The article presents the internal aspects of the social sub-system of non-profit and voluntary associations in France, whose members are people holding Polish and dual Polish-French citizenships as well as French people of Polish origin and who pursue the goals related to the presence of the Polish immigrant and post-immigrant communities in France. In relation with these organisations, the article provides answers to the following questions: 1) What are their decision-making structures? 2) How mobile are the members within the structures and where does the mobility stem from? 3) What is the cooperation like between the movers and shakers in a specific organisation? The conclusions have been based on data from five case studies and 48 individual in-depth interviews revolving around typologically diverse associations plus data obtained in the course of an institutional opinion poll, carried out among Polish immigrant organisations with an online CAWI questionnaire completed by members of the Polish diaspora in France.
Podobnie jak Émile Durkheim w B ordeaux, tak Florian Znaniecki w Poznaniu stworzył własną szkołę socjologiczną. Pojęcie to odnosi się w tym przypadku do dydaktycznej, badawczej, naukowej i organizacyjnej działalności F. Znanieckiego i jego współpracowników w latach 1920–1939 podejmowanej przez nich przede wszystkim w ramach dwóch niezależnych instytucji: Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego i założonego w Poznaniu Polskiego Instytutu Socjologicznego. Poznań stanowił centrum działalności szkoły, jednak jej oddziaływanie było dalece szersze. Przejawiało się w inicjatywach integrujących różne środowiska socjologiczne w Polsce, utrzymywaniu kontaktu z innymi ośrodkami akademickimi w Europie i w Stanach Zjednoczonych, a także w podejmowaniu pracy naukowej lub zakładaniu własnych instytutów badawczych w nowych miejscach w Polsce i poza jej granicami przez wychowanków F. Znanieckiego. Artykuł wskazuje na wybrane najważniejsze cechy poznańskiej szkoły socjologicznej, do których zaliczyć można przyjęcie reprezentowanego przez F. Znanieckiego poglądu na przedmiot socjologii oraz wytworzenie się bliskiej więzi między nim ("Mistrzem") a jego uczniami i współpracownikami. W końcowej części artykuł przedstawia niektóre szczegółowe kwestie, których wyjaśnienie pozwoliłoby lepiej zrozumieć charakter rozwoju szkoły Znanieckiego, a w szerszym ujęciu – socjologii polskiej i jej związków z socjologią europejską i amerykańską.
The paper presents two sociological approaches to the migration experience. In the first approach, which corresponds to Georg Simmel's essay The Philosophy of adventure, migration is regarded as an adventure. In the second approach, which was particularly explored by Abdelmalek Sayad (La double absence), migration is experienced as an exile. However, "adventure" and "exile" describe two different model situations of the migrant's experience; they both cause the presence of homesickness and the lack of feeling that the inhabited space is a new home. This is why the migrant's experience of adventure or of exile is treated in the paper as a challenge for every city policy. In the context of contemporary theories (like the metamodernism of Vermeulen and van den Akker), the author of the paper presents the propositions of urban policy which could meet the migrants' needs and make them real members of the urban community.
Abstract The article applies to three autobiographical novels written in the 1980s and 1990s by citizens of France, second generation Algerian immigrants. The authors of these novels widely relate to their own experience of life in the suburbs of French cities. The protagonists are young people who on the one hand feel French and demand acceptance, and on the other experience acts of discrimination. Moreover, their relationship to traditional Algerian culture is also ambivalent. The place with which they identify themselves is not France, in spite of the citizenship, nor Algeria, in spite of the origin, but their own district, which is a place where they live their everyday life. The author of the article analyzes the chosen novels through the perspective of the republican model of integration which excludes recognition of ethnic origin of the citizens. The article, referring to M. Foucault's theory of heterotopia, argues that although the novels in question sensitize French readers to the various social questions, they, paradoxically, support the typical thinking of the republican model.
"An important debate is under way in the European Union (EU) over what should be shared at community level and what should be left to individual nations. Social Europe is a key topic in the construction of the EU and its institutions. This volume examines the current state of, and perspectives for, Social Europe, as well as key issues in European social policy, including the posting of workers, the impact of the free market and regulations on social convergence, work automation, digitalisation, taxation and democracy in the workplace. The aim of this volume is to identify a course to be followed in integrating the EU's social policies and point to areas in which co-operation between member states is likely to produce best results. The concept of 'social turn' is used as a theoretical tool to describe and explain European policy in the field of social issues, with 'social turn' defined as a change in the way of thinking about Social Europe. While a Social Europe was previously seen to be a natural consequence of political and economic integration, it is now viewed as a separate area that requires active policies to preserve the European project. The EU's big question today concerns the level at which this policy should be pursued: the volume's contributors outline difficulties with harmonising social policies across the Union, but they nevertheless argue that, owing to the common challenges faced by Europe, the idea of a Social Europe must not be abandoned and requires specific action. The volume consists of 11 chapters that propose ways in which the idea of a Social Europe can be put into practice. Chapter 1 outlines prospects for developing European social policy: is this idea becoming obsolete, as some argue? The following six chapters discuss areas that require action at both the national and European levels (such as democracy in the workplace, work automation, digitalisation and taxes). Is it possible to work towards common goals across the EU while accounting for the different levels and contexts of its functioning? The next three chapters are authored by representatives of the authorities of the Weimar Triangle states of France, Germany and Poland, and shed light on the views and arguments raised in the debate on the future of Social Europe. The final chapter offers conclusions as well as a thesis whereby, as a result of the 'social turn', social policy can no longer be seen as derived from economic policy but rather as a separate driver of development that could be of interest to the northern, southern and eastern states of the EU"--
This book presents contributions from migration sociologists inspired by Florian Znaniecki's theory and the results of his studies to conduct their own research in countries like Austria, China, Greece and Poland. The authors evaluate today's migration phenomena with reference to a coherent theoretical system. The book can be used as a manual presenting the tools for examining the migration experience from many angles: a sense of national identity (ethnic and civic), family ties, the importance of the social environment in the process of an individual's integration with the society or an evolution of entire social systems within which the migrants operate

The Memory of War, the War of Memory: Social Memory of the War in Algeria in Relations Between France and the Algerian ImmigrantsThe year 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the official end of the Algerian war. The memory of this conflict and other events in France which accompanied it is still alive in French society. After many years of oblivion and lack of interest from the highest authorities, this conflict once again becomes the subject of great controversy and heated debate. The disputes focus on the four groups: the French born in Algeria, the Algerians cooperating with the French troops during the war, the other Algerian immigrants and, finally, the former military personnel serving in Algeria. Each group has its own perspective of the events, whereas the politicians try to exploit the memory of the war in the ongoing disputes concerning the integration of the immigrants and the riots in the suburbs. All of this means that even after 50 years the issue of the Algerian war is still evoking new conflicts.
