[pt] O ponto de partida desta tese é o debate em torno de políticas de ação afirmativa voltadas para afro- descendentes e estudantes oriundos de escolas públicas no Rio de Janeiro. No âmbito deste debate, lanço meu olhar para o papel da cultura escrita no interior do projeto de vir a ser universitário entre os setores populares. Afastando-me da ideologia do déficit, procuro enfrentar a discussão sobre a desigualdade imposta pelo sistema educacional no Brasil, no que diz respeito, especificamente, à relação dos setores populares com a cultura escrita. Com este objetivo, foram realizadas entrevistas e observação participante em duas universidades, sendo uma pública e outra privada. Houve, também, um processo de imersão em uma comunidade de baixa renda e, além disso, buscou-se estabelecer uma aproximação em três espaços de formação engajados nos movimentos de inclusão e permanência destes setores na universidade: um pré-vestibular comunitário e dois projetos desenvolvidos nas duas universidades com o objetivo de minimizar as dificuldades específicas apresentadas por estes grupos em relação à leitura e à escrita. Trabalhando com o conceito da leitura e da escrita como práticas sociais, a pesquisa aponta para a dimensão formadora da universidade (ao menos as que foram pesquisadas), menos por eventuais estratégias pedagógicas, mas, principalmente, por processos de socialização em uma comunidade de leitores formada por professores com nível de letramento elevado e um ambiente favorável. A universidade é apontada como um espaço propício à apreensão do habitus destas práticas, seus gestos e objetos que compõem um tipo de sociabilidade característico e que, por diversas razões, infelizmente, não se dá de forma satisfatória, ao longo dos ensinos fundamental e médio. / [en] The starting point of this thesis is the debate that surrounds affirmative action policy concerning African descendants, and students coming from public schools, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In the context of this debate, the role of written culture is considered within the project of becoming a university student. Steering clear of deficit ideology, this thesis aims at confronting the discussion about inequalities determined by the Brazilian educational system, specifically concerning the relationship between the popular classes and written culture. Interviews and participant observations were carried out in two universities, one of them public and the other private. A process of immersion in a low-income community was carried out, as well as investigation of three educational spaces engaged in movements of inclusion and permanence of these groups in the university: a community admission examinations preparation course and two projects developed in the universities, the objective of which is to minimize the specific difficulties regarding reading and writing presented by members of these groups. Working with the concept of reading and writing as social practice, the research points to the formative dimension of university, less as a result of specific pedagogic strategies than through socialization processes in a community of readers composed of literate teachers and a propitious environment. The university is shown to be an advantageous space for the acquisition of the habitus of these practices, their gestures and objects, which comprise a characteristic kind of sociability that, unfortunately, for various reasons, is not satisfactorily accomplished during elementary and secondary education.

Therefore, the subject of this study are 56 students from the 6th semester of a public college in São Paulo (Group 1) and 36 students in the same semester from a private college located in the city of Santos (Group 2). The specifics objectives are: 1) characterize the social economic and cultural profile in the last year; 2) raise the strategies of appropriation to the literary capital in the path before college and in the same schedule; 3) compare this student improvement and the number of abdication in his group; 4) verify how much the Letters course interferes in his cultural activities today. The main theoretical supports in the sociological area are Pierre Bourdieu, Bernard Lahire and Bernard Charlot. In the reading area, the main reference is Antonio Augusto Gomes Batista. We claim to investigate in which way (which reading and strategies) these students used to obtain in their academic life this elite cultural capital (literary and school), where we presume, they had a little or none contact: literature is the lecture that composes the curricular grade in this course, and we suppose that the student use some strategies to acquit this capital, but the acquisition of the literary capital is only superficial. This has been partially proved. For this, they realized a quantitative and qualitative data collect, making applied tests for both groups and interviews with two students from Group 1, beyond consulting the course secretary of the college to obtain how many students got off. The results show that Group 1 belongs to middle and lower classes and Group 2 to the lower classes. This report