The article demonstrates how Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) geographic headings for the Southern Levant mirror the political investment of Congress and the American public in Middle East politics over the last thirty years. The headings' evolution as well as Library of Congress rules governing their creation is charted in detail. These LCSH headings contrast markedly with those established in other national libraries (BnF, DNB) and independent value vocabularies (TGN, GeoNames), and global opinion regarding the legal status of the occupied territories. I sketch the historical context of their formation and offer suggestions as to how libraries can "decolonize" their metadata in service of Sanford Berman's "access and equity."
This article aims to develop a framework for analysing the political sociology of emigration. The article focuses on the dual nature of the migration phenomenon: immigrants are also emigrants, foreigners in the legal sense are also citizens, foreigners in the social sense are also nationals, the exclusion from receiving societies are also members of the societies of origin. Of the issuing company, but no longer in this society, migrants are members whose cross-border connections and adaptation needs lead the issuing state to expand across borders; however, living abroad weakens their claims to belong. In the receiving society, but not in that society, they have access to economic and political resources that enable them to exercise influence at home; on the other hand, as foreigners, their rights are limited and their acceptance uncertain, a vulnerability which may increase when continued engagement with the country of origin gives rise to suspicion on the part of the nationals of the receiving State. This variety of conditions triggers interventions by issuing states seeking to protect and influence nationals residing abroad, but also to respond to the demands of these citizens outside the country and channel them in order to better recover them. However, the extension to the territory of a foreign country paves the way for the exercise of power, be it despotic or infrastructural, allowing only the exercise of influence. In addition, even limited commitments run the risk of igniting the passions of nationals, which are already concerned about the presence of a foreign population among them. ; This paper seeks to develop a framework for analyzing the political sociology of emigration. The paper emphasizes the dualities at the heart of the migration phenomenon: immigrants are also emigrants, aliens are also citizens, foreigners are also nationals, non-members are also members. At once of the sending state, but not in it, the migrants are members whose everyday cross-border connections and ongoing needs draw the ...
for political sociology, the concept of identity covers a variety of meanings and approaches, if not contradictory. Political identities can be defined as stories that give everyone the opportunity to define themselves in relation to others and to characterise relations between them and a group. In a nation, the salient 'imaginaries' they convey — and who are repeatedly the subject of questions and reinterpretations — bring people closer together and are taught to them from childhood. Europe also has a narrative, carried out by the EU's institutional apparatus and pro-European elites, but these transnational stories will then be "naturalised" within the national frameworks, and they reach the general public little. While measures to assess identification with Europe are difficult to establish, Sophie Duchesne explains that there are large disparities between countries and social groups. There is also — in contrast to initial assumptions — a positive correlation between citizens' attachment to Europe and the strength of their national attachment. ; Pour la sociologie politique, la notion d'identité recouvre des significations et des approches variées voire contradictoires. Les identités politiques peuvent être définies comme des récits offrant à chacun la possibilité de se définir par rapport aux autres et de caractériser les relations l'unissant à un groupe. Dans une nation, les " imaginaires " prégnants qu'ils véhiculent - et qui sont de manière récurrente l'objet de questionnements et de réinterprétations - rapprochent les individus et leur sont enseignés dès leur enfance. L'Europe connaît elle aussi une mise en récit, opérée par les appareils institutionnels de l'UE et les élites pro-européennes, mais ces histoires transnationales vont être ensuite " naturalisées " dans les cadres propres aux différents États, et en outre elles atteignent peu le grand public. Si les mesures permettant d'évaluer l'identification à l'Europe sont difficiles à établir, Sophie Duchesne explique néanmoins qu'on constate de fortes ...
This Working Paper builds on the scientific discourse on valuation of SSH research as well as SSH-integration in EU framework programmes and aims at summarizing the key findings from the November 2018 Austrian EU Presidency Conference "Impact of Social Sciences and Humanities for a European Research Agenda - Valuation of SSH in mission-oriented research". It deals with the topic in three instalments. First, it will discuss recent trends in research funding. Second, it provides a brief historical overview of the efforts of integrating SSH into the EU Research Framework Programme. It then adds some observations about continued challenges in SSH. Finally, it will conclude with some suggestions for SSH scholars, based on the discussions from the conference. In that regard the Working Paper is also a document for further reading for those who have read earlier, shorter texts that were published in preparation of that conference.

ISO standards belong to the field of soft law and are binding as voluntary standards. The article proposes a political sociology for their construction and implementation. It is therefore necessary to identify the regulatory plasticity of ISO standards: these texts, which are incorporated in a continuum of legislation, allow for multiple catches and broad interpretations. Their drafting format continues to work on this normative lability. Following the crowd path of biopolitics and the potential for pragmatic sociology that is attentive to information formats, the article concludes on the dual political ownership of ISO standards: both an attempt to cover all social practices and a rather loose power of constraint, precisely because of the extensive wrapping targeted. ; International audience ; ISO standards belong to the field of soft law and are binding as voluntary standards.

A theoretical posture at the interface of political sociology and urban sociology is used to analyse the collective actions of urban refugees in Central Africa, focusing on the work of framing and adjusting mobilisations to the overall humanitarian environment in which they seek to integrate. In a context marked by a political decline at State level of the issue of assistance to refugees and the emergence of the international human rights regime as a central normative production framework in the host countries of Central Africa, it is then necessary to identify the conditions for the emergence of 'collective cosmopolitics' of refugees and their ability to call into question the relationship between human rights and citizens' rights in urban areas where the boundaries between international and internal order have never been so porous and undefined. ; International audience From a theoretical vantage point at the interface between political and urban sociology, this study analyzes collective action by urban refugees in Central Africa, focusing on efforts to adjust and adapt collective action to the global humanitarian environment in which it seeks to be embedded. In a context marked by political withdrawal at State level from refugee assistance issues and by the emergence of an international human rights regime as the principal normative framework in Central African host countries, we seek to identify the preconditions for the growth of "cosmopolitical collectives" of refugees. Further, we point up their propensity to call into question the relationship between human rights and the rights of citizens in urban areas where the boundaries between the international and domestic order have never before been as porous and undefined. ; A theoretical posture at the interface of political sociology and urban sociology is used to analyse the collective actions of urban refugees in Central Africa, focusing on the work of framing and adjusting mobilisations to the overall humanitarian environment in which they seek to ...
