Abstract:
Cette recherche vise à expliquer et comprendre le déroulement de l'adoption de la nouveauté par les consommateurs, de l'action de quelques-uns à l'adoption collective, voire l'institutionnalisation d'un marché de la nouveauté. Les historiens établissent un lien fort entre le développement de l'adoption de la nouveauté et celui de nouvelles strates intermédiaires. La Chine des années 2010 offre un cas d'étude idéal. La comparaison historique permet de formuler l'hypothèse de dynamiques statutaires différentes en Europe et en Chine, et d'une régulation différente des statuts. Une matrice contextuelle expliquant l'adoption est construite et appliquée aux modèles de seuils pour définir des séquences typiques conduisant à l'adoption collective de la nouveauté. Plusieurs réseaux de jeunes adoptants de nouvelles technologies diplômés du supérieur sont suivis entre 2010 et 2015 au moyen d'entretiens individuels approfondis (video-chat, échanges informels et recoupement de sources digitales). L'analyse montre l'existence de chaînes d'adoption, et met en lumière le rôle de relayeurs de la nouveauté. Elle permet de décrire deux séquences typiques de passage à l'adoption collective en restituant la significativité des contextes dans lesquels adoptant et relayeur s'apparient. Les récits d'adoption sont resitués dans le contexte de l'évolutions des carrières professionnelles et conjugales. Ils permettent de comprendre le lien entre adoption et nouvelles strates intermédiaires. Ces dernières sont porteuses de différentes visions de la nouveauté marchande et de la modernisation. Le contexte de réformes et de transition chinois d'après 1978 apparaît comme un lieu favorable à cette double configuration
The 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

The 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.

It 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 text
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der bemerkenswerten Renaissance des ›Geistes des Kapitalismus‹ als Kategorie sozialwissenschaftlicher Untersuchung. In ihrem Buch »Der neue Geist des Kapitalismus« greifen Luc Boltanski und Ève Chiapello bereits im Titel auf Max Webers religionssoziologische Schrift »Die Protestantischen Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus« zurück. Dieser zentralen Bezugnahme geht die vorliegende Arbeit mit Hilfe eines Konzeptionsvergleiches nach. Auf diese Weise werden die komplexen Beziehungen zu Weber, wie auch die Akzentuierung eines ›neuen‹ Geistes und damit einer spezifischen Differenz sichtbar. Über eine Rekonstruktion und kritische Betrachtung der zentralen Schlüsselbegriffe – Geist, Ideologie und Kapitalismus – und der beiden Theoriemodelle, werden wissenschaftsgeschichtliche und theoretische Hintergründe diskutiert. In der näheren Untersuchung zeigt sich, dass sich die ›Wiederbelebung‹ des kapitalistischen Geistes innerhalb von Boltanskis und Chiapellos Transformationsmodell als eine Erneuerung und Rekombination des Weberschen Instrumentariums in ein verändertes theoretisches Verständnis beschreiben lässt. Anknüpfungspunkte sind für die Autoren dabei auch seine herrschaftssoziologischen Überlegungen. Die These von einem neuen Geist ergibt sich hingegen aus einer Perspektive, die ideengeschichtlich Abstand nimmt von Webers Verständnis der Moderne als Rationalisierung.
This 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.

Abstract:
Este trabalho é uma primeira etapa da elaboração de um conjunto conceitual que tem por objetivo fornecer uma explicação sociológica para o fenômeno do conhecimento. O ponto de partida é a reconstrução de uma possível explicação presente na sociologia de Max Weber para o fenômeno em questão. Parto da suposição que os trabalhos de Weber indiretamente explicariam-no, dado que a teoria da ação e da racionalização suscitariam inevitáveis problemas epistemológicos. Não obstante, essas duas teorias endereçariam respostas parciais aos dois problemas básicos sobre o conhecimento, a saber, o que é o conhecimento? e como o conhecimento é desenvolvido? Para respondê-las integralmente, seria necessário encontrar um fenômeno que conjugasse a teoria da ação social com a teoria da racionalização. Minha principal hipótese é que este seria o no processo de intelectualização. Com isso, a parte central deste trabalho refere- se à reconstrução do processo de intelectualização e sua solução prévia para o conhecimento. Ao esgotar todas as possibilidades de explicação, utilizo os trabalhos de Hermann Lotze e Gottlob Frege como auxiliares na compreensão e resolução de noções subjacentes ao problema do conhecimento, como as noções de sentido, significado, verdade, interpretação e intersubjetividade. Ao final, chego a uma conclusão que tenta acoplar uma teoria da linguagem sobre a explicação do conhecimento produzida pela reconstrução dos trabalhos de Weber
This 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

