Le cinéma documentaire comme pratique sociale et comme expérience imaginaire de sociabilité : analyse de La moindre des choses, Ce gamin-là et Le moindre geste

L'objectif de ce projet de recherche était d'approfondir notre compréhension des liens entre communauté et cinéma, rendus possibles par et pour le film documentaire, à travers l'analyse des interactions entre le cinéaste, la personne filmée et le spectateur. L'expérience cinématographique sera analysée d'une part en tant que pratique sociale à travers la prise en considération du contexte de production des films. D'autre part, le film sera aussi considéré comme expérience imaginaire de sociabilité. Les trois films de notre corpus s'intéressent à des expériences communautaires atypiques et mettent en scène des relations fragiles et précaires avec des personnes souffrant de troubles sociaux majeurs, c'est-à-dire des psychotiques, des déficients intellectuels profonds ou des autistes. C'est à partir de l'expérience de l'apparente insociabilité de ces individus que nous réfléchirons au lien d'accompagnement ainsi qu'au concept de care qui seront envisagés, aussi, comme pouvant traduire la relation particulière qui a lieu entre le spectateur et le film. En effet, le cinéma permet l'élaboration d'une expérience relationnelle construite dans les œuvres médiatiques. Le dispositif filmique donne l'occasion au spectateur d'expérimenter des postures morales et affectives nouvelles. Nous tiendrons compte, au cours de ce mémoire, de la façon dont les choix esthétiques du cinéaste peuvent éduquer et faire évoluer la sensibilité du spectateur. Nous essaierons aussi de souligner les différents jeux de pouvoir et d'influence entre les trois instances que sont le cinéaste, la personne filmée et le spectateur. Après avoir décrit le cadre et les enjeux théoriques du projet, le premier chapitre concernera le film La Moindre des choses (1996) dans lequel Nicolas Philibert filme, jour après jour, les pensionnaires de la clinique psychiatrique de la Borde. Ce film nous a servi de prétexte pour penser ou repenser la place du spectateur comme étant inclus dans la relation entre le cinéaste et la personne filmée et cela à partir de cette phrase d'un des protagonistes du film : « On est entre nous, mais vous aussi, vous êtes entre nous. » Le deuxième chapitre s'intéressera au film Ce Gamin là (1985) de Renaud Victor qui cherche à faire voir au spectateur ce que le projet de Fernand Deligny de vivre dans les Cévennes en compagnie d'enfants autistes a d'original et de particulier. Nous pensons que l'enfant autiste nous amène à dépasser nos expériences de sociabilités habituelles. Le lien d'accompagnement d'enfants autistes, puisque toujours fragile et précaire, révèle quelque chose sur nos façons d'avoir du commun. L'étude des médias et de la médiation est pertinente parce qu'elle nous permet de multiplier et de diversifier les modes de communications. Dans Ce Gamin-là, bien que les images permettent au cinéaste de rendre compte de l'événement d'un contact, l'accent sera mis sur l'analyse du commentaire de Deligny, puisqu'il accompagne le spectateur dans l'appréhension d'une réalité qui lui est étrangère. Ce film nous a aussi appris que l’étude des techniques utilisées nous renseigne sur les différentes façons de dire ou de montrer un lien communautaire, affectif ou social particulier. Le Moindre Geste (1971) qui permet à Yves Guignard, déficient intellectuel sévère, de devenir le héros d'un film, se distingue des deux autres films de par la distinction radicale entre les deux étapes du tournage et du montage. Le troisième chapitre se concentrera, d'une part, sur l'analyse de la relation qui se développe entre Yves et Josée Manenti à la caméra. Ensuite, nous verrons de quelle façon le jeu du montage de Jean-Pierre Daniel laisse une grande liberté à Yves, mais aussi au spectateur en multipliant les possibilités d'interprétations.

Os usos sociais do corpo na "praia carioca do Pepê"

Quando o campo é a “Praia Carioca do Pepê” e os “Usos Sociais do Corpo”, a forma de “distinção” em relação às classes sociais na construção da disposição estética, no gosto, consumo, estilo de vida e nos hábitos de classe. Através deste “estudo de campo”, procurei captar as representações que os indivíduos fazem de seus corpos na “Praia Carioca do Pepê” ao confrontar com a realidade apresentada a mim nesse espaço da praia investigado. Com isso busquei averiguar se existe um imaginário social do “corpo” e como esse imaginário aparece nesse espaço da praia.

