  Associative Worlds : Grasping Politics by doing Ethnography on Associations

  Special issue 2021, vol. 47(3) of the Swiss Journal of Sociology

  This special issue aims to discuss ethnographic approaches that allow to shed light on the plurality of associations, societies and clubs. The aim is to examine the plurality of associational practices and meanings of associations, in order to contribute to a new scrutiny of the political dimension of associations. On the one hand, the papers will allow, by relying on ethnographic enquiries, to grasp the large variety of situations and worldviews that the world of associations entails, and through this, to open the way for underlying sociological questions. On the other hand, they shall question the contribution of ethnography to an exploration of the political potential of associational action - without limiting themselves to an organizational or motivational approach of the origins of an association.

  L’objectif du colloque organisé conjointement par le Comité franco-allemand des historiennes et historiens des XIX^e et XX^e siècles et l’université de Strasbourg est de mettre en valeur l’histoire de la pensée et de la pratique solidaire à l’époque contemporaine, dans un espace national comme transnational. Dans quelle mesure y-a-t-il eu des convergences, des divergences ou des interactions dans l’évolution des pensées et des pratiques de solidarité en France et en Allemagne, mais aussi en Europe et dans le monde ? Qu’en est-il des paradoxes ou des contradictions dans le débat sur la solidarité ?

  Processus de transmission dans les familles de migrants ou issues de l'immigration

  Regards croisés dans les États de l'Union européenne

  Asking oneself questions on the concept of « transmission » in the field of sociology or history of immigration, one can refer to Max Weber’s observation: “All differences in ‘customs’ can feed a specific feeling of ‘honor’ and ‘dignity’ within those who carry them out. One can forget the original motives that gave birth to diverse lifestyles and the contrasts continue being perpetuated as ‘conventions’.” (Economie et Société, Vol.2, Pocket 1995, p. 128) Nearly a century later, can this observation still be considered as a topical subject? It is exactly this question that the conference offers to verify, summoning around the syntagm “process of transmission” the different disciplinary fields of migratory research.

It aims at assembling articles dealing with these three “foundations” – in a connected or disconnected way – by putting into evidence the dynamic which connect them to the gender issue so as to renew the knowledge extending to these observations of various situations. Expected contributions will emanate from ethnography but those from different subjects concerning humanities and social sciences may be relevant as well.