Full text
Abstract:
La thèse analyse la façon dont Calvin justifie un engagement sans limite dans le travail, en faveur de la recherche de prospérité, alors que paradoxalement il condamne la quête d’enrichissement personnel et la poursuite de ses propres intérêts. Le devoir de travailler repose sur un devoir dit de lieutenance (lieu-tenance), qui signifie que tout homme est responsable d’agir tel que Dieu l’aurait fait à sa place. Il en découle la nécessité d’un engagement sans limite dans le travail, un devoir de performance individuelle et une responsabilité sociale. L’humain est compris comme fragile et dépendant des autres, ne pouvant surmonter sa fragilité qu’en s’engageant dans une relation d’alliance avec Dieu et avec les hommes. En contrepartie de son engagement, il trouve le bonheur. Cette interprétation diffère de l’éthique calviniste décrite par Max Weber dans l’Ethique Protestante et l’esprit du capitalisme. Elle accorde une grande valeur aux échanges économiques, à travers lesquels se construit la société. La justice consiste en la mise en œuvre conjointe de l’équité et de la libéralité dans les échanges
The 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

Abstract:
Max Weber and Karl Marx have been compared in various ways, especially since Weber&rsquo
s 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

ENGLISH 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.

This 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 Brazil’s 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.

Abstract:
This paper explores the curriculum of the Swedish social science course Samhällskunskap 1 b. This is done by analyzing the curriculum in question combined with semi-structural interviews of five teachers, exploring their experiences in teaching the course. The paper applies theories associated with street-level bureaucracy, originally from Michael Lipsky. The premise of the study is that teachers are bureaucrats who must follow a specific curriculum. The study concludes that the theories of street-level bureaucrats are applicable to the situation of social science teachers in their relation to the curriculum. The study also concludes that the interviewed teachers all interpret the curriculum in slightly different manners. This could in turn be seen as a possibility for the individual teacher to adapt the course to suit a range of students, as well as something that potentially threatens the fundamental reasons of a curriculum.

Memoria para optar al grado de Licenciado en Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales
¿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.

Abstract:
Cette thèse vise à cerner les raisons historiques, intellectuelles et affectives de l’importance que reçoit le problème de la vulnérabilité individuelle dans la culture politique des sociétés modernes. Il s’agit de tenter de comprendre pourquoi et par le concours de quelles transformations normatives et structurelles nous en sommes venus, comme citoyens, à attendre de l’État qu’il nous protège des affres de l’existence. L’oeuvre philosophique de Thomas Hobbes, fondée sur une anthropologie individualiste où l’homme apparaît mû par deux affects, le désir et la crainte, nous paraît être la première formulation théorique de ce problème de la vulnérabilité, et à ce titre, nous posons qu’elle a été déterminante pour l’institutionnalisation d’une rationalité politique proprement moderne. De manière à saisir quelles ont pu être les conditions de possibilité de la philosophie de Hobbes, de même que son influence sur l’imaginaire politique occidental, il nous faut tenter de comprendre non seulement pourquoi l’affectivité humaine a pu se trouver ainsi posée comme enjeu du gouvernement, mais comment elle est aussi liée, de manière générale, au fonctionnement des institutions sociales, lequel est historiquement contingent. Il en va ainsi d’une interrogation, que nous poursuivrons dans un relevé des principaux concepts à l’aide desquels Sigmund Freud, Norbert Elias, Max Weber et Michel Foucault ont pensé les modalités du façonnement social et historique de la subjectivité, et par le biais de laquelle nous espérons expliquer pourquoi le « type d’homme » sur lequel s’appuie le régime libéral moderne implique le vécu d’une expérience affective marquée par un rapport tendu entre le désir et le sentiment de la vulnérabilité.

