Faullimmel, Matthieu. "L'adoption de la nouveauté par les consommateurs. Séquence et développement dans le cas de la Chine contemporaine." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL197.
Full textThe purpose of this research is to explain and understand the adoption of novelty by consumers as a dynamic phenomenon, from its initial stage as an individual action to the collective one and finally as a novelty market. Historical studies highlight the link between the development of novelty adoption and the one of intermediate social strata. Historical comparison allows to formulate hypothesis: different status dynamics and State regulation of status. A contextual matrix is built to define contexts explaining adoption. Inspired by threshold models, typical sequences of collective adoption can be defined. Several networks of young adopters who recently graduated are identified and tracked between 2010 and 2010 (through video-chat in depth individual interviews, informal message exchange and online research). The analysis highlights the existence of novelty chains, and the role of novelty passers. It allows to describe two typical sequences of the collective adoption of novelty and restore the significance of contexts in which adopters and passers match together. Adoption stories are analyzed in the context of career and conjugal life transitions. They illuminate the link between the adoption of market novelty and new intermediate social strata. The Chinese context of transition and reforms after 1978 appears as a typical locus for this double configuration

Full textThe aim of the dissertation is the process of rationalization in Max Weber, specifically social rationalization, not referring only to the institutionalization of the state and the company, but the institutionalization of the University as legitimate core of science. And in cultural terms do not restrict the differentiation and autonomy of the spheres, but the process by which science and its values extend beyond its institutional boundaries through scientific rationalization. Our object will then be the decision-making process that enables the discussion and critique of values, the formation of a modern consciousness, the sociological significance of the city and urban culture, the communicative record that we can glimpse in the unfinished work of the sociologist; therefore carefully analyze the Weberian decisionism and its historically determined forms that are accompanied in modernity by the ethics of responsibility.
O objetivo da dissertação de mestrado é o processo de racionalização em Max Weber, especificamente a racionalização social, não referente unicamente à institucionalização do Estado e da empresa, mas a institucionalização da Universidade como núcleo legítimo da ciência. E no plano cultural não nos restringiremos à diferenciação e autonomização das esferas, mas ao processo pelo qual a ciência e seus valores se estendem para além de seus limites institucionais através da racionalização científica. O nosso objeto será então o processo decisório que se viabiliza pela discussão e crítica dos valores, a formação de uma consciência moderna, a significação sociológica da cidade e da cultura urbana, no registro comunicativo que podemos vislumbrar na obra inacabada do sociólogo; portanto, analisaremos detidamente o decisionismo weberiano e suas formas historicamente determinadas, que se fazem acompanhar na modernidade pela ética da responsabilidade.

Full textDas Projekt, Webers Werke der EDV zugänglich zu machen, entstand zunächst aus dem Bedürfnis nach neuen Registern. Wir arbeiten in der Erziehungswissenschaft. Für diesen Bereich sind die bisher verfügbaren Register ganz unzulänglich. Dem ist nun abgeholfen. Künftig können Weber-Interessierte aller Disziplinen ihre eigenen Register erstellen.
Alle folgenden Texte können heruntergeladen und zur Schlagwort- und Zitatensuche, aber, versteht sich, auch zu anspruchsvolleren Inhaltsanalysen, sprachlichen Untersuchungen und anderen Vorhaben mithilfe spezieller Programme weiter bearbeitet werden.
Die Auswahl der hier aufgenommenen Werke hat keine systematischen Gründe. Wir wollten einen Anfang machen und haben uns auf diejenigen Texte beschränkt, die uns in alten Ausgaben zur Hand waren, weil die jüngeren Ausgaben urheberrechtlich geschützt sind. Wichtiges fehlt: die Börsenschriften, "Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft", die Konfuzianismusstudie, die Musiksoziologie, die Schriften zur Russischen Revolution und andere.

