Charissou, Lise. "Management "par corps" : rencontre entre dispositions individuelles et logiques managériales dans la socialisation professionnelle des "instructeurs" LesMills®." Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019TOU30181.
Full textFar from the "sporting entertainment enthusiast" that the general public sees in him, "the" fitness teacher responds to implacable managerial logic that is all the more powerful in that, in certain contexts, they are at the heart of the construction of lasting dispositions. . To speak of "management by body", is to pose the existence of a tacit diffusion of rules, norms and values through the bodies, that is to say beyond what can be said and formally understood. This is what the thesis work has to do - focusing on the socialization of fitness teachers in the world-leading New Zealand brand: Les Mills® - through technical training in effective gestures, or an implicit diffusion of attitudes, self-presentation and well-being. More precisely, by confronting individual social provisions with the managerial logics put in place by the brand, it is a matter of grasping the terms of the "body and soul" commitment of individuals who have become LesMills® instructors. Through standardized group fitness classes, more than just a reading of physical activity and sporting form, it is a question of bringing a sociological perspective on the setting up of socializing modalities "by body". The self-service inherent in the profession of "instructor LesMills" is part of a body efficiency for aesthetic performance that induces the homogenization of the ways of acting, thinking and feeling, on individuals in search of social recognition

Full textA presente dissertação tem como tema de estudo o processo de engajamento militante. Especificamente, investigam-se condições e mecanismos que explicam diferentes formas de engajamento entre os jovens. A pesquisa foi realizada junto de duas organizações distintas: o Levante Popular da Juventude e o projeto de voluntariado Tribos nas Trilhas da Cidadania, ambos localizados na cidade de Porto Alegre/RS. A partir da discussão teórica da contentious politics e da sociologia do militantismo francesa, elaborou-se um modelo de análise do processo de engajamento, sendo o mesmo descrito e decomposto em suas condições e mecanismos básicos. Com efeito, parte-se do argumento de que o engajamento se constitui como um processo relacional, a partir de um conjunto de condições que requerem do envolvido certas disposições que envolvem interesses, crenças, valores e que possibilitem a identificação com uma “causa”, além de competências, recursos e acesso a oportunidades de mobilização. A análise parte de um ponto de vista individual para explicar de forma não individual o engajamento. Optou-se pelo estudo comparativo, com a realização de doze entrevistas em profundidade com os jovens participantes, com um coordenador de cada organização e observação participante em ações, encontros e reuniões e pesquisa documental. Como resultado, observou-se que os jovens passam a engajar-se a partir de mecanismos similares, mas a diversidade de formas de engajamento dá-se em função de características distintas da organização, tais como estruturas de mobilização, repertórios de ação e frames. A compatibilidade entre o “estoque” de disposições, capacidades e recursos dos indivíduos e estas características organizacionais é fundamental para a aproximação entre os jovens e as organizações. Por consequência, perceberam-se diferenças significativas ao se analisar a interação associativa, a socialização militante e a conexão estrutural de cada um dos grupos estudados. Assim, embora os mecanismos averiguados fossem os mesmos no movimento social e no voluntariado, as combinações entre diferentes características organizacionais e individuais oportunizariam a vivência do engajamento a partir de cinco dimensões: para os jovens participantes das TTC, a de um engajamento altruísta, consensual, pontual, individual e de continuidade. Já a possibilidade construída entre os jovens do LPJ e a organização deu-se a partir de um engajamento altruísta, conflitivo, global, coletivo e de ruptura. Com isso, as TTC cumprem um papel ao mostrarem aos jovens a situação de desigualdade social, produzindo um incômodo com a situação vivenciada em nossa sociedade e incentivando ações beneficentes, sem, no entanto, identificar um inimigo ou disputar recursos específicos. Já o LPJ, a partir de um forte processo de socialização militante, canaliza a indignação dos jovens, oferecendo uma possibilidade de inserção na organização e nas ações contestatórias, disputando recursos específicos a partir da identificação de um inimigo comum.
This subject study of this thesis is the militant engagement process. Specifically, the conditions and mechanisms that explain different forms of engagement among youth have been investigated. The research was conducted with two distinct organizations: the Levante Popular da Juventude and the volunteer project Tribos nas Trilhas da Cidadania, both from the city of Porto Alegre / RS. From the theoretical discussion of contentious politics and the French ativism sociology, an analysis model of the engagement process, describing it and breaking it down into its basic mechanisms and conditions, was drawn up, with its description and decomposition in its conditions and basic mechanisms. Indeed, the starting point argument is that the engagement is constituted as a relational process, from a set of conditions that require from people involved some dispositions concern interests, beliefs, and values enabling the identification with a "cause", besides some skills, resources and access to mobilization opportunities. The analysis starts from an individual point of view to explain the engagement in a non-individual way. It was chosen the comparative study with twelve in-depth interviews with youth participants, with a coordinator from each organization and participant observation in actions and meetings and documentary research. As a result, it was observed that young people become engaged from similar mechanisms, but the diversity of forms of engagement occurs due to different characteristics of the organization, such as mobilization structures, repertoires of action and frames. Compatibility between the "stock" of dispositions, capabilities and resources of these individuals and organizational characteristics is fundamental to the approach between youth and organizations. Consequently, significant differences were noticed when analyzing the associative interaction, militant socialization and structural connection of each of the groups. Thus, although the investigated mechanisms were in the same in the social movement and volunteering, the combinations between different organizational and individual characteristics would make possible the experience of engagement based on five dimensions: for the young participants of the TTC, there is the altruistic, consensual, timely, individual and continual engagement. The possibility built among the youth of LPJ and the organization took place from a selfless, conflictive, global, collective and rupture engagement. With this, the TTCs play a role in showing young people the situation of social inequality, producing a discomfort with the situation experienced in our society and encouraging charitable actions, but without identifying an enemy or fight for specific resources. By the other hand, the LPJ, from a strong socialization militant process, focuses the indignation of young people, offering a possibility for inclusion in the organization and in the contesting actions, disputing specific resources from the identification of a common enemy.

