Cet article relate l'expérience en cours de la recherche « De la disqualification à la prise de parole en santé mentale. Recherche sur les conditions d'émergence, de reconnaissance et de prise en compte de la parole des personnes dites handicapées psychiques par les décideurs publics », initiée et menée par l'association Advocacy France, association d'usagers en santé mentale. Cette recherche-action consiste à faire réaliser par des personnes concernées un travail d'enquête sur les situations de communication avec les institutions. Il s'agit de révéler à la fois les difficultés de communication rencontrées par les personnes pour s'exprimer et les difficultés pour les institutions d'entendre la parole des personnes en situation de handicap psychique. Le défi de cette recherche est de s'appuyer sur les usagers en santé mentale eux-mêmes pour repérer ces obstacles et préconiser des bonnes pratiques permettant de les dépasser.

This article of reflection problematizes the relationships between phenomenology and hermeneutics as epistemic places of research work through a documentary approach built in two phases. First, the text reflects on the terminological use present in the paradigms, approaches, epistemological perspectives, and research methods, thereby identifying that there is no criteria univocity in its references and approaches about research methodology treaties. Likewise, it is evident that there are methodological proposals that include phenomenology and hermeneutics in a complementary, articulated, or isolated way without allowing precise places of understanding that allow to locate their application in research. Based on the aforementioned, the second phase proposes an individual approach to the background and comprehensions of phenomenology and hermeneutics, identifying particularities that characterize them, possible theoretical-practical differences and approaches that can be established in view of their relevance from the epistemic and methodological framework of research in human and social sciences.

Comments on Patricia Wald's (2003) article on social science's utility to judges. In reviewing Wald's work, surprise is registered at her lack of attention to amicus curiae briefs for synthesizing, digesting, & presenting social science data for judges. It is then argued that Wald's ideas have implications for the choices that political scientists make if her view that judicial decisions would be well served if judges were better able to use social scientific evidence were shared. The relevance of "who judges" in terms of background is discussed, arguing that what judges know derives from their legal & judicial education; specialist training for judges is looked at briefly. It is concluded that political scientists can make themselves more accessible as public intellectuals to judges & employ institutional analysis to help guide the construction of the legal system for the best possible legal decision making. 21 References.

Purpose
– Social science research is used to support the formulation of natural resource management decisions with accurate and timely information. Due to risk and potential impacts, this is important in wildland fire management. The purpose of this paper is to identify the respondent perceptions of a natural disturbance agent's impact on fire management in Colorado and Wyoming.


Design/methodology/approach
– The research methodology included a self-administered questionnaire completed by a random sample of respondents in three study locations adjacent to national forests. A quantitative analysis was conducted to identify attitudes about fuels management (prescribed fire) and beliefs about fire and fire management.


Findings
– Respondents viewed prescribed fire favorably and they understand the natural role of fire on the landscape. While results suggest respondents support management of forest conditions to decrease the effects of a wildfire, they do not feel that individuals have a right to expect their home to be protected from fire by land managers, nor do they agree with restricting home building near national forest land.


Research limitations/implications
– Future research should continue the longitudinal assessment of attitudes toward prescribed fires, incorporating respondent distance to the national forest or identifying respondents living within the wildland-urban interface.


Originality/value
– This paper illustrates how applied, social science research can meet the needs of agencies and public officials. Results of this paper have been presented to state and federal forestry officials, and members of an executive-level task force in Colorado studying wildfire insurance and forest health.
