Résumé Ces dernières années, la droite radicale populiste en Europe de l’Ouest a élaboré une position idéologique plus précise, laquelle est caractérisée par l’évocation du droit à la différence et une défense du particularisme culturel. Ces deux aspects sont employés afin de mobiliser un électorat contre la perception de deux grandes menaces externes à la culture et aux valeurs des sociétés européennes, soit la mondialisation et l’Islam. Par cette idéologie, la droite populiste a réussi à étendre sa clientèle au-delà des soi-disant groupes menacés par la modernisation économique, sociale et culturelle des sociétés occidentales. En raison de l’importance accrue des enjeux politiques de type culturel, notamment le thème de l’identité collective dans l’espace politique contemporain, l’idéologie populiste de droite constitue un défi de taille pour les démocraties pluralistes.

Return migration has been one of the rather neglected aspects of migration until recently, although a considerable number of international migrants as well as inter-regional migrants return to their place of origin. Nevertheless, since the beginning of the 1990s, the interest for issues related to return migration has grown considerably. In the context of Turkish return migration there still is a lack of information about the motives for returning, the new social status, the levels of satisfaction and reintegration as well as the employment and income of emigrants who have returned home. This paper aims at shedding light on this neglected aspect of Turkish migration in the context of Europe as well as on the history of Turkey as a country of immigration.

Dans les sociétés postindustrielles, les nouveaux modes de vie, caractérisés par la facilité des communications matérielles et immatérielles entraînent un rapport à l'espace radicalement nouveau. C'est cet aspect de la postmodernité (notion fort polysémique) qui intéresse les géographes. On peut se demander si la mondialisation, qui semble inhérente aux sociétés postindustrielles, n'entraîne pas, par choc en retour, des replis identitaires, des «reterritorialisations», des retours à des conceptions de l'organisation de l'espace qui semblaient disparues à jamais. En France, le retour du pays (un des concepts fondateurs de la géographie française) comme cadre spatial et social d'aménagement et de développement local, tel qu'il est prévu par la Loi d'orientation pour l'aménagement (1995) connaît un succès étonnant. Malgré de fortes ambiguïtés, c'est peut-être l'amorce d'une revitalisation de la vie locale, échappant à un découpage administratif que l'on croyait intangible.

Retirement behaviour has been the focus of attention of much microeconomic research in recent years. At the same time, most industrialized countries are struggling with reforming their retirement systems to counteract adverse demographic shocks. Early retirement is an important aspect both in explaining retirement behaviour and in forecasting the future of welfare systems. In particular, early retirement is related to an important policy puzzle: it may be optimal to increase the legal retirement age, however we do not know enough of the behavioural response of workers to policy changes and whether these would be effective measures to counteract future fiscal imbalances. Social security systems (and many private pension plans) in Europe have encouraged early exits. This paper reviews the empirical literature on early retirement, with particular reference to OECD countries. The basic message emerging from our work is that much could be learnt by having better quality data, in particular micro-level data that could be used to estimate behavioural responses having under control the many factors affecting retirement decisions, including institutional factors and allowing for full cross country comparability.

Today, Information and Communication Technologies have developed to the extent of amplifying political procedures that are central to the contemporary civic society, such as political participation and citizen engagement. eParticipation is a multidisciplinary field of study, which is particularly relevant in several contexts and environments, e.g. digital democracy, public services, open government, popular social media etc. This paper addresses the eParticipation framework in the European context, during the last 10 years.Our research will explore theoretically and empirically how citizen participation is achieved through social media and digital public services. The article explores both the cultural and political environments that favor the development of eParticipation initiatives, with the study of networking interactions based on social and public policy initiatives. We are particularly interested in the public policy formulations that embrace eParticipation and most importantly the recent developments in the field, which include a number of eConsultation, ePolling, eLegislation, eElectioneering, eVoting etc. A review of the good practice examples in eParticipation policy development will help us identify the strengths and weaknesses of the digital framework. Within the context of social value, we want to explore the aspect of eParticipation in the broader political scene, by examining the role of digital participation in political crises. By drawing examples based on case studies of public policy formulation in European countries, the research suggests a correlation between digital innovation and challenging politics. The framework is originally designed to be sustainable for the European societies and it places citizens in the center of its conception. It is, however, argued that the interaction between public policy innovation and citizen engagement needs continuous scholarly attention and study.

AbstractReligion is a major aspect of human life that directly intersects with a number of social policy issues. Although much has been written about the religion-social policy nexus, the literature remains overly fragmented. Focusing primarily on Western Europe and North America, this review essay seeks to create a fruitful dialogue among the three main streams of research in the area, which respectively that focus on political parties, faith-based organisations, and individual behaviour. This essay has the goal of formulating a new, integrated agenda for future research on the religion and social policy nexus that also extends beyond Western societies.

