Les enjeux de l’individualisme (video)
Jusque dans les années 60, le modèle d’intégration sociale dominant était un modèle « corporatiste » qui assurait une place, une position garantie à chaque individu au sein de la société. Chacun était alors acteur du système, chacun était à sa place: le médecin, l’ouvrier, la femme au foyer…
Aujourd’hui cet idéal de stabilité est mis à mal: les catégories sociales sont bousculées (les ouvriers sont moins nombreux, les femmes travaillent de plus en plus),

L'ancien et le nouvel eugénisme : les leçons de l'Histoire (audio)
Très longtemps associé au nazisme, l’eugénisme est encore aujourd’hui un sujet polémique voire tabou. Science des biens nés et des bons gênes, il désigne une sélection de la race humaine afin d’assurer le développement et la prédominance des êtres jugés supérieurs.
Les manifestations de l’idéologie eugéniste sont nombreuses dans le monde, de l’Antiquité jusqu’à la moitié du XXe siècle : extermination à Sparte des enfants faibles ou malades et des ha

Femmes et droit en Islam - Sana Ben Achour (audio)
Le propos est de montrer comment, aujourd’hui, dans les pays de culture musulmane, notamment dans les pays du Maghreb, se réarticule, se construit et se noue autour de la réforme du statut personnel ou de la famille, un système de normativité où droit et religion, tradition et modernité, droits universels et spécificités culturelles et identitaires, sont en «équilibre transactionnel » (pour reprendre une formule chère à Jacques Berque). Il est donc important de retracer la gen

This panel will consider a number of complementary and competing themes around the topic of diaspora and place. Particular places, and perhaps especially cities, consist of large diasporic populations often represented as indications of cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism and conviviality. Diasporas may be formed through forced or voluntary movements, leaving behind certain places but having often powerful relationships to them, and creating new senses of place elsewhere. Ideas of diaspora, as wel