Full textAgainst the perception witch associates the sportive success with some innate physical qualities, we analyse the social circumstances of the athletic success. We focalize our analysis on the social interactions and the socializing processes which characterize the high level athlete's social trajectories. In order to characterise those trajectories, we focalize on the successive stages of the athletic career which are qualified in the light of a vocational inculcation and a conversion to a particular project of life. To understand those social processes, we analysis the configurations which are less or more likely to assist the construction and the activation of an habitus defined as a dispositional system less or more adapted to the objective reality of the career. Breaking the myths of the sportive success we also analyse the high level athlete's social distribution according to their class, sex and race. Indeed, families participate to the transmission and the development of the sportive capital and their availability is a discriminating factor for the development of the sportive career. The analyse of the gender regime which takes place in the world of the high level athletic competition also reveals some processes of segregation and social distinction which have an influence on the sportive involvement. The world of the high level performance is also characterised by some processes of racial identification which define several communities which boundaries are less or more vague and permeable. In this, the involvement in the athletic career is sometimes coloured of some ethnical claims and a stigma reversal

Full textThis thesis studies political participation at local level and its implications for citizen engagement in public policy. Local elected representatives want to engage citizens in governance, citizens want to be heard and to influence policy making. Thus participatory democracy and deliberative imperative are considered as an ideal for government and a best practice in public action. This thesis focuses on "offers of participation" - opportunities for participation created by authorities for citizen - in French municipalities since 1990. I argue that these "offers" swing between thwart institutionalising and continuous experimenting. Empirical data are derived from the study of policies for implementing participatory democracy in three cities of 20 000 inhabitants. I discuss the social-historical anchorage of these political-administrative constructions, the effects of their various design and the social conditions of their differentiate appropriations by citizens. I suggest a grounded theory of citizen engagement based on an inductive and multi-method approach. The analytical framework is based on the concepts of social dispositions and situations, in order to determine social conditions of patterns of participation and non-participation, as both faces of a similar phenomenon. The opportunity for an effective intermittent participation can only be understood in relation with a distanced, impeached, prevented or avoided participation. "Offers of participation" are a way to mobilise citizens on a common local interest. Though, their impact is narrowed by the fact that participation is imbedded in the system of political representation

Full textThis thesis deals with the ethnographical and sociological analyses of the modes of use of agriculture “in the social sphere”. Two Japanese and Belgian municipal actions are treated in parallel: The Centre for the Creation of Agri-rural Life (Nô-Life Sôsei Center in Japanese) launched in 2004 in Toyota City, which aims at the reinvigoration of fallow land and the promotion of the ikigai (“Life worth living”) for an aging population of permanent residents. In Belgium, the Work Training Initiative at Ferme Delsamme (Entreprise de Formation par le Travail Ferme Delsamme in French) launched in 2002 in La Louvière City, which aims at the socio-professional integration of at-risk adults through organic agriculture. Based on the analysis of forms of engagement of operators and users in their relationships of interaction and their efforts at adjustment, this thesis proposes the idea of “ethical” regimes of action that consist of a minimum number of principles for reflection and practice available to be used by actors. This thesis identified in particular the importance of two characteristic forms of these regimes: compassion (taking an infinite responsibility to address individuals in distress) amongst operators; social autonomy (the balance between individual autonomy and relational dependency based on the recognition of vulnerability and fragility) amongst users. Agricultural activity is defined here as the intermediate space supporting the combination and the performance of these regimes that are not very visible and formalized, and difficult to objectify and justify