reveals that the ones that prefer public college suffers a super selection, before and during the course, and at this point they have more cultural capital than the group of private college. The literary lecture is connected to some singularities in the students life history that distinguish their relationship to pairs of their classes and allows them to reach a high social level / Sob a perspectiva sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu, segundo a qual as camadas populares, em razão de seu escasso capital cultural de origem, destinam-se ao fracasso escolar porque a escola transmite o capital cultural dominante (ou da elite), esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral caracterizar as estratégias de aquisição do capital literário por estudantes dos cursos de Letras originários de camadas populares. Portanto, os sujeitos de estudo são 56 estudantes do sexto semestre de Letras de uma universidade pública da cidade de São Paulo (Grupo 1) e 36 estudantes do sexto semestre de Letras de uma universidade privada da cidade de Santos (Grupo 2). Os objetivos específicos são: 1) caracterizar o perfil socioeconômico e cultural dos estudantes dos últimos anos do curso de Letras; 2) levantar as estratégias de apropriação do capital literário na trajetória anterior ao curso universitário e no próprio curso de Letras; 3) aferir o aproveitamento desse estudante e o número de desistências em sua turma; 4) verificar o quanto o curso de Letras interfere hoje nas suas atividades culturais. Os fundamentais autores que oferecem apoio teórico na área sociológica, além de Pierre Bourdieu, são Bernard Lahire e Bernard Charlot. Na área de leitura, a principal referência é Antônio Augusto Gomes Batista. Pretendeu-se investigar de que forma (que estratégias, principalmente a leitura) esses estudantes utilizaram para adquirir, na trajetória escolar e universitária, um capital cultural de elite (o capital escolar e o literário) com o qual, supõe-se, tiveram pouco ou nenhum contato: a Literatura, disciplina componente da grade curricular do curso de Letras, sob a hipótese, parcialmente comprovada, de que os sujeitos recorreriam a estratégias (limitantes) para tentar se apropriar do capital, mas essa apropriação seria superficial. Para isto, foi realizada coleta quantitativa e qualitativa de dados, por meio de questionários aplicados nos dois grupos e entrevistas com dois sujeitos do Grupo 1, além de consulta à secretaria do curso de Letras da universidade pública a fim de obter números de evasão. A análise dos resultados mostrou que Grupo 1 (universidade pública) pertence às camadas médias e populares e o Grupo 2 (universidade privada) pertence às camadas populares. Revelou-se que os sujeitos que ingressam na universidade pública sofrem uma superseleção, antes e durante o curso, e têm, a essa altura, capital cultural mais volumoso do que os sujeitos da universidade privada, cuja relação com a leitura literária é bastante rarefeita. As entrevistas mostraram que uma leitura literária competente está vinculada a singularidades na história dos sujeitos que os distingue entre os pares de sua classe e pode levá-los à mobilidade social

Inicialmente nossa análise se baseia num enfoque sócio-histórico-conceitual, uma vez que refletimos sobre a origem e evolução da cidadania numa perspectiva histórica, tanto no âmbito mundial quanto nacional. Ademais, apresentamos, laconicamente, alguns aspectos da cidade onde efetuamos o trabalho de campo e posteriormente analisamos o conceito de cidadania. Em seguida, nossa abordagem se consubstanciou em perquirir sobre as dificuldades e possibilidades de existência da cidadania, no espaço público e privado, para famílias de classes populares. Para tanto, baseamo-nos em depoimentos e nas condições sociais de seis famílias moradoras num bairro periférico da cidade de Presidente Prudente. O presente estudo tem como fio condutor a análise da ideologia relacional que faz parte da cultura popular - e à sobrevivência material dos sujeitos desta pesquisa. Assim, os principais empecilhos para existir cidadania, na esfera privada, se devem à presença dominante da referida ideologia, juntamente com as inúmeras privações de ordem material, às quais destacamos àquelas que se circunscrevem à moradia e ao bairro periférico. No tocante às possibilidades de haver cidadania, no espaço privado, enfoca o poder feminino, com a dimensão afetiva e a questão da solidariedade. Contudo, a cidadania não é realizada em razão da unilateralidade do poder feminino; pelo fato da esfera afetiva contribuir e reforçar tendências assimétricas em ambos os cônjuges e; somente a solidariedade não é suficiente para se garantir cidadania. Com relação à cidadania no espaço público, os obstáculos são infinitamente maiores do que as possibilidades para a sua realização, seja pela cultura política do favor (que tem afinidade com a ideologia relacional), seja pela presença marcante da ideologia relacional, da opressão e exploração no espaço do trabalho. / The study present here is an investigation about citizenship. Initially our analysis is based on social-historical conceptual