1	Mineworkers' quality of life in remote communities : a multiple case study in the Brazilian Amazon Costa, Silvana Dunham da 05 1900 (has links) The mining industry has long played a significant role in regional development in remote regions throughout the world. For the last two decades, the industry has faced high expectations regarding sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, particularly in remote and environmentally sensitive areas. Mining community models and mineworkers’ accommodation strategies in remote locations have varied greatly, yet there has been little documented reflection on the various models’ performance or on their implications for the quality of life (QOL) of mineworkers and their families and for the pre-existing local communities. This multidisciplinary case study research used a subjective quality of life approach to investigate the levels of satisfaction with QOL and specific aspects of QOL domains in three communities: the company town, the gate development community and the integrated community. The triangulation of data from qualitative and quantitative methods was used to examine the major QOL factors that should be taken into account by mining companies, local governments and policy makers when planning for mine development in remote areas. Findings suggest that differences exist between the mineworkers’ levels of satisfaction with specific QOL aspects and how QOL predictors are defined in distinct mining community models. Even though the case studies represent clearly different models of mining communities, in general, mineworkers in the three communities seem to be only moderately satisfied with their quality of life. It is also suggested that employees living in two almost opposite models—the company town and the gate development community—seem to have similar levels of satisfaction with overall quality of life, suggesting that the investment in infrastructure and services limited to the boundaries of the company town is not reflected in a generally improved perception of overall quality of life in this community. Findings also support the argument for an environmental and social impact assessment process for new mines in remote areas. This process should include a full and integrated consideration of the economic, environmental and social impacts of the workforce migration to remote areas and the consequent intensification of the already rapid urbanization of environmentally sensitive areas such as the Brazilian Amazon.

3	Identités religieuses contemporaines dans le miroir des droits de l’homme : contribution à une sociologie des droits de l’homme / The contemporary religious identities in the mirror of Human Rights : a contribution to human right sociology Amar, Jacques 05 December 2012 (has links) La présente thèse essaye de renouer avec un type de recherche présent dès la naissance de la sociologie française : l’étude sociologique d’une notion centrale du champ juridique, en l’occurrence les droits de l’homme et l’invocation contemporaine par les individus ou les institutions des textes s’y référant pour faire valoir des prétentions religieuses. L’analyse est menée aussi bien sur un plan général à travers l’appréhension de l’invocation systématique des droits de l’homme à tous les niveaux de la société et, de façon plus particulière, à travers l’expression contemporaine de l’identité religieuse au miroir des droits de l’homme. C’est pourquoi à travers la question religieuse, le présent travail se veut une contribution à la sociologie des droits de l’homme. Le fait social ici dépend de la conjonction d’un élément structurant, la règle de droit, et de l’interaction résultant de la manière dont les individus l’interprètent ou se l’approprient.Nous avons ainsi identifié la spécificité radicale de notre époque sur deux plans distincts : les droits de l’homme, de textes à dimension politique, sont à présent devenus une norme juridique susceptible d’être invoquée dans n’importe quel type de conflit ; les religions, par le biais des droits de l’homme, justifient la modification des règles en vigueur dans la société sans que cette modification prenne la forme, comme par le passé, d’un combat politique. Nous avons systématisé cette spécificité à travers l’élaboration d’une distinction entre société du litige et société du différend :- Dans la société du différend à la différence de la société du litige, le contentieux concerne non seulement les parties en présence mais également les règles sur la base desquelles ils ont vocation à être jugés ; - Dans la société du différend à la différence de la société du litige, n’importe quel juge peut être amené à trancher une question dont la formulation juridique masque un vrai problème politique au titre desquels se situe bien évidemment la place de l’expression de l’identité religieuse. - Dans la société du différend à la différence de la société du litige, le droit pénal devient un mode de résolution des situations conflictuelles comme si l’impossibilité de trancher le conflit en raison de l’antagonisme des thèses soutenues par les parties en présence obligeait à figer celles-ci dans les statuts respectifs de coupable et de victime.Il en découle : - un ordre social en transition qui oscille entre communautarisme et droits