Abstract Whether and to what extent the means of family members and familial care activities are relevant in the calculation of welfare benefits is often neglected in welfare state analysis. By quantifying qualitative institutional data, we analyze this aspect and how it has changed in regard to minimum-income benefits for persons of pension age and unemployed persons in ten European welfare states. We find no general trend toward individualization of entitlements but a decreasing relevance of family for the entitlements of persons of pension age, and increasing relevance for the unemployed. The evidence underlines significant differences between countries and family-related dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
La problématique centrale étudie les conséquences de la mondialisation et de l'européanisation sur les liens qu'entretiennent l'individu et la société. Au sein d'un modèle transactionnel (identité sociale, représentations sociales, apprentissage social), le changement << mondialisation >> est appréhendé à travers plusieurs niveaux d'analyse. Particulièrement, les représentations sociales permettent de relater l'évaluation et la transaction qui s'opèrent : - au sein de plusieurs disciplines et a un niveau d'expertise élevé (économie, communication, politique, relation sociale, droit. . . ), - au sein d'un milieu social et dans une pratique sociale spécifique (le milieu agricole), - au sein d'autres groupes sociaux (étudiants, salaries,. . . ). Les individus vivent la mondialisation dans les relations culturelles et identitaires, économiques et politiques mais aussi dans l'organisation des représentations fondamentales (moi, autrui, société). Pour faire face, pour les français, une nouvelle dimension semble jouer un rôle majeur : l’Europe. Des entretiens, des enquêtes et une expérimentation permettent de mettre en évidence la transaction difficile entre l'individu et les dimensions sociétales (région, nation, Europe, monde). Les résultats présentent la structure des représentations sociales de l'européanisation et de la mondialisation selon les positions sociales qui les génèrent. Les dimensions psychosociales et les perspectives temporelles se montrent heuristiques pour comprendre les liens qui existent entre idéologie, représentations sociales et pratiques. La mondialisation est présentée comme un << stress sociétal >>, c'est-à-dire comme un changement provoquant une transaction difficilement appréhensible et évaluable par l'individu.

Full textAbstract:
Notre étude débute sur l'observation de l'affaiblissement de l'espace symbolique de l'état qui remet ainsi en cause l'identité citoyenne. Le lien socio-politique, qui à été fondé sur une structure pyramidale du temps copernicien et dans une logique fondée sur des relations contractuelles et rationnelles, n'est plus à même d'expliquer les rapports sociaux de notre temps. Partant de cette réflexion, notre hypothèse se fonde sur l'observation de l'augmentation de phénomènes socio-politiques lies à l'émergence des nouveaux réseaux de communication et de medias. La manière dont ceux-ci s'impliquent dans notre société nous offrirait ainsi une lecture de nouvelles formes de relations socio-politiques qui s'inscrivent dans un ordre structurel de la société, et que nous appellerons << réticulaires >>. De ce point de vue, nous avons voulu comprendre dans quelle mesure, et sous quelles formes, s'articulent les problèmes que posent la société en réseaux, et les problèmes que posent la reconstitution de nouvelles entités. Nous avons privilégies deux terrains de recherches, l'émergence symptomatique des << réseaux citoyens (community network(ing)) >>, et la politique européenne de la société de l'information en ce qu'elle montre la difficulté à créer une territorialité symbolique par les moyens des NTIC. Nous proposons une compréhension de notre société par les phénomènes corrélatifs de mondialisation et de << communautarisation >>. Ici, l'enjeu identitaire se traduit par la recherche de l'individualité collective, celle qui se manifeste par de nouveaux types d'<< être-ensemble >> et de << vivre-ensemble >>. La relation intersubjective transversale qui s'impose se situe entre le nous et le moi ; la frontière qui sépare ce qui est de l'intérieur et ce qui est de l'extérieur n'est plus fixe, prédéfinie, mais est désormais brouillée par les formes de réseaux. Nous avons appelé ce nouvel ordre de relation << structures réticulaires >>. Les nouvelles technologies de la communication, quant à elles, interviennent dans ce contexte pour accélérer ces nouveaux liens socio-politiques. Aujourd'hui, ceux-ci qui se concrétisent de manière réticulaire nécessiteraient donc d'être compris dans une nouvelle interprétation de la citoyenneté, de l'espace public et de la proximité. Notre étude propose ainsi de ne pas se limiter à l'étude de la société de la communication, mais de l'appréhender dans le

Cette thèse portée sur l'émergence d'une identité musulmane européenne aspire à mettre en lumière les mécanismes qui sous tendent ce phénomène social. Au travers de la question de l'identité sociale, nous avons émis l'hypothèse d'une corrélation existante entre les deux concepts d'intériorisation en sciences sociales, et d'internalisation intrinsèque à la mondialisation en économie. La conceptualisation d'un processus d'"intériorisation-internalisation" que nous proposons dans cette thèse, permet d'une part, d'inscrire le processus de construction de cette identité sociale dans le contexte de la mondialisation. D'autre part, elle permet de proposer une nouvelle grille d'analyse quant à la lecture de certains faits sociaux relatifs aux Européens de confession musulmane.