focus, since qe hare reflected on the origin and evolution of the citizenship on a perspective, as on the word as on the national ambit. Moreover, we present laconically some aspects of the city where we have performed the field work and afterwards we have analyzed the citizenship concept. Afterwards, our broach is consubstantiated on the analysis respecting the difficulties and possibilities of the citizenship existence, at the public and private space for the popular class families. For this, we have based on the declaration and the social conditions of six families who live in the peripherical district in the city of Presidente Pr. The present study has as a conductor thread the analysis about the relational ideology that is related to the popular culture and the material survival of the subjects on this research. Thus, the main hindrances to make citizenship exist on private sphere, is due to the dominant present of referred ideology along with the numberless privations of material sort, which we emphasize the ones that are encircled to the housing and the peripherical district. Concerning the possibilities to have citizenship, on the private space, it is related whit the feminine power, with the affective dimension and the matter of solidarity. However, the citizenship isn t performed in reason for the unilaterality of the feminine power; for the fact of the affective sphere contribute and reinforce asymmetrical in both married people and; only solidarith isn t enough to guarantee citizenship. Concerning the citizenship on the public space, the obstacles are infinitely bigger than the possibilities for its relation, as for the political culture of the favor (that has affinity with the relational ideology) as for the remarkable presence of the relational ideology, the oppression and exploration on the work space.

Cotutelle internationale de thèse réalisée entre l'Université de Montréal et l'Université de Lille / Résumé Victoire inattendue de Donald Trump aux États-Unis lors de la campagne présidentielle de 2016 ; succès du camp du Brexit au Royaume-Uni la même année ; disparition des deux partis de gouvernement au deuxième tour de la campagne présidentielle en France lors de l’élection de 2017 ; victoire majoritaire d’un tiers-parti, la Coalition Avenir Québec, lors de l’élection provinciale de 2018 au Québec : des deux bords de l’Atlantique, d’importantes recompositions des scènes partisanes et des résultats électoraux inopinés agitent les analyses politiques, médiatiques et pour partie universitaires. Ces phénomènes sont parfois interprétés au travers du prisme de la « montée des populismes ». Certains travaux pointent du doigt le « peuple » et sa propension à se laisser séduire, voire berner, par des leaders « populistes ». L’explication, souvent sur la base d’enquêtes de sondage, serait à trouver dans le vote, pêlemêle, des « perdants de la mondialisation », des classes populaires ou encore du monde ordinaire des zones rurales. Le constat d’un champ politique apparemment chamboulé par les franges dominées du monde social s’accompagne du paradoxe de pauvres votant contre leurs intérêts supposés. En France, ces questionnements s’inscrivent en partie dans des débats autour du vote des classes populaires dans un contexte d’effacement du clivage gauche-droite comme référent politique. Au contraire, au Québec, la scène partisane est présentée comme de plus en plus polarisée autour de ce clivage en raison du moindre attrait de la cause souverainiste tandis que la notion de classes populaires n’est pas aussi centralement mobilisée par les analyses politiques. En comparant ces deux cas distincts, ce travail de recherche vise à éclairer sous un jour qualitatif les rapports à la politique et au politique des classes populaires en France et au Québec. Sur la base d’une enquête ethnographique dans deux campings populaires dans le Pas-de-Calais et dans la partie sud de la région de Québec, ce travail étudie par le bas et dans une perspective comparée les représentations et les attitudes politiques de campeuses et de campeurs saisonniers dans des contextes de loisirs. Je mobilise comme données d’enquête une campagne d’une cinquantaine d’entretiens, des observations ethnographiques réalisées pendant deux saisons estivales dans ces deux campings et dans d’autres espaces de loisirs. En analysant les représentations ordinaires des sphères partisanes et les sens sociaux du vote auprès des enquêté-e-s rencontré-e-s, ce travail souligne une même distance soupçonneuse vis-à-vis du champ politique auprès de groupes sociaux aux propriétés sociales comparables. Le vote y apparait comme une information politique équivoque et parfois difficilement interprétable. A rebours des seuls schèmes savants de compréhension du jeu politique, ce travail souligne la mobilisation parmi les classes populaires françaises et québécoises d’outils profanes comparables, les indices et les rumeurs, qui observés in situ illustrent la pluralité des modes d’appréhension de la politique. Pour partie faiblement connectées aux enjeux du champ politique, souvent en écho à des expériences personnelles, les attitudes