Full textIt is intended, by means of three essays, to analyze the rationalization of the religion and of the law in Max Weber. It will accentuate how the German thinker understood the "disenchantment" of the world as dismagification of the ways of salvation and as scientific transformation of the world in a "causal mechanism". Nevertheless, the two senses are not simultaneous, there is a unique historical turning to western modernity: the own religious ethos, especially by his Calvinist streak, at the enthroning the impersonality of the social relations and to promote the rationalization of the different spheres of action, stripped the world of his sacral mantle and profane it. On the other hand, will highlight the rise, thanks to the "disenchantment" of the world, the modern legal formalism in which the laws lose their magical aura. The laws are to be reviewable, although the technical-abstract content to become unknown to the layman. Finally, the weberian concepts will be read in light of recent interpretations about the religious, moral and legal modernity of Brazil. Between the lines, will appear the weberian "ethics", secular and self-assured.
Pretende-se, por meio de três ensaios, analisar a racionalização da religião e do direito em Max Weber. Acentuar-se-á como o pensador alemão compreendeu o desencantamento do mundo como desmagificação das vias de salvação e como transformação científica do mundo em um mecanismo causal . Entretanto, os dois significantes não são coetâneos, há uma inflexão história singular à modernidade ocidental: o próprio ethos religioso, sobretudo por seu filão calvinista, ao entronizar a impessoalidade das relações sociais e ao promover a racionalização das distintas esferas de ação, despiu o mundo de seu manto sacral, profanando-o. Por outro lado, destacar-se-á o advento, graças ao desencantamento do mundo, do formalismo jurídico moderno, no qual as leis perdem sua aura mágica. As leis passam a ser revisáveis, remodeláveis, embora o seu conteúdo técnico-abstrato passe a ser desconhecido dos leigos. Por fim, as conceituações weberianas serão lidas à luz das recentes interpretações sobre a modernidade religiosa, moral e jurídica do Brasil. Nas entrelinhas, aparecerá a ética weberiana, laica e segura de si.

Full textThis thesis investigates the remarkable renaissance of the ‘spirit of capitalism’ as a category of social scientific research. As apparent even in the title of their book, “The New Spirit of Capitalism”, Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello draw inspiration from Max Weber’s study in the sociology of religion “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism”. By comparing the concepts found in these two studies, the present work investigates this crucial linkage, shedding light on the complex relationships to Weber’s work, as well as the underlining of a ‘new’ spirit and thus a specific difference. Beyond the reconstruction and critical examination of the key concepts – spirit, ideology and capitalism – and of both theoretical models, I also discuss their background in terms of the history of science and from a theoretical perspective. Close study reveals that the ‘revival’ of the capitalist spirit in Boltanski and Chiapello’s model of transformation involves the renewal and reconfiguration of the Weberian toolkit within a modified theoretical framework. The authors’ points of contact with Weber include his sociology of power. The idea of a new spirit, meanwhile, arises from an intellectual perspective that moves away from Weber’s understanding of modernity as rationalization.

Full textThis study is a first stage of drafting a conceptual framework that aims to provide a sociological explanation for the phenomenon of knowledge. The starting point is the reconstruction of a possible explanation for knowledge grounded on Max Weber\'s Sociology. As a starting point, we assume that Weber\'s work indirectly explains the phenomenon of knowledge, since the theory of action and rationalization would raise inevitable epistemological problems. Nevertheless, these two theories would only address partial answers to two basic problems about knowledge, namely, what is knowledge? and how knowledge is developed? In order to answer completely such questions it would require a phenomenon that combines the theory of social action with the theory of rationalization. Our main hypothesis is that the process of intellectualization is the phenomenon would best combine both theories. Thus, the central part of this study refers to the reconstruction of the process of intellectualization and its prior solution to the knowledge. When all possibilities were exhausted, we used some works of Hermann Lotze and Gottlob Frege in order to assist the comprehension and solve some knowledge\'s underlying notions, such as meaning, sense, truth, interpretation, and intersubjectivity. In the conclusion, we attempt to attach a theory of language on the explanation of knowledge produced by the reconstruction of Weber\'s writings
Bauer, Caroline. "Travail et responsabilité selon Jean Calvin, une interprétation par le devoir de lieutenance." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015STRAB005/document.
Full textThe thesis analyzes the way Calvin justifies a commitment without limit in work, in search of prosperity, while paradoxically condemning the quest for personal enrichment and the pursuit of one’s own interests. The duty to work is based on a duty named lieutenancy. It means that every man or women is responsible for acting as God would have done in his or her place. Goods are given to lead to prosperity as a sign of divine providence in order to constitute a just and contented society. This entails the necessity of a limitless commitment to work, a search for individual performance and social responsibility. The human being is understood as fragile and depending on others, only being able to surmount his or her fragility through a covenantal relationship with God and people. In return for this commitment, he or she finds happiness. This interpretation differs from the Calvinist ethics described by Max Weber in The Protestant Ethic and the spirit of the capitalism. It leads to assigning a high value to economic exchanges, through which a fraternal society is constructed. Justice consists in implementing equity mutually and liberality in the exchanges

