The Marseille Transport Authority scrutinises the modernisation of the public service
Societal game, the public service has been at the heart of the French political debate and has undergone a historical transformation for two decades.

From the citizens’ initiative to the institutional partnership
In France, the scope of social action is an area of public service characterised by the involvement of actors from both the public and private sectors.

Trade unions at the “bottom of the scale”
Unions, although weakened and partly transformed compared to the Keynesian era, remain an interesting entry to grasp the different dimensions of reconfigurations of employment in western societies exposed to an advanced stage of capitalism. It is in this context that the decision is made to deal wit...

Cross and Across the City: About the Interview with Bahia
The interview with Bahia reminds me of the work that I did on the “worlds of ethnicity” (Boubeker 2003), and more precisely on the “intermediate spaces” in the city. Conceptualized according to different research perspectives (Joseph 1991; Roulleau-Berger 1991, 2003; Boubeker and Paris 2004; Moley 2...
Chapter VI. Language and discipline
The difficulties in setting up an institution such as primary school (with the accompanying standardisation instruments: normal schools, lectures and teaching manuals, inspection, etc.) shed light on both nature and, to speak, social integration. A reading of the 1880 General Inspection Reports is s...

Au carrefour du deveni...
Public space as a procedure

The logic of situations
The problem of the situation that has long prevailed in social sciences was based on the idea of “defining the situation”: to act effectively, a rational subject must select and analyse the conditions for its action, interpret its environment and circumstances, and order its impulses and attitudes....
The ontology of social reality. Reply to Barry Smith
In his reply to Barry Smith, John Searle noted three errors in the interpretation of his work by his colleague. The first concerns the formula ‘X counts for Y’, which is its main means of analysis: that formula is useful not because it forms part of the definition of social objects, but because it m...
Cognition and information in society

From Revolution to Raison
If the coup d’état of 9 Thermidor (27 July 1794) did not mark the end of the French Revolution, he nevertheless announced the premisses.
