Cette thèse étudie les crises et les reconfigurations de la relation d'autorité au sein de l'année française entre 1954 et 1966. La guerre d'Algérie apparaît comme le point d'aboutissement de nombreux écrits théorico-pratiques visant à donner l'initiative aux chefs et à instituer l'obéissance active des soldats. Sur le terrain du commandement, la guerre d'Algérie consacre l'initiative des petits chefs, où chacun peut faire sa règle. Pourtant, la relation d'autorité est minée par des phénomènes de concurrences entre chefs, qui se disputent pour obtenir des honneurs et des résultats. Dans le cadre d'une armée de masse, de nombreuses contre-autorités émergent pour contrer, annuler ou parfois collaborer avec l'autorité hiérarchique. Les soldats, se font critiques et commettent des actes de résistance dans le dos de l'autorité. En prenant appui sur le TPF A de Constantine, nous avons pris soin de compter et d 'historiciser les formes de désobéissance enregistrées, mais aussi de décrire les profils de ceux qui commettent des atteintes à la relation d'autorité. Ces désobéissances sont d'abord fortes, caractérisant l'entrée en guerre entre 1954 et 1957. Pendant le temps fort de la guerre (1957-1961), les désobéissances restent nombreuses, mais les sanctions se concentrent sur les faits les plus graves, si bien qu'elles semblent se tasser. La fin de la guerre (1961-1966), entre le putsch et le départ des forces françaises, est marquée par une véritable crise de la discipline, suivie de nombreuses réformes découlant de la guerre d'Algérie, visant à refonder le lien entre l'armée et les citoyens-soldats. / This thesis studies the crises and reconfigurations of authority within the French am1y from 1954 to 1966. The Algerian war appears as the end point of many theoretical and practical writings aiming at endowing chiefs with initiatives and at establishing active submission on the part of soldiers. At the level of leadership, the Algerian war sanctions small chiefs' initiative that allows them to make their own rules. And yet, power relations are undermined by phenomena of competition between chiefs who fight between themselves to obtain honours and results. ln the context of a mass am1y many counter-power emerge to counter, cancel or sometimes collaborate with hierarchical authority. The soldiers become the cri tics of such practices and commit acts of resistance in the back of the hierarchy. By building on the TPF A of Constantine, we meticulously index and historicise the forms of disobedience recorded but we also describe the profiles of those who breached these power relations. These acts of disobedience are strong during the period of the beginning of the war between 1954 and 1957. During the high of the war (1957-1961), the acts of disobedience stay plenty but the sanctions only focus on the most serious cases thus giving the impression that they diminished. The end of the war ( 1961-1966), between the putsch and the departure of the French am1y, is marked by a crisis of discipline that leads to a series of reforms aiming at rebuilding the relations between the army and the citizen­-soldiers.

Il contributo presenta i risultati di un progetto multi-fase che ha avuto come obiettivo la creazione di un nuovo modello di azione collettiva solidarity-based. Sviluppatosi in tre fasi conseguenti e necessarie, tale progetto mira a fornire indicazioni teoriche, metodologiche ed applicative per interventi di cittadinanza globale capaci di favorire condizioni di giustizia sociale. La prima fase consta di uno studio cross-culturale condotto in Italia, Austria e Stati Uniti volto a rilevare le rappresentazioni sociali dei concetti di obbedienza e disobbedienza in gruppi di giovani-adulti. La discussione dei risultati evidenzia similitudini e differenze cross-culturali tra le rappresentazioni e definisce, per la prima volta in letteratura, attraverso l’utilizzo di mixed methods completamente bottom-up i concetti di obbedienza e disobbedienza. Nella seconda fase è stato creato e validato uno strumento psicometrico in grado di misurare l’atteggiamento relativo alla disobbedienza pro-sociale poiché, nella terza e ultima fase, tale costrutto, insieme alle variabili ragionamento morale e valori di impegno, sono state testate come predittrici del modello EMSICA, modello esplicativo di un’azione collettiva a favore di un out-group in condizioni di svantaggio sociale. La discussione dei risultati indica la rilevanza empirica di tali variabili offrendo interessanti spunti di riflessione per i policy maker. / This dissertation presents the results of a multi-phase project whose goal was the creation of a new model of solidarity-based collective action. Developed in three consequential and necessary phases, this project aims to provide theoretical, methodological and practical guidance for interventions of global citizenship to favor conditions of social justice. The first phase consists of a cross-cultural study conducted in Italy, Austria and the United States aimed at detecting the social representations of the concepts of obedience and disobedience in young adults groups. The discussion of the results highlights the similarities and the differences between cross-cultural representations and defines the concepts of obedience and disobedience for the first time in literature, through the use of completely bottom-up mixed methods. In the second phase has been created and validated a psychometric instrument that can measure the attitude related to pro-social disobedience because, in the third and final stage, this construct, along with the variables moral reasoning and engagement values, have been tested as predictors of the EMSICA model, that explains collective action in favor of a disadvantaged out-group. The discussion of the results indicates the empirical relevance of these variables offering interesting insights for policy makers.
