Mémoire et images du travail dans les parfumeries grassoises (1900-1950) : les clichés du genre
No full textIn the first half of the 20th century, the perfume industry in Grasse sought to preserve its image anchored in a traditional production process while adjusting to the new industrial technologies of the period. Using as sources postcards, movies and photographs, the author explores the weight of gendered task divisions from the picking of flowers to packaging, revealing the changing gendered contours of shops, businesses and, indeed, the whole sector. The study focuses on the interactions between these images, showing how social representations influenced their production and the a posteriori reconstruction of a collective memory and identity by the former workers of the perfume industry. The comparison between oral history, written sources and iconography reveals how gender conditioned the history of the fragrance industry

Mémoire et images du travail dans les parfumeries grassoises (1900-1950) : les clichés du genre
No full textLa parfumerie grassoise, dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, doit composer avec l’introduction de nouvelles techniques et de nouveaux modes de production, tout en conservant son image de marque appuyée sur l’idée d’une fabrication traditionnelle. A partir d’un travail sur la sexuation des tâches au sein de la filière de production, depuis la cueillette des fleurs jusqu’au conditionnement, on voit les entreprises se mettre en scène, à travers films, photographies d’usine et cartes postales. Une ligne de genre fluctuante se dessine à l’échelle des ateliers, des entreprises, et de l’ensemble du secteur. Sont alors au centre de l’étude, les interactions entre images, représentations sociales qui conditionnent leur production, et mémoire collective reconstruite a posteriori par les acteurs de la parfumerie. Dans l’écart entre les sources orales, les sources écrites et l’iconographie, on peut alors dresser le portrait de la parfumerie grassoise et de l’impact du genre sur la construction de son histoire.In the first half of the 20th century, the perfume industry in Grasse sought to preserve its image anchored in a traditional production process while adjusting to the new industrial technologies of the period.

Balancing between Books and Milk Bottles : Academic Mothers’ Colliding identities
No full textThis is the beginning
Of the rest of my life
Writing or washing
Reading or tidying
Emailing or baking
Torn apart
Between guilt and career
Between motherhood and everyday life
Dedication or sacrifice
Hard work or laziness
Cooking or ordering
I must teach
I must create
Through the pores of my brain
I exist
I breathe
For her, my child
And for me
This poem, written by one of the co-authors (Joëlle), illustrates the inner struggles of a young mother returning to work as a university professor after a year's maternity leave. Writing was an inevitable way of making sense of the identity shift that was taking place within her. How to integrate this new role – being a mother – into her identity? How to reconcile this new role with the demanding role of a university professor? She was joined by Coline, the other co-author, who realized she was going through this identity struggle as well. What began as two personal journeys gradually evolved into a research enquiry as we discovered that we were not alone in the endeavor of reconciling these two demanding roles and, more profoundly, these (in)compatible identities.
Navigating the complex terrain of being an academic mother
The complicated journey of academic mothers – or those on the cusp of motherhood – unfolds as a compelling, and often misunderstood, narrative within academia. The blog “Mama is an Academic” curated by Leventon et al. (2019), sheds light on the hurdles these women face as they strive to balance their career ambitions with the responsibilities of parenthood. This online platform serves as a tribute to the diverse array of experiences that encapsulate the triumphs, challenges, and struggles of academic motherhood.
The evolution of parental identity among academics, as articulated by Van Engen et al. (2021), represents a particularly multifaceted journey for women . Balancing between this dual existence is not simply a matter of juggling responsibilities but involves a profound negotiation of self-identity and professional identity. Despite acknowledging the central role of fathers in caregiving (Allen et al., 2012), our focus remains on mothers, highlighting the unequal burden of caregiving responsibilities that disproportionately affects women, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds in academia (LGBTQ+, BIPOC, etc.).
Academic mothers struggle with disparities in workload distribution compared to men. Babcock et al. (2022) suggest that women are significantly overburdened with non-promotable work: they are 44% more likely to be assigned this work than men, and 50% more likely to accept it. This can lead to delayed progress in securing tenured positions, despite having commendable publication rates and producing highly quality work (Le Feuvre et al., 2019).
The neoliberal academic landscape further exacerbates these challenges, demanding relentless productivity while often lacking the necessary support structures—such as adequate childcare services and job security—to achieve work-life equilibrium, especially amid societal expectations and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (Blithe, 2022; Davies & Petersen, 2005; Yerkes et al., 2022). As a result, women are often torn between pursuing an academic career and starting a family, often choosing to delay motherhood in order to stabilize their careers, with some ultimately remaining childless (Hewlett, 2002; Lorenti et al., 2024; Mendez & Watson, 2024). This dilemma underscores the sacrifices women may have to make when choosing between academic advancement and motherhood. This highlights the need for supportive narratives that promote the viability of academic motherhood.