Imagens do medo na mídia: uma análise das representações da violência em Natal-RN

Social violence is one of the phenomena of human life that produce effects on the social imaginary as it is in it that are designed conflicting values concerning what is most vital to humans, such as respect for the strength and the fear of death, pleasure trespass for injury and pain, the rejection of injustice and anger that is born of revolt. The variability of feelings and reasons that constitute violence has required academic knowledge increasingly sensitive reflections that encompass the complexity of its manifestations. The feeling of fear and insecurity which constitute the collective social imagination has caused large changes in the behavior of both individuals and the society as a whole. This study aims to reflect on media representations the social violence in Natal-RN. Through a thematic survey and documentary analysis of three newspapers of Rio Grande do Norte - Tribuna do Norte, Novo Jornal and Jornal Metropolitano - was possible to list events and trace different discursive strategies that lead to receptors ideological interests of class, constitute social and spatial segregations and maximize violations of rights and of the human dignity, with important implications in the construction of social representations concerning the reality of violence

Saberes e práticas em experiência de construção da sustentabilidade no meio rural nordestino

The purpose of this work is to analyze the knowledge relationships that articulate in projects of maintainable rural development construction for the paraiban semi-arid, analyzing the farmers daily practices and their relationship with the technological practices spread by ONGs. We took as empirical object the rural community of Lajedo de Timbaúba, municipal district of Soledade-PB, located in the very small region of paraiban Curimataú. It is a community where registers one of the first cases of maintainable rural development planning in the state of Paraíba. The analysis was centered on the farmers experiences of life in sustainability experience, trying to understand how they acquire new knowledge and how they interact with them. In methodological terms, it was considered feasible to place the knowledge interaction between the farmers and technicians from ONGs by placing the analysis according to Paulo Freire s questioning (2006): extension or communication? To understand the farmers daily practices, it was resorted to the theoretical contribution by Michel de Certeau (2008) in order to discern a microresistance movement of inversion/rejection/changing by the farmers in relation to their external knowledge. Just from the theoretical point of view and resorting to the imaginary social by Cornelius Castoriadis (1982), it was considered the way of living of the farmers researched, having as reference the experience in the material and symbolic production of their lives. It became indispensable, therefore, not to dissociate the knowledge relationships between farmers and technicians from ONGs from the sustainability concepts, maintainable rural development, and rural extension. The results of the study revealed that the farmers from Lajedo de Timbaúba while dealing with the technological practices proposed by ONGs that work in the community, express those practices from their daily logic, and they constitute them in survival strategies that are inserted in their own idiosyncrasy. It was verified, therefore, that the external knowledge presented by the proposals of sociability alternatives with the droughts in the perspective of maintainable development while placed in the farmers daily relationship, they are judged as advantageous or disadvantageous when they are confronted with their peculiar way of doing their daily work. The technological practices are incorporated, denied, or recreated starting from evaluative criteria related to the preservation of the soil and to the economical and social reproduction of the unit of production of family agriculture

The Social Imaginary of Culture/Civilization in the Arabic Literary Tradition

Charles Taylor’s contribution to social imaginaries offers an interpretive framework for better understanding modernity as secularity. One of its main aspects is conceiving of human society in linear, homogenous time (secular time). Looking into the Arabic intellectual tradition, I will argue in my paper that Taylor’s framework can help us understand major social and intellectual transformations. The Ottoman and Arabic modernization process during the 19th century has often been understood by focusing on certain core concepts. One of these is tamaddun, usually translated as “civilization.” I will be mostly talking about the works of two “pioneers” of Arab modernity (which is traditionally referred to as an-nahḍa, the so-called Arab Renaissance): the Syrian Fransīs Marrāsh and the Egyptian Rifāʿa aṭ-Ṭahṭāwī. First I will focus on Marrāsh’s didactic novel “The Forest of Truth” (1865), as it offers a complex view of tamaddun, which has sometimes been construed as merely a social and political reform program. The category of "social imaginary,” however, is useful in grasping the wider semantic scope of this concept, which is reading it as a signifier for human history conceived of in secular time, as Taylor defines it. This conceptualization of human history functioning within the immanent frame can also be observed in the introduction to “The Extraction of Pure Gold in the Description of Paris” (1834), a systematic account of a travel experience in France that was written by the other “pioneer,” aṭ-Ṭahṭāwī. Finally, in translating tamaddun as “the modern social imaginary of civilization/culture,” the talk aims to consider this imaginary as a major factor in the emergence of the “secular age.” Furthermore, it suggests the importance of studying (quasi-) literary texts, such as historiographical, geographical, and self-narratives in the Arabic literary tradition, in order to further elaborate continuities and ruptures in social imaginaries.

L' atur de llarga durada de les dones majors de 45 anys a Catalunya: una anàlisi exploratòria tenint en compte la classe social i la divisió sexual del treball

This article provides an in-depth study of long-term female unemployment in Catalonia.Long-term unemployment statistics reveal which social groups are most likely to experience difficulty re-entering the labour market. In this case, we found that women are mainly affected by this type of labour exclusion, in particular poorly qualified, working-class women who are aged over 45 and with family responsibilities.The article aims to explore how the overlapping of factors such as gender, age, social class, origin and the division of work based on gender are related to long-term female unemployment. Moreover, we were able to detect which conceptual tools provide us with the production/reproduction paradigm so as to be able to analyse the future of female unemployment. The methodology we used combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. On the one hand, the analysis of secondary statistical data focusing on Catalonia is useful in understanding the situation from a macro-social perspective. On the other hand, an exploratory discussion group enables us to investigate social imaginary practises among unemployed working class women aged over 45. This discussion group was held in Igualada -capital of the Anoia region - an area of Catalonia deeply affected by unemployment in the current economic crisis.

