Du sujet foucaldien au sujet post-moderne. Laïcité et déni du politique dans le système scolaire français
2008
Le passage des sociétés modernes aux sociétés postmodernes impose la réévaluation de la notion de sujet et des modalités de construction de la règle scolaire. Si, à l’école, le contrôle devient régulation, la question de la nécessaire intériorisation de la loi scolaire gomme celle de l’arbitraire et de la plurivocité des règles. La spécificité du système éducatif français tient à la construction historique républicaine de la laïcité, abusivement saisie comme neutralité politique ou religieuse. Le déni du caractère négociable et interprétatif des normes scolaires scelle le caractère politique de l’institution scolaire et les difficultés à penser collectivement le lien/lieu scolaire.
À la recherche d’un langage de l’action
2018
Dans le champ des Relations internationales, Vincent Pouliot développe une théorie du praticable comme une théorie « matérielle » de la pratique, complémentaire à celle des conséquences, de la convenance, de l’argumentation. La logique du praticable serait paradoxalement la base non théorique de toutes les théories en ri. Comment l’approche de Pouliot, inspirée par les travaux de Bourdieu, se prête-t-elle à ce genre d’exercice ? Deux questions me semblent essentielles pour une analyse sociologique de la pratique en ri d’un point de vue « webero-bourdieusien » : le rôle du politique et de la domination, puis la logique de la pratique.
Do social comparison and coping styles play a role in the development of burnout? Cross-sectional and longitudinal findings
2006
The present longitudinal research among 558 teachers focused on the role of upward comparisons (with others performing better), downward comparisons (with others performing worse), and coping styles in relation to burnout. Assessed were identification (recognizing oneself in the other) and contrast (seeing the other as a competitor) in upward and downward comparison. Cross-sectionally, downward identification and upward contrast were positively related to burnout and negatively related to a direct coping style, whereas upward identification was negatively related to burnout and positively related to a direct coping style. Downward identification was positively related to a palliative coping…
‘Landscape of exception’: Power inequalities and ethical planning challenges in the landscape transformation of south-eastern Sicily
2021
In some marginal contexts of Southern Italy, in light of specific economic, political and social conditions, certain relationships between ‘strong powers’ and ‘weak powers’ produce a suspension of norms/rights that is, paradoxically, ‘normalised’. This creates a particular spatial variation of Agamben’s (2005) state of exception concept: the ‘landscape of exception’. With respect to the possible conditions of ‘exception’, this article describes the ‘landscape of exception’ of the greenhouse system in South-Eastern Sicily. This ‘landscape of exception’ is generated by the greenhouses, in particular those dedicated to vegetable production, through an effective mechanism of spatial manipulati…
Umowa czy harmonia społeczna
2017
There are some well-known critiques of social contract undertaken from the traditionalist, communitarian and Marxist perspectives. This article suggests a different, rationalist approach: the return to classical rationality. I show that the idea of the social contract has its basis in the mistaken modern assertions concerning human nature, identifying human beings as individuals moved by desires and the will to power, and the phenomenon of life as an endless conflict. I argue that cooperation is essential to human life. It is cooperation and the presence of ethics in the public and private spheres that makes us fully human and civilized beings. The community organized according to the requi…
Do social enterprises walk the talk? Assessing microfinance performances with mission statements
2019
We study mission drift in social enterprises by examining whether these organizations stick to the actual mission enshrined in their mission statements. We use data from microfinance organizations (MFOs), a homogeneous group of social enterprises which have been scrutinized—and sometimes criticized—for mission drift. We focus on three publicly recognized and non-mutually-exclusive microfinance social missions identified by previous studies: poverty alleviation, women's empowerment, and rural financial inclusion. Based on hand-collected data from 199 MFOs worldwide, our results suggest strong coherence between social missions and actual practices. Hence, we argue that, with respect to MFOs' …
Markov Model for Tweets Geographic Distribution Characterization
2015
Abstract In this paper we will continue our researches regarding e-Business and e-Government modeling on Social Media presented in (Stoica, Pitic, & Mihaescu, 2013). Among message and user parameters we add a new parameter used to describe the geographical dispersion of Twitter messages. This new parameter will characterize the way one set of messages will spread in Social Graph from the physical word point of view. The first model, presented as “A Novel Model for E-Business and E-Government Processes on Social”, will be extended with the geographical parameter PG. We will define and we will describe the Markov Model used to organize the messages gathered from social media. The main idea of…

Análisis relacional en iniciativas socialmente innovadoras. El caso de estudio de Alianza Mar Blava (Ibiza-Formentera)
2019
Los estudios de desarrollo local, durante los últimos años, han recuperado la innovación social cómo perspectiva analítica de los cambios organizativos y procesos de transformación de las relaciones sociales en el territorio. Con ello, surge el interés de cómo estudiar lo intangible de esta dimensión del desarrollo local. A partir de aquí, el capital social cobra especial interés como enfoque teórico para poder interpretar el análisis relacional. Así, mediante el caso de estudio de una iniciativa socialmente innovadora (Alianza Mar Blava, en el área de Ibiza y Formentera), esta investigación identifica la red social de actores relevantes y caracteriza las redes personales y otros atributos …
Bhaskar and Bunge on Social Emergence
2009
This article discusses the theories of social emergence developed by Roy Bhaskar and Mario Bunge. Bhaskar's concept of emergent causal power is shown to be ambiguous, and some of the difficulties of his depth-relational concept of social emergence are examined. It is argued that Bunge's systemic concept of emergent property is not only different, but also clearer and more consistent than Bhaskar's concept of emergent causal power. Despite its clarity and consistency, Bunge's definition of the concept of emergent property is shown to be too broad and analytically imprecise for the purposes of an emergentist social ontology. It is argued that Bunge's systemic account of social emergence can b…
