Victor Schoelcher, abolitionniste et républicain : approche juridique et politique de l'oeuvre d'un fondateur de la République
2000
The aim of this judicial and political analysis is to reveal Victor Schoelcher's decisive influence in the fight for equal rights and for the republic, in the French mainland as well as in its colonies. His well known fight against slavery was just a part of his humanist defense of the republican principles : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Schoelcher truly was a founder of the republic, taking part in the barricade insurrections against the 1851 coup and fighting against any kind of slavery or absolutism. His work addressed many aspects of our society, among which : - Slavery and the colonies (legal status of slaves, emancipated slaves and of the colonies) - Rights and liberties of men and …
The need of political governance: The political sphere as main thrust and guarantor on Walzer’s theory
2014
Tomando como pretexto la teoría política de Walzer, el presente artículo pretende mostrar la necesidad de política en los tiempos y sociedades actuales. A pesar de lo depauperada y defenestrada que ésta pudiera parecer, sigue siendo necesario articular su papel en nuestras sociedades y mostrar su rol clave para librarnos de problemas tan omnipresentes como puede ser la corrupción en nuestros días. Para ello trataremos de indagar en cuál es el papel de la política y cómo es su relación con la sociedad civil y otras esferas de actuación, poniendo en valor su necesidad. Using as a pretext Walzer’s political theory, this article aims to show the need for politics in our times and contemporary s…
The good, the bad and the ugly: images of the foreigner in contemporary criminal law
2018
Since the end of the Second World War, the criminal law of Western states has tried to legitimate itself, in basically democratic-republican terms, as primarily addressed towards citizens. During approximately the last 20 years, however, new dimensions of criminal law have emerged, which refer paradigmatically (not to the citizen, but) to the foreigner and subject him/her to worse legal treatment than that which is considered legitimate when either citizens or ‘good’ foreigners are concerned. Next to the ideal-type of the citizen criminal law (also applicable, by assimilation, to the ‘good’ foreigner) a criminal law for ‘ugly’ mass-foreigners (crimmigration) and one for ‘bad’ foreigners (en…
The construction of school participation. The Geoforo Iberoamericano in 2017
2017
La participación escolar es una situación compleja, pues oscila entre las voluntades de su realización y los obstáculos para canalizar los deseos de las personas que son parte integrante de la sociedad educativa. En el caso del Geoforo Iberoamericano hemos asistido al aumento del número de visitas y de opiniones vertidas sobre sus foros de debate pero era preciso analizar cómo se fraguaba dicha participación. Un primer paso es el estudio de qué conceptos se repiten en las opiniones que se manifiestan por alumnos y docentes; una cuestión que abordamos en este balance de 2017. Más adelante ya llegará la fase de las interrelaciones entre sujetos. Además, al mismo tiempo, asistimos a la interna…

The children of immigrants in France: The emergence of a second generaton with the collaboration of Esin Gezer Special Series on Children in Immigran…
2009
International audience; Since the mid - 1970s, immigration for family reunification has been more important than labour fo rce immigration. Most residence permits are granted because of family relationships. The immigrant population has been ageing. More than half the Italian immigrants are over 65. While second - generation Italians and Spaniards represent nearly half all immig rants 18 and over, they have been largely overtaken in the 0 – 17 age group by second - generation Algerians, Moroccans, Portuguese and sub - Saharan Africans. Of the last group, 21 per cent are under 25 years of age. Immigrants who arrived in France less than 1 0 years ago are more highly qualified than previous im…
The Black Mediterranean: A View from Sicily
2021
While Italy has recently experienced nationalist drives, Sicily and in particular the City of Palermo, one of the major ports of refuge for countless migrants arriving in Europe from the African shores, has distinguished itself as an experimental site where to rethink and challenge notions of residence, mobility, citizenship and belonging. Through a series of cultural initiatives, Palermo has become a hub for frontline artists, writers, intellectuals, and activists who have gathered to explore the historically and contemporary ways in which black voices have been silenced and black bodies have been ambiguously imagined in Western-dominated global culture. Investigating these questions is fu…
Learning, Philosophy, and African Citizenship
2022
This open access book discusses and addresses the compelling questions concerning the ideals of citizenship, the processes of learning to fulfill these ideals, and possibilities of education in fostering citizenship. Rather than advocating for one framework, the authors demonstrate the continuously contested nature of the concept of citizenship as theoretically discussed and practically experienced. The monograph combines, in an unconventional way, selected philosophical accounts and everyday experiences from certain locations in Tanzania and Uganda. It provides contributions from philosophical ideas drawing on scholars such as Chantal Mouffe, Rosi Braidotti, Theodor Adorno, and Étienne Bal…
"All About Doing Democracy"? : Participation and Citizenship in EU Projects
2018
Participation, citizenship and democracy form a triad consisting of multiple conceptual and practical links in political life and theory. The popularity of the concept of participation and various participatory practices is growing, and in the administration of the European Union, one way of increasing participation is the EU programmes through which funding is distributed for citizens’ co-operation across the member states in different fields. The chapter investigates conceptualisations of participation at the level of individual projects funded by two EU programmes, Europe for Citizens and Culture, in the programme period 2007-2013. Union citizenship as a conceptual change and a political…
Good Patriot : The Concept of Citizenship in the Russian State Programs of Patriotic Education in the years 2001–2020
2021
2000-luvulla Venäjän poliittista kenttää on luonnehtinut valtiojohtoinen patrioottinen toimintaideologia, jonka keskeisenä ajatuksena on ollut tehdä Venäjästä jälleen suurvalta. Ideologian konkreettinen ilmenemismuoto ovat ohjelmat, joissa hahmoteltu koulutusjärjestelmä pyrkii kouluttamaan kansalaiset uudelleen patriootteina ja vieraannuttamaan heidät 1990-luvun demokratian periaatteista. Jotta ohjelmissa esitetyt politiikkatoimet nähtäisiin legitiimeinä, kansalaiset täytyy saada kannattamaan niissä ehdotettua patrioottista kasvatusta. Tähän pyritään määrittelemällä kansalaisuus valtion ja yksilön välisenä suhteena uudelleen. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan tämän uudelleenmäärittelyn ilmen…