La communauté du dehors : imaginaire social et représentations du crime au Québec (XIXe-XXe siècle)

La société québécoise a, comme toutes les sociétés, ses crimes et criminels légendaires. Or, si ces faits divers célèbres ont fait l’objet, dans les dernières décennies, de quelques reconstitutions historiographiques, on connaît beaucoup moins, en revanche, le mécanisme de leur légendarisation, le processus historique et culturel par lequel ils passent du « fait divers » au fait mémorable. C’est d’abord ce processus que s’attache à étudier cette thèse de doctorat, qui porte sur quatre crimes célèbres des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles (le meurtre du seigneur de Kamouraska [1839] ainsi que les crimes commis par « la Corriveau » [1763], par le « docteur l’Indienne » [1829] et par les « brigands du Cap-Rouge » [1834-1835]) : pour chacun de ces cas particuliers, l’analyse reconstitue la généalogie des représentations du crime et du criminel de manière à retracer la fabrication et l’évolution d’une mémoire collective. Celles-ci font chaque fois intervenir un système complexe de discours : au croisement entre les textes de presse, les récits issus de la tradition orale et les textes littéraires, l’imaginaire social fabrique, à partir de faits criminels ordinaires, de grandes figures antagoniques, incarnations du mal ou avatars du diable. Ce vaste processus d’antagonisation est en fait largement tributaire d’une époque (le XIXe siècle) où, dans les sociétés occidentales, le « crime » se trouve soudainement placé au cœur de toutes les préoccupations sociales et politiques : l’époque invente un véritable engouement littéraire pour le crime de même que tout un arsenal de savoirs spécialisés, d’idées nouvelles et de technologies destinées à connaître, mesurer et enrayer la criminalité. Dès les premières décennies du XIXe siècle, le phénomène se propage de ce côté-ci de l’Atlantique. Dans la foulée, les grands criminels qui marquent la mémoire collective sont appelés à devenir des ennemis imaginaires particulièrement rassembleurs : figures d’une altérité radicale, ils en viennent à constituer le repoussoir contre lequel, à partir du XIXe siècle, s’est en partie instituée la société québécoise.

Somos patrimonio somos ciudad - marketing social del patrimonio cultural urbano: Plan del Eje Ambiental de la Avenida Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada

En la actualidad, el patrimonio cultural se encuentra inmerso en un entorno dinámico y cambiante, caracterizado por la globalización y la diversidad, que planeta nuevos retos a su gestión. En el plano internacional dos modelos de marketing han dado algunas respuestas a esto, el economicista o tradicional y el específico de las artes y la cultura. Ambos modelos se basan en una noción materialista del patrimonio cultural, concebido como producto o como recurso patrimonial, y la existencia de cuatro elementos comunes de contexto: El mercado, la organización, el sistema de información y el marketing mix. Sin embargo, estos enfoques no le son aplicables al patrimonio urbano colombiano, porque su contexto es diferente, caracterizado por una dinámica nula o de mercado inexistente, sin fuerzas de mercado que atiendan por su valoración, conservación y preservación o garanticen su sostenibilidad, que está referido a bienes de carácter público, por cuyo consumo nadie está dispuesto a pagar de manera directa, cuya tutela está atribuida al Estado y frente al cual coexiste una pluralidad de actores. Por lo anterior, un modelo de marketing aplicable a dicho patrimonio cultural, debe construirse sobre lineamientos conceptuales de mayor complejidad e hibridación, que permitan una concepción integral de aquel y de su gestión.

Museums, memories and social movements

From modernity to the contemporary world, museums have been acknowledged for their power to produce metamorphoses of meanings and functions, for their ability to adapt historic and social determination, and for their calling for cultural mediation. They derive from creating gestures which bind the symbolic and the material, which bind what is sensitive and what is intelligible. For this very reason the bridge metaphor fits them well, a bridge cast between different times, spaces, individuals, social groups and cultures, a bridge that is built with images and which holds a special place in the imaginary.

Imagined Comrades and Imaginary Protections

This paper describes the recent development of identity and community among gay men in China. It focuses both on the ways emerging forms of gay identity relate to larger ideological and discursive shifts within society, and on the ways these new forms of identity and community affect situated social interaction among gay men themselves. In particular, it addresses the question of how these emerging forms of gay identity and gay community affect the ways gay men in China understand the threat of HIV and make concrete decisions about sexual risk and safety. Among the chief tactics used by gay men in China to forge identity and community involves appropriating and adapting elements from dominant discourses of the Party-State and the mass media. This strategy has opened up spaces within which gay men can claim “cultural citizenship” in a society in which they have been heretofore marginalized. At the same time, this strategy also implicated in the formation of attitudes and social practices that potentially increase the vunerability of Chinese gay men to HIV infection.
