The article seeks to generalize the results of the dealingwith the motivation of citizens'participation in civic societyorganizations in the aspect of collective motives.Participation is viewed as the act of society members'taking part in making decisions, and motivation is understoodas the determination of activity or stimulation to act. Thus,motivation being a secondary derivative with respect tomotive, its perception needs motives identification.Researchers state that "latent" participation potentialis characteristic to most citizens, however, only somescientists have asked who/what stimulate them to participate.The answer of the representatives of behavioral and socialsciences to the question why people take part in collectiveactivities is based on the theory of classical games(decisions): people act for the collective's benefit onlywhen they are personally interested in this or that activity.Although self-interest is an important motivating factor,however, it is not the only one as most researchersconsider. There is less argument upon the issue of othermotives except self interest.The theme has been selected because motivationincluding the perception of civic participation (embracingboth political and non-political participation) and itsconceptual empirical study is not known by the authors,however, some separate areas, e.g. political, voluntary orsimply activity aimed at common benefit and motivationissues are often in the focus of discussions. The researchand its results are presented in this article. The research isbased on the triangularity conception combining a descriptivetheoretical analysis and an interactive interview as well asa written questioning and an expert interview as anadditional method.Quantitative research is based on Simmons andBirchall mutual stimuli theory (MST). This methodologyhas been used in investigating participation motivation inLithuania. Simonons and Birchall have been interested instimuli and approach to participation motivation.

This presentation will discuss the intransigent perspectives of August Wilson and Robert Brustein on the topic of color-blind casting in American theatre and the controversies that have followed their disagreement. The quarrel between Wilson and Brustein was positive in that it pinpointed many issues regarding race and the arts. Unfortunately it was also a vexatious conversation. Wilson believed that Black theatre in its essence serves the purpose of empowering African American culture and mitigating the obligation for cultural assimilation. Brustein, on the other hand, believed that is only through coexistence and mixing that cultures expand past their racial borders. Their conversations created considerable disarray in the governance of culture and the racial politics within American theatre.

Over the past decade, various online communication platforms have empowered citizens to express themselves politically. Although the political impact of online citizen expression has drawn considerable attention, research has largely focused on whether and how citizen-generated messages influence the public as an information alternative to traditional news outlets. The present study aims to provide a new perspective on understanding citizen expression by examining its political implications for the expressers themselves rather than those exposed to the expressed ideas. Data from a national survey and an online discussion forum study suggest that expressing oneself about politics provides self-reinforcing feedback. Political expressions on social media and the online forum were found to (a) reinforce the expressers' partisan thought process and (b) harden their pre-existing political preferences. Implications for the role the Internet plays in democracy will be discussed.

Observers of the Israeli society in the 1950s and 1960s have characterized its political structure as centralistic, with a very large public sector and with relatively little activity taking place outside it or without its consent. There are indications that since the early 1970s, certain structural changes have been taking place, whereby the centralistic nature of the society is giving way to a more open and tolerant atmosphere towards political, social and voluntary organizations, with a greater degree of independence from the public sector. It is argued that the develop ment of the Self-Help Awareness is a reflection and an expression of these changes and the self-help phenomenon has to be understood within this societal context. Findings from a recent survey of self-help groups in Jerusalem show that there were over 30 such groups in a variety of fields. The data also shows that most groups were new and fragile. Implications of these findings are discussed.

This research works of this PhD is about the new form of citizen expression, it leads to interrogate the political and numerical articulation, in the conflictual process of qualifying/disqualifaying online political discourse. In front of usual critics against modern democracy, we are trying in a first time to put in light the deficiencies and the natural and structural problems it set up for Citizen representation. While internet is oftenly conceive as a new public space able to breathe a democratic renewal, we apprehend it as a device of struggle for the visibility of social actors, in their ideas but also underlied ideology. Comments published on the Facebook page of 2013 named "Soutien au bijoutier de Nice", are the principal study material we analyze with a mixed methodology of lexicometry and discourse analysis. From a heuristic approach, we observe a first enunciative tension between the individual staging of self-exposure and the attempts to found a shared identity. The debate which gathers from subjects of polarized discussions and concentrated interactions reveals a strong emotional charge which is reflected globally throughout these exchanges: expressivity, mockery and verbal violence. The latter respond to socio-political issues for their recognition: in terms of notoriety, reputation, legitimacy, truth / veracity. This majority discourse, which we also characterize, by certain traits of "discourse of the moral order", denotes a new way of "saying" politics, which consists in getting rid of overarching general considerations in order to reconsider the narratives of life, everyday narrations and testimonials. They would dress almost in an "apolitical" speech, often proudly displayed as "anti-political", but which remains resolutely political. This apolitical trend is also one of the caracteristics of a new online audience, the meso-group: a collective medium, pro-reactive and corporatist, difficult to identify. ; Le travail de recherche de cette thèse porte sur les nouvelles formes de l'expression ...
