  Mobilizing Voters in the United States and the United Kingdom: political strategies from parties and grassroots organizations (1867 – 2017)

  Following two different and yet complementary approaches (one from the top down with parties and the other from the bottom up with grassroots organizations), we propose to compare how potential voters have been appealed to, through the use of different strategies and tools of communication”. Whether it be organizations or parties, it will be interesting to analyze how these groups either (re)connect citizens with politics or give birth to social movements which durably occupy the political landscape of the United States and the United Kingdom. Common features may be observed along with distinct approaches particularly adapted to the specificity of each country concerned.

  “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere!”

  Féminisme, multiculturalisme et luttes contre les intégrismes religieux

  Si l’origine exacte de l’expression « good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere! » est incertaine, tantôt attribuée à l’actrice et scénariste américaine Mae West tantôt à la rédactrice en chef du magazine Cosmopolitan, Helen Gurvey Brown, elle a été reprise comme slogan par les féministes qui dénoncent la double norme sexuelle imposée aux femmes par les religions. Aujourd’hui quels que soient les intégrismes religieux (catholique, protestant, islamique, juif, hindouiste, bouddhiste, orthodoxe, etc.) ils partagent tous la volonté de maîtriser le corps et la sexualité des femmes dont l’existence aurait, selon eux, pour but unique la maternité.