Focus on the identity of the academic mother
Both academia and motherhood are greedy institutions that require unwavering commitment, ceaseless effort, and deep dedication. Ward and Wolf-Wendel (2012) describe how academic mothers often practice “satisficing”—a series of compromises essential to synchronizing their roles as academics and mothers, managing the intricate balance between books and milk bottles, and between university and home. Both identities can be thought of as “performance,” which means performing consistently under the scrutiny by others. For example, mothers feel the pressure to be “flawless,” or to maintain a certain way of presenting themselves in public and private spaces. As they navigate between these pressures, they must also perform figures of authority and power as academics, although having feelings of inadequacy, such as the pervasive imposter syndrome (Bostock, 2014). This highlights the intersection of personal and professional identities that is often overlooked in traditional research – as Miller (2007) suggests by the title of her article: “Is this what motherhood all about?”
Research tends to focus more on structural and practical challenges rather than the development of identity itself. However, academic mothering often means experiencing significant changes in one’s sense of self, which becomes a crucial shift in one’s form of self-understanding. In the intricate dance of academic life and motherhood, they have to reset their life priorities in order to maintain their mental health (Delgado-Herrera et al., 2024). This demonstrates the importance of understanding the “self-as-mother” as an evolving one, which often involves going through crisis and tensions in daily life as academia demands a culture of performance.
Therefore, this research, through an autoethnographic approach, examines how academic moms shape, constitute, and transform their identities. What does it mean to be a mother and an academic? By focusing on the constitutive process of their complex identity journey, this research seeks to uncover the richness and complexity of academic motherhood, and provide insights into how these academic women “make sense of motherhood,” as Miller (2005) calls it, and by doing so constitute academia as a better context for being a mother as well as a professor.
A CCO account for collective autoethnography
Inspired by our previous personal writings and joint discussions, we are conducting a collaborative autoethnography that explores how we, as academic mothers, make sense ofour lives through the lenses of their different identities, and how these identities collide in everyday situations. This autoethnographic approach is coupled with the Communicative Constitution of Organizations (CCO) to better understand how people constitute and redefine their identities in the interactions, with themselves or with others, depending on what they experience as struggles or challenges (Chaput & Basque, 2022), what Delamont (2009) calls their “small crises.”
Autoethnography is a qualitative research method that uses data, in the form of a personal narrative that can take many shapes, about self and context. However, if this self-centered approach has been criticized, it is also acknowledged that personal experience can provide a new and unique vantage point from which to contribute to science. But if autoethnography is considered in its interpretive dimensions—as acts of meaning for the self (Bochner, 2012; Denzin, 2014)—it has “tremendous potential for building knowledge.” Coupled with a CCO approach, it provides the theoretical distance that can lead to renewed understanding of the constitutive dimension of identity struggles.
From a research standpoint, collaborative (auto)ethnography involves an iterative and reflective process in which participants gain an understanding of the connection between self and other through discussions (Allen et al., 2012). This methodology facilitates an in-depth exploration of participants’ personal and professional experiences, thereby fostering a more nuanced understanding of identity-related challenges. Particularly, collective biography can “make visible, palpable and hearable the constitutive effect of dominant discourses…and open both ourselves and discourse to the possibility of change” (Davies & Gannon, 2006, 5).
Furthermore, the CCO approach emphasizes how communication activities materialize identities and shape identification processes, which in turn recursively affects the organization’s constitution as a coherent and structured “actor” of coordinated action (Chaput & Basque, 2022). In particular, this approach facilitates a recursive loop of sharing experience through (auto)ethnography. As Bencherki & Matte (2019) highlight, the aim is to focus on and learn from researchers' communicative practices as they are recursively influenced by the situations they both create and bring to life through their research narratives

Travestissement et paternité : la masculinité remade in the USA
No full textLes films Trois hommes et un couffin de Coline Serreau et Three Men and a Baby de Leonard Nimoy sont analysés ici de façon comparative. L’auteure explique la façon dont la version américaine fait une « re-vision » du regard attendri que Serreau portait sur les nouveaux hommes nés des mouvements et des analyses féministes. La nouvelle masculinté (non phallique) illustrée dans le film français est totalement abolie et remplacée par l’idéologie patriarcale américaine.Coline Serreau's film Trois hommes et un couffin is analysed in comparison to Leonard Nimoy's Three Men and a Baby. The author shows how the American version is a "re-vision" of the tender gaze cast by Serreau on the "new men", men born in the wake of the feminist movement and its analyses. The new, non-phallic masculinity illustrated in the French film is totally eliminated and replaced by American patriarchal ideology
