The destruction of a Synagogue Community : Polarization in a Postindustrial World |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Larry, Hirschhorn |
|
| Abstract : |
Examining a case study of a consultation to a synagogue community, this article describes how the community polarized around its Rabbi's support for the Palestinian rebellion in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. By studying both the processes of polarization and the dynamics of the consultation, the article explores how a polarized community can destroy the real and psychological public space that it needs to heal its divisions and proposes that consultants can help a polarized community revitalize its public space by providing structure and boundaries inside the consultation process itself, by facilitating conversation so that substantive differences can be explored, and by interpreting the consulting process so that inconscious fantasies and unverbalized feelings can be examined. The article suggests
that as we enter into a multicultural world where identities are negotiated, we need to develop a consulting technology that can help communities tolerate, protect, and sustain the main identities embedded in the texture of community life. |

Urban citizenship |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Nadège, Marie |
|
| Abstract : |
Since the beginning of the 1980's, the city has been the primary object of interest, concerning its association to the political link. This can be witnessed by the new city politics (D.S.Q., city contracts) which presents the city as a space in which the force of citizenship is reactivated. This is also apparent by the occurence of the notion of urbanity in recent urban social science research, a notion which defines the urban space of inter-recognition and social communication. In applying the political link theories of J. Habermas and A.Touraine, one must here select the conditions which define the city as a space of citizenship. From the territorialisation of the political link which is expressed through new city politics (urban citizenship model) as well as through urban social science research (urbanity model), we can recognise new forms of relationships to the political sphere new definitions of ourself as a member of society. This is the essential research objective from which this article originates. |

Street children : experience in Belo Horizonte |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Michel, Le Ven |
|
| Abstract : |
This study describes and analyses the experience of intervention of a political economist from the Federal University in Minas Gerais (Brazil) as a "consultant" of the Municipal Association of Social Assistance in the town of Belo Horizonte in Brazil. Starting with the analysis of a "Job Creation Programme" for "Street Children" - adolescents who go from life in the streets to working life and an attempt to live with their families, the "consultant" became
involved in a commun action with the Municipal Administrators and, above all, the "street teachers". This action is becoming a form of psychosociological intervention which is not just an isolated moment but a long task of dialogue between several social actors. |

Street children : the case of black Africa |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Yves, Marguerat |
|
| Abstract : |
Whereas traditional African society put children at the heart of its social strategies, the phenomenon of the children "of" the street (who are not under the authority of adults) is now perceptible in ail the big cities of black Africa, even if they are far fewer than the children and youngsters "in" the street (who have not been eut off from their families, or whatever serves as a family) . Here there is interference between collective and individual factors, with slight differences according to the specific social history of each town (how old urbanization and social hierarchy are, how destabilized the surrounding rural area is, etc.) However, there is a commun denominator: the breakup of the family cell, especially (but not only) in the context of poverty. In the street, children encounter hostility and exploitation on the part of adults, which drive them to be even more marginal. They can defend themselves by taking refuge in a gang and, increasingly, in drugs, which makes their social reinsertion even more difficult. Like the question, the answer must be individual : it needs someone who listens and welcomes in appropriate structures that aim, as far as possible, to renew links with the family or to create a collective structure to replace the family. |

The theatre, a place for authentic relations between Jewish and Arab towns |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Ouriel, Zohar |
|
| Abstract : |
This article aims to show how through original forms of theatrical expression, "rival" communities can leam tolerance, empathy and release creative forces. Through the meeting of two Arab and Jewish towns, over a period of several years a commun study was carried out with various stages giving rise to wider-reaching leaming. This work is part of an attempt to build a form of other life, an other world. |

Struggling to be visible: a study of a Brazilian favela |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Teresa Cristina, Carreteiro |
|
| Abstract : |
The inhabitants of Brazilian favelas are often transferred by the authorities to housing situated on the periphery of the city. At the time when one favela was being transferred, the inhabitants managed to develop a strategy which established them as partners with whom the town hall had to negotiate. In spite of the efforts involved to make themselves visible to the outside world and well conducted discussions, the inhabitants were taken in and lost, in
the new context, their former collective will. The question asked in this article is how the least favoured can lift the veil of invisibility which covers them and start up a common action. |

Tensions between owners and occupiers of favelas |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Marilia Novais, da Mata Machado |
|
| Abstract : |
The law legalizing in certain conditions the occupation by "favelados" of urban sites which belong to landowners was to facilitate the solving of conflicts between these two groups. A study, based on observations and interviews carried out over a four-year period in a central favela of Belo Horizonte founded forty-five years ago, enables us better to understand the respective representations and attitudes that condition their relations. |

Transformation of the social and educational action in Tcheliabinsk (Russia) |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Joëlle, Bordet |
|
| Abstract : |
This article presents an intervention and training led by CEMEA (Centre d'Entra?nement
aux M?thodes d'Education Active) in Tcheliabinsk (south ofUral) to help the transformation
of the social, education and leisure action of professionals in the different town areas. The
leaders of the Educational Service of Tcheliabinsk aim by this collaboration with the French
partners to define the contents of the social teacher's profession and to support the transformations
in progress in the social and educational institutions in two town districts.
This article tries to identify the way in which the social and political context influences
the characteristics of this intervention, the implicit and explicit stakes pursued by the
French and Russians, the surprises and the blind points of this inter-cultural cooperation. |

The housing scheme-universe of Martigues or the recovered dialogue of the children of the scheme |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Fayçal, Abed ; Jacques, Broda ; Sandrine, Nogalès |
|
| Abstract : |
The recovered dialogue of the children of the housing scheme demonstrates the approach of the housing scheme-universe of Martigues. It starts with the portraits that we are, that we become. We had to break away radically from the positions, places, academic and social postures : think of practice as invention and invention as creation. The housing scheme-universe is a place of elaboration, resistance and struggle. Co-elaboration of know-how, co-writing crossed by resistance and resistance to resignation : these are the ingredients of a new form of struggle and training for the struggle. We have tried to write and convey the taste for an original commitment because it goes back to the origins of our mixed memories. |

Witnessing from the inside or the "blue sun" |
|
|
| Author(s) : |
Jacques, Broda |
|
| Abstract : |
I had to write it. Even badly. That knowledge and truth are contradictory. That in order to know one must move and that seeing is understanding. (Paul Eluard). The century obliges us to found a sociology of the witness : one that states the truth of what he has seen, heard ... in himself also. But one has to be able to say it and witnessing from the inside is witnessing from the inside of the language. This sociology honours the living word, its emancipatory aim asserts itself when it coinscribes the trace elsewhere, carried by universal desire. Not leaving to others the right to
write the revised history of my life is a stake of the struggle in the field of knowledge, therefore of power. |

The recounting of the experience of a research-action carried out in a Belgian bank with a view to elucidating the problems peculiar to all policies of promotion of women and work of women in big organizations constitutes the starting point of a reflection on the possibilities for implementing a form of evolutionary socioanalysis, with a view to the author's long term project : the constitution of existential sociology. |