Cette thèse s’applique à explorer dans quelle mesure et par quels mécanismes lamondialisation, au travers de ses différentes composantes, impacte la santé des travailleurseuropéens. Dans une première partie, nous exposons les conséquences socio-économiques de cephénomène. Dans une deuxième partie, nous montrons que l’exposition concurrentielleinternationale constitue un facteur de risque pour la santé des travailleurs non qualifiés. Lesfacteurs individuels et organisationnels sont néanmoins les plus à même d’expliquer la prévalencede troubles physiques et mentaux chez l’ensemble des travailleurs. La mondialisation impliqueaussi de nouvelles pratiques organisationnelles liées à l’internationalisation des firmes, une autrefacette de la mondialisation. Nous soulignons que les travailleurs doivent ainsi trouver lesressources nécessaires pour rester attractifs dans ce monde en perpétuelle évolution. Dans unetroisième partie, nous exposons que la mondialisation favorise le développement des activités deservices dans les pays industrialisés. En parallèle, l'organisation de type "lean" est mise en placedans ces secteurs et la pression concurrentielle s’accroit. Ces changements impactent les conditionsde réalisation du travail. Dans ce contexte, la santé se trouve dégradée par des facteurs de risqueen évolution, parmi eux l’intensité du travail liées aux relations interpersonnelles. Enfin, nousmontrons que la Responsabilité Sociale de l’Entreprise apparait comme une solution dont lesentreprises peuvent s’emparer pour améliorer la santé de leurs travailleurs et par conséquent, leurperformance sociale et financièreThis thesis aims at exploring to what extent globalization, through its diversecomponents, impacts the health of European workers. In a first part, we expose the socio-economicconsequences of this multi-faceted phenomenon. In a second part, we show that internationalcompetition, one of the essential components of globalization, is a risk factor for non-skilledworkers. Nevertheless, individual and organizational factors are the most likely to explain mentaland physical disorders prevalence in the population as a whole. Globalization also implies newpractices linked to firms’ internationalization strategy, another component of globalization. Weunderline that workers must acquire the skills to stay attractive in a constantly changing worldand they do not find much support in their companies. In a third part, we show that globalizationenhances the surge of the service sector in industrialized countries. In addition, the leanmanagement is implemented in those sectors and competitive pressure increases. These changesimpact the way the work is performed. Within this context, the health of workers deterioratesbecause they are exposed to changing risk factors, among them: intense of work related tointerpersonal relationships. Finally, we find that the Corporate Social Responsibility comes as ananswer to improve workers’ health and as a consequence, firms’ social and financial performance

Full textAbstract:
La thèse regarde l’étude et l’analyse des initiatives fait d’un ensemble d’acteurs individuels et collectifs qui, tant sur le plan mondial que local, ont joué un rôle de protagonistes entre les dernières années du XXè siècle et le début du troisième millénaire, pour la mise en place d’un mouvement baptisé « alterglobal » – définition due à la particularité des discours tenus et des significations données à l’action de ce mouvement appelé avec une certaine superficialité par les médias du monde entier « no global » ou « anti mondialiste». Cette recherche veut démontrer que le but de l’action alterglobal, tout en exerçant des pressions institutionnelles par le bais de ses composantes sur différents niveaux de la vie sociale, n’est pas seulement de vouloir trouver des nouvelles formes d’interventions institutionnelles et de participation politique. Objectif de la thèse est aussi de démontrer que le mouvement alterglobal est composé d’une multitude d’orientations et des sensibilités subjectives qui ne cherchent pas une représentation alternative à la représentation politique pour la revendication de leurs propres intérêts et droits ni le moyen par lequel les individus peuvent participer au débat public global, comme le soutiennent les auteurs proches de la Global Civil Society. Au contraire, l’action alterglobal place en tête de ses objectifs, la reconnaissance et l’affirmation des droits culturels, politique et sociaux relatifs à la spécificité subjective individuelle et de groupe. Le travail de thèse concerne l’analyse du mouvement alterglobal dans trois différents contextes nationaux : l’Italie, la France et l’AngleterreThe thesis looks at the study and analysis of initiatives set up by individual and collective actors that - both globally and locally - have played between the last years of the twentieth century and the beginning of third millennium a key role for the establishment of a movement called "alterglobal”. This definition is due to the particularity of meanings given to the action of this movement, called with certain superficiality in the worldwide media "no global" or "anti globalist". This research aims to demonstrate that the purpose of the alterglobal action - while exercising institutional pressures by its components at different levels of social life – is not reduced to find new forms of institutional interventions and political participation. Objective of the thesis is also to demonstrate that the alterglobal movement is composed by a multitude of orientations and subjective sensitivities who are just not seeking an alternative to political representation for the claim of their own interests and rights nor the way by which individuals can participate in the global public debate, as argued by the authors inspired by the Global Civil Society theory. Instead, the alterglobal action place at the head of its objectives the recognition and affirmation of cultural, political and social rights related to individual and group subjective specificity. The thesis concerns the analysis of alterglobal movement in three different national contexts : Italy, France and England