Full texts Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism was first published in the beginning of 20th century. The general claim was that their perspectives are completely different from each other. With the analysis of Protestant Ethic, they claim, Weber came up with a negative answer to Marx in terms of his analysis of the relationship between society and economy. However, in this study it is indicated that Weber&rsquo
s analyses were in close proximity with those of Marx&rsquo
s and these similarities can be seen in Weber&rsquo
s both early and late period works such as &ldquo
The Social Causes of the Decline of Ancient Civilization&rdquo
, Economy and Society and General Economic History. Weber&rsquo
s approach in this all corpus can be considered to be &ldquo
a quasi Marxist perspective&rdquo
. In these texts, he refers widely to Marx and elaborates the factors which he thought Marx had excluded from his analysis. Although he accused Marx of using a one-sided causal interpretation of history, Weber&rsquo
s approach in relation to Marx has close parallels with historical materialism

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Max Weber’s text, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904-5), also called “the Weber thesis”, has animated debates on the relationship between religion, particularly Calvinism, and capitalism for over a century. Many studies have been done to test the validity of the relationship between religion, particularly Protestantism, and capitalism in different parts of the world. However, the case of the relationship between Calvinism and capitalism in South Africa has received limited scholarly attention. In the view of the political economist Francis Fukuyama, ‘the failure of the Calvinist Afrikaners to develop a thriving capitalist system until the last quarter of the [19th] century’ is an anomaly that needs explanation. My doctoral thesis takes up this challenge and offers an understanding of the engagement of Boers/Afrikaner Calvinists with trade, later modern industrial capitalism, from 1652 to 1948. In order to understand the South African case study — Calvinism found roots at the Cape in 1652 and is significant still today — I have employed historical sociology as my methodology. My preference was guided by Weber’s use of a form of this methodology. This allows for nuanced understandings of Calvinism and forms of capitalism at different periods in its evolution. I have employed Weberian sociological theory, including his ideal type constructs such as the Protestant ethic, bureaucracy and the spirit of capitalism, to gain greater insight. In my analysis I have also relied on Weber’s Verstehen (interpretive) frameworks to offer more nuanced results. To add to the conceptual framework, I have used Weber’s metaphor of the “switchmen” in order to trace the impact of ideas. Of course, the focus is on Calvin’s ideas as they were reintroduced at different periods in South African Calvinist history: often to suit new socio-political conditions and material interests. I trace the values of the Protestant ethic and the attitudes expressing the spirit of capitalism, following Weber, through an investigation of bureaucratisation of business and government. I show the increased convergence of the Afrikaner Calvinist volk with the spirit of modern industrial capitalism in the early 20th century through the call by the elite among the Afrikaners acting as ideological “switchmen” through their ideas and wanting to alleviate poverty amongst the group. Finally, the thesis shows the validity of the Weber thesis and its use for the study of Afrikaner Calvinism, including in period that follows after 1948.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Max Weber se teks, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904-5), ook genoem “die Weber tesis”, het debatte oor die verhouding tussen religie, veral Calvinisme, en kapitalisme vir meer as ‘n eeu geanimeer. Daar is vele studies wat poog om die geldigheid van ‘n verband tussen religie, veral Protestantisme en kapitalisme in ander dele van die wêreld te beoordeel. Die verhouding tussen Calvinisme en kapitalisme in Suid Afrika het egter beperkte akademiese ondersoek gekry. Na die siening van die politieke ekonoom Francis Fukuyama is “die onvermoë van die Calvinistiese Afrikaners om ‘n welvarende kapitalistiese stelsel te ontwikkel tot voor die laaste kwart van die [19de] eeu” ‘n anomalie wat verduideliking benodig. My doktorale tesis neem die uitdaging aan en bied insig in die verband tussen Afrikaner Calvinisme en handel, later, moderne industriële kapitalisme, van 1652 tot 1948. Historiese sosiologie, gelei deur ‘n Weberiaanse benadering, is as metodologie toegepas om insig te kry in die Suid-Afrikaanse gevallestudie – Calvinisme vestig in die Kaap in 1652 en is tans nog betekenisvol. Dit het my in staat gestel om ‘n genuanseerde begrip van Calvinisme en die vorms van kapitalisme in verskillende tydperke in sy evolusie te ontwikkel. Weberiaanse sosiale teorie, insluitend sy ideale tipes konsepte, soos die Protestante etiek, burokrasie en die gees van kapitalisme is toegepas om beter insig te kry. In my analise het ek op Weber se Verstehen (interpretatiewe) raamwerke gesteun om meer genuanseerde resultate op te lewer. Weber se metafoor van die “switchmen” is aangewend om die nalatenskap van idees te volg. Die fokus is natuurlik veral op die wyse waarop Calvyn se idees herhaaldelik gebruik is gedurende verskillende tydperke in Suid-Afrikaanse Calvinistiese geskiedenis: soms om nuwe sosio-politieke kondisies en materiële belange te bevredig. Ek het die waardes van die Protestante etiek en houdings wat, volgens Weber, die gees van kapitalisme uitdruk, in die burokratisering van besigheid en regering ondersoek. Ek het toenemende konvergensie tussen die Afrikaner Calvinistiese volk en die gees van moderne industriële kapitalisme in die vroeë 20e eeu, gevoed deur die oproep van die elite onder die Afrikaners wat waarneem as ideologiese “switchmen” deur hulle idees in die poging om armoede onder die groep te verlig, uitgelig. Laastens, die tesis bewys die geldigheid van die Weber tesis en sy toepassing in die studie van Afrikaner Calvinisme, insluitend die tydperk wat volg na 1948.