politiques des classes populaires nécessitent d’être étudiées dans une perspective plus large. Ces rapports au politique se comprennent davantage en réinscrivant ces représentations politiques et du monde social dans les relations qu’entretiennent ces enquêté-e-s à l’État et dans les frontières identitaires et de classe qu’ils et elles mobilisent pour se situer socialement. Cette recherche souligne ainsi les divergences et les effets de trajectoires sociales et de lieu dans les visions du monde que mobilisent les classes populaires dans ces deux espaces nationaux. Ma contribution vise donc à éclairer sous un autre jour les recompositions des scènes partisanes en France et au Québec en abordant la question au travers des rapports ordinaires à la politique des classes populaires. Elle esquisse une sociologie politique des classes populaires au Québec et prend position dans les débats portant sur la droitisation des classes populaires et sur la « montée des populismes » en France et au Québec en proposant une contribution méthodologique à l’ethnographie du politique. / Abstract Donald Trump’s unforeseen victory in the U.S’s 2016 presidential campaign. The unexpected Brexit in the U.K. the same year. The disappearance of the two governing political parties in France at the 2017 elections. The electoral success of a third party, the Coalition Avenir Québec, during the provincial elections in 2018 in Quebec. On both sides of the Atlantic, unpredicted electoral results and a large reshuffling of partisan scenes are upsetting political, media and academic analyses. These phenomena are sometimes summed up as part of the “rise of populism”. Some works single out the “people” and their habit of being seduced, sometimes of being fooled, by “populist” leaders. The (jumbled) causes – built through statistical explications – are usually found with the “losers of the globalization”, the popular social classes or with ordinary people of rural regions. The observation of a political world turned upside down by the more dominated margins of society is usually brought up with the paradox of poor people voting against their supposed interests. In France, these reflections are part of the larger debate concerning the voting habits of the popular classes in the context of the slow demise of the right-left divide as the main political reference. On the contrary, in Quebec, the partisan sphere is seen as being more and more polarized around this divide, as the question of sovereignty loses its significance. At the same time, the notion of popular social classes is not as centrally used by analysts in Quebec. Comparing these two cases allows this research to shed – a qualitative – light on the popular classes’ relations to politics and political sides in France and in Quebec. This work is based on an ethnographic fieldwork in two lower class campgrounds in Pas-de-Calais (in France) and in the south of the “ region of Québec ”. It is a study, from the bottom-up and in a comparative perspective, of the representations and political attitudes of seasonal campers in a leisurely context. My analysis is based on around fifty interviews and a set of ethnographic observation made during two summer seasons in two campgrounds and in other spaces of leisure. In my analysis of the research participants, ordinary representations of the political parties and of the social significance of voting underlines a suspicious distance from the political realm that is common to socially comparable groups. Voting habits appear to give ambiguous political information that is often difficult to interpret. Far from the erudite patterns of understanding the political game, my work emphasizes common secular tools used by popular classes in France and in Quebec. When such tools, like the use of clues or of rumors for instance, are observed on site, they illustrate the plurality of the participants’ understanding of and relationship to the political. The political attitudes of the popular classes are very loosely connected to the issues of the political realm and are usually rooted in personal experiences. They thus need to be studied in a larger perspective. These relationships to the political are better understood when they are connected to the participants’ relationship to the State and to their own mobilization of identities which allows them to situate themselves socially. My work therefore underscores the divergences and effects of diverse social and spatial trajectories on the social representations and world visions that the popular social classes muster in these two distinct national spaces. My work consequently aims at shedding a different light on the reshuffling of the partisan scenes in France and in Quebec by orienting the debate towards the ordinary relationships of the popular classes to the political. This thesis points at a political sociology of popular classes in Quebec. It also takes a stand in the debates on the shift to the right of these lower classes and on the “rise of populism” in France and in Quebec. This stand is rooted in a methodological contribution to the ethnography of the political.