Dans les pas de Michel Lejeune. L'étude des langues celtiques et des langues paléohispaniques de part et d'autre des Pyrénées
No full textInternational audienceMichel Lejeune, author of Celtiberica in 1955, introduced the first Botorrita bronze to the French scientific community by including it in his seminar programme at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in September 1973, just a few months after its discovery. Since 1985, this scholar has also been responsible for the Recueil des inscriptions gauloises (RIG), a collection of Gaulish inscriptions found in France. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the different languages and scripts of the Mediterranean basin has made him a key figure in the study of fragmentary languages. Following in his footsteps, we can see how research in this field has progressed and how it is currently being extended on both sides of the Pyrenees.Autor de Celtiberica en 1955, Michel Lejeune presentó el primer bronce de Botorrita a la comunidad científica francesa, incorporándolo al programa de su seminario de la École pratique des Hautes Études ya en septiembre de 1973, apenas unos meses después de su descubrimiento. A este mismo investigador se debe asimismo, a partir de 1985, el Recueil des inscriptions gauloises (RIG), que reúne las inscripciones en lengua gala halladas en el territorio francés. Su conocimiento enciclopédico de las distintas lenguas y escrituras del ámbito mediterráneo lo convierte en una figura central de los estudios sobre lenguas de atestiguación fragmentaria. Siguiendo su estela, puede apreciarse cómo han progresado las investigaciones en este campo y cómo continúan desarrollándose en la actualidad a uno y otro lado de los Pirineos.Auteur de Celtiberica en 1955, Michel Lejeune a présenté le premier bronze de Botorrita à la communauté scientifique française, en le mettant au programme de son séminaire de l’École pratique des Hautes Étude dès septembre 1973, quelques mois à peine après sa découverte. C'est également à ce savant que l’on doit, à partir de 1985, le Recueil des inscriptions gauloises (RIG) qui collecte les inscriptions en langue gauloise trouvées sur le territoire français. Sa connaissance encyclopédique des différentes langues et écritures du bassin méditerranéen font de lui une figure centrale des études sur les langues d’attestation fragmentaire. Dans ses pas, on peut apprécier comment ont progressé les recherches dans ce domaine et comment elles se prolongent actuellement de part et d’autre des Pyrénées
Le regain des délaissés, la permaculture sur le sol vivant
No full textPour commencer l’auteur s’interroge sur la catégorie sémantique « agriculture urbaine » : qu’y a-t-il en effet de commun entre toutes les multiples activités rangées sous ce générique ? Son approche repose au début sur l’esquisse d’une exploration de la notion au travers de plusieurs espaces comparés à l’échelle du global, pour arriver au local avec l’observation de petites parcelles travaillées en sol vivant par des permaculteurs avec qui l’auteur débat depuis des mois. La première partie dégage les premières lignes de la mise en débat de ce qui pourrait être un corpus de références ou valeurs communes, aussi bien à l’échelle planétaire, celle du « désordre global » (Coline Serreau, documentaire, 2010) qu’à la micro-échelle, celle « des solutions locales » (ibid.).Dans la deuxième partie, l’auteur analyse le sujet des espaces urbains délaissés, investis ou convoités par les permaculteurs urbains, qui s’entrecroisent avec les lieux de vie des délaissés sociaux. L’auteur croit y voir un possible retour de la forêt et le regain des lisières et marges. Il propose en synthèse l’idée que l’agriculture urbaine pourrait annoncer « une rupture anthropologique majeure » privilégiant la culture sur sol vivant et la fin du labour. Cet essai réflexif se nourrit d’échanges avec des permaculteurs urbains plus particulièrement proches de la pensée disruptive de Masanobu Fukuoka sur « l’agriculture sauvage » et le travail du « sol vivant », comme de celle des alter-architectes paysagistes et urbanistes qui ont théorisé les tiers-lieux dans la ville. L’auteur propose un autre regard des marges socio-spatiales dans la ville, spécialement des jardins de résistances à l’interstice de l’ombre des forêts et de la lumière crue et rase des défrichés.To begin with, the author questions the semantic category of «urban agriculture»: what indeed is common to all the multiple activities classified under this generic term? His approach is based on an exploration of the notion through several spaces compared on a global scale, to arrive at the local level with the observation of small plots worked in living soil by permaculturists with whom the author has been discussing for months. The first part outlines the first lines of the debate on what could be a corpus of references or common values, both on a planetary scale, that of “global disorder” (Coline Serreau, documentary, 2010), and on a micro-scale, that of “local solutions” (ibid.).In the second part, the author analyzes the subject of neglected urban spaces, invested or coveted by urban permaculturists, which intersect with the living spaces of the socially neglected. The author believes to see a possible return of the forest and the revival of edges and margins. In synthesis, he proposes the idea that urban agriculture could herald “a major anthropological break” favoring cultivation on living soil and the end of plowing. This reflective essay is based on exchanges with urban permaculturists who are particularly close to Masanobu Fukuoka’s disruptive thinking on “wild agriculture” and “living soil” work, as well as to that of alter-landscape architects and urban planners who have theorized about third places in the city. The author proposes another look at the socio-spatial margins in the city, especially the gardens of resistance at the intersection of the shadow of the forests and the raw, low light of the cleared land