Abstract:
Socialt arbete är vad man skulle kunna kalla ett relativt ungt fenomen och ett organiserat arbete mot sociala problem är i Sverige inte mycket äldre än 100 år gammalt. Med det sagt kan man förstå att det sociala arbetets karaktär är under ständig förändring, och förhoppningsvis förbättring. De senaste decennierna har dock socialt arbete präglats av en ny förändringstrend. En privatiseringstrend. Som nyexaminerad socionom är valen av arbetsgivare fler än vad de var för 30 år sedan och alternativen skiljer sig åt. Syftet med denna uppsats är således att undersöka hur den snart nyexaminerade socionomen uppfattar de olika alternativen, som en eventuell arbetsgivare men också rent generellt. Studien är utformat efter kvalitativ metod med ett induktivt förhållningssätt och bygger på fyra olika intervjuer med fyra stycken snart färdigutbildade socionomer. Som teoretiskt ramverk ligger Max Webers teori om byråkrati i idealtypiska termer som grund för arbetet, samt teorin om handlingsutrymme. Tack vare användandet av tematisk textanalys kunde vissa likheter och teman urskiljas ur informanternas utsagor och resultatet kom att skildra en på många sätt homogen uppfattning av brister och risker med olika arbetsgivare. Samtliga informanter talar om en byråkrati som riskerar växa sig för stor för att fungera effektivt, och på ett rättvist sätt. Mot såväl klienter som anställda inom organisationen. Weber talade i pessimistiska termer om hur framtiden skulle komma att tillhöra byråkratin, en uppfattning som han delar med samtliga informanter. Uppfattningen är att en organisation som växer sig för stor, kommer att behöva arbeta på ett ytterst rationellt sätt rent byråkratiskt. Slutsatsen är att en rationell byråkrati inte är förenligt med ett rättvist socialt arbete gentemot klienten eller, återigen, den anställde.
Social 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.

Abstract:
Nous présentons d'abord les travaux de la "Nouvelle sociologie économique" et décrivons la riche théorie de l'action que permet une approche en terme d'encastrement. Dans cette optique, le marché en tant que réalité identifiable disparaît pour être remplacé par des échanges marchands variés, socialement et localement construits. Nous montrons ensuite que la "Nouvelle sociologie économique" gagnerait à mieux considérer le poids des contraintes économiques liées à la participation à l'ordre marchand. Pour démontrer cette insuffisance, nous nous appuyons sur une enquête de terrain portant sur les deux organisations françaises majeures du commerce équitable, Artisans du Monde (importation, boutiques et promotion) et Max Havelaar (labellisation et promotion). Nous décrivons la façon dont les promoteurs du commerce équitable pensent, construisent et mettent en scène leur commerce « pas comme les autres ». Puis, nous montrons comment ces agents perçoivent et répondent aux obligations économiques liées à leur participation au système capitaliste. La construction d'une filière intégrée en remplacement des importations directes des boutiques, puis la création d'une filière labellisée afin d'augmenter encore les débouchés, se font au prix de renoncements douloureux. La prédiction webérienne de l'impersonnalisation et de la difficile rationalisation matérielle des activités économiques, dès lors qu'elles participent au capitalisme, se vérifie sur ce marché particulier