Full textAbstract:
Esta tesis pretende formalizar una geografía psicosocial y trata del papel de la psique y del espacio en la individuación y la relación con el otro, mediante el estudio del habitar en Cadaqués. Éste es un municipio turístico y semi-rural de la Costa Brava española, localizado en el seno de la región catalana del Empordà y en la costa mediterránea sur-europea. Participando de la diversidad de la inmigración en dicha localidad, los no-nacionales extra/europeos, a menudo reducidos al estatuto de trabajadores extranjeros de temporada y precarios, moran también en el pueblo, algunos de ellos desde bastante tiempo. En este espacio compartido, atravesado y rico en vidas complejas, la convivencia con el otro tiene lugar bajo varias compartimentaciones, vinculadas a posiciones sociales diferenciadas y al marketing de una pretendida autenticidad autóctona. Una lectura trans-escalar de las evoluciones espaciales y un enfoque biográfico sobre las experiencias humanas posibilitan una apreciación de las transformaciones contemporáneas del pueblo de Cadaqués, en el marco de la mundialización, y de las formas de co-habitar que resultan de ellas. Todo ello nos muestra un lugar constituido por el entramado secular de múltiples movimientos materiales e ideales. Además, Cadaqués también está constituido por las brechas que son negociadas entre los habitantes según lógicas comunitarias animadas por intereses variables, a pesar de desdichas y de aspiraciones existenciales comunes. El análisis de datos de esta tesis se fundamenta sobre una investigación cualitativa realizada en el contexto de un trabajo de campo etnográfico que ha incluido entrevistas a una amplia variedad de residentes, así como la recopilación de datos estadísticos, documentales (incluyendo prensa local) y cartográficos. Todo ello muestra un día a día animado por una pluralidad de universos. Los catalizadores geo-históricos de la notoriedad y la adhesión a procesos de globalización del pueblo de Cadaqués, así como los retos actuales de la copresencia heredada, se ven destacados por las migraciones ínter/nacionales. Este estudio de caso extendido interroga por consiguiente de forma distanciada, situada y ordinarizada, una participación de los inmigrantes en la localidad, a menudo considerada desde el medio urbano bajo los ángulos del etnicismo y del integracionismo metodológicos. Frente al aumento del racismo, el corto-plazo político y una democracidad cuestionable en cuanto a los derechos de vivir y de desplazarse en Europa y en Occidente, esta tesis sugiere la necesidad de un pensamiento prospectivo y utópico renovado, basado en una sociabilidad respetuosa y promotora de la alteridad y en una ciudadanía que permita tanto el anclaje como la movilidad.Cette thèse, qui vise la formalisation d’une géographie psycho-sociale, aborde le rôle de la psyché et de l’espace dans l’individuation et le rapport à l’autre, à travers l’habiter à Cadaqués, commune semi-rurale touristique de la Costa Brava espagnole, située au sein de la région catalane de l’Empordà, sur la côte méditerranéenne sud-européenne. Participant de la diversité immigrée locale, des non-nationaux extra/européens, souvent réduits au statut de travailleurs étrangers saisonniers et précaires, habitent aussi ce village, pour certains depuis longtemps. Dans cet espace partagé, traversé et riche de lignes de vies complexes, le vivre-ensemble avec autrui connaît pour autant divers compartimentages, liés à des positions sociales différenciées, et au marketing d’une prétendue authenticité autochtone. Une lecture trans-scalaire des évolutions spatiales et une approche biographique des expériences humaines permettent alors d’apprécier les transformations contemporaines du village dans la mondialisation, et les formes du co-habiter qui en résultent. Elles donnent à voir un lieu constitué de l’enchevêtrement séculaire de multiples mouvements matériels et idéels. Mais aussi des écarts, qui sont négociés entre les hommes selon des logiques communautaires mues par des intérêts variés, malgré des infortunes et des aspirations existentielles communes. L’analyse, qui s’appuie sur une enquête qualitative mobilisant un terrain ethnographique avec différents résidents interviewés, des données statistiques, de la presse locale, et l’outil cartographique, montre ainsi un quotidien animé par une pluralité d’univers. Les ferments géo-historiques d’une notoriété et d’une globalité villageoises et les enjeux actuels d’une coprésence héritée, sont mis en exergue par les migrations inter/nationales. Cette étude de cas étendue interroge donc de manière distanciée, située et ordinarisée, une participation des migrants à la localité plus souvent saisie en milieu urbain sous les angles de l’ethnicisme et de l’intégrationnisme méthodologiques. Face à une augmentation du racisme, un court-termisme politique, et une démocraticité discutable des droits à habiter et à se mouvoir en Europe et en Occident, cette thèse suggère la nécessité d’une pensée prospective et utopique renouvelée, sur une socialité respectueuse et promotrice d’altérité, et sur une citoyenneté associant ancrage et mobilité.
This thesis, which seeks to formalize a psycho-social geographical situation, reviews the role of the psyche and of space in individuation and the relationship with the other by studying everyday life in Cadaqués, a semi-rural tourist village on Spain’s Costa Brava, situated in the heart of the Catalan region of Empordà on the South-Mediterranean coast. This village has a diverse local population, given the presence of European and non-European immigrants who are often reduced to the status of foreign seasonal and temporary workers, often long-term. In this shared community, with a wide variety of rich and complex lives, co-habitation with outsiders leads to the emergence of several subgroups based on hierarchical social position and promotion of a so-called native authenticity. A transcalar interpretation of spatial changes and a biographical approach on human experience permits an assessment of contemporary transformations in this village as part of the global world and of different forms of co-habitation that emanate from this situation. It describes a space constituted by a secular interaction of a wide range of material and idealistic changes, while at the same time, exposing the variations negotiated between individuals along community lines and influenced by various interests, despite their shared existential misfortunes and aspirations. This analysis, which is based on a qualitative survey of an ethnographic terrain, interviews with different categories of residents, statistical data, press articles, and mapping, reveals daily life functioning within a plurality of universes. Geohistorical catalysts of notoriety and adherence to globalization processes of the village of Cadaqués, as well as issues arising from a co-habitation between native population and visitors, are both highlighted by inter/national migrations. This extended case study takes a distanced, situated and ordinarized approach to questioning the participation of migrants in their village, a participation that is more often analysed in an urban environment from the perspective of methodological ethnicism and inclusiveness. With the rise in racism, political short-term vision and disputes over conformity to democratic principles, specifically the right to live and move around Europe and the West, this thesis demonstrates the importance of initiating a renewed prospective and utopic approach to a respectful sociality that is capable of promoting otherness and a citizenship that permits both rooting and mobility.

