Amplitude and peculiar aspects of social inequalities in the French school

2005

05021http://www.scielo.br/pdf/ep/v31n1/a02v31n1.pdf; International audience; French sociology denounces vehemently since the end of the 1960s the important and standing social inequalities both in the access to the different levels of education and in school success stricto sensu. Such criticism has taken the form of a general theory put forward by Bourdieu and Passeron, in which such social inequalities are shown to be the necessary result of the functioning of the school institution. And this thesis, hugely influential not just among sociologists, but also more widely, has contributed to foster certain fatalism, since it establishes that the very function of school is to reproduce and leg…

Le sentiment de discrimination des descendants d'immigrés : reflet d'une orientation contrariée et d'un chômage persistant

2012

National audience; La discrimination est analysée ici en croisant les perceptions des jeunes avec la réalité de leur insertion sur le marché du travail et de leur parcours d'éducation. Une orientation contrariée en fin de troisième a un impact sur les trajectoires ultérieures, comme l'obtention d'un emploi. Certes, le chômage est lié au niveau d'études, mais les descendants d'immigrés originaires du Maghreb ou d'Afrique subsaharienne y sont surexposés, mettant en relief une discrimination à l'embauche, discrimination vivement ressentie par les jeunes eux-mêmes.

Regional income inequality in France 1860–1954: Methods and findings

2019

This paper explores regional (departement or NUTS3) income inequality in France between 1860 and 1954. To this end we first document the existing evidence, evaluate the estimation methods and findi...

Documenting the indignation: Responses to the 2008 financial crisis in contemporary Spanish cinema

2017

ABSTRACTThe aim of this article is to analyze two Spanish documentary films that reflect on the 2008 financial crisis in Spain, Mercado de futuros (Mercedes Alvarez, 2011) and No estamos solos (Pere Joan Ventura, 2015). These movies could be marked as political for their choice of a collective protagonist and for dealing with the issues of inequality with the purpose of appealing to mobilization and resistance to the neoliberal Western agenda that have provoked social cutbacks after the 2008 crisis. Mercedes Alvarez and Pere Joan Ventura follow the tradition of political documentaries traced by filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Joris Ivens, Pere Portabella, and Basilio Martin Patino and open…

Construyendo ciudadanía inclusiva y movimientos sociales de participación desde España e Italia: una perspectiva comparada

2015

Hoy, la redefinicion de la ciudadania y el progresivo incremento de los movimientos sociales de participacion son dos retos democraticos inaplazables en Espana e Italia. El primero es la lucha por la inclusion de los inmigrantes que tensiona los principios democraticos en Espana dada la clausula constitucional que vincula el derecho de sufragio al criterio de la reciprocidad, mientras que en Italia hay un laberinto juridico y doctrinal sobre la necesidad de reforma constitucional. El segundo son los movimientos de participacion ciudadana y de protesta social como el 15-M en Espana y el M5s en Italia que reivindican mayor protagonismo de la ciudadania y sus intereses en la constitucion del E…

Animal Welfare Attitudes (AWA) are defined as human attitudes towards the welfare of animals in different dimensions and settings. Demographic factors, such as age and gender are associated with AWA. The aim of this study was to assess gender differences among university students in a large convenience sample from twenty-two nations in AWA. A total of 7914 people participated in the study (5155 women, 2711 men, 48 diverse). Participants completed a questionnaire that collected demographic data, typical diet and responses to the Composite Respect for Animals Scale Short version (CRAS-S). In addition, we used a measure of gender empowerment from the Human Development Report. The largest varia…

Sharp capacity estimates for annuli in weighted R^n and in metric spaces

2017

We obtain estimates for the nonlinear variational capacity of annuli in weighted R^n and in metric spaces. We introduce four different (pointwise) exponent sets, show that they all play fundamental roles for capacity estimates, and also demonstrate that whether an end point of an exponent set is attained or not is important. As a consequence of our estimates we obtain, for instance, criteria for points to have zero (resp. positive) capacity. Our discussion holds in rather general metric spaces, including Carnot groups and many manifolds, but it is just as relevant on weighted R^n. Indeed, to illustrate the sharpness of our estimates, we give several examples of radially weighted R^n, which …

Contradictions as Drivers for Improving Inclusion in Teaching Pupils with Special Educational Needs

2018

The aim of this paper is to enhance understanding of the contradictions that arise in the drive to improve teaching practices among pupils with special educational needs (SENs). A questionnaire was administrated to 167 classroom teachers, subject teachers, special education teachers and teaching assistants in Finland. The analysis, based on thematic coding and analysis of manifestations of contradictions, revealed contradictions related to artefacts of teaching, participation in the community and school staff’s professional ability to teach SEN pupils in mainstream. Four types of manifestations, namely conflicts, critical conflicts, dilemmas, and double binds, could be identified in the dat…
