This article analyzes initial results concerning the links between Romanian and Russian ballets during the Cold War. Cooperative relations are held, sometimes challenged by defectors who prefer the West to develop their international career. This brings Romania to be considered as a suitable ground for research on ballet, torn between East and West, in the training of dancers, repertoire or ballet tours. ; SCOPUS: ar.j ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published
National audience ; In my doctoral thesis in Political Science, devoted to the literary uses of sociological knowledge in the work of Annie Ernaux (Une Intellectuelle déplacée - Enjeux et usages sociaux et politiques de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux (1974-1998), Doctoral thesis in Political Science, Amiens, University of Picardie - Jules Verne, February 1999, 849 pp.), I underlined the 'improbable position' of the writer, which is inseparably literary, social and politicalThis paper aims to present an analysis of the author's receptions by her "ordinary" readers, based on the letters Annie Ernaux received. After underlining the heuristic character of this type of material for sociology and presenting the social properties of the reader-writers, most of whom, like the writer, have experienced feelings of social shame linked to the confrontation of their culture of origin with that of the school, I endeavour to analyse the recompositions of identity that this process of correspondence with Annie Ernaux induces for the readers. ; Dans ma thèse de Doctorat de Science politique consacrée aux enjeux des usages littéraires de la connaissance sociologique dans l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux (Une Intellectuelle déplacée – Enjeux et usages sociaux et politiques de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux (1974-1998), Thèse de Doctorat de Science politique, Amiens, Université de Picardie – Jules Verne, février 1999, 849 pp.), j'ai pu souligner le «positionnement improbable » de l'écrivaine, indissociablement littéraire, social et politique. Il s'agit ici de présenter une analyse des réceptions de l'auteure par ses lecteur-rices « ordinaires» à partir des lettres qu'Annie Ernaux a reçues. Après avoir souligné le caractère heuristique de ce type de matériau pour la sociologie et présenté les propriétés sociales des lecteur-rices-scripteur-rices, ayant, pour la plupart, expérimenté, à l'instar de l'écrivaine, des sentiments de honte sociale liée à la confrontation de la culture d'origine avec celle de l'école, je m'efforce d'analyser les recompositions ...

International audience ; This article is devoted to the analysis of the socio-biographical trajectory of the Moroccan journalist and writer Sanaa Elaji. Born in 1977 in Casablanca, from an illiterate working class background, with a higher education degree, the young woman leads an independent and "emancipated" single life, and lives alone in the Moroccan economic capital at the time of the survey. Multi-positional in the Moroccan media and intellectual field, she has been a journalist in the print media: a former columnist in two French-language magazines (the women's monthly Citadine and TelQuel, the most widely read general information weekly magazine in Morocco) and in an Arabic-language daily, Assahra Al Maghribya, she then worked until 2011 for the weekly Nichane, created in September 2006, the equivalent of TelQuel in Moroccan classical and dialectal Arabic.Sanaa Elaji also published her first sulphurous autofictional novel in dialectal Arabic in 2003, entitled Majnounatou Youssou (Argana Editions), which received considerable media attention. Evoking the sexual relations of two young sisters before or outside marriage, the story places the theme of the relationship to the body and sexuality and, more broadly, that of gender relations in contemporary patriarchal Moroccan society at the heart of the reflection.Politically committed, multiplying transgressive universalist feminist positions through her writings, literary or journalistic, the interviews she regularly gives in the press or on her blog, accumulating trophies outside the literary field (she thus appears in 2006 in the "ranking" list compiled by TelQuel among "the 50 who will make Morocco tomorrow", is a member of the Young Leaders Centre of Morocco.), S. Elaji, in search of recognition, is at the intersection of several fields and networks. She presents an atypical and "in the making" trajectory in the Moroccan media and intellectual fields. However, all of S. Elaji's objectively subversive positions, in that they constitute a double ...

Party defections have increasingly become a major trend of Ugandan multiparty politics, not only for individual elites at the national level and in the parties' leadership but at the grassroots level by local party members too. These shifts of allegiance are now systematically part of the staging and imagery of President Museveni's electoral campaigns. A common explanation of this phenomenon points at the inconsistency of partisan loyalties and ideologies. It is often taken for granted that defections are expressions of clientelism, political opportunism and above all democratic immaturity and a misunderstanding of multipartyism. This paper argues on the contrary that mass defections reflect the social technology of the National Resistance Movement hegemonic rule at the local level, and the constraints for opposition parties whose structures it co-opts. They are part of the monopolisation of organisational initiatives at the grassroots level by the regime. Defections are not simply a symbol of electoral opportunism but part of a routine economic posture in a context of straddling lines between the economic and political spheres. Following up the trajectories of two specific groups of defectors from Teso over several years, this paper seeks to give precise insights on the local presence and rooting of political parties, their modes of mobilisation, recruitment, their repertoires of action, and more generally on the transformation of identities, partisan practices and political activism but also on the hegemonic ruling party's mode of governance at the local level. This micro-sociologic approach opens windows on how hegemony is built in a dialogic way with local political entrepreneurs and vote brokers. Hegemonic rule therefore also contains its own limits as it requires a permanent renegotiation with individual actors embedded in a set of local power relationships.