Full textThis master consists in identifying which the dogmatic religious contents would work as good as a factor of psychological incentive to the moral, economic and political activism, in order to understand the possible influences of those contemporary reformed protestant ethos in relation to the work. Leaving from the analysis by Max Weber in the work "The Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of the Capitalism" that identified that psychological incentive factor to the doctrine of the predestination, the author tries to presents what the Protestant reforming understands about that doctrine. Try to establish a new relationship [doctrine versus work] through the theory of social representations application, according to the model developed by Serge Moscovici, treading opposite road to Weber, in order words, the expression of learned principles to connect them to the dogmatic content. To know the way contemporary reformed protestant express his inner principles a research have been taken in one of the Brazils Presbyterian church communities, located at the east of the city of Sao Paulo. Leaving of the research, it is showed: a) importance of the religious content amid the modern society. b) Which are the possible influences that it exercises on the Protestant ethos. c) Recognize that influence in creating work concepts and the individual s relationship with himself. d) If there is some contribution that interests to modern private organizations positively.
Este trabalho consiste em identificar que conteúdo dogmático religioso serve como fator de estímulo psicológico para o ativismo moral, econômico e político, a fim de compreender suas possíveis influências sobre o Ethos Protestante Reformado contemporâneo em relação ao trabalho. Partindo da análise feita por Max Weber na obra "A Ética Protestante e o Espírito do Capitalismo" que identificou esse fator de estímulo psicológico à doutrina da predestinação, o autor apresenta o que o protestante reformando entende sobre essa doutrina. Busca estabelecer nova relação [doutrina versus trabalho] por meio da aplicação da teoria das representações sociais, conforme o modelo desenvolvido por Serge Moscovici, trilhando o caminho oposto ao de Weber, ou seja, da exteriorização dos princípios apreendidos para ligá-los ao conteúdo dogmático. Para conhecer a maneira como o protestante reformado contemporâneo exterioriza os princípios por ele internalizado, levou-se á efeito uma pesquisa de campo numa das comunidades da igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil, localizada na região leste da cidade de São Paulo. A partir dela, demonstra-se: a) a importância do conteúdo religioso em meio à sociedade moderna; b) quais são as possíveis influências que exerce sobre o ethos protestante; c) como reconhecer essa influência na formação do conceito do trabalho e na relação do indivíduo com o mesmo; d) se há alguma contribuição que interesse às organizações privadas modernas.

