This research examines the population of formerly incarcerated people as activists in the Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted Persons Movement. Applying a Personal Authority Framework, this work examines the role of race within organizing, the limitations of the voices of formerly incarcerated people, the role of the ally within the movement, the power that formerly incarcerated people do have and how they use it, and the necessary aspects and attributes of a movement. I conducted fourteen in depth interviews with formerly incarcerated individuals and their allies, all of which self-identified as activists. Given that the prison populations in the United States is the highest in the world, as is the populations of formerly incarcerated people, this work demonstrates the important role of activism in their lives and the importance of their personal stories and authority for an activist movement to be successful.

In this article intercultural education is discussed, cases from the Danish upper secondary school are analyzed, and some requirements for further development are proposed. First definitions of the concepts communication, communicative action, intercultural communication and intercultural education are given. Starting from these definitions it is argued that intercultural communication as well as intercultural education is possible. Then two cases are analyzed. Finally – in the Discussion – it is underlined that the students’ metareflection on the context dependence of the knowledge construction process is a pivotal precondition for successful intercultural education.

L'étude porte sur la différenciation de la femme en fonction de sa perception de la structure de sa famille d'origine. Une description du processus identitaire a d'abord précédé, pour en venir par la suite, à une élaboration sur la famille et sur son influence dans le processus de la différenciation. Afin d’en vérifier le taux auprès des femmes, 56 d'entre elles ont été retenues parmi les quelques centaines de participantes. Elles devaient identifier la dyade la plus importante dans leur famille d'origine, s'enquérir du choix de leur mère et par la suite compléter le Personal Authority in Family System-Questionnaire (version québécoise). Les résultats obtenus montrent une différence entre les groupes à seulement deux échelles et permettent de conclure que les femmes issues de la lignée familiale privilégiant la dyade «mère-enfant» pourraient présenter des indices de fusion et pourraient être plus indifférenciées que celles issues de la lignée familiale «mère-père».