La mondialisation a changé le sort de nombreux pays, et son influence va bien au-delà de la sphère économique. Dans cette thèse, j'analyse l'impact de la mondialisation sur la santé et l'environnement, et essaie de comprendre ses implications pour les décideurs politiques. Je cherche à répondre aux questions suivantes: quels défis la mondialisation pose à la santé humaine et à l'environnement, comment les pouvoirs publics devraient y réagir, est-ce que la mondialisation apporte également des opportunités pour améliorer l'état de la santé et de l'environnement pour les pays en développement, comment ces derniers pourraient saisir ces opportunités dans le cadre actuel de l'économie et de la politique internationales. Enfin, je trouve que la mondialisation apporte à la fois des défis et des opportunités pour la gestion de la santé et de l'environnement. Bien que la mobilité internationale des personnes rende le contrôle des épidémies plus difficile du point de vue d'un seul pays, une campagne internationale bien coordonnée peut réduire les coûts pour chacun et faciliter une éradication mondiale. Bien que la libéralisation du commerce puisse entraîner l'effet «paradis pour les pollueurs» et aggraver les inégalités environnementales entre les pays, les barrières vertes au commerce ont tendance à définir des règles du jeu équitables et à compenser les faibles réglementations dans les pays en développement. Pour ces derniers, il est très important de mettre ces opportunités au service de leur développement social et économique. Pour parvenir à cette fin, ils doivent d'abord faire face aux défis de la mondialisation avec une attitude plus positive: s'adapter, ne pas résisterGlobalization bas profoundly changed the fate of many societies, and its influence goes far beyond the economic sphere. In this thesis, I analyze the impact of globalization on human health and environment, and try to understand the implications for policy makers. More precisely, I look to answer the following questions: what challenges does globalization pose to the management of health and environment? How should public authorities react to them? Does globalization also bring opportunities to improve the state of health and environment for developing countries? How could the latter seize these opportunities in today's framework of international economics and politics? To sum up, I find that globalization brings both challenges and opportunities to the management of health and environment. Although the international mobility of people makes disease control more difficult from a single country's point of view, a well-coordinated international campaign can reduce each country's costs and facilitate a global eradication. Although trade liberalization can cause the pollution haven effect and exacerbate the environmental inequality between different countries, environmental trade barriers tend to create a level playing field and make up for the weak regulations in developing countries like China. For the developing countries, it is very important to put these opportunities to the service of their social and economic development. To achieve this end, they should first face the challenges of globalization with a more positive attitude: adapting to them, not resisting them

Les rapports d'extériorité culturels et économiques globaux induisent des stratégies de résistance auprès des unités sociales intérieures frappées par le changement, les incertitudes, les inégalités et le désenchantement de la techno-logique marchande et scientifique - autant que par ses effets pervers et par les crises individuelles et collectives induites par les accidents ou par les malversations. Ils imputent des contre-modèles mettant originellement en dialogue rationalité et utopismes.

La pédagogie, l'acquisition de savoirs économiques et géopolitiques, l'expressivité et la subjectivité sont de mise. Intellectuels fondateurs, militants politiques et adhérents se côtoient. Des imaginaires se renouvellent - la jacquerie paysanne -, s'inventent - l'internationalisme cybernétique - et des éléments culturels éclectiques entrent en combinaison pour former une figure politique à la fois originale, nouvelle et héritée. Elle diffuse ses termes et ses représentations dans l'opinion publique, fait éclater ses héros médiatiques et génère de nouvelles pratiques - boycottage des produits Danone, commerce équitable Mais bientôt, la diversité cède face aux stratégies des militants issus des réseaux de la gauche radicale. L'adhérent est contrôlé, l'intellectuel externalisé. Une idéologie radicale et totale et une vocation messianique caractérisent bientôt le mouvement qui contrarie la domination politique du PS et rompt le front électoral de gauche. Mais de nouvelles formes échappent au nivellement et jaillissent sur des espaces extérieursThe global cultural and economical rapports of exteriority induct some strategies of resistance on the inner social unities struck by the change, the uncertainties and the unenchantments of the merchant and scientific techno-logic - as far as their perverse effects and the individual and collective crisis inducts by the accidents or by the malversations. They impute some counter-models, which are originally allying rationality with utopicsms. In the beginning, groups and personalities of several origins are articulated round an editorial of the Monde diplomatique, in the extension of a dynamic imputed by May 1995 and by the struggle against the AMI. Attac - " association pour la taxation des transactions financières pour l'aide aux citoyens " - is created. This way of thinking is certainly socialist and republican, but the social spaces and the social trajectories, which are crossing themselves, are differing. The pedagogy, the acquisition of the economical and geopolitical knowledge, the expressivities and the subjectivity are practiced. Foundering intellectuals, political militants and adherents are coasting along. Some imaginaries are renewing themselves, - the peasant "jacquerie" - are inventing themselves - the cybernetic internationalism - and eclectic cultural elements are combining themselves together to form a figure, which is at once original, new and inherited. It diffuses its terms and images in the public opinion, it shows its mediatic heroes and it generates new practices - boycotts of the products of "Danone", equitable trade But soon, diversity gave in to the strategies of the militants from the radical left-wing's network. The adherent is controlled, the intellectual is externalised. A radical and total ideology and a messianic vocation characterize soon the politic movement, which runs counter the domination of the PS and breaks the left-wing's electoral front. But new forms avoid to the levelling and spring on exterior spaces