Full text¿Es posible fundar regímenes políticos perdurables y duraderos en las condiciones políticas de la modernidad, donde las fuentes tradicionales de legitimidad han desaparecido o se han vuelto ineficaces? ¿Sobre qué cimientos es posible asentar la fundación de un régimen político? ¿Cómo dar respuesta al problema de la fuente de la ley y del origen del poder en condiciones en las que el fundamento de la sociedad política no puede ya anclarse ni en la naturaleza ni en la trascendencia? Puestos en tensión los modos en que los seres humanos organizaron su vida en común a lo largo de la historia, el paso del siglo XIX al XX trajo consigo un cambio decisivo en el modo de comprender el concepto de política impulsado por el pensamiento moderno, a raíz de la ruptura definitiva con la tradición occidental aristotélica, hasta ese momento, hegemónica. De esta manera, una vez roto el vínculo con la trascendencia, deviene ya imposible encontrar un principio absoluto que abone la legitimidad de la ley y del poder y que se constituya en fundamento del orden político. Mediante la obra de Max Weber, Carl Schmitt y Hannah Arendt, tres pensadores que con rigor cierto intentaron dar respuesta al problema origen del poder y la fundación del orden político, nos aproximaremos al fenómeno de lo moderno atendiendo a la desacralización del pasado y su consiguiente dilema: cuál es, de haberlo, su fuente última de sentido y valor.

Full textSocial work is what one could call a relatively young phenomenon and an organized work against social problems in Sweden is not much older than a century. That being said, one can understand that the nature of social work is under constant change, and hopefully improvement. However, in recent decades social work has been characterized by a new trend of change. A privatization trend. As a newly graduated social worker today, the alternatives to employers are more than they were 30 years ago and the alternatives differ. The purpose of this thesis is thus to investigate how the soon-to-be-graduated social worker perceives the different alternatives, as a possible employer, but also generally. The study is designed according to a qualitative method with an inductive approach and is based on four different interviews with four social work bachelors. As a theoretical framework, Max Weber's theory of bureaucracy in ideal-typical terms lies as the basis for the work, as well as the theory of scope for action. Thanks to the use of thematic text analysis, some similarities and themes could be distinguished from the informants' statements, and the result was to depict, in many ways, a homogeneous perception of deficiencies and risks with different employers. All informants talk about a bureaucracy that risks growing too large to function effectively, and in a fair way. Towards both clients and employees within the organization. Weber spoke in pessimistic terms about how the future would belong to the bureaucracy, a view that he shares with all the informants. The perception is that an organization that grows too large will have to work in an extremely rational way bureaucratically. The conclusion is that a rational bureaucracy is not compatible with a fair social work towards the client or, again, the employee.

À la suite d’un examen approfondi, qui nous mènera à revisiter les traditions classique (Weber et Durkheim) et moderne (Parsons) de la sociologie, il sera possible de mettre en évidence les implications qui s’ensuivent pour les concepts de société, de rationalité et de normativité. Plutôt que de prendre parti pour l’une des théories en question, nous décèlerons leur signification philosophique en exposant la manière dont elles abordent le phénomène de la complexité. Nous discutons enfin de la place qu’occupe l’humanisme au sein de la théorie sociale contemporaine.
This M.A. thesis compares the social theories of Niklas Luhmann and Jürgen Habermas. Its main goal is to cast light upon the problems that philosophical thinking encounters in its attempt to understand modern society. The Luhmann-Habermas debate is presented from a comparative perspective, which will then lead into key problems of both classical (Weber and Durkheim) and modern (Parsons) traditions of sociology. It is our contention that this debate reveals two alternative standpoints from which the concepts of society, rationality, and normativity can be conceived. Instead of endorsing one theory or the other, this thesis would rather display their philosophical significance by addressing the manner in which they deal with complexity. Finally, the place of humanism within contemporary social theory is examined.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In 1992, warring factions in Mozambique put an end to 15 years of violence and instability. By signing the General Peace Accord in Rome, the civil war was officially over, and postconflict reconstruction could begin. The post-conflict state has been struggling with high poverty, weak infrastructure and the burden of returning refugees as well as internally displaced people (IDP’s) in the aftermath of the war. Moreover, in recent years, increasing domestic activity on the part of transnational criminal syndicates has become a major national and regional security dilemma. In this study, Mozambique, as a post-conflict state has been examined to identify the most important factors that lead to the increase and continuation in transnational crime in terms of human trafficking. Using prevailing state theories and post-conflict theories within the field of Political Science and analyzing Mozambique from the conceptual theoretical lenses of Max Weber, Charles Tilly, Shmuel N. Eistenstadt, and several other scholars, it is argued that there are numerous elements present within the state that have led to an increase in crime. These are first and foremost the (neo) patrimonial features of the state, corrupt state-officials, the state’s pluralist legal-system and a general lack of public trust in the legitimacy of the government. Incomplete post-conflict reconstruction efforts, resulting in lack of public goods, such as health-care, schooling and jobs along with a culture of exploitation and objectification of women and deep-rooted gender-inequality in Mozambique is argued to provide criminal syndicates with an opportunity to capitalize on organized crimes such as trafficking of humans. In recent years, positive developments manifest themselves through the international recognition of human trafficking and domestic ratifications of international laws and protocols to combat human trafficking. While Mozambique has ratified “The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children” this study reveals state factors that make the elimination of the crime of human trafficking in Mozambique difficult. The findings of the study are symbolic of a globalized problem. Combating transnational crime does not depend solely on international, regional and domestic cooperation through laws and regulations; it also necessitates increased national efforts in dealing with the root-causes of trafficking and to increase the political and public awareness in the country towards this human rights violation.