Abstract:
Due to the presumed associations of dopamine (DA) receptor supersensitivity phenomena in both long-term neuroleptic-treated tardive dyskinetic rats and neonatal 6-hydroxydopamine (n6-OHDA)-lesioned rats, we studied the influence of haloperidol on n6-OHDA-lesioned rats. At 3 days after birth rats received 6-OHDA-HBr (200 $\mu$g, bilateral intracerebroventricularly; desipramine pretreatment, 20 mg/kg, 1h) or vehicle. Two months later haloperidol (1.5/kg/day $\times$ 2 days/week for 4 weeks, then 1.5 mg/kg/day, every day for 10 months) was added to the drinking water. Spontaneous oral activity of intact and n6-OHDA-lesioned rats receiving haloperidol was reached and maintained at significantly higher levels after 15 weeks of haloperidol treatment. Haloperidol treatment produced greater oral activity in n6-OHDA-lesioned rats as compared to intact rats. At 11 months there were 35.8 $\pm$ 4.9 vs. 18.4 $\pm$ 2.1 oral movements in lesioned vs. intact rats receiving haloperidol. This high level of spontaneous oral activity was not attenuated by scopolamine and persisted in the lesioned rats for at least 8 months after haloperidol withdrawal. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of alternatively-spliced isoforms of DA D$\sb2$ (D$\sb{\rm 2S}$ and D$\sb{\rm 2L}$) receptors showed that D$\sb{\rm 2L}$ receptor mRNA levels of intact and n6-OHDA-lesioned rats receiving haloperidol were significantly elevated after 11 months of treatment and returned to normal level 8 months after haloperidol withdrawal. Similarly, the B$\sb{\rm max}$ for $\rm\lbrack\sp3 H\rbrack$raclopride binding to striatal homogenates was significantly increased in intact and nG-OHDA lesioned rats receiving chronic haloperidol. The B$\sb{\rm max}$ was at the control level after 8 months of haloperidol cessation. D$\sb{\rm 2L}$ and 5-HT$\sb{\rm 2C}$ receptor mRNA levels were not altered by chronic haloperidol treatment. The effects of assorted receptor-specific drugs on oral activity were tested in our rats to study possible mechanisms underlying the regulation of oral activity. The findings of this study demonstrate that alterations at mRNA and receptor levels of DA D$\sb2$ receptors are not critical for maintaining persisting enhanced oral dyskinesias after long-term haloperidol treatment. The long-lasting stable high frequency of oral dyskinesias after haloperidol withdrawal in these rats provides a means for testing agents that have the potential to attenuate dyskinetic oral activity.

Ce travail de maîtrise a pour but de confronter les théories sociales de Niklas Luhmann et de Jürgen Habermas, afin d’éclairer les défis que le monde contemporain pose à la pensée philosophique. 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.

ENGLISH 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.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In 1992 het strydende groepe in Mosambiek 'n einde gemaak aan 15 jaar van geweld en onstabiliteit. 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.

El tema de nuestra tesis trata sobre las metodologías de evaluación universitaria en la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo relacionadas con el género y origen social de los/as alumnos/as. En el contexto del Sistema Educativo del Nivel Superior. La educación puede ser entendida como un derecho que todos los sujetos tienen como parte de los derechos sociales y humanos básicos. Ya que la misma, en un sentido amplio constituye un hecho primordial para el desarrollo personal, en cuanto promueve y permite que el ser humano alcance la riqueza cognitiva, efectiva, social y espiritual propia de su naturaleza. Desde esta perspectiva la educación cumple un papel decisivo en la formación integral del ser humano como persona y ser social. Con respecto a la evaluación, dentro del Sistema Educativo, podríamos afirmar que es habitual que tanto los estudios de educación como cualquier persona común piensen que el examen es un elemento inherente a toda acción educativa. Es natural pensar que después de una clase los estudiantes deben ser examinados para valorar si adquirieron el conocimiento expuesto. Pero esta afirmación no es tan así, existen evidencias de que entes de la Edad Media no existía un sistema de exámenes ligado a la práctica educativa. Además, la asignación de notas (calificaciones) al trabajo escolar es una herencia del siglo XIX a la pedagogía. Herencia que produjo una infinidad de problemas. Los cuales, hoy padecemos.

Full text
Abstract:
Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale’s militant and masculinist discourses were embraced by Punjabi Sikhs because of his presence as a charismatic authority, a concept first developed by sociologist Max Weber to understand the conditions surrounding and personal qualities of a figure which attracts followers. The rebellion he led in Punjab resulted from his radical exploitation of issues concerning the Sikh community. Religion was wielded as a tool, legitimizing Sikh violence as commanded by the Gurus. Radical interpretations of Sikh scripture and folklore were initially preached to rural, less educated crowds. While his sermons brought out their frustrations with the government, his charisma allowed him to manipulate young men, his largest demographic of supporters, into embracing violence. This study analyzes Bhindranwale from the perspective of the people that supported him. By identifying multiple social factors through which to understand Bhindranwale’s reign, this study exhibits his importance in understanding Sikhism in Modern India.

