Claude Lefort. La découverte du politique

Né en 1924, Claude Lefort fut l'élève, puis l'ami du philosophe Merleau-Ponty.Il fonde en 1948 le groupe Socialisme ou Barbarie qui se livre à une critique sans ambages des pays de l'Est, du totalitarisme et de la société d'alors. Mais il rompt sans cesser de poursuivre sa réflexion sur l'actualité sociale et politique. Avec Morin et Castoriadis, il se livre à une des critiques " à chaud " les plus pertinentes sur les événements de mai 68 et continue à écrire sur des sujets aussi divers que l'affaire Rushdie ou l'union de la gauche. Homme de revues, il pousse ses élèves - notamment Marcel Gauchet - à en fonder et à y organiser un débat véritablement public. Pour ce critique du totalitarisme, la démocratie agit comme une mise en scène, une mise en sens de l'espace public, lieu vide que viennent combler les citoyens. Son oeuvre, jadis dispersée et confidentielle, apparaît aujourd'hui comme un étonnant témoignage de lucidité et de précocité.

The impact of women's educational and economic resources on fertility: Spanish birth cohorts 1901-1950

In this chapter we portray the effects of female education and professional achievement on fertility decline in Spain over the period 1920-1980 (birth cohorts of 1901-1950).A longitudinal econometric approach is used to test the hypothesis that the effects of women’s education in the revaluing of their time had a very significant influence on fertility decline. Although in the historical context presented here improvements in schooling were on a modest scale, they were continuous (with the interruption of the Civil War) and had a significant impact in shaping a model of low fertility in Spain. We also stress the relevance of this result in a context such as the Spanish for which liberal values were absent, fertility control practices were forbidden, and labour force participation of women was politically and socially constrained.

Smoking trends in Switzerland, 1992-2007: a time for optimism?

Objective To assess trends in smoking status according to gender, age and educational level in the adult Swiss population. Methods Four national health interview surveys conducted between 1992 and 2007 in representative samples of the Swiss population. Results The prevalence of current smokers increased between 1992 and 1997, decreasing thereafter. In 2007, the prevalence of current smokers (32.0% of men and 23.8% of women) was lower than in 1992 (38.4% and 26.7%, respectively). Whereas the prevalence of current + former smoking decreased from 64.5% in 1992 to 59.3% in 2007 among men, it was similar among women during the same period (44.0% in 1992 and 43.9% in 2007). The prevalence of current + former smokers decreased from 47.2% in 1992 to 46.3% in 2007 in the lower education group (no education + primary), from 54.8% to 52.9% in subjects with secondary level education, and from 55.4% to 48.7% in subjects with university level education. The prevalence of current smokers decreased in all age groups. Finally, the amount of cigarette equivalents smoked per day decreased, but the amount of non-cigarette tobacco (alone or in combination with cigarettes) increased for both sexes. Conclusion The prevalence of smoking has been decreasing in the Swiss population, for both sexes and for most age groups and educational levels between 1992 and 2007. The health effects of the change in type of tobacco products consumed await further investigation.