Met die ondertekening van die Algemene Vredesverdrag in Rome, is die burgeroorlog amptelik beëindig en post-konflik rekonstruksie kon begin. Die post-konflik staat het gesukkel met hoë armoede, swak infrastruktuur en die las van terugkerende vlugtelinge en interne verplaasde persone in die nadraai van die oorlog. Daarbenewens het toenemende plaaslike aktiwiteite van transnasionale kriminele sindikate in die afgelope jare 'n groot nasionale en streeks-sekuriteitsdilemma geword. In hierdie studie is Mosambiek as 'n post-konflik staat geanaliseer om die mees belangrike faktore wat tot die toename in transnasionale misdaad (in terme van mensehandel) gelei het, te identifiseer. Deur gebruik te maak van bestaande staatsteorieë en post-konflik teorieë in die veld van Politieke Wetenskap en deur Mosambiek te analiseer uit die teoretiese blik van Max Weber, Charles Tilly, Shmuel N. Eistenstadt, en andere, word daar geargumenteer dat daar verskeie elemente binne die staat is wat tot dié toename in misdaad gelei het. Allereers is die neo(patrimoniale) kenmerke van die staat, korrupte staatsamptenare, die pluralistiese regstelsel en algemene gebrek aan publieke vertroue in die regering. Daar word geargumenteer dat onvolledige post-konflik rekonstruksie, wat 'n tekort aan publieke goedere soos gesondheidsorg, opvoeding en werk tot gevolg het, tesame met 'n kultuur van die seksualisering van vroue en diep-gewortelde geslagsongelykheid in die staat, vir kriminele sindikate geleenthede vir organiseerde misdaad soos mensehandel bied. In die afgelope jare het positiewe ontwikkelinge gemanifisteer deur die internationale erkenning van mensehandel en die plaaslike bekragtigings van internationale wette en protokols om mensehandel te bestry. Alhoewel Mosambiek "The Protocol to Prevent, Supress and Punish Traffickin in Persons, especially Women and Children" bekragtig het, toon die studie dat sekere staatsfaktore die uitwissing van mensehandel in Mosambiek moeilik maak. Die bevindinge van die studie is simbolies van 'n globaliseerde probleem; die bestryding van transnasionale misdaad berus nie net op internasionale, streek en plaaslike samewerking deur wette en regulasies nie, maar dit noodsaak ook verhoogde nasionale inspanning om die grondoorsake van mensehandel te hanteer en om politieke en publieke bewustheid omtrent dié menseregteskending in die land te verhoog.

Full textThis dissertation represents a historical reconstruction of the development and transformation of German experimental psychology between the emergence of the first experimental laboratory in 1879 and its Gleichschaltung by the Nazi regime in the 1930s. It traces the evolution of the conceptual as well as the experimental framework of psychology over the course of these years following three generations of experimental research. Hereby, the work attempts to grasp how early experimental psychology negotiated its place between the humanities and the natural sciences. The project’s major focus lies in the period between 1922 and 1936, in which Kurt Lewin’s Berlin Experimental Program on Action and Emotions took place. The work specifically investigates the process of constitution of Lewin’s field theory, a system of concepts coined by Lewin in order to study psychological processes underlying human conduct. The dissertation shows how Lewin’s concepts emerged out of interdisciplinary sources, and how experimental practices in psychology triggered the emergence of new knowledge. Eventually, it is shown how the investigated historical case of Gestalt psychology in Berlin fits into and plays a decisive role in the long-term development of experimental psychology.