Comme cela a toujours été le cas lors du déploiement d'un nouveau dispositif communicationnel, le développement du réseau internet a entraîné une multiplication de discours déterministes. Adoptant une approche démystificatrice, nous nous sommes intéressé à la façon dont les acteurs sociaux ont utilisé l'Internet lors des négociations sur l'accord multilatéral sur l'investissement (AMI), le "réseau des réseau" ayant souvent été invoqué pour expliquer l'échec de celles-ci. Nous nous sommes aussi penché sur les usages au sein de l'association pour une taxation des transactions financières pour l'aide aux citoyens (ATTAC), Souvent présentée comme le des formes de mobilisation sociale. Enfin, nous nous sommes interrogé sur le rôle de l'internet dans la démocratie de nos sociétés. Trois ensembles théoriques ont balisé notre démarche : les travaux de Jürgen Habermas, Yves de La Haye, Jean Moucheron et Michel Sénécal sur l'espace public; l'approche de la démocratie de Cornelius Castoriadis, pour lequel l'objectif de la politique est de permettre la formation de citoyens et de citoyennes ainsi que d'institutions autonomes; la sociologie des usages des techniques de l'information et de la communication (TIC) avec les travaux de chercheurs et de chercheuses comme Pierre Chambat, Josiane Joue͏̈t, Gilles Pronovost et Serge Proulx. Notre recherche a porté sur les sites d'acteurs sociaux;des listes de discussion,des réponses à des questionnaires semi-directifs,des rencontres et échanges par courriel avec des membres d'association en France et au Québec ainsi que la lecture d'un grand nombre de documents publiés par des associations.

Le Magdalénien offre de nombreux gisements riches en matériel faunique. Bien connue dans certaines parties de l’Europe, cette période demeure cependant, dans d’autres, mal documentée du point de vue archéozoologique. Deux régions seront présente��es : le Berry (coteau de "la Garenne", Saint-Marcel – Indre, France) situé à la limite des bassins aquitain et parisien et la Moravie (Kůlna, Sloup – République Tchèque) l’une des régions les plus orientales de l’implantation magdalénienne. Les comportements de subsistance et le statut socio-économique des espèces (essentiellement le Renne) seront analysés, afin d'identifier les influences respectives des contraintes environnementales ou culturelles au sein des différents faciès magdaléniens étudiés. En comparant ces résultats avec les autres disciplines utilisées en Préhistoire, des informations complémentaires nous permettront de discuter de la notion de territoire et de sa gestion par les derniers chasseurs-cueilleurs paléolithiquesThe Magdalenian period offers a large range of archaeological sites rich in fauna material. However, this culture, very well known in some parts of Europe, stays poorly documented in other parts on a zooarchaeological point of view. We present our results from two Europeans regions where the subsistence behaviour was unknown: First, the “Berry” (deposit slope of “La Garenne”, Saint-Marcel – Indre, France) at the junction between the Aquitaine and Parisian basins, several times occupied by Magdalenian ; and then Moravia (Kůlna, Sloup – Czech Republic), one of the most oriental Magdalenian’s establishment. We discuss the socio-economic status of the Reindeer to see if its place in the Magdalenian society was the same in all Europe and if its exploitation results from environmental conditions or from acultural choice. Comparing these results with others disciplines then allows us to discuss about territory and its management by the hunters-gatherers from the last Pleniglacial

AbstractThis chapter presents and characterises the way in which, in the twenty-first century, after years of feminist struggles inside and outside of institutions, gender relations are organised in the different countries of the INCASI project (on the European side, Spain, Italy, Finland, France and the United Kingdom, on the side of the South American Southern Cone, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay). It pays special attention to the implementation of feminist issues on political agendas, and in particular the assignment of women to unpaid care work—an aspect of the power continuum that we look to relate to other aspects. Gradually and for almost a century all countries in both continents have granted women the status of subjects, citizens and employees. However, the conditions, challenges and timelines of this process differ considerably from one continent to another, so they need to be addressed separately. The neoliberal era did not have the same impact in Europe as it did in South America (nor was it exactly the same between particular European countries or among South American ones).

AbstractRegardless of the good reputation of the Finnish basic education system, Finnish Roma children fall behind the overall average in their performance of academic skills: Roma children face more challenges completing basic education and have more repeated school years. Furthermore, compared to the average, Roma youth apply less for upper secondary education and thus their general level of education remains low. However, looking at Roma education solely through problematic representations only provides a partial picture. In this article, based on two separate sets of fieldwork among Finnish Kaale Roma, we examine how teachers, Roma activists and mediators perceive the educational trajectories of Finnish Roma children and youth. The article seeks to scrutinize Finnish Roma schooling within the framework of the Finnish National Policy on Roma (NRIS). The analysis highlights the multiplicity of voices in the field, discusses the possibilities, and thus problematizes the single-aspect discourse on Roma education. Many countries in Central and Eastern Europe struggle with school and residential segregation, but Finnish Roma face different challenges.

AbstractMaterial deprivation is a key aspect of social exclusion, and the domain of economic exclusion, for the older population. In this chapter we utilised cross-sectional data from Wave 5 (2013) of the Survey of Health and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and logistic regression analysis to assess the variation in material deprivation of the population aged 50+ across four geographic clusters of welfare regimes in Europe. We used the SHARE-based Material Deprivation Index (MDI) to assess the associations between material deprivation and socio-demographic factors (age, gender, education, economic activity status, household type, number of children, residential area, chronic diseases and limitations of daily activities, and origin). We observed a pronounced variation in material deprivation among the older population across welfare clusters, with high levels of MDI in the Eastern and Southern clusters. Living alone, having a large number of children, low education, activity limitations, and being of immigrant origin significantly increase the risk of material deprivation in older age in all clusters. The study also identified subgroups of older persons that have an increased risk of material deprivation in some but not all clusters, such as those aged 80+ and rural residents in the Southern and Eastern clusters.

