En este libro se juega, se aprende y esto merece atención. Se pone en juego una idea de la arqueología, no en el marco de un conjunto de métodos que se describen y se nombran, sino que se le sitúa en un campo de visibilidad, en una formación real de objetos de estudio; se apuesta por dar cuenta de una relación entre formación científica y formación técnica por fuera de la historia de las mentalidades; se aprende que las decisiones y las políticas se efectúan cuando se sabe qué estallidos y qué contenciones tiene el concepto población; se puede mirar al niño que juega con arena en la orilla del río, acurrucado si se quiere, de pie, o simplemente mirando la otra orilla imaginando que sus pies rozan la fuerza volcánica de las aguas. Abstract In this book you play, you learn and this deserves attention. An idea of archeology is put into play, not within the framework of a set of methods that are described and named, but rather it is situated in a field of visibility, in a real formation of objects of study; it is committed to account for a relationship between scientific training and technical training outside the history of mentalities; You learn that decisions and policies are made when you know what outbursts and what restraints the concept of population has; You can watch the child playing with sand on the river bank, curled up if you like, standing up, or simply looking at the other bank imagining that their feet touch the volcanic force of the waters.

L'organisation des Témoins de Jéhovah est un des mouvements religieux le plus fermé au monde, en dépit d'un paravent d'accueil et d'ouverture. D'existence somme toute récente, elle s'est portant découverte des racines dans le sillage de l'époque apostolique, au point de réécrire toute l'histoire du christianisme et d'ériger sa légende en article de foi dans le plan du salut de l'humanité. Considérant toute critique qui lui est faite comme une attaque envers Dieu, la société Watch Tower a mis sur pied un mode de fonctionnement favorisant une soumission absolue de ses fidèles, jusqu'à l'absurde et, parfois, jusqu'au sacrifice de soi. Ne craignant pas de s'identifier à la vérité, elle dicte les croyances de ses membres et domine sur la foi de ses fidèles. Ayant érigé la peur en mode de fonctionnement, l'autocensure en système de contrôle des masses, la raison en manque de foi, le doute en maladie spirituelle grave et la curiosité intellectuelle en antichambre de l'apostasie, les témoins de Jéhovah, en tant que masse des croyants, pratiquent ainsi, mieux que quiconque, la novlangue à un niveau sans précédent. Incapables d'accéder aux causes de leur mal-être que d'entrer en résonnance avec la société dont ils font pourtant pleinement partie, ils vivent une double aliénation, dont plus d'un ressortent de cette expérience mortifère complètement anéantis. Toutefois, l'édifice de cette organisation se fissure chaque jour ; rien ni personne ne saura arrêter cette lente et évidente décomposition. Avant que sa complète désolation, inéluctable, n'advienne, fut-ce dans un avenir relativement lointain, il est utile de rétablir la vérité sur cette arnaque spirituelle.

Prometheus Bound Aeschylus - Prometheus Bound is an Ancient Greek tragedy. In antiquity, it was attributed to Aeschylus, but now is considered by some scholars to be the work of another hand, and perhaps one as late as c. 430 BC. Despite these doubts of authorship, the play's designation as Aeschylean has remained conventional. The tragedy is based on the myth of Prometheus, a Titan who defies the gods and gives fire to mankind, acts for which he is subjected to perpetual punishment.The play is composed almost entirely of speeches and contains little action since its protagonist is chained and immobile throughout. At the beginning, Kratos (Authority), Bia (violence), and the smith-god Hephaestus chain the Titan Prometheus to a mountain in the Caucasus, with Hephaestus alone expressing reluctance and pity, and then departing. According to the author, Prometheus is being punished not only for stealing fire, but also for thwarting Zeus's plan to obliterate the human race. This punishment is especially galling since Prometheus was instrumental in Zeus's victory in the Titanomachy.The Oceanids appear and attempt to comfort Prometheus by conversing with him. Prometheus cryptically tells them that he knows of a potential marriage that would lead to Zeus's downfall. A Titan named Oceanus commiserates with Prometheus and urges him to make peace with Zeus. Prometheus tells the chorus that the gift of fire to mankind was not his only benefaction; in the so-called Catalogue of the Arts (447-506), he reveals that he taught men all the civilizing arts, such as writing, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, metallurgy, architecture, and agriculture.Prometheus is then visited by Io, a human maiden pursued by a lustful Zeus; the Olympian transformed Io into a cow, and a gadfly sent by Zeus's wife Hera has chased Io all the way from Argos. Prometheus forecasts Io's future travels, telling her that Zeus will eventually end her torment in Egypt, where she will bear a son named Epaphus. He says one of her descendants (an unnamed Heracles), thirteen generations hence, will release him from his own torment.Finally, Hermes the messenger-god is sent down by the angered Zeus to demand that Prometheus tell him who threatens to overthrow him. Prometheus refuses, and Zeus strikes him with a thunderbolt that plunges Prometheus into the abyss.

Dionysus, the hedonistic god of wine and ecstasy, carelessly discards his latest mortal conquest, Ariadne, dismissing their passionate night as meaningless.
