Therefore, the imbrication of the school is considered as a space of formal education and socialization of the generations regarding the discussions about the environment. The research is qualitative and structured in two stages: first, with the application of a socioeconomