Les femmes et l'économie numérique: franchir le seuil de l'inégalité. Synthèse

Le document aborde le débat sur le changement structurel et la place des femmes dans la société de l’information, ainsi que la capacité de développement de leur autonomie dans le cadre de la mise en place d’un nouveau paradigme technologique. Il dresse un bilan de la situation des femmes sur le marché de l’emploi et passe en revue, sur la base des données des enquêtes disponibles, les indicateurs d’accès à et d’utilisation de l’Internet de façon à mesurer les écarts existants entre hommes et femmes dans différentes sphères sociales et géographiques.

Gender, Politics and Democratisation in Cameroon

Gender perceptions, religious belief systems, and political thought have excluded women from politics, for ages, around the world. Combining feminist and modernisation theorists in my theoretical framework, I examine the trends in patriarchal Europe and I highlight the gender-sensitive model of the Nordic countries. Retracing local gender patterns from precolonial to postcolonial eras in sub-Saharan Africa, I explore the links between perceptions, needs, resources, education and women's political participation in Cameroon. Democratisation is supposed to open up political participation, to grant equal opportunities to all adults. One ironic feature of the liberalisation process in Cameroon has been the decrease of women in parliamentarian representation (14% in 1988, 6% in 1992, 5% in 1997 and 10% in 2002). What social, cultural and institutional mechanisms produced this paradoxical outcome, the exclusion of half the population? The gender complementarity of the indigenous context has been lost to male prevalence privileged by education, church, law, employment, economy and politics in the public sphere; most women are marginalised in the private sphere. Nation building and development have failed; ethnicism and individualism are growing. Some hope lies in the growing civil society. From two surveys and 21 focus groups across Cameroon, in 2000 and 2002, some significant results of the processed empirical data reveal low electoral registration (34.5% women and 65.9% men), contrasted by the willingness to run for municipal elections (33.3 % women and 45.2% men). The co-existence of customary and statutory laws, the corrupt political system and fraudulent practices, contribute to the marginalisation of women and men who are interested in politics. A large majority of female respondents consider female politicians more trustworthy and capable than their male counterparts; they even foresee the appointment of a female Prime Minister. The Nordic countries have institutionalised gender equality in their legislation, policies and practices. France has improved women's political inclusion with the parity laws; Rwanda is another model of women's representation, thanks to its post-conflict constitution. From my analysis, Cameroonian institutions, men and more so women, may learn and borrow from these experiences, in order to design and implement a sustainable and gender-balanced democracy. Keywords: democratisation, politics, gender equality, feminism, citizenship, Cameroon, Nordic countries, Finland, France, United Kingdom, quotas, societal social psychology.

Histoire d'un pays situe dans le nouveau monde, Nomme Amerique

Este é o tomo III da Coleção Voyages, relations et mémoires originaux pour servir a l'histoire de la découverte de l'Amerique, da editora Ternaux-Compans. Embora o prefácio do editor francês afirme ser esta a primeira versão francesa do famoso livro de Staden so o Brasil, J.C. Rodrigues fala de uma edição francesa em Amsterdã, de 1714, se, contudo, fornecer detalhes. Mesmo sendo esta a segunda tradução francesa, é também rara. Narra a odisséia vivida pelo autor durante nove meses como prisioneiro dos Tupinambás, fonte de consulta importante sobre o período inicial de nossa história. Staden descreve, além das experiências de seu cativeiro, suas viagens ao Brasil, desde os portos de origem. Preocupa-se em citar os nomes das pessoas, com quem lidou em diversas circunstâncias. é a primeira publicação sobre os índios brasileiros e, ainda hoje, na opinião de Borba de Moraes "constitui uma das mais valiosas fontes da etnologia em geral e da tupinologia especialmente".

Travelling Images, Images of Travel in Nicolas Bouvier's L'Usage du monde

Sketches and photographs are a familiar tool of the traveller-writer, who commonly draws on them when transforming experience into a textual narrative. The verbal thus displaces the visual — the latter retained, if at all, as mere illustration — in ways that echo James Heffernan's definition of ekphrasis as the ‘verbal description of visual representation’. Yet Nicolas Bouvier's 1963 travel narrative L'Usage du monde challenges conventional conceptions of ekphrasis. Juxtaposing the stark ink drawings of Thierry Vernet — Bouvier's travelling companion — with Bouvier's textual narrative, L'Usage du monde shifts representation away from a hierarchical relationship between verbal and visual; it offers instead an account of other cultures that is grounded in polyphony and exchange. This article applies Bouvier's own image of travel as a mosaic to the dual narrative form (or ‘iconotext’, to use Michael Nerlich's term) in order to consider a range of fluid relationships between Bouvier's text and Vernet's drawings. In examining these relationships of amplification, reduction, and absence, the article argues that the plurality of the narrative prompts a rethinking of conventional, binary paradigms of intercultural contact. Ultimately, the iconotextual nature of L'Usage du monde can be interpreted as a metaphor for the processes of cultural translation and transculturation that are central to Bouvier's travelling ethos.

Two Technological Dystopias: Le monde tel que'il sera and Alpha Ralpha Boulevard

The aim of this paper is to corn pare two technological dystopias: Emile Souvestre's Le Monde tel qu'il sera (1846) and Cordwainer Smith's "Alpha Ralpha Boulevard" (1961). Both texts present dystopian societies experienced by many of its inhabitants as being the best of possible worlds. The above authors question the massive use of technology, worry about what technology can do to human beings, how it can dehumanize them. They reveal serious social and moral concerns regarding the less privileged. These are excluded from the benefits of"Utopia" while making it possible. Both authors are childs of.. their time: they live in a period of national pride, they can see the shadows behind the luminous, the dangers resulting from human beings playing God with nature and humanity. Also, they are innovators: Souvestre announces dystopian science fiction and Smith renews with the genre announcing the New Wave movement in Anglo-American science fiction.

Simenon, un auteur et ses lecteurs : une économie de la grandeur

En invitant à se pencher sur les modalités concrètes de la réception d'un écrivain, l'étude des lettres de lecteurs à Simenon met en lumière ce que ce dernier fait à et pour eux, et ce, dans l'enchevêtrement de la personne réelle, du personnage de fiction (Maigret) et de la vedette. Les traits marquants de la relation auteurs-lecteurs sont examinés, en tenant compte de la tension spécifique engendrée par les valeurs marchandes et symboliques portées ensemble par un auteur présent sur plus d'un terrain : commercial, médiatique et littéraire. Au final, il s'agit de décrire les formes d'un « attachement aux grands singuliers » (Heinich) qu'illustre la correspondance « ordinaire » à Simenon.
