Inégalités sociales à l'école et idéologie méritocratique
2003
L'auteur s'attache ici a decrire dans un premier temps l'accumulation progressive des inegalites sociales de reussite, amplifiees ensuite par des inegalites de choix et de strategies scolaires, avant d'aborder dans une seconde partie la question du role de l'ecole, en soulignant en particulier ce qui se joue au niveau des etablissements. Elle se propose de revenir dans la conclusion sur la question de la participation de l'ecole a l'ideologie meritocratique.

Incertitudes et effets pervers de l'inflation scolaire
2006
06044http://ep.inrp.fr/EP/colloques/colloque_repenser_justice/communication_marie_duru_bellat/view; La méritocratie s'impose comme la seule voie à la fois juste et efficace de répartir les places (inégales) dans les sociétés démocratiques. Dès lors que la méritocratie fait l'objet d'une forte valorisation, et qu'on place toute confiance en l'école pour la faire advenir, tout développement de l'éducation ne peut aller que dans le sens du progrès : C'est un vecteur de réduction des inégalités sociales et d'accroissement de la mobilité sociale, les effets économiques et sociaux plus généraux en sont forcément positifs. Est-ce si sûr ? Sans balayer ici toutes ces questions, on pointera quelques…
La méritocratie scolaire, une idéologie partagée ?
2006
06049; Au sein du domaine assez nourri des travaux sur les sentiments de justice (Kellerhals et al, 1997 ; Dubet, 2005), la recherche présentée ici se centre sur l'intériorisation du principe de mérite et sur la légitimité de l'assimilation entre mérite et mérite scolaire. Il s'agit de tester l'hypothèse émise dans le cadre des théories de la reproduction selon laquelle l'école joue en ce domaine, avec entre autres conséquences que l'intériorisation de la méritocratie scolaire doit être sensible au niveau d'instruction. Dans ce volet qualitatif, on se fonde sur l'analyse de cent entretiens auprès d'adultes tout-venant. L'intériorisation de la méritocratie scolaire est appréhendée par des qu…
Gradus dignitatis (Cic. rep. I 27, 43). Merito e metro di valutazione dell’optimus status civitatis
2017
Starting from the review of the expression gradus dignitatis, used by Cicero in rep. I 27, 43, by means of a specific semantic-etymological investigation of the lemma dignitas and by comparing the different translations of this couple of words in the main modern languages, the paper attempts to reconstruct the position held by Cicero about the choice of magistratures within the optimus status civitatis. A position of highly meritocratic mark and in open polemic against the principle, promoted by the supporters of democratic regimes, of aequitas / aequabilitas in covering official positions, in a dialectical relationship with Plato and Aristotle. In the background of the specific debate open…
Merit, Competition, Distinction
2018
The article presents a critique of competition by introducing a concept called 'distinction'. Competition is thought to work as a guarantee of the fairness of meritocratic procedures (merit-based recruiting in the job market or e.g. entrance examinations). However, fairness created by competition is, even at its best, only relative. This critique is then used a part of a larger critique of the role of merit in society.
Autorytarna merytokracja — zarys modeluijego legitymizacja na przykładzie Chin
2021
The article analyses the model of authoritarian meritocracy and its legitimisation on the example of the Chinese People’s Republic. The discussed model is based on three principles: 1. power is exercised by a monoparticle elite that legitimises its position on the basis of moral and substantive criteria; 2. patriarchal and anti-democratic governance; 3. the authorities’ policy aims to meet the material needs of citizens, but without granting them political rights. The Communist Party of China in its official narrative, on the one hand, refers to the assumptions of Maoism, but on the other hand, to a much greater extent — especially in the field of economic cases and the operation of the adm…
"There Are No Women and They All Play Mercy" : Understanding and Explaining (the Lack of) Women’s Presence in Esports and Competitive Gaming
2018
In this paper, we explore women’s participation in esports and competitive gaming. We will analyze two different types of research material: online questionnaire responses by women explaining their reluctance to participate in esports, and online forum discussions regarding women’s participation in competitive Overwatch. We will examine the ways in which women’s participation – its conditions, limits and possibilities – are constructed in the discussions concerning women gamers, how women are negotiating their participation in their own words, and in what ways gender may affect these processes. Our findings support those made in previous studies concerning esports and competitive gaming as …
Gender and Toxic Meritocracy in Competitive Overwatch: Case “Ellie”
2022
AbstractThis chapter examines toxic meritocracy in relation to gender in competitive Overwatch, asking how gender affects a player’s opportunities for engagement in that scene. It analyzes online news stories and community discussions concerning “Ellie” – a fabricated competitive woman gamer created as a “social experiment” by a man player. The confluences between gender and toxic meritocracy become visible in the assumption there must be an experienced man gamer behind the battletag, the gender-based harassment targeted at Ellie, and the reflections on the importance of setting an example as the first team taking a woman player for Contenders. The analysis shows that despite a strong belie…