Full textBased on recent studies acknowledging the importance of Catholic elites in the changes leading to the modernization of Quebec society between 1930 and 1970, this master thesis try to provide a better understanding of these elites, their motives and their destiny. Stemming from the young generations of lay protesters of the 1930’s and 1940’s, the lay Catholic elites were influenced by philosophical tendencies within the Christian renewal and their formation in the “Action catholique”. Questioning the clericalism and the social and political conservatism prevalent in Quebec between 1930 and 1960, they put forward a reformist thought tuned with the “spirit” of the Vatican II council and of the Quiet Revolution. One characteristic of these elite: even if they were critical of the Catholic Church, they retained a loyalty towards the Catholicism. I propose to “reappropriate” the sociology of Max Weber in order to better understand the involvement of lay Catholic elites to the modernization of Quebec society and, thus, grasp the particular kind of secularization that take place between 1950 and 1970 in Quebec. In order to do so, I study the life trajectories and discourses of three actors from these elites: Guy Rocher, Jacques Grand’Maison and Claude Ryan. With these actors in mind, I describe three distinct “ways” taken by the lay Catholic elites to get involved in their society. Those three “ways” certainly relate three different types of involvement, but they also refer to a common Catholic feeling of belonging. Considering the point of view of these elites together with the transformations of Quebec’s religious landscape, I can question the use of the concepts of secularization, laicization, and deconfessionalization and, thus, describe the way religious issues are dealt with.

Full textIn this sociology of law thesis, we study the influence of State generated law on legal actors. Our general hypothesis is that the State's legal intermediaries significantly contribute to shape legal actors' "relationship to law". This implies that they would have an impact on the construction of the law's influential relationship with these social actors and, therefore, an undeniable effect on law's "empirical legitimacy". Through their professional practice legal intermediaries should have a noticeable- yet non exclusive impact on the concrete forms of legal actors' "relationship to law". In studying this phenomena, we make an empirical comparison between the links which exist between legal actors' different "relationships to law" and a Law characterized by a very different legal rationality whether it be "carried" by a lawyer or mediator. These two groups of professionals are the legal intermediaries at the center of our study, which is neither general nor global, but specific to divorce cases, geographically located in Montreal, and historically situated in the early 1990's. This period is interesting to conduct a study on the impact of the law on legal actors since it constitutes a unique moment in the history of Montreal. That is when the professional practices of lawyers and mediators were the furthest apart, which sets the table for comparative work which should prove enlightening. In the early 1990's, after operating for close to ten years, Montreal’s Service de médiation à la famille had succeeded in establishing a solid professional practice. Furthermore, lawyers' professional practice in relation to divorce cases was already "modern", but remained relatively uninfluenced by family mediation. Since the "relationship to law" of those who have consulted these legal intermediaries in relation to their divorce proceedings is at the heart of our study, we interviewed said individuals. The analysis of these interviews will allow us to understand our subjects' "relationship to law". Our research is based upon the scientific perspective of Max Weber's sociology. Such an ambitious project demanded that we not confine ourselves to popular concepts. Therefore, an important part of this thesis is dedicated to presenting a substantial part of weberian sociology. This served as the foundation on which we built our investigative strategy and our ideal-typical analytical instruments. Not only is there no general systems theory made up of laws aimed at explaining social relationships in weberian sociology, but there is no prefabricated "ready-to-wear" analytical framework model which could be applied in order to perform empirical studies, whether it be in law or any other area of human activity. However, weberian sociology gives us many conceptual references which allow us to organize empirical research without limiting the number of subjects or the investigator’s imagination if the researcher wishes to understand social action through its interpretation, the re by, explaining its causality through its development and its effects. Such is the knowledge project which Weber calls "sociology". He doesn't view this knowledge project in a general and global manner, but rather as being particular to each field of work, place, period, spheres of values, etc. In this thesis, we propose an analytical framework which can help identify and further study many questions relating to Law and its influence, without limiting it to a system of rules as in positive law. This analytical framework aims at presenting law as a kind of social relationship which can be sociologically understood if you consider the legal representations put forth by the different categories of social actors. That is the first, but not the only, condition that must be met in order to comply with the demands of empirical knowledge of law since "empirical law" cannot be found in positive law rules. It can be found where it is "carried" by human beings, particularly those with greater social influence. We hope that this study, which is influenced by Max Weber's immense contribution to the field of sociology, adds to the sociological comprehension of one aspect of the contemporary State's "empirical law".
