Aux crises extrêmes, qui mettent en péril l'existence de groupes humains entiers, répondent des actes (interventions militaires, assistance humanitaire…) et des discours (mobilisations, appels, textes de journalistes ou de commissions d'enquêtes, travaux universitaires…). Cet ouvrage retrace comment de telles crises deviennent objets de connaissance, de controverses et d'actions. Les études de cas réunies ici — correspondant essentiellement aux années d'après-guerre froide, et plus particulièrement aux années 1990 (Rwanda, Colombie, Bosnie-Herzégovine…) — montrent comment les concurrences, conflits ou simples différences d'approche entre médias, écrivains, ONG, États, parlements et organisations internationales, multiplient les énonciations de vérités. Descriptions et controverses sont analysées afin de restituer leurs méthodes d'établissement des faits, en lisant de manière critique les récits produits, en recherchant les finalités pratiques auxquelles ces récits sont liés, en retraçant les généalogies des qualifications de violences. Parce que les controverses occupent une place importante dans le débat public, cet ouvrage restitue l'implication d'une pluralité d'intervenants et d'observateurs. Quels schèmes de perception interviennent régulièrement pour façonner les récits de crises extrêmes ? Comment, avec leurs passions et leurs intérêts investis dans ces controverses, les acteurs introduisent-ils (ou non) un impératif de vérité, des principes de réalité ?

This study presents a detailed comparison of cultural values and attitudes in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is based on survey data covering the period from the 1970s to 2003 but focusing especially on the European Values Study (EVS) as fielded in the two parts of Ireland in 1999-2000. The study confirms the deep divisions in identity and political allegiance that separate the Catholic and Protestant communities in Northern Ireland. But it also shows that on many issues, Protestants and Catholics on the island of Ireland are culturally more similar to each other than to any other national population in Europe, including Britain.

This book surveys whether and how social classes differ in their views on important social issues, such as work and family, the economy and politics, rights and morals, and the distribution of justice. What accounts for such differences in opinion? Are class differences comparable and consistent across different nations? Do class differences change over time? In The Moral Economy of Class, Stefan Svallfors builds on data from large-scale comparative surveys to paint a picture of these class differences. Comparing the United States, Britain, Germany, and Sweden, he shows that class differences are highly persistent. Class remains one of the key dividing lines in society.
