Cencerradas, cultura moral campesina y disciplinamiento social en la España del Antiguo Régimen

Este artículo analiza cencerradas y rituales populares análogos, así como sus significaciones y vitalidad en sociedades rurales del Antiguo Régimen, con el objeto de participar en el debate historiográfico sobre las formas y concreciones del disciplinamiento social en los siglos de la Edad Moderna. Una perspectiva comparativa permite reconstruir prácticas populares de control moral en sociedades tradicionales, analizar su variedad y dinamismo en el tiempo y espacio, mostrando opciones de disciplinamiento ejercidas desde abajo-que articulaban culturas morales plebeyas-, así como la tensión entre los proyectos civilizatorios gubernativos y la cultura campesina en el Antiguo Régimen

Procedimentos de jogadores no jogo virtual Colheita Feliz: a virtude e a regra

This study based on moral culture research and the theoretical Piagetian perspective aims to investigate the relation between virtue and rules in the procedures of participants in the Internet game Colheita Feliz (Happy Harvest) – an Orkut application. By means of descriptive qualitative analysis, the behavior of 60 participants in the game was observed during two months. The participants’ performance ranking was analyzed according to the procedures they used. The results showed predominance of the crop stealing procedure in comparison with the crop cultivation procedure and allowed to consider that the action of stealing of the participants was not guided by the universal principles of virtue, honesty or lack of it (moral domain) but by the playing convention for the game (social domain) favoring the stealing procedure, and also by personal domain (choices) and mutual agreement among the subjects participating in the game. The data did not indicate connections between the participants’ actions inside and outside virtual and real fields with regard to stealing, and reinforced the idea that rules are conventionalized in the domain of a group and depend on social interactions by which mutual respect among peers must prevail. The data also shows that morality is not the regulatory actions in the game. The results also showed the importance of carrying out research on procedures used by computer game players since such procedures can demonstrate cognitive, moral, affective and social aspects perceived during playful interaction situations.

Post-conventional Political Cultures via Processes of Direct Democracy: Theoretical Considerations Based on Jurgen Habermas and Lawrence Kohlberg

In this article, it is proposed to differentiate political cultures in two dimensions. First, inspired by Habermas' distinction of the contents of discourse, a distinction is suggested between moral, ethical-political and pragmatic elements of political culture as well as of an element of culture of balancing interests. Second, inspired by Kohlberg's stage models for the development of the individual moral consciousness and for moral culture, a distinction is similarly suggested between two pre-conventional, two conventional and two post-conventional collective stages of political culture. It can be shown that from a normative point of view, only deliberations made in a post-conventional political culture can produce reasonable or at least fair results. Conceptual considerations indicate processes of direct democracy as the method for promoting post-conventional political cultures. The more liberty that the citizens have to formulate and trigger processes of direct democracy, the more one can expect from them to generate post-conventional political cultures.

Dénoncer les 'méchants' ? Les effets de la trajectoire sociale sur l'investissement politico-moral dans la police

Cet article montre, en premier lieu, que le degré d'investissement politico-moral des policières et des policiers dans leur métier est fortement variable. Si une partie des individus nouvellement entrés dans la police expriment un sentiment de distance sociale doublé d'une distinction morale par rapport à la population, d'autres ne s'investissement pas dans leur métier comme dans une « croisade morale » (Becker, 1985 [1963]), et estiment au contraire que les justiciables appartiennent à la même « communauté morale » (Fassin, 2011, p. 313) qu'eux-mêmes. La perspective adoptée prolonge ainsi les critiques des approches classiques de la « culture policière », qui ont démontré leur caractère trop uniformisant et leurs biais mécaniste. Parmi les études de sociologie de la police n'ayant pas adopté une telle approche, celle de W. Ker Muir (1977), pourtant ancienne, a montré que tous les policiers ne vivaient pas leur appartenance au groupe professionnel sur le mode d'une distinction morale d'avec les justiciables. Aucune autre étude n'a pourtant traité des variations dans l'investissement politico moral des policières et des policiers, et n'a donc tenté d'en fournir des explications. Le second axe d'analyse vise ainsi à combler ce déficit explicatif, en montrant que l'investissement politico-moral dans le métier dépend largement de la trajectoire antérieure des individus recrutés dans la police, en particulier des expériences de pertes de statut qu'ils ont pu subir, ainsi que du type de stratégies d'ascension sociale ou de récupération de ce statut qu'ils mettent en place.
