  Questioning the meaning of social work in the past and present

  Revue Dynamiques. Histoire sociale en revue - journal issue 7, September 2018

  Aujourd’hui comme hier, les assistants sociaux s’interrogent sur le sens de leurs pratiques professionnelles, et les finalités implicites de leur travail. Pour nourrir le questionnement aujourd’hui, on peut s’inspirer de ce que les travailleurs sociaux d’une génération précédente ont pu dire de leur métier, de leurs pratiques. La période 1970-1980 est en effet marquée par une interrogation radicale sur l’existence même du travail social comme corps professionnel et mode d’intervention de la société sur elle-même. Pourquoi ? Quels sont les questionnements ? Ont-ils évolué ? Quelles sont les issues ou les alternatives proposées ? L’objectif de ce numéro thématique de la revue Dynamiques. Histoire sociale en revue est de donner la part belle aux sources (archives, documents audiovisuels, sonores, publications, témoignages, etc.) qui permettent d’éclairer, d’un point de vue historique mais aussi sociologique, économique, philosophique, sociopolitique ou juridique, la façon dont les assistants sociaux s’interrogent sur le sens de leurs pratiques, de leur action et des aides qu’ils apportent aux populations marginalisées, des années 1970 à aujourd’hui.

  Social Rights and Democracy

  Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)

  We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.