Ayant pour ambition de « rendre la parole » aux populations déshéritées de la ville de Pikine, banlieue de la capitale sénégalaise, Débat local est l’émission politique interactive de la radio communautaire Air’Jeunes fondée à la fin des années quatre-vingt-dix à l’initiative des associations de jeunes de la région dakaroise avec le soutien d’une grande ONG canadienne. Cette thèse étudie les usages de cette émission par les citoyens locaux dans les trois domaines principaux où les militants et promoteurs de la démocratie participative s’attachent à développer des dispositifs d’action citoyenne visant à corriger les défauts et insuffisances du gouvernement représentatif au regard de l’idéal démocratique : la place des citoyens dans le système de production des biens publics locaux, les relations symboliques entre les élus et les électeurs et l’espace public de débat sur les politiques publiques et l’action des représentants. À partir d’une étude de terrain à caractère ethnographique menée en trois séquences de 2006 à 2011 dans les studios de la radio et sur les lieux d’écoute de l’émission, il apparaît que si l’émission a permis à des formes de contestation du pouvoir local de s’exprimer publiquement sans médiation, la réalisation du projet originel de l’émission s’est heurtée à un contexte local défavorable marqué par l’absence de moyens donnés aux élus locaux pour exercer leurs compétences récemment décentralisées et par un journalisme politique local polarisé autour de deux formes dominantes laissant peu de place au débat argumenté : le journalisme antagonique des grands groupes privés et de la petite presse du secteur informel et le journalisme légitimiste du groupe public. En dépit de leur attachement militant au projet, les responsables de la radio et les animateurs de l’émission dont les origines sociales et les formations scolaires les tenaient très éloignés des formes de consommation des biens informationnels des Pikinois ainsi que des activités des associations informelles de quartier très vivantes dans la banlieue dakaroise ont progressivement cédé aux forces d’attraction qu’exerçaient les radios privées ordinaires sur leur vision de leur avenir professionnel personnel et, corrélativement, sur leur pratique journalistique. / Aspiring to “give a voice” to the poor people of Pikine, a suburb of the Senegalese capital, “Local Debate” is an interactive political programme of the community radio Air’Jeunes, created in the late nineties at the initiative of youth associations in the Dakar region with support from a major Canadian NGO. This thesis explores the use of this programme by local citizens in three main areas where activists and proponents of participatory democracy are committed to developing citizen action mechanisms, aiming to correct the defects and shortcomings under the democratic ideal of representative government: the role of citizens in the production system of local public goods, symbolic relationships between elected leaders and electors, and the public space for debate on public policies and the actions of representatives. Based on an ethnographic field study conducted in three phases between 2006 and 2011 in the radio production studio and the show’s listening sites, it appears that, even if the programme has enabled forms of contestation of local authority to be voiced publicly without mediation, the realisation of the original project faced an unfavourable local context marked by the lack of resources given to local officials to exercise their newly decentralised powers and a local political journalism polarised around two dominant forms, leaving little room for debate: the antagonistic journalism of big private groups and small informal press, and the legitimising journalism of the public service group. Despite their militant commitment to the project, radio staff and hosts whose social origins and educational backgrounds distance them from the forms of consumption of information goods and activities of Pikine’s inhabitants, as well as the dynamic activities of informal neighbourhood associations in the suburbs of Dakar, have gradually yielded to forces of attraction exercised by mainstream private radios, influencing their vision of their professional future and, in turn, their journalistic practice .