Abstract:
Die vorliegende wissenschaftliche Arbeit rekonstruiert die Entwicklung der deutschen Psychologie zwischen der Eröffnung des ersten psychologischen Labors in 1879 und der Gleichschaltung durch das Nazi-Regime in den 1930er Jahren. Die Dissertation stellt den konzeptuellen und methodologischen Rahmen der psychologischen Disziplin anhand von drei Generationen von Pionierforschung dar. Hierbei wird herausgearbeitet, wie sich die frühe experimentelle Psychologie einen eigenen Platz zwischen den Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften kreiert. Die gestaltpsychologische Schule spielt darin eine entscheidende Rolle. Der zentrale Fokus der Arbeit liegt in der historischen Periode zwischen 1922 und 1936, über welche sich Kurt Lewins Untersuchungen zur Handlungs- und Affektpsychologie erstrecken. In dieser deutschen Schaffensperiode wurden der theoretische und methodologische Rahmen, sowie praktische experimentelle Designs erschaffen, welche die amerikanische Arbeit Lewins entscheidend prägten. Der Aufbau von Lewins berühmter Feldtheorie wird im Detail rekonstruiert. Die Dissertation zeigt auf, wie Lewin originelle psychologische Konzepte aus interdisziplinärer Erfahrung formte, und wie experimentelle Praktiken der Zeit die Entstehung eines immer komplexer werdenden Konzeptgerüstes herbeiführten. Anschließend wird die Bedeutung des Gestalt-Lewin-Falles für die Psychologiegeschichte erörtert. In die langfristige Wissenschaftsgeschichte ist Lewins Arbeit nicht etwa als gebündeltes Forschungsgebiet eingegangen. Stattdessen ist sie in so unterschiedliche Bereiche wie Entwicklungs- und Persönlichkeitspsychologie, Soziologie und Wirtschaftsmanagement eingeflossen und hat diese geprägt.
This 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.

Abstract:
Political theorists have long noted the “liberal” dimensions of Max Weber's theory of politics. In doing so, I believe they overlook the anti-political overtures in his push for national glory, his mechanical design of parliamentarism, and his desperate faith in plebiscitarian leaders—all of which constrain the prospect of human struggle underlying his idea of politics. Political theorists who address Weber's works on science and methodology have viewed them as “correlates” of his theoretical project of politics. I contend that they too ignore the degree to which Weber's methodological works reveal an immanent critique of his own theory of politics in particular and the craft of political theorizing in general. In this dissertation I confirm the anti-political overtures that underlie Max Weber's theory of politics. I challenge his theory of liberal democracy insofar as he anchors it to his public and quite problematic advocacy of German national glory. But more important, I charge that his scientific and methodological works provide greater insight into the elements that comprise a theory of politics in his thinking. I believe they do so in that Weber's theory of scientific scholarship posits the aim of ethical clarity, the divide between facts and values, and the conditional quality of all human values. I thus turn Weber the ethical scholar against Weber the active citizen. With this critique, I draw several conclusions about the contemporary value of Max Weber's political thinking. In clarifying the differences between his concepts of political judgment (Augenmass) and scholarly judgment (Urteil), I confirm that where the former succumbs to the dictates of one conviction, the latter ultimately contests all convictions. Based on this contrast, I also affirm how Weber's idea of scholarship invites more fruitful prospects of political struggle, prospects that extend outside the “life-sphere” of the liberal institutions of politics. Finally, from this alternative location of politics, I suggest that Weber's idea of an ethic of responsibility (Verantwortungsethik) includes the scholar as much as the politician, especially a scholar who contests the ultimate ends of the politician, other scholars, and one's own self.

Abstract:
Many accounts of Max Weber’s thought would seek to portray him as a theorist of responsibility or “re-enchantment” – as one who can confirm for us the appropriateness of a liberal position given the conditions of life as moderns, thus preserving the possibility of a renewed project of management at every turn. Such a reading may well be comforting today, insofar as it enables a reconciliation to the constellations of technological thinking within which we already find ourselves engaged. Over and against such accounts, this thesis attempts to elaborate an image of Weber as a hunger artist, as one who brings into emphasis a fundamental sense of loss attendant to “modernity”, and who broods upon that loss as the condition of a more faithful reflection upon the character of being. Not only does Weber offer insight into modern conditions of research and the theorization of politics; he is one who thinks such questions in their mournful profundity, gesturing towards what cannot be carried forward within their terms. In the melancholy of his thought, it is suggested, we glimpse the contours of a horizon from which we have still not emerged.

