How the unbanked cope with financial exclusion: Evidence from Pakistan
2016
This article investigates both the coping strategies employed by low-income unbanked consumers in Pakistan and the consequences of those strategies. Qualitative data were gathered from low-income unbanked consumers through in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that unbanked consumers utilize their respective social networks and various market and personal resources to cope with financial exclusion. The utilization of social network resources to cope with financial exclusion typically enabled participants to fulfill their obligations in a positive manner and enhanced solidarity and trust among group members, whereas the use of market and personal resources tended to produce more negative…
From Embodied to Disembodied Professionalism? Discussing the Implications of Medico-Managerial Management in Welfare Service Work
2013
Welfare service work is traditionally understood to comprise embodied, situational and social practices of care that are central to a worker’s professional self-image. Over the past few decades, public management reforms have called for reassessment of welfare service workers’ professional accountability through practices of medico-managerial service management. These practices promote the production of transparency and accountability in welfare services work through checking-based trust and disembodied professional practices. This article argues that the changes in the nature of trust toward welfare service professionals have implications for care work cultures and workers’ professional ag…
Le cadre de sante entre logiques d'utilité économique et logiques de soins hospitaliers
2010
The public hospital first line manager has to organize the activity of his care unit on the basis of arbitrations between two systems of logic that come more and more frequently in conflict: - The market logic / the public hospital logic - The care process logic / the patient's path logic - The function logic / the professional logic - The managerial logic / the logic "bureaucratic"
Identity politics of the promotional videos of the European Heritage Label
2019
During past decades, the EU has responded to a variety of ‘crises’ by promoting a common cultural heritage to advance European identity and belonging. This article analyses identity politics conducted in the framework of the EU’s flagship heritage action, the European Heritage Label. I borrow from ‘banal nationalism’ to scrutinise the usage of ‘we’ and ‘us’ in the promotional videos of the European Heritage Label sites as subject positions offered for identification in this heritage discourse. Analysis shows that the subject positions are constituted by an emphasis on the national level, preservation of the past for future generations and the key role of experts in the process of heritage. …
Populism as a pathological form of politics of recognition
2018
This article combines the neo-Hegelian theory of recognition with an analysis of social pathologies to show how the populist formulations of political goals in struggles for recognition are – despite their potential positive motivating force – socially pathological. The concept of recognition, combined with the idea of social pathologies, can thus be used to introduce normative considerations into the populism analysis. In this article it is argued that, although populism is useful in the sense that it aims to ameliorate real experienced lack of recognition through fostering political movements, it is also harmful. The simplified populist representations of collective identities are often g…
Etude des déterminants de la prime d'acquisition d'un bloc de contrôle : le cas français
2005
Dans ce travail, nous vérifions si la prime payée lors de l'acquisition d'un bloc de contrôle dépend de la taille de ce dernier et de la détention préalable d'actions de l'entreprise par l'acquéreur du bloc. Nous testons nos hypothèses sur un échantillon de 80 opérations réalisées en France entre 1996 et 2002. Nos résultats montrent que la taille du bloc acquis a une incidence sur la prime payée par les acquéreurs. Par ailleurs, nous constatons qu'il y a lieu d'étudier séparément les opérations effectuées par les actionnaires possédant déjà une fraction des actions de l'entreprise et celles effectuées par de nouveaux actionnaires
A scoping review exploration of the intended and unintended consequences of eHeath on older people : a health equity impact assessment
2018
eHealth is one perceived mechanism to extend the range and reach of limited health-care resources for older adults. A decade-scoping review (2007–2017) was conducted to systematically search and synthesize evidence to understand the intended and unintended consequences of eHealth initiatives, informed by a health equity impact assessment framework. Scoping review sources included international academic and grey literature on eHealth initiatives (e.g., eHealth records, telemedicine/telecare, and mobile eHealth application) focused on the varying needs of older adults (aged 60+), particularly individuals experiencing sociocultural and economic difficulties. Findings suggest that eHealth has s…
Long-Term Breastfeeding: The Embodied Experiences of Finnish Mothers
2019
Mothers’ experiences constitute a central and widely discussed issue within feminist breastfeeding research. Less is said however, about long-term breastfeeding in relation to embodiment. This article analyses the embodied experiences of Finnish mothers who have breastfed for over a year. Through a feminist lens, and an inductive qualitative content analysis, the written accounts of 39 long-term breastfeeding mothers were analysed, to show how mothers reflect on embodiment while breastfeeding long-term. Mothers described their embodied experiences in relation to four themes: functionality of the body; tiredness; beauty norms; and pleasure. The study reveals their accounts of bodily changes …
