Abstract

L'ouvrage dresse un bilan des changements intervenus dans la société française, depuis les années 1960, en matière de vie privée, de vie de travail et de croyances symboliques (religion, politique, etc.). Il les rattache à trois processus ayant connu, dans la dernière période, des développements significatifs : le processus d'émancipation des femmes, le processus de rationalisation économique et le processus de privatisation des croyances. Il en propose l'interprétation suivante : les formes antérieures d'identification des individus (culturelles, statutaires…) ont perdu leur légitimité et les formes nouvelles (réflexives, narratives…) ne sont pas encore pleinement constituées ni reconnues. Ce constat de crise est lié à une conjoncture économique, politique et symbolique particulière : globalisation des échanges et montée d'une nouvelle économie, remise en cause des États-nations et effondrement du communisme « réel », diversification des formes de vie privée et de rapports entre les sexes. Cette conjoncture tend à exacerber les questions identitaires et à multiplier les crises existentielles. Ces difficultés à se définir soi-même et à définir les autres, à faire des projets et à les faire reconnaître, à mettre en mots les trajectoires personnelles et les histoires collectives s'expliquent par la traversée d'une phase critique de la dynamique des sociétés modernes, déjà bien repérée par Max Weber, il y a près d'un siècle : celle au cours de laquelle les identifications défensives, de type « communautaire », bloquent l'émergence d'identifications constructives mais incertaines, de type « sociétaire ». Qu'il s'agisse des notions de « sujet apprenant » à l'école ou de « compétence » dans l'entreprise, de révélation amoureuse dans la vie privée ou d'engagement authentique dans la vie publique, ces nouveaux « modèles d'individualité » se heurtent à la montée de crises identitaires particulièrement aiguës.

Abstract

Ethnic Europe examines the increasingly complex ethnic challenges facing the expanding European Union. Essays from eleven experts tackle such issues as labor migration, strains on welfare economies, the durability of local traditions, the effects of globalized cultures, and the role of Islamic diasporas, separatist movements, and threats of terrorism. With Europe now a destination for global immigration, European countries are increasingly alert to the difficult struggle to balance minority rights with social cohesion. In pondering these dilemmas, the contributors to this volume take us from theory, history, and broad views of diasporas, to the particularities of neighborhoods, borderlands, and popular literature and film that have been shaped by the mixing of ethnic cultures.

Abstract

'We are more alike than we are unalike. But the way we are unalike matters. To be male in Saudi Arabia, Jewish in Israel or white in Europe confers certain powers and privileges that those with other identities do not have. In other words identity can represent a material fact in itself'. Gary Younge demonstrates, in his urgent and brilliantly illuminating new book, that how we define ourselves affects every part of our lives: from violence on the streets to international terrorism; from changes in our laws to whom we elect; and, from our personal safety to military occupations. Moving between fascinating memoir and searing analysis, from beauty contests in Ireland to the personal views of Tiger Woods, from the author's own terrifying student days in Paris to the truth behind the Danish cartoons controversy, Gary Younge makes surprising and enlightening connections and a devastating critique of the way our society really works.

Abstract

"In the 1970s and 80s, identities seemed to be 'fixed' or 'socially constructed' through categories of class, 'race', ethnicity, gender, sexualities and religion as they were passed from one generation to the next. These days we are much more able to choose who we want to be. We have begun to recognise the diversity, fragmentation and fluidity of identities, but how do we create and shape our own? Embodying Identities shapes a new language of social theory that allows people to embody their differences with a sense of dignity and self-worth, enabling them to come to terms with the complexities of their lived identities in a post-modern globalised world. The book recognises that we have to understand the networks of complex affiliations and belongings that shape identities. It draws on diverse traditions within classical social theory that have emerged from Marx, Weber and Durkheim, as well as more recent traditions of critical theory and post-structuralism, to illuminate transitions from the modern to the post-modern. Using contemporary examples, Embodying Identities will be of interest to sociology, politics, social work, philosophy and cultural studies students. It will also be of value to social work practitioners and anyone attempting to understand how we form and live our complex and embodied identities"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Classed Intersections examines the salience, transformation and tension of class analysis at a crucial juncture when class investigation is returning to and reinventing sociological agendas. The contributors, including both established and emerging academics, examine class as produced through combined social, cultural and economic practices. They are clear not to reify class over and above other paradigms; instead a number of key intersections are foregrounded including gender, ethnicity and sexuality.
