Analyse visuelle e représentation de la réalité

The author's objective is to establish a relationship between the theoretical structure at the basis of a qualitative sociological analysis and the forms of visual representation of social reality, such as photography and social documentaries. Visual material becomes an object of analysis when it refers to a society that talks about itself and when it reproduces a reality which it records and makes nameable. The theme of observation is characterized by a complex activity in which perception, imagination, and representation are different functions from the sociological point of view, yet strongly connected because they make it possible for the researcher to interact visually with social reality. Observation procedures ask sociologists to have an eye capable of recognizing and perceiving in a representative way the experiences they have lived and the social facts they have observed and described. These must be portrayed not only as suggestive visual metaphors, but also as a consequence of ‘sensitive hearing’ which is essential in all research phases, from anthropology to ethnography and sociology.

La New Day Co-op est-elle (réellement) une coopérative ? Revisiter les théories sur la coopération à partir d'une expérience de pensée

De manière similaire aux sciences physiques, la méthode d'expérience de pensée permet d’étudier la validité des théories dans un « contexte limite », où le chercheur manque de données expérimentales. The Wire (sur écoute), série policière ambitieuse des années 2000, peut être vu comme un tel objet d’études riche pour les chercheurs en sciences sociales à la fois comme reflet de la réalité mais aussi comme objet autonome proposant une certaine interprétation des problèmes économiques et sociaux. En tant qu’expérience de pensée de sciences sociales, sa mise en scène provocante de la vie quotidienne d'une coopérative de revente de drogues, la New Day Co-op, interroge les concepts clés des travaux portant sur la coopération, et notamment l'assimilation habituelle entre justice sociale, transformation sociale et démocratie économique. « Matériel empirique » important dans le cadre d'une théorie anti-essentialiste des organisations coopératives, elle est également un appel à la prise en compte d'une démarche réflexive en sciences sociales.     

La spécificité émotionnelle des métiers de soins

Historiquement, les questions de genre sont au c?ur des métiers de soins. Généralement, les soins sont associés aux tâches que, de tous temps, les femmes prenaient en charge ou se voyaient imposer. C'est précisément pour cette raison que Tronto (Moral boundaries. A political argument for an ethic of care, 1993) affirme que les travaux de soins ont été historiquement conçus de telle manière qu'ils se retrouvent exclus du domaine du ‘vrai’ travail. Ils ne font pas partie du travail professionnel, qu'il soit industriel ou administratif. Cependant, on constate petit à petit une évolution en la matière. Depuis environ une décennie, les soins ont acquis une signification beaucoup plus large. On définit les travaux de soins comme un type de métier dans lequel la cognition, la compétence et l'émotion sont étroitement liées. La reconnaissance du caractère émotionnel des métiers de soins porte en elle un élément de base très important, tant pour le développement futur de ces métiers que pour l'élaboration d'une politique de ressources humaines ‘sur mesure’ pour les métiers de soins. Dans la deuxième partie de l'article, nous confrontons le discours qui a été développé dans le prolongement de cette idée à la pratique. Nous nous basons sur les résultats d'une enquête et d'une étude de cas auprès de la catégorie professionnelle des infirmiers et des soignants au sein des maisons de retraite et de soins en Flandre. Cette confrontation permet des conclusions quant à la spécificité des métiers de soins (qui restent pour l'instant principalement féminins).     

Amalgame et construction de l'Autre. Amalgame envers les minorités nationales et les minorités immigrées

Is it legitimate to establish a similarity of situation between migrants, and their descendants, and national minorities in a national territory, whether ethnic, cultural or religious? Both populations seem to be perceived in a comparable way by the majorities in power though they themselves may be plural in their composition. Accordingly some nation states create categories among the population, while others consider the law as universal for all. However, similar attitudes towards the other are developing based on psychological traits and with a socio-economic basis more often than not for political reasons. The ‘amalgam’ towards the Other depends on the meeting spot where real and forged identities meet. In the field there also function various levels of increasing mutual corresponding exclusions/rejections. Political utilitarianism is most clever in exploiting ‘amalgam’ to meet its own rallying views, the most obvious aspect being religious, whether openly developed or not. In spite of the clear danger of connecting worldwide places, a transverse study would enable one to bring into perspective similar phenomena all the more within their linkages.     

Dynamique de l’éducation bilingue interculturelle dans l'Amazonie brésilienne

In Brazil – and more largely in Latin America – the fight of the indigenous movements for the demarcation of their territory and the installation of an intercultural school education contributed to the constitutional changes of the years 1980–1990 which led these States to regard themselves from then on as pluricultural and multiethnic nations and to recognize collective rights specific to native people and tribes living on their territory. The author analyzes the advent and the development of this intercultural bilingual education in two border regions of the State of Amazonas (Alto Solimões and Alto Rio Negro) near the populations Ticuna, Baniwa and Tukano during the years 1990 and 2000. He shows in particular how the indigenous school, an assimilationist instrument for the Occidental and Christian culture until the 1980s, has been transformed by supporting the reappropriation of the traditional knowledge; meanwhile this school has opened itself to ‘Western’ knowledge in order to make it possible for the younger generation to acquire the ability to go towards evolution.     

Genre,suicide et sexualité(s) en Algérie

According to a popular and widespread belief, suicide is a rare phenomenon, if not absent at all, in Muslim societies. It is considered as a sociologically irrelevant because of the cognitive power and efficacy of religion. This idea is reinforced by the upheaval of suicide bombings and terrorism, the clamour of which conceals the phenomenon of civil suicide. This article will explore civil suicide through interviews held in Algeria, in which suicide is described as a more feminine, young and rural phenomena. These three dimensions are marginal in social science studies on ‘Islamic’ suicide, which are mainly centred on a Durkheimian analysis – that is to say an analysis which considers suicide as an essentially urban and male phenomenon, far from gender issues and conformed to dominant regimes of discourse.

Gamblers' irrational thinking about chance events: the ‘double switching’ concept

The aim of this study was to examine the association between gender and problem electronic gaming machine (EGM) gambling. One hundred and twenty-three males and 209 females (N=335; three participants did not identify their gender) with a mean age of 44.9 years were surveyed in gaming venues within Metropolitan Melbourne. The results showed a greater representation of Australian-born (74%) among the female group, compared to the male group (64%). The women were also older (47% were aged 41–60 years) than the men (48% of males were aged 19–40 years). Significant relationships were found between gender, age, marital status and religion and pathological EGM gambling. The results of this study showed the pathological EGM gambler was likely to be male, under the age of 45 years, single and possibly of the Greek Orthodox faith. Implications of this study suggest that different forms of gambling may suit different cultures and that other issues pertaining to cultural aspects of gambling need to be explored in greater depth.

Les dépenses de sécurité sociale vont-elles de pair avec de meilleurs résultats des entreprises? Étude de cas sur les PME indonésiennes

Le lien entre protection sociale et résultats des entreprises est abondamment étudié, mais on manque d'informations sur la situation des petites et moyennes entreprises des économies en développement. L'auteure examine ce lien à partir de données de recensement indonésiennes portant sur la période 2010-2014. Elle constate que, lorsque les dépenses de sécurité sociale augmentent de 10 pour cent, le chiffre d'affaires par travailleur progresse de 2 pour cent. De même, l'extension de la couverture sociale n'entraîne pas de baisse du bénéfice, ce qui laisse penser que les entreprises pourraient avoir intérêt à investir dans la sécurité sociale de leur personnel.