Full textAbstract:
Whether through a deliberate and conscious reconfiguring of choice juristic symbols and idioms, or through an academic attempt to order and classify the cumulative outcomes of a gradually emerging legal tradition, the legal writings of eighteenth century reformers were also historical writings that reflected on the historical contexts in which the law was articulated, and commented on the social and political crises of their times. As such, the legal writings of eighteenth-century reformers were sites in which traditional notions of authority were assessed, contested and restructured. This Chapter focuses on this aspect of eighteenth century legacy. It underscores the fact that the primary site of eighteenth century reform was in the fields of usul (theoretical principles). It also outlines the systematic arguments generated in the eighteenth century that limited the scope of religious law rather than extending it endlessly through legal analogy.

This chapter examines the relationship between social justice, security and peace. The authors note significant internal heterogeneity in India and Europe, despite the statebuilding efforts in India and standardization processes in Europe. The authors give an overview of five sets of ideas which have linked social justice and peace. All five sets of ideas are showing that if social justice is taken seriously then social harmony will be preserved and at the same time tensions will be reduced, together with chances for conflict. However, they find that peace accords have a tendency to emphasize security rather than welfare. This is because international interventions are usually led by leading actors from the global north who are guided by neoliberal agenda. They usually underplay social aspects of the state and emphasise its security aspect. This is one of the reasons why priority is given to security over social justice, when sequencing of activities in the intervention. The authors give an example of reforms in Georgia which led to drastic undermining of state in terms of social provision. They conclude that international attempts which focus on social justice are much fewer in numbers than those which address security issues.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay, Detloff and Pohlhaus examine Virginia Woolf and Ludwig Wittgenstein’s writings on the precarious nature of sense and certainty as a counterpoint to Elaine Scarry’s analysis of the rhetoric of war in The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World. In her introduction, Scarry cites Virginia Woolf’s “On Being Ill” to exemplify a crucial premise of her argument about pain’s propensity to “bring[] about, even within the radius of several feet, this absolute split between one’s sense of one’s own reality and the reality of other persons” (4). “Whatever pain achieves,” Scarry argues, “it achieves in part through its unsharability, and it ensures this unsharability through its resistance to language” (4). Through a more extensive analysis of “On Being Ill” than Scarry affords, along with a reading of Woolf’s later essay, “Craftsmanship,” Detloff and Pohlhaus illuminate a distinction between Woolf’s position and a central premise of Scarry’s theory –the presumed unsharability and near inexpressibility of pain. The essay argues that Woolf was not necessarily describing a fundamental incapacity of language to express pain, but rather a social practice of failing to attend to pain and therefore failing to develop the lexical tools to express the pain adequately. If this is the diagnosis, what is called for is a shift in attention (a shift in aspect perception, to follow Wittgenstein) from the inexpressibility of pain to our collective lack of attention to pain. Wittgenstein, himself a veteran of World War I who saw plenty of “bodies in pain” at the front, proposes a different view of the relationship between pain and knowing from Scarry. Following Stanley Cavell, Detloff and Pohlhaus understand the relation between the voice of the ordinary language philosopher and the skeptic in Wittgenstein’s Investigations to be neither dismissive, nor matter of fact. As Cavell notes, the ordinary language philosopher must take the skeptic seriously if she expects herself to be taken seriously and “In all cases [the] problem is to discover the specific plight of mind and circumstances within which a human being gives voice to [their] condition” (240). For this reason, Detloff and Pohlhaus approach the differences between Scarry, Woolf, and Wittgenstein not with the aim of proving one right over the other, but rather in order to find insight in the tension between them as a means to attend to and acknowledge others’ pain.

A vital aspect of the Fulbright program’s history is showing how the program influenced changes, especially in the development of academic fields. The field of research emphases in awards reveals how tensions between the US and Australia could surface in regard to what might be seen as changing national preoccupations. Australia at first struggled to attract humanities and social science scholars as it was not seen to be very attractive and Americans preferred Europe or countries in Asia. Fulbright awards were nevertheless valuable in developing fields that made Australia the focus of study, e.g. Australian literature.

Full textAbstract:
Leprosy became a visible problem among African slaves in Suriname in the 1750s, and seemed to threaten to return to Europe. This chapter argues that, driven by the needs and interest of Surinamese slave society and economy, Dutch colonial medicine framed the disease with negative connotations: originating among slaves in Africa, caused by unhealthy living conditions, and related to disreputable sexual morals - a danger to European dominance. The sufferers of the disease who threatened this dominance had a supposedly inferior racial and/or social status. By the end of the century, the solution was to compulsorily segregate and isolate them, and leave them to their fate. Leprosy management became an important aspect of slave labour management in the colony.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines whether Asian megachurches hold any theological and conceptual dissenting elements, historically shaped in Europe. The Yoido Full Gospel Church is used as a case study due to its mega size and the deep impact of its experience of church growth on wider global Christianity. Placing the life of the church and its founder David Yonggi Cho in their social context of Korea, the study identifies key motivations for the theological and practical processes and the outcome of church growth. Based on this assessment, it then probes whether the megachurch movement in Asia expresses any social and theological aspect of the dissenting movement. Even if there is no direct historical connection, there are important theological and social motivations that are found both in the megachurch movement and the dissenting traditions.

