A qualitative study of male and female perceptions in differences in the working and domestic sphere : a comparison of the French and Finnish cultures

2015

This thesis presents a comparison between two culturally different countries in terms of gender differences causing inequality in the working and domestic life. France, one of the pioneer countries in terms of fighting for women’s rights, but at the same time strongly paternalistic and chauvinist as a result of its Latin culture, is compared to Finland, considered as an example for gender equality. The research was conducted among private French and Finnish companies, where interviews were conducted of male and female employees holding different positions in the hierarchy. The thesis presents two articles. 1) The first one focuses on the reproduction of a social structure by the organizatio…

Les syndicats : frein ou moteur du statut de la fonction publique ?

2017

Titre original dans le colloque :"Les syndicats de fonctionnaires sont-ils des freins ou des moteurs de l’évolution statutaire ?"ISBN : 978-2822404990; International audience; Ce chapitre se développe en trois points relativement inégaux. D’abord, il s’agit de remonter, assez brièvement, avant 1983-84, pour souligner l’évolution historique des positions syndicales quant à la question du statut des fonctionnaires tout en mentionnant d’emblée que l’histoire politico-syndicale du statut de 1946 reste largement à écrire. Ensuite, il s’agit de revenir, plus longuement, sur le contexte des années 1980, celui de l’adoption de l’actuel statut qui a commémoré son trentenaire en 2013. Enfin, dernier …

French Fries, French Foxes and Crazy Frenchmen in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) and Roger Avary's Killing Zoe (1994) : Reading Hollywood “F…

2010

International audience; This article focuses on the representation of Frenchness in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Roger Avary's Killing Zoe, which were both released in 1994 and made by directors who regularly collaborated at the time. The treatment of Frenchness is different in both films, Pulp Fiction containing several anecdotal references and one French character, while Killing Zoe takes place in France with an almost exclusively European cast. The representation of Frenchness in these films will be my starting point to determine the readings possible for a spectator who is or is not familiar with French and French culture. “Frenchness,” which Pierre Verdaguer has shown is genera…

Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club

2009

International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…

Francesco Crispi

2012

L’esistenza di Francesco Crispi (Ribera, 4 ottobre 1818 – Napoli, 11 agosto 1901) percorre tutto l’Ottocento, e oggi, oltre un secolo dopo la sua morte, in un’epoca assai distante dagli eventi che lo videro protagonista, dove lo stesso mondo che egli ha contribuito a cambiare è del tutto dissolto dai fenomeni recenti della globalizzazione che hanno trasformato sia la vita degli individui che la natura degli Stati; proprio oggi,si diceva, gli storici sono inclini a riconoscere che la parabola oggettivamente straordinaria di questo personaggio, un siciliano di stirpe albanese che divenne uno degli statisti più autorevoli e discussi del suo tempo,possa essere ripensata come la chiave interpret…