de l’homme de façon à éviter que la logique du différend ne conduise inéluctablement à la violence ; - un ordre social dans lequel l’Etat se re-déploie sur la base d’organes administratifs pour essayer de limiter l’expression judiciaire du différend – c’est ce que les Canadiens appellent les accommodements raisonnables ; En somme, la logique de subjectivisation radicalisée par la référence constante aux droits de l’homme fait de la violence et donc du recours toujours accru à la norme pénale un élément consubstantiel de la société du différend. L’Etat pénal devient la forme étatique de la société du différend là où l’Etat social ou Etat-providence formalise la société du litige.Notre recherche s’est achevée sur un essai de typologie des pratiques religieuses fondée sur la perception des règles étatiques par les individus. / This thesis tries to revive a type of research that originates from first work of French sociology: sociological study of a central concept of juridical field, (that is to say, the so called) in this case Human Rights as much as contemporary invocation to serve religious claims by means of the related texts by individuals or institutions. Systematic invocations of Human Rights at every society level and particularly the contemporary way to express religious identity are the objects of this two levels conducted analysis. Considering this text a Human Rights sociology contribution to religious identity question is therefore appropriate. The rule of law and the way individuals take it over or interpret it is the structural factor on which (depends) is based social fact. Radical specificity of our times is identified in this work at two different levels: Human Rights have turned to a norm likely to be invoked in any type of conflict instead of being just a set of texts of political significance; alteration of rules in force in society, formerly a political fight, are now justified through Human Rights. This analysis has focused on this specificity by developing first a distinction between society of litigation and society of dispute and, in a second time, a typology of religious identities in accordance to the relationship that the individual maintains with the rule of law.

5	Constitutionnalisme et exclusion : critique du regard français sur le modèle canadien de pluralisme / Constitutionalism and Exclusion Blanc, Nicolas 08 December 2014 (has links) La recherche vise à mettre en évidence les relations entre constitutionnalisme et exclusion dans le cadre d’unecritique du regard français sur le modèle canadien de pluralisme. La problématique de l’exclusion, être altériséen raison de l’identité du droit, naît des silences de la comparaison différentielle France – Canada. Une critiqueidentitaire permet de déplacer la triple dialectique de la comparaison : positivisme c. pluralisme, universalisme c.différentialisme et républicanisme c. libéralisme pluraliste. La problématique de l’orientation identitaire du droitest commune aux deux systèmes juridiques. Aussi, la recherche est relative à l’identité du constitutionnalisme.L’exclusion se définit comme le décalage entre l’orientation identitaire du constitutionnalisme et l’identité ducorps du sujet. La méthode d’analyse proposée, afin de traiter de l’exclusion en droit, et déplacer la comparaison,est tripartite : mettre en évidence l’orientation identitaire du constitutionnalisme, en identifier la structureidentitaire, pour, enfin, en déterminer les étrangers ou « Autres. » La recherche vise à déplacer la comparaison enproduisant une phénoménologie de l’exclusion constitutionnelle, ou « dehors constitutifs, » avec une typologiedes étrangers du droit. La démonstration sera faite dans le cadre des conflits de la religion et de l’orientationsexuelle démontrant l’orientation blanche, hétéropatriarcale et hétéronormative du droit constitutionnel. / This research intends on proving how constitutionalism and exclusion collide one against the other through acritique of the french gaze on a supposedly canadian model of pluralism. The negative comparison’s silencesbetween France and Canada gave birth to this question of how one is being excluded and othered based on theidentity of constitutional law. This critique, that focuses on identities, is shifting those three dialectics supportingthe aforementioned negative comparison : positivism v. pluralism, universalism v. differentialism, republicanismv. liberal pluralism. France and Canada share the issue of how legal reality is oriented toward specific identities.This research, then, is a critique of constitutionalism identities. Exclusion is defined as the gap between theorientation of law’s identities and the bodily reality of its subjects. The analytical tool developed here to tackleexclusion in law has three steps : shedding light on the orientations of constitutionalism, its identity structure,and its constitutional Others. This research purports on turning scholars’ critical gaze towards thisphenomenology of constitutional exclusion, its « constitutive outside, » by deciphering a typology ofconstitutional Others. This will be so through the collisions of freedom of religion and sexual orientation.Constitutionalism is per se oriented towards the ascendency of whiteness, patriarcalism and heteronormativity.