Abstract:
Many scholars claim that Pentecostalism is the fastest growing religious phenomenon in human history. Using two important essays of Max Weber as a foundation, this thesis examines whether growth of Pentecostalism in Latin America is promoting the Protestant Ethic described by Weber as well as Social Capital and Spiritual Capital. Analyzing data from the World Values Survey, this thesis argues that growth of Pentecostalism in Latin America is not creating a new Protestant Ethic among its followers, nor is Pentecostalism creating any greater Social Capital or Spiritual Capital among its followers when compared to other religious groups in the region. This thesis argues that the strong emotional character of Pentecostalism weighs against the creation or Social Capital and Spiritual Capital and that the tendency of Pentecostals to find assurance of their salvation in emotional experience does not promote the frugality or rationalization of work necessary for the Protestant Ethic.

Abstract:
This study examines the Werturteilsstreit, an ongoing controversy about the relationship between empirical social research and judgements regarding the desirability or undesirability of social phenomena. Central to the study is the work of Max Weber, which remains the principal stimulus and recurring focal point of the controversy. Focusing on a crucial ambiguity in the contested idea of scientific 'value-freedom,' I first argue that the dispute about value-judgements is in fact most clearly treated as two closely related but distinct disputes--a 'methodological' dispute concerning the influence of shifting cultural-historical values on the social sciences, and a 'metanormative' dispute concerning whether and how social scientific knowledge can validate moral and political claims. By exploiting the generally unnoticed complexity of Weber's pivotal contribution to these controversies, I then proceed to develop an 'intermediary' position which problematizes the standard battlelines between proponents of 'value-free' and 'normative' social science Turning first to the methodological dispute, I argue that one can reject the broadly 'positivist' conception of value-freedom, which attempts to exclude extra-scientific value assumptions from the contexts of empirical analysis and validation, and that one can do so without endangering the idea of scientific objectivity. My argument here relies heavily on Weber's Wertbeziehung ('value-relevance') thesis, which I read in concert with developments in 'postempiricist' philosophy of science, and as providing the basis for a transcendental criticism of methodological value-freedom. In part II of the study, I then argue that this criticism does not entail a refutation of the more properly Weberian conception of Wertfreiheit as a metanormative principal--i.e., as a constraint upon scientifically informed social criticism. The primary interlocutor with the Weberian position here is the critical theory and discourse ethics of Jurgen Habermas. Contrary to prevailing views, I argue (1) that Weber's 'decisionist' model of practical deliberation need not be interpreted as a form of blatant ethical non-cognitivism; and (2) that Habermas's arguments for a critical social science do not suffice to dispense with the 'immanent' considerations that constitute the basis of the Weberian critical model

