L’éternel retour du "travail des enfants" dans les politiques publiques au Burkina Faso : perspective historique

Dans une perspective historique, ce chapitre cherche à comprendre comment le travail des enfants a été construit comme « problème » dans les politiques publiques au Burkina Faso. En remontant aux politiques coloniales françaises dans le pays, il se propose de répondre à la question suivante : face à l’émergence et au renforcement des politiques publiques de lutte contre le travail des enfants, assiste-t-on à une disparition du modèle de l’enfant du lignage qui percevait l’enfant comme une « richesse » et une force de travail complémentaire? Le chapitre présente d’abord la construction progressive du travail des enfants en « problème » de politiques publiques pendant la colonisation. Il analyse ensuite l’évolution et la portée de l’intervention des gouvernements successifs après l’indépendance pour imposer une nouvelle vision de l’enfant (l’enfant de la Nation). Enfin, il révèle que malgré l’engouement récent pour la prise en compte du point de vue l’enfant, le statut de l’enfant travailleur comme sujet peine à être reconnu. L’analyse globale montre une tension permanente, à des degrés différents, entre les modèles de l’enfant de la nation, de l’enfant du lignage et de l’enfant sujet : ce qui traduit aussi la complexité du travail des enfants et de sa lutte au Burkina Faso contemporain. Le texte est issu d’un travail de terrain mené au Burkina Faso en 2008 et 2009 dans le cadre de notre thèse.

Diagnostic de securite d'une entreprise bresilienne a partir de l'analyse des accidents du travail par la methode de l'arbre des causes

We present here the results of a study of 21 work-related accidents that occurred in a Brazilian manufacturing company. The aim was to assess the safety level of the company to improve its work accident prevention policy. In the last 6 months of 1992 and 1993, all accidents resulting in 15 days' absence from work, reported for social security purposes, were analyzed using the INRS causal tree method (ADC) and a questionnaire completed on site. Potential risk factors for accidents were identified based on the specific factors highlighted by the ADC. More universal trees were also compiled for the safety assessment. Three hundred and thirty specific accident factors were recorded (man of 15.71 per accident). This is consistent with there being multiple causes of accidents rather than the assertion of Brazilian business safety departments that accidents are due to 'dangerous' or 'unsafe' behavior. Introducing the idea of culpability into accidents prevents the implementation of an appropriate information feedback process, essential for effective prevention. However, the large number of accidents related to 'material' (78%) and 'environment' (70%) indicates that working conditions are poor. This shows that the technical risks, mostly due to unsafe machinery and equipment are not being dealt with. Seventy-five potential accident factors were identified. Of these, 35% were 'organizational', a high proportion for the company studied. Improvisation occurs at all levels, particularly at the organizational level. This is, thus a major determinant for entire series of, if not most, accident situations. The poor condition of equipment also plays a major role in accidents. The effects of poor equipment on safety exacerbate the organizational shortcomings. The company's safety intervention policy should improve the management of human resources (rules designating particular workers for particular workstations; instructions for the safe operation of machines and equipment; training of operators, etc.) and introduce programs to detect risks and to improve the safety of machines and equipment. We also recommend the establishment of a program to follow the results of any preventive measures adopted.

Les ornements dans l'architecture: comment préserver la mémoire du travail des artisans et des artists

This paper deals with one aspecto f a survey which has been carried out for my doctorate thesis, and with parto f what I have studied within the thematic Project FAPESP concerning the presence of foreign professional in São Paulo, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Ana Lúcia Duarte Lanna, between 2007 and 2011. My purpose is, starting from those thoughts , top ut in evidence the potential of sources and reports relating to the work porocesses of craftsmen and artists decorators linked with the environment of architectural practeces and the decoration of interiors in the first half of the XXth century. That preoccupation has accompanied me since the beginnings of my doctorate work, devoted to the study of the production, the circulation and the modes of appropriation of ornaments in teh field of architecture.
