The author approaches the culture of institutions, both theoretically and empirically, with case studies at the French National School of Administration and the European Commission. She discusses the way institutions, through the practices and discourses of their representatives and agents, construct their territories, perform activities and define political spaces. She asks why the institution has become a place of culture, while society, as a coherent whole is a concept that fades away in the wake of globalisation. Bureaucratic cultures cannot be treated in the same way as national, social or local culture. The agents of power institutions are not the objective agents of a neutral institution. There are power relations at work. Their culture is not the expression of a system but the particular declension of subsystems inside a more complex unit. ; L'auteur traite de la culture des institutions, au plan théorique et empirique, à partir des études de cas de l'Ecole Nationale d'Administration et de la Commission européenne. Elle analyse la manière dont les institutions, via les pratiques et les discours de leurs représentants et agents, construisent un territoire, développent des activités et définissent des espaces politiques. Elle s'interroge sur la raison pour laquelle l'institution est devenue un lieu de culture alors que la société, comme tout cohérent, est un concept qui disparaît dans le contexte de la mondialisation. Les cultures bureaucratiques ne peuvent être traitées de la même manière que les cultures locales, sociales ou nationales. Les agents des institutions de pouvoir ne sont pas les agents objectifs d'une institution neutre. Des relations de pouvoir sont en jeu. Leur culture n'est pas l'expression d'un système, mais la déclinaison particulière de sous systèmes inscrits dans une unité plus vaste. .
Les populations riveraines confrontent leurs observations et leurs connaissances pragmatiques des cours d'eau avec la réalité des problèmes que celui-ci leur pose. Considérant qu'elles restent partie prenante de la gestion de l'hydrosystème, elles confrontent leurs savoirs communs à ceux des scientifiques et des administrations. Elles revendiquent une prise en considération de leurs savoirs et pratiques. Dans les conflits de gestion de l'eau, le principal enjeu repose sur la nécessité de trouver les modalités de qualifier le cours d'eau tout en permettant son inscription dans la réalité sociale.

Co-direction du projet : Isabelle Charpentier ; Patrick Lehingue ; avec Eric Darras et E. Pierru ; Democratisation, the stated objective of French cultural policies since the end of the Second World War, is the recurrent subject of many passionate debates. The observation of cultural practices, which have been the subject of regular statistical measurements in France since 1973, thanks to the surveys on the cultural practices of the French under the aegis of the Department of Studies and Forecasting of the French Ministry of Culture, attests to a continuous increase in consumption of an intellectual and artistic nature. However, these figures should not mask the persistence of major social divisions and, consequently, the very relative nature of the democratisation that has taken place, in particular for the most distinctive regular cultural practices.Beyond simply relating the different cultural practices measured, their intensity and frequency, to the social properties of the practitioners, this work questions the meaning of these links, thus combining an approach in terms of the sociology of cultural consumption and socio-cultural inequalities in access to practices and products, with the concerns and hypotheses of reception studies. Indeed, in the wake of Anglo-Saxon Cultural Studies, but also of the 'intuitions' of the French sociologists Claude Grignon and Jean-Claude Passeron, the hypothesis was formulated that the relationship between the supply of cultural products (especially those with a strong cultivated symbolism) and the structuring of the tastes, expectations and practices of the public is neither uniform, nor mechanical, nor exclusive. The social effects linked to the cultural offer - in its multiple forms - are a function of the levels of exposure of the different audiences. However, these audiences appear to be very diversely and selectively exposed to this offer, and very unequally interested in it, particularly in working-class areas and, more generally, among those most deprived of cultural ...

A City and its Planners: The Rebuilding of Beirut This dissertation stands at the crossing point of two thematics: the study of reconstructions after wars and planning history in the arabic countries. It attempts to link the contemporary changes in planning to the physical, social and political turmoil Lebanon experienced during the war years (1975-1990). It meanwhile outlines the continuities in urban policies from the pre-war time. Planners and other professionnals of the city play here a key-role. Far from being simple executants for external decision makers, they appear to be involved in policy-making. The first part deals with the post-wars transformations and projects, particularly the city-center which has araised many debates. The second part provides new materials on the history of planning in Lebanon, particularly during the time of President Fouad Chehab when the norms ruling Lebanese planning were set up. The last part studies how these norms were altered during the war. ; Cette recherche se situe à la croisée de deux problématiques : l'étude des reconstructions après les guerres et l'histoire de l'urbanisme dans les pays arabes. Elle s'attache à saisir les transformations urbanistiques contemporaines à la lumière des bouleversements physiques, sociaux et politiques que le Liban a connu durant les années de guerre (1975-1990), tout en soulignant les éléments de continuité observables dans les politiques urbaines depuis l'avant-guerre. Dans cette perspective, le rôle des « urbanistes » ou des professionnels de l'urbain est central. La recherche défend l'hypothèse que loin de n'être que des rouages entre la commande et l'intervention urbaine, cette catégorie d'acteurs participe activement à l'élaboration des politiques suivies. La première partie décrit les chantiers de l'après-guerre au Liban : celui du centre-ville est exceptionnel par la place prise par le Premier ministre R. Hariri dans son élaboration et sa mise en œuvre, comme par le débat qu'il suscite et qui met en évidence d'autres conceptions ...
International audience ; Kazakh ethnology is experiencing a profound crisis. Subject to political control ever since its emergence, it first served the administrative and expansionist projects of the Russian Empire, then the aims of collectivisation-settling and " folklorisation " of the USSR. From the 1930s. field studies in the kolkhoz were organised and controlled by the scientific establishment and resulted in descriptive works on material culture and " survivals ". Only historians engaged in lively anthropological debates of a theoretical nature on the question of Kazakh nomadism, but their diachronic analyses were not related to contemporary data. The independence of Kazakhstan has not really enabled ethnology to renew its themes or to reform its methods. Deserted by researchers and also affected by the loss of older professors, the discipline is facing an erosion of its standards and an increasing scarcity of new studies. The themes addressed are characterised by a desire to assert a lost tradition, tacitly encouraged by a nationalist climate. This approach is irreconcilable with an assessment of the effects of the Soviet experience on Kazakh society. Studies addressing the fundamental changes which have recently taken place in Kazakh society (pastoralism, lineage system) are rare. ; L'ethnologie kazakhe connaît une crise profonde. Soumise au politique depuis son avènement, elle servit d'abord les projets administratifs et expansionnistes de l'Empire russe puis les objectifs de collectivisation-sédentarisation et de folklorisation de l'URSS. Les études de terrain dans le kolkhoze furent à partir des années 30 organisées et contrôlées par l'institution scientifique et donnèrent lieu à des travaux descriptifs sur la culture matérielle et les " survivances ". Seuls les historiens firent naître de vifs débats anthropologiques théoriques sur la question de la nature du nomadisme kazakh, mais leurs analyses diachroniques n'étaient pas rapportées aux données du présent. L'indépendance du Kazakhstan n'a pas ...