Abstract:
À partir des études récentes démontrant l’importance des élites catholiques dans la foulée des changements et de la modernisation de la société québécoise entre les années 1930 et 1970, nous tentons de mieux comprendre ces élites, leurs motifs et leur destin. Issues des jeunes générations de laïcs contestataires des années 1930 et 1940, nous montrons d’abord que les élites catholiques laïques ont été influencées par des courants philosophiques de renouveau chrétien et par leur formation dans l’Action catholique spécialisée. En contestant le cléricalisme et le conservatisme présents au Québec entre 1930 et 1960, elles ont développé une pensée réformiste se situant dans l’esprit du concile Vatican II et de la Révolution tranquille. Un trait caractérise ces élites: même en étant critiques envers l’Église catholique, elles sont tout de même demeurées loyales envers le catholicisme. Nous proposons de nous réapproprier la sociologie de Max Weber afin de mieux comprendre l’implication des élites catholiques laïques à la modernisation de la société québécoise et, par là, de saisir le type particulier de sécularisation qu’a connu le Québec des années 1950 à 1970. Pour ce faire, nous retenons les parcours de vie et le discours de trois représentants de ces élites: Guy Rocher, Jacques Grand’Maison et Claude Ryan. À partir de ces acteurs, nous délinéons trois « voies » distinctes empruntées par les élites catholiques laïques pour s’engager dans la société. Ces trois « voies » relatent certes des types d’engagement différents, mais elles renvoient aussi à un ancrage catholique commun. En considérant le point de vue de ces élites face aux transformations du paysage religieux au Québec, nous examinons enfin l’utilisation du concept de sécularisation par rapport à la laïcisation et la déconfessionnalisation ainsi que les enjeux actuels liés à la religion.
Based 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.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse de sociologie du droit, nous étudions l'influence du droit de l'État sur les sujets de droit. Notre hypothèse générale est que les intermédiaires du droit de l'État contribuent de façon importante à façonner le« rapport au droit» des sujets de droit. C'est-à-dire qu'ils auraient une incidence sur la construction de la relation d'influence du droit sur ces acteurs sociaux et, par là, un effet marqué sur la « légitimité empirique » du droit. Par leurs pratiques professionnelles les intermédiaires du droit auraient une incidence notable, quoique non exclusive, sur les formes concrètes de «rapports au droit» des sujets de droit. Dans l'étude de ce phénomène, nous comparons empiriquement les liens existant entre différents « rapports au droit » des sujets de droit et un droit caractérisé par une rationalité juridique fort différente selon qu'il aurait été porté par un avocat ou un médiateur. Ces deux groupes de professionnels sont les intermédiaires du droit qui font 1’objet de notre observation, laquelle n'est ni générale, ni globale, mais spécifique au divorce, géographiquement localisée à Montréal et historiquement située au début des années 1990. L'intérêt de cette période pour une étude de l'influence du droit sur les sujets de droit est qu'elle constitue un moment unique de l'histoire à Montréal. À cette époque, les différences entre les pratiques professionnelles des avocats et des médiateurs auraient été les plus extrêmes, ce qui favorise un travail de comparaison d'autant plus éclairant. En effet, au début des années 1990, après une dizaine d'années d'expérience, le Service de médiation à la famille de Montréal avait réussi à assurer une solide pratique professionnelle. Par ailleurs, la pratique professionnelle des avocats dans le domaine du divorce était déjà fort « modernisée », mais elle demeurait encore très peu influencée par la médiation familiale. Puisque le « rapport au droit » des personnes qui ont consulté ces intermédiaires du droit en vue de leur divorce est au cœur de 1 'étude, c'est auprès d'eux que nous avons réalisé des entretiens, et c'est l'analyse de ces entretiens qui permet de comprendre leur « rapport au droit». La sociologie de Max Weber est la perspective scientifique dans laquelle nous avons inscrit notre recherche. Une telle ambition exigeait que nous ne restions pas confinée aux seuls concepts les plus populaires. Par conséquent, une partie importante de cette thèse est consacrée à une présentation substantielle de la sociologie wébérienne. Sur cette base, nous avons construit notre stratégie d'enquête et nos instruments d'analyse idéal typiques. Non seulement il n'y a pas, chez Weber, de théorie systémique générale composée de lois explicatives des relations sociales, mais il n'y a pas non plus de modèle de cadre d'analyse particulier préfabriqué qui serait constitué comme un «prêt-à-porter» applicable en vue de réaliser des recherches empiriques, que ce soit dans le domaine du droit ou dans n'importe quel autre domaine d'activité humaine. En revanche, la sociologie wébérienne fournit plusieurs séries de repères conceptuels. Ils permettent d'organiser la recherche empirique sans jamais limiter les objets d'enquêtes possibles, ni l'imagination du chercheur, en autant que celui-ci a pour but de comprendre l'action sociale en l'interprétant et, par-là, de l'expliquer causalement dans son déroulement et ses effets. C'est là le projet de connaissance que Weber désigne par « sociologie ». Il vise ce projet de connaissance, non pas de manière générale et globale, mais toujours de manière particulière selon les domaines d'activité, les lieux, les époques, les sphères de valeurs, etc. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons un cadre d'analyse qui peut servir à poser et à approfondir toutes sortes de questions sur le droit et son influence, sans jamais qu'il soit considéré comme un système de lois à la manière du droit positif. Ce cadre d'analyse vise à appréhender le droit comme une sorte de relation sociale que l'on peut comprendre sociologiquement en considérant, notamment, les représentations juridiques des différentes catégories d'acteurs sociaux. C'est là la première, non pas la seule, condition à rencontrer en vue de respecter les exigences de la connaissance empirique du droit parce que le « droit empirique » ne se trouve pas dans la règle de droit positif. Il se trouve là où il est « porté » par des êtres humains et, en particulier, par des groupes d'humains qui détiennent une importante dose d'influence sociale. Nous souhaitons que cette étude, grâce à 1 'immense apport de la sociologie de Max Weber, contribue à la compréhension sociologique d'un aspect du « droit empirique» de l’État contemporain.
In 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".
