La Chose nue : parité, restitution, spectre
No full text“Disappearance” is at the heart of the studies and novels of Hadrien Laroche, who reexamines for us “the thing” in the work of Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Meyer Shapiro. We are familiar with the discussion around Van Gogh’s shoes, a still life lively enough to give rise to some very keen, contradictory interpretations. In introducing the Marquis de Sade into the game, the author allows us to broach the delicate question of the human being’s treatment as a thing by both artists and philosophers.La disparition est au cœur des études et des romans de Hadrien Laroche qui revient pour nous sur « la chose » chez Heidegger, Derrida et Schapiro. Nous connaissons la discussion autour des Souliers de Van Gogh, nature morte suffisamment vivante pour susciter des interprétations contradictoires d’une grande vivacité. En introduisant Sade dans le jeu, l’auteur nous permet d’aborder la question délicate du traitement de l’humain comme chose par l’artiste et le philosophe
À propos du populisme
No full textcontribution à un site webOn the basis of a reading of seven books devoted to populism, the author discusses the various ways in which philosophers, political scientists and historians have approached the phenomenon. He addresses the thorny question of how populism is to be defined and the relationship between populists and democracy. He also examines how social scientists position themselves with regard to populism and argues for respecting value neutrality when addressing the topic.À partir d’une lecture de sept ouvrages consacrés au populisme, l’auteur discute différentes approches de ceux-ci proposées par des philosophes, des politistes et des historiens. Il s’intéresse à la question épineuse de la notion de populisme et aux rapports qui s’établissent entre les populistes et la démocratie. Il examine le positionnement qu’adoptent les chercheurs en sciences sociales par rapport au populisme et plaide en faveur du respect de la neutralité axiologique
Sociologie de l’action organisée et analyse des politiques publiques : deux approches pour un même objet ?
No full textPublic policy analysts and organisation sociologists often look at the same objects. The author undertakes a comparison of their respective methodological approaches on three dimensions : how they construct their objects of research ; how they mobilise and lead field studies ; what characteristics of public action does each approach reveal ? While stating the existence of complementarities among the two perspectives on the two first dimensions, she stresses a higher degree of non-compatibility on the third one. Indeed, the latter deals with the role and the centrality recognised to politics and policies in modern societies.Partant du constat qu’analystes des politiques publiques et sociologues de l’action organisée s’intéressent souvent à des objets similaires, l’auteur propose de comparer leurs approches méthodologiques respectives en se centrant sur trois dimensions : la construction des objets de recherche ; la place, l’utilisation et la conduite des enquêtes empiriques ; les caractéristiques de l’action publique que révèlent l’une et l’autre perspective. Elle conclut en mettant en avant la complémentarité des deux approches sur les deux premières dimensions, mais souligne un plus fort degré d’incompatibilité sur la troisième parce qu’elle met en jeu la place et la centralité reconnue au politique par les différents analystes

A Democratic conception of privacy
No full textInternational audienceThis book is based on my doctoral thesis. Although it is usual to publish one’s thesis first, it was only after publishing On Privacy for Routledge that I also decided to publish my thesis. I have published many academic articles on privacy since 1997, but there are still aspects of my original research on privacy which strike me as novel and which I hope may be helpful to others interested in the philosophy of privacy, although I have left the original references and bibliography as they are. For example, the thesis contains an extended comparison of the personal and political aspects of our interests in privacy and their role in identifying privacy as a distinctive value and justifying it as a distinctive legal right. Although the comparison between our personal and political interests in privacy can be found in my later work, the thesis provides a more sustained discussion of these different aspects of privacy, and of their relationship and importance for a distinctively democratic interpretation of privacy. Likewise, my thesis contains a chapter dedicated to the relationship between women’s claims to privacy and their interests in abortion as well as childbearing. It also contains a discussion of women’s personal and political interests in abortion and of their importance for a democratic commitment to the equality of men and women. While my subsequent publications on privacy extend and deepen ideas which can be found here – relating them to debates over freedom of the press, private property or neuroscience, for instance – there are aspects of my original research which I have not had the opportunity to revisit but which, I hope, may still be of interest to others
