The European Educational Research Association: people, practices and policy over the last 20 years

From a pragmatic point of view, it is the people who make an organisation, but organisations are both people and structures, and not least organisations develop culture. One of the significant features of the European Educational Research Association (EERA) as an organisation is that many of its activities are run by people on a voluntary basis. Apart from a small office, now in Berlin, which oversees and handles the everyday management, participation on Council, reviewing and programming for ECER (European Conference on Educational Research), managing networks, etc. are all undertaken as voluntary work by academics from across Europe (and beyond). From the large group of people who are currently sustaining these activities, many have participated from the beginning, but many others, after having been once at the conference, returned and got engaged in the work, for instance within one of the networks. Among the many who participate in EERA activities, there is a diversity of reasons for doing so, but there seems to be something which is recurring in what people say about why they do it. One of these recurring ideas is that the discursive norms of the organisation are enforced in the context of welcoming people and ideas, and second, there exists an intellectual generosity and egalitarianism which encourages newcomers to participate rather than protect themselves. We believe that this tells something about what EERA and ECER are about.

Towards the Enabling City: Intermediate Places between Practices and Planning for Social Innovation in Bologna

The research investigates the interaction between social innovation practices and urban planning, assuming as a case study and field of application the city of Bologna, observed from the point of view of the production of urban policies and with respect to the places where it is practiced. Social innovation are localised actions tackling current urban complexities with micro-scale practices of service and urban production, by which new urban actors find answers to social needs, which are less afforded by the market and the public sectors. Planning and social innovation practices are two dimensions working in the city in different but complementary ways, subject to a mismatch. Through the lenses of interaction, the research explores the context of Bologna, a paradigmatic study and application field, a laboratory of innovative policies where a tradition of collective civic initiatives intertwines with a more responsible institutional planning framework. After drawing from area-based policies of Berlin and Barcelona, the thesis reads the role of specific intermediate places, mediators in bridging the level of institutions and the practices. Through an inventory and a cross-cutting taxonomy of intermediate places, the research draws the knowledge to inform a new urban model for the city of Bologna, aimed at overtake the mismatches by enabling the practices to act, allowing urban planning to frame them in a cross-fertilisation dimension. The proposed urban diagrammatic model, foresees intermediate places as local socio-urban observatories for research and development, interacting with both institutions and communities. The goal is to critically explore the limits and widen the meaning of the capacity of action of social innovation practices engaging in mutual-learning with the city. The model suggests a new possibility for reflection on urban planning as a more flexible approach, which translates the numerous experiences of the city into alternatives and multiple visions.

Intégration européenne et pratique diplomatique : l’expérience autrichienne (1987-2009)

Ce mémoire vise à élucider les implications de l’intégration européenne pour les diplomaties nationales. À partir d’une approche sociologique axée sur les pratiques des individus, une étude de cas est menée sur la diplomatie autrichienne, pour la période allant de 1987 à 2009. S’appuyant sur une vingtaine d’entretiens conduits en 2009 à Vienne, cette étude rend compte, d’une part, des changements engendrés par l’intégration européenne de l’Autriche au regard des pratiques et des représentations de ses diplomates concernant la politique de neutralité. D’autre part, nous relatons le processus d’adaptation des diplomates et du ministère des Affaires étrangères autrichiens aux exigences pratiques et aux dynamiques sociales de l’interaction diplomatique au sein de l’Union européenne (UE). En somme, notre étude montre que les diplomates impliqués dans la gestion des affaires (tant internes qu’externes) de l’UE convergent autour d’un certain nombre de règles et de représentations sociales; cette dynamique a des implications substantielles pour les diplomaties nationales intégrées relativement tardivement dans l’UE, comme ce fut le cas pour l’Autriche.

Masculinité en crise : transformation des pratiques et des représentations de la masculinité chez les jeunes salariés japonais

Durant la deuxième moitié du 20e siècle, divers aménagements structurels ont amené l’idéologie du système d’entreprise japonais à être acceptée globalement, non seulement comme un modèle légitime, mais aussi comme un modèle à suivre (et à poursuivre). Figure emblématique de ce système, le « salaryman » – employé masculin régulier des grandes entreprises ou administrations japonaises – s’est imposé au sein de la société japonaise. L’idéologie que véhicule le système d’entreprise a dès lors été interprétée par quelques auteurs comme un discours hégémonique, une image culturellement dominante du travail et de la vie quotidienne au Japon. Aujourd’hui, à la suite d’une conjoncture économique particulière fruit de la crise économique des années 1990, l’image du salaryman s’effrite et son caractère hégémonique tend à se fragmenter pour laisser place à de nouvelles pratiques et à de nouvelles valeurs souvent antagonistes avec les discours et les représentations du travail et de la masculinité qui ont dominé jusqu’alors. Une analyse historique et une enquête de terrain (entrevues semi-directives) nous montreront à la fois pourquoi le salaryman peut être compris comme un discours hégémonique et comment les nouvelles pratiques et représentations des jeunes japonais témoignent du caractère nouvellement fragmentaire de l’image du salaryman en contexte de crise. Ces résultats nous amèneront à considérer plus globalement l’implication des transformations du système d’emploi dans le changement social au Japon.

O trabalho policial: estudo da Polícia Cívil do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul

A tese apresenta um estudo do trabalho policial, tendo por referência empírica a Polícia Civil do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O trabalho policial é analisado a partir das relações sociais no campo de poder jurídico, que engloba, além da Polícia Civil, a Polícia Militar, o Ministério Público e o Poder Judiciário. Apresenta-se e analisa-se o processo de mudança quanto aos métodos de recrutamento e de formação dos novos policiais. Apresenta-se também uma análise das mudanças ocorridas no perfil sócio-demográfico dos policiais civis ao longo do período entre 1970 e 2004. Detalham-se as atividades desenvolvidas nas delegacias de polícia, apresentando os seguintes setores: o plantão, a investigação, o cartório e a secretaria. Discutem-se as formas através das quais, no desempenho das atividades policiais, ocorrem lutas pela classificação e pelo reconhecimento, que constituem múltiplas oposições, tais como entre "operacional" e "burocrata" e agente e delegado, entre outras. A abordagem das conexões entre trabalho policial e relações de gênero se faz presente ao longo do desenvolvimento da análise Considera-se que no estudo do trabalho policial civil, as questões de gênero remetem às representações e práticas de violência policial. Em outros termos, argumenta-se acerca da importância das relações de gênero na análise do trabalho policial, especialmente no que diz respeito às concepções de masculinidade, constitutivas classicamente da cultura policial, e às novas formas de expressão dessas relações sociais a partir da crescente presença feminina nos quadros da Polícia Civil do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A tese propicia a reflexão sobre as formas que assumem, hoje, as carreiras na Polícia Civil do Rio Grande do Sul, apontando avanços, embora em ritmo que inclui tempos de parada e espera, em direção ao uso de critérios públicos abrangentes na condução de seu agir.
