Förändringens agenter. Om skola, prevention och fostran till trygghet
Full text link[Agents of change. School, prevention and education for security]Magnus Dahlstedt and Christophe Foultier’s article investigates one in the wide range of interventions to promote security initiated in schools throughout Sweden. The purpose is to further investigate an intervention made in schools in a particular suburban area. Drawing on a theoretical approach informed by Michel Foucault and his notion of governing, the analysis focus on the ways in which education for crime prevention is operated (i.e. by which techniques), the motives for initiating such education (i.e. how the challenges are thought about) and what kind of subject that is supposed to be the result of such education (i.e. the abilities and characteristics of such a subject). The analysis draws attention to a kind of education that is based on a will to activate, a particular form of governing that promotes the motivation and willingness of the individual to make active choices and to take a stand – in the name of freedom, responsibility and security.Publication history: Published original.(Published 28 May 2018)Citation: Dahlstedt, Magnus & Christophe Foultier (2018) “Förändringens agenter.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.13068/2000-6217.9.6Magnus Dahlstedt och Christophe Foultiers artikel undersöker trygghetsskapande åtgärder inriktade mot skolan. Syftet är att undersöka en specifik intervention för brottsförebyggande fostran som har sjösatts i ett förortsområde, med avseende på hur denna fostran iscensätts (dvs. genom vilka tekniker), vilka motiv som finns till den (dvs. vilka utmaningar den svarar mot) och – slutligen – vad det är för slags subjekt som denna fostran är tänkt att resultera i (dvs. vilka förmågor och egenskaper detta tänkta subjekt har). Analysen tar avstamp i en teoretisk ansats influerad av Michel Foucault och hans tankar om makt och styrning och specifikt hur de har tillämpats på frågor om skola, lärande och utbildning. Analysen pekar på en fostran som bygger på ett slags vilja att aktivera, en form av styrning som frammanar individens motivation och vilja att göra aktiva val och aktiva ställningstaganden – i namn av frihet, ansvarstagande och trygghet.Publiceringshistorik: Originalpublicering.(Publicerad 28 maj 2018)Förslag på källangivelse: Dahlstedt, Magnus & Christophe Foultier (2018) ”Förändringens agenter.

La demande de logement social : de son émergence à son traitement : Cadre légal, organisation, pratiques des acteurs : l'efficacité sociale du système des attributions de logements sociaux en question
No full textThe study was made in coordination with a laboratory of research (LOUEST-CNRS-Paris 8 University), and the task consisted in the description and analysis of the system that manage the demand for social housing. The aim was better to understand why the demand, as it is registered, and the allocation of social housing only imperfectly reflect the needs of the population. The main question was: how can the system meet the needs of the most disadvantaged sections of the population? </p
Tradução de uma disputa : Christophe versus Pétion em La tragédie du roi Christophe, de Aimé Césaire
Full text linkEsta contribuição propõe a tradução comentada da primeira cena da peça de teatro La Tragédie du roi Christophe (A tragédia do rei Christophe), de Aimé Césaire. O texto foi publicado pelo autor martinicano em 1963 e encenado a partir de 1964. A história aborda o embate histórico entre os dois líderes revolucionários haitianos, Alexandre Pétion (1770-1818) e Henry Christophe (1767-1820), após o estabelecimento da independência do Haiti, em 1804. O ex-escravizado Henry Christophe I, autoproclamado rei do Haiti em 1811, protagoniza, na peça, os impasses políticos decorrentes do processo de descolonização para a constituição de um novo estado haitiano livre e democrático. Optamos por traduzir a cena que anuncia e ilustra, na abertura do primeiro Ato, o caráter trágico que permeia o desenrolar dos eventos.This contribution proposes the commented translation of the first scene of the play La Tragédie du roi Christophe (The tragedy of King Christophe), by Aimé Césaire. The text was published by the Martinican author in 1963 and staged from 1964 onwards. The story addresses the historical clash between the two Haitian revolutionary leaders, Alexandre Pétion (1770-1818) and Henry Christophe (1767-1820), after the establishment of Haitian independence in 1804. The ex-enslaved Henry Christophe I, self-proclaimed King of Haiti in 1811, stars, in the play, political impasses resulting from the decolonization process, for the constitution of a new free and democratic Haitian state. We chose to translate the scene that announces and illustrates, in the opening of the first Act, the tragic character that permeates the unfolding of events
Empowering the Unprivileged : The Case of Self-renovation in Disadvantaged Areas
No full textIn the 90’s; several European governments promoted the involvement of inhabitants as an important condition of success in urban regeneration projects. The dialogue with inhabitants was supposed to strengthen a collective movement in the neighbourhoods; to restore social and territorial cohesion and create a local identity among the residents of disadvantaged areas. However; a number of issues can be raised regarding this policy: the commitment of the inhabitants in the decision-making process is difficult to ascertain; especially throughout the whole duration of the project; and in relation to the management of the different stages of the project; it is not always easy to achieve consensus; etc. In particular; it is hard for the project managers to involve the most unprivileged groups; notably people suffering from a combination of social; legal and financial problems. The stake here is not simply their participation in a project; but more specifically their “empowerment”. In this framework; the methods of the French non-profit organization Les Compagnons Bâtisseurs are instructive. They provide micro solutions to people living in poor housing conditions through the conception and the implementation of a self-renovation process. The organization proposes technical and financial support so that the most disadvantaged groups can renovate their flats. However; the goal is not only to ameliorate the material living conditions; through the organization of workshops in the neighbourhood; the participation of the inhabitants in the renovation work; the coordination between the team of Compagnons Bâtisseurs and social workers; the social inclusion of the most unprivileged groups can be promoted

