  The gender of professions

  Clomparative perspectives in the sociology of professional groups, the sociology of gender and the the sociology of migrations

  The object of this session is the sociological theorization of the relation between gender and profession. Today, the question is less the exclusion of women from work defined as professional, considering their feinization, than their routine inclusion in ill-defined support roles. The presentations could cross several approaches (of sociology of professional groups, gender, migrations, intersectionality...) to deal with issues like :inequalities in women's access to certain professions, male resistance to women's carrers, delegation of "dirty work", the specific and cultural construction of a masculinist vision of profession work, how professions professes gender, the effects of liberalisation of professions (in many sectors like Health, Culture or Law) on their feminization...

  Conference, symposium - Political studies

  Do elected representatives (really) like democracy ?

  Political staff facing citizen participation

  What is the relationship of elected officials with democracy and citizen participation? How do they perceive their roles as representatives, their status and their political room for maneuver? How do they understand the democratic role of citizens and their skills? How do these issues determine different profiles of elected officials and different political trajectories? What are the relationships of elected representatives and partisan organizations with democratic institutional reforms. How do they deal with the issue of democratizing democracy? These questions will be at the heart of this conference. Based on empirical work, original or reviewed, this symposium aims to show how elected representatives imagine what "good participation" should be, how they relate to the so-called "democratization" or "deprofessionalization" of political life, how they conceive the social demand for participation, how they construct policies of participation on this basis (often referred to as "supply policies") and potentially draw lessons about their own democratic experiences and their roles as representatives. At the crossroads of the sociology of public action, political roles and political behaviors, this conference aims to sum up the current state of research about political staff facing citizen participation.

  The political body of the child - research programs and modes of intervention

  Enfances familles générations international journal*

  L’enjeu de ce dossier thématique consiste à interroger la manière dont la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales influence les politiques et les formes d’intervention accompagnant la croissance de l’enfant. Ce numéro propose ainsi d’explorer : 1. la contribution des programmes de recherche sur notre regard sur l’enfant; 2. la manière dont les connaissances entourant la prise en charge du corps de l’enfant sont incorporées dans l’évaluation et l’orientation de l’action familiale et éducative; et 3. la manière dont les enfants, les parents, les éducateurs s’approprient le discours sur la corporéité.

  "Box-office militantism" - ethnographical investigations in comparison

  Cette journée d’étude vise à analyser, dans plusieurs domaines de l’action collective, les usages – et la signification sociale qui leur est associée – de ce dispositif de guichet, en tant que révélateur et analyseur de l’activité militante et de ses changements. Qu’est-ce que l’observation des interactions aux guichets de ces groupements associatifs ou militants permet de comprendre de l’organisation de l’action collective, de la division du travail en leur sein, des ressorts de la mobilisation, de l’articulation et de la hiérarchisation de différents modes d’action, ainsi que des tensions qui traversent leurs activités ? C’est donc bien le dispositif physique et symbolique du guichet et sa place dans l’action collective en tant que matérialisation d’une certaine forme de relation des personnes et organisations à leurs populations cibles qui seront au cœur des communications.