Full textAbstract:
Because of the specific requirements of the medical profession, it is imperative that doctors-to-be have a wide range of knowledge at their fingertips. In order to facilitate this, most medical programmes employ some kind of overall ready-knowledge test: a test that is not connected to one specific course, but contains questions on all the facts and figures from all the courses in the entire curriculum. The test is generally administered four times a year to all students participating in the program. First year students are required to answer the same questions as fourth year students. However, for first year students the thresh hold for passing the exam is at a lower level.The aim of this progress test is threefold: (1) testing if the knowledge of students is up to par; (2) making sure that students understand that being a medical professional means continuing to have all the knowledge readily available at all times; and (3) changing the way students prepare for a test: not a big cramming session for one test the night before the test happens and then forget about it, but continuously working on keeping knowledge at an acceptable level. This last goal has, however, not been achieved. While students appreciate the test because of the sense of progress it provides them, in a Dutch study into its effects, students widely report that also for this test, they still prepare in cramming sessions. The result is still that the retention level of the ready knowledge is not at the level it should be.Since studies have extensively shown that students enjoy studying in a gamified process more, that they more easily get into 'a flow', and that the retention rates of knowledge acquired during a flow are higher, we propose to attempt to change the way the student prepare for the test by gamifying the process. Gamifying the process neatly matches a feeling of progress that facilitates the control students feel over their studying process and over mastering the material. Rather than losing points for not having questions correct, a student gains levels/XP/avatar strength whenever he/she masters a specific topic, or nails a series of questions on different topics within a specific time frame (‘challenge’), etc. The game mechanics and the design of the gaming world will be two important aspects of this project. A third important aspect will be the distribution of knowledge in the game and the way topics are brought up again, practiced again, or combined with other topics. The algorithm that lie at the basis of that need to be smart, adaptive and non-repetitive. A final important aspect of this process concerns the question of how to make playing this game part of the social life of students (battles on Friday afternoon for instance, or leader boards in the hallway).As mentioned above: Research indicates that gamification has a positive effect on retention and on commitment. If we then also manage to embed the game in a social setting, it can be truly called a “stealing their beer time”-type of intervention: moments that they would normally chill out and have a beer with their peers have now turned into moments where they still chill out, maybe still have a beer, but also study.We would like to share our ideas and invite partners of other programs (not necessarily medical) to join in our quest to build an overall knowledge assessment game in a modular way.

Full textAbstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings: HUMANITY The Panel recommends recognition that research in this field should be geared towards the development of critical understandings of self and society in the modern world. Archaeological research into the modern past should be ambitious in seeking to contribute to understanding of the major social, economic and environmental developments through which the modern world came into being. Modern-world archaeology can add significantly to knowledge of Scotland’s historical relationships with the rest of the British Isles, Europe and the wider world. Archaeology offers a new perspective on what it has meant to be a modern person and a member of modern society, inhabiting a modern world. MATERIALITY The Panel recommends approaches to research which focus on the materiality of the recent past (i.e. the character of relationships between people and their material world). Archaeology’s contribution to understandings of the modern world lies in its ability to situate, humanise and contextualise broader historical developments. Archaeological research can provide new insights into the modern past by investigating historical trends not as abstract phenomena but as changes to real lives, affecting different localities in different ways. Archaeology can take a long-term perspective on major modern developments, researching their ‘prehistory’ (which often extends back into the Middle Ages) and their material legacy in the present. Archaeology can humanise and contextualise long-term processes and global connections by working outwards from individual life stories, developing biographies of individual artefacts and buildings and evidencing the reciprocity of people, things, places and landscapes. The modern person and modern social relationships were formed in and through material environments and, to understand modern humanity, it is crucial that we understand humanity’s material relationships in the modern world. PERSPECTIVE The Panel recommends the development, realisation and promotion of work which takes a critical perspective on the present from a deeper understanding of the recent past. Research into the modern past provides a critical perspective on the present, uncovering the origins of our current ways of life and of relating to each other and to the world around us. It is important that this relevance is acknowledged, understood, developed and mobilised to connect past, present and future. The material approach of archaeology can enhance understanding, challenge assumptions and develop new and alternative histories. Modern Scotland: Archaeology, the Modern past and the Modern present vi Archaeology can evidence varied experience of social, environmental and economic change in the past. It can consider questions of local distinctiveness and global homogeneity in complex and nuanced ways. It can reveal the hidden histories of those whose ways of life diverged from the historical mainstream. Archaeology can challenge simplistic, essentialist understandings of the recent Scottish past, providing insights into the historical character and interaction of Scottish, British and other identities and ideologies. COLLABORATION The Panel recommends the development of integrated and collaborative research practices. Perhaps above all other periods of the past, the modern past is a field of enquiry where there is great potential benefit in collaboration between different specialist sectors within archaeology, between different disciplines, between Scottish-based researchers and researchers elsewhere in the world and between professionals and the public. The Panel advocates the development of new ways of working involving integrated and collaborative investigation of the modern past. Extending beyond previous modes of inter-disciplinary practice, these new approaches should involve active engagement between different interests developing collaborative responses to common questions and problems. REFLECTION The Panel recommends that a reflexive approach is taken to the archaeology of the modern past, requiring research into the nature of academic, professional and public engagements with the modern past and the development of new reflexive modes of practice. Archaeology investigates the past but it does so from its position in the present. Research should develop a greater understanding of modern-period archaeology as a scholarly pursuit and social practice in the present. Research should provide insights into the ways in which the modern past is presented and represented in particular contexts. Work is required to better evidence popular understandings of and engagements with the modern past and to understand the politics of the recent past, particularly its material aspect. Research should seek to advance knowledge and understanding of the moral and ethical viewpoints held by professionals and members of the public in relation to the archaeology of the recent past. There is a need to critically review public engagement practices in modern-world archaeology and develop new modes of public-professional collaboration and to generate practices through which archaeology can make positive interventions in the world. And there is a need to embed processes of ethical reflection and beneficial action into archaeological practice relating to the modern past.