No full textOn an initiative of the Swedish Government, Boverket has commanded an international study of methods and practices in urban regeneration and housing policies that allow tackling urban and social segregation. The focus should be on regeneration projects that aim at:improving the quality of the housing stock,mixing housing types,renovating buildings.The purpose of the analysis was to understand the decision‐making processes, the project management, the financial contributions, the partnership engaged as well as the role of the participation of inhabitants in the process. Seven different countries have been chosen for their experience in this particular topic, notably England, Germany, Denmark, France, the United States, Canada and the Netherlands.</p
Yellow Vests in Metropolis : A Chance for Transversal Solidarity
No full textThe Yellow Vests is an urban protest movement that took off in France in November 2018. It initially contested the increase of petrol tax proposed by Macron’s center-right government. Subsequently however, it developed into a multifaceted anti-austerity movement. Due to the multifaceted nature of the protests, the Yellow Vests’ movement has fueled a series of speculations in the media, reinforced by local expressions of anti-semitic allegations, and isolated sexist and racist acts during demonstrations and protests. In particular, the Yellow Vests have been reduced to being a mouthpiece for populist claims on the part of the ‘left-behinds’ that emerged from the peri-urban areas of the French regional centers. Through the notion of transversal solidarity, this chapter explores possible mediations if not alliances of the heterogeneous ‘white’French precariat in suburban areas.</p

La place des personnes âgées dans la ville : Les nouveaux enjeux des politiques urbaines et des politiques de l’habitat
No full textOne of the most important social challenges of the years to come, considering the increasing average age of the French population, will be the housing situation of the elderly. Today only 5 % of those of more than 60 years of age live in specialized institutions, and 12 % of those over80 years old. Four elderly dependents out of five live in their home. A reflection on their living conditions seems necessary. How can we build appropriate services? How can the housing be adapted to the elderly?The article shows how keeping elderly dependants at home is a socio-medical issue that has not been taken into consideration in an adequate way in the elaboration of urban and housing policies. The difficulty of setting up a co-operation between the medical world, social housing managers, and public authorities is identified. Leaning on different local experiments of taking care of elderly dependants, the article also aimed at defining the foundations of new modes of intervention at the meeting point of housing policies and socio-medical policies. </p
