La démocratisation de l'enseignement en France : polémiques autour d'une question d'actualité
2000
Duru-Bellat Marie, Kieffer Annick.- The democratization of education in France: controversy over a topical question The question of the democratization of education in France has been studied many times. It remains open, however, since the facts themselves are constantly changing and the methods used to examine the question vary widely, reflecting the different notions of equality of opportunity on which they are based. This article analyses the change in inequalities for the generations born from the start of the century up to the 1960s, using the FQP (training and vocational qualification) surveys and the most recent panel survey of first-year secondary school pupils of the Education Mini…
L’intervention psychologique à domicile : une pratique de funambule auprès de patients atteints de pathologie somatique grave et de leur famille
2016
Resume Ce travail ouvre une reflexion sur une forme de pratique du psychologue peu repandue qu’est la visite a domicile. Le psychologue doit pouvoir se deloger des reperes lies a la pratique de l’entretien clinique classique. A partir de rencontres a domicile avec un patient atteint d’une pathologie somatique grave et sa famille, nous proposons d’interroger la specificite de ce lieu et en quoi, il peut biaiser la creation d’un espace de pensee. Le delicat exercice pour le psychologue, tel un funambule, consisterait a instaurer une permanence du cadre dans un cadre mouvant qu’est l’espace de vie d’un autre. Ce theâtre du domicile favoriserait chez le patient un recours a l’agir prenant la fo…
The humanities are not our patient
2021
When inviting contributions to a special issue of this journal titled ‘Management Learning and the Unsettled Humanities’ the guest editors did not simply encourage contributors to explore possibilities ‘for reciprocal integration’ between the two realms. Stressing that ‘the humanities . . . [are] facing a complex crisis on their own’, they stated that ‘the humanities . . . need to be enriched, nuanced, and critiqued through . . . the ideas and perspectives of organisational research’. While we may agree that all is not well in the humanities and share their scepticism towards ‘just prescribing the value of the humanities to ameliorate the ills of management education’, we are less confiden…
Entangled photographers: Agents and actants in preschoolers’ photography talk
2020
Photographs taken by young children have engendered a growing amount of research across diverse academic disciplines. Photographs have been used as visual data for analysing for example children’s social relations and well-being. However, only a few studies have addressed the photographic practices of young children as means for them to explore, imagine and coexist with the surrounding world. In this article, I introduce a case study that draws on research from art education and sociology of childhood. The data were gathered in a photography workshop in a Finnish early childhood education and care centre, where fourteen preschoolers discussed their photographs inspired by contemporary Finni…
Le corps vécu chez la personne âgée et la personne handicapée
2010
Consacre a l’experience du corps vecu chez les personnes en situation de dependance, ainsi qu’aux representations qui peuvent conduire a l’obliterer, cet ouvrage comporte une part non negligeable de temoignages. Il s’agit de stimuler la reflexion sur la difference entre l’experience reelle des personnes et celle qu’on leur prete. L’etude du handicap et du vieillissement permet par ailleurs d’interroger les limites de notre tolerance, et de l’experience meme que nous faisons de notre propre corps : comment definirions-nous notre propre intimite ? notre autonomie ?Le corps vecu tel que nous l’eprouvons n’est en effet pas reductible a la connaissance anatomique et physiologique que nous en don…
Propositions pour une littérature d’investigation
2017
Le temps semble a l’alliance de la litterature et des sciences sociales. Mais les modalites en sont encore incertaines. Au lieu de considerer l’anthropologie comme une forme de litterature, on peut envisager la litterature comme une enquete. Cette « litterature d’investigation » se donne notamment pour objectif de documenter des formes de vie et de monter des dispositifs rendant compte d’aspects inapercus de phenomenes sociaux. Elle occupe ainsi une position intermediaire : elle se menage a la fois une liberte et une creativite relatives vis-a-vis des protocoles d’enquete propres aux sciences sociales et une certaine mefiance pour un respect trop reverencieux envers la litterature.
Mourning Missing Migrants
2019
While the term missing refers to various instances and practices, we focus on the bodies of deceased migrants that remain unidentified, and on the inability of families to mourn someone when there is no body to grieve for. We deploy some ethnographic fragments of how Italian communities sometimes mourn those who are buried without a name and we describe the many problems of mourning someone whose fate is unknown through a discussion of the notion of ‘ambiguous loss’. Our contribution articulates some of the politics around deaths in migration by considering how missing migrants and their bodies are mourned in multiplicity.
China in Pakistan and the wider region: A cautious but effective leader?
2018
This article assesses China–Pakistan-Afghanistan relations in the period 2014–2018 and asks whether China has exercised distinct pressure on Pakistan to be a more constructive partner for Afghanistan. A central argument is that even as China has failed to alter Pakistan’s policies significantly in the short term it is still continuing to successfully build power and trust in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as with their neighbours to the north and west. This bodes well for China’s exercise of regional leadership in a long-term perspective.
The Oxford Handbook of Law and Anthropology
2020
Abstract This book is a groundbreaking collection of essays that provides an original and internationally framed conception of the historical, theoretical, and ethnographic interconnections of law and anthropology. Each of the chapters in the Handbook provides a survey of the current state of scholarly debate and an argument about the future direction of research in this dynamic and interdisciplinary field. The structure of the Handbook is animated by an overarching collective narrative about how law and anthropology have and should relate to each other as intersecting domains of inquiry that address such fundamental questions as dispute resolution, normative ordering, social organization, …
Cribra orbitalia as a potential indicator of childhood stress: Evidence from paleopathology, stable C, N, and O isotopes, and trace element concentra…
2016
Cribra orbitalia (CO), or porotic hyperostosis (PH) of the orbital roof, is one of the most common pathological conditions found in archaeological subadult skeletal remains. Reaching frequencies higher than 50% in many prehistoric samples, CO has been generally attributed to a variety of factors including malnutrition (e.g., megaloblastic anemia) and parasitism. In this study, we tested the relationship between CO, trace element concentrations, and stable isotope values (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O) in subadult skeletons from a 17th to 18th century cemetery in the historic town of Jēkabpils, Latvia. A total of 28 subadults were examined, seven of which (25%) showed evidence of CO. Bioarchaeological ev…