Full textIn three decades, international conventions have become a major tool for public action in the field of the environment. They offer the double promise of action that is broadly based on agreement and a strong commitment to collective responsibility. But what is the environmental effectiveness of these commitments? Are they followed by effects? The question arises for international conventions, as for all public, international, national or territorial environmental policies. In response, widespread today's approaches that see negotiation as coordination, cooperation or market principles are lacking. Normative evaluation frameworks are essential in this context, as well as the dimensions of power and strategy. In this perspective of strategic environmental management analysis, it is necessary to carry out fieldwork that clearly enlight the announcements of collective environmental responsibility in one hand and on the other, the concrete evolutions of the state of the environment the acts that cause them. In the case of the Senegal river valley, a vast floodplain of a river that crosses four states, we have analyzed several management measures put in place to take charge of the environment (the Mitigation and Monitoring Environmental Impacts Program of Senegal River Development -PASIE, Left Bank Management Plan and Planning -PDRG and Senegalese Environmental Planning: Regional Action Plan for the Environment -PRAE and the Regional Conservation Strategy Of Biodiversity - SRCB). It shows that they are far from taking care of the responsibilities to be assumed, particularly in the context of the Ramsar (wetlands) and biodiversity conventions. The thesis analyzes in depth the causes of this state of affairs. It identifies the consequences and replaces them in the broader picture of the long-term vicissitudes of development actions whose effectiveness and sustainability are highly questionable

Full textBinding communication makes a conceptual bridge between persuasion and commitment. As part of this thesis, we sought to determine the processes underlying the effectiveness of binding communication through the elaboration likelihood model of persuasion. In our opinion, commitment, personal involvement and thoughts confidence play a critical role in this paradigm. We expected that 1 / commitment in high involvment condition would produce peripheral information processing 2 / commitment in low involvment condition produces a central processing of information. Our results show that information processing can be influenced by commitment and level of involvement. In strong involvment condition, commitment inhibits information processing wherever it favors it when implication is low. These results, reproduced in four experiments, are obtained on attitude, behavioral intention, as well as on the valence of cognitive responses. Our last experiment reproduces the same pattern of results on implicit attitude. Commitment produces increased involvement and improve confidence in one's thoughts when involvement is weak

Full textThis dissertation focuses on event-driven and performance, choreographic interventions; such interventions could either be created by cultural institutions or rise from self-organized activities occurring in public space. The main purpose of this work is to identify new spatial practices which have developed since the 80s in France, and how they are part of a gradual change in the broad spectrum of practices. Indeed, as art arrangements grew to become more and more spatially opened, new and unusual sociability forms appeared. These new forms fuelled the intrinsic dynamic of these new arrangements, leading them to be labelled as " in-between spaces ". It is thus revealed how actors' engagements are pluralized through the overlapping of different social worlds. These crossings between worlds add a great complexity to identity recognition processes in the dance world. New social, economic and corporeal practices appear at the interface of more legitimate spaces. However, by analyzing the careers from the different forms of socialization also leads to distinguishing between several types of collective actors which develop differentiated conceptions of territoriality. In this way, the competencies developed by certain dancers, choreographers and cultural intermediaries working in situ, are more (than others) the result of a real capitalization of spatial experiences which are invigorated by the embedment of different social worlds. These actors will then blur the limits of the dance job market, because their competencies will reflect professional socialisation and their engagements in different social networks in the world of dance

Full textEnrolments at the postgraduate coursework (PGCW) level are expanding both in terms of number and diversity, with Masters programs attracting increasing numbers of students from a widening range of backgrounds. Despite this, however, the individual differences literature largely fails to address learning at this educational level, or the issue of potential cultural variation. This study therefore profiled the epistemic, metacognitive and affective attributes of PGCW students at Australian universities, to profile the cohort’s disposition towards learning. An online survey measured attributes chosen to represent three dispositional domains: epistemic, metacognitive and affective. Results showed the PGCW cohort to be elite overall, but significant variation existed between both individuals and groups. Cluster analysis revealed three groups of participants that differed dispositionally, demographically and in terms of academic achievement. The dispositional profiles of the three clusters showed a clear two-part pattern of agentic and epistemic attributes. This was replicated in factor analysis, which identified two dispositional factors: agentic engagement and epistemic engagement. Of these, epistemic engagement best predicted achievement, with agentic engagement a necessary but insufficient condition for academic success. Cross-cultural comparison found that international students tended to hold less adaptive dispositional profiles, and achieved lower grades. This suggests that learners’ dispositions develop adaptively within a specific cultural context, and may not translate effectively to new contexts. This is the first study to describe the dispositional profile of a PGCW population, and the first to propose the two underlying dispositional dimensions of agentic and epistemic engagement. Although dispositional profiles varied significantly between learners from different cultural backgrounds, the two dimensions were cross-culturally consistent, supporting the idea of a culturally universal model of dispositional learning. The greater importance of epistemic engagement in this model suggests that epistemic attributes underpin successful metacognition at this level. Effective teaching should therefore address epistemic expectations explicitly, and this is particularly important for students from different cultural contexts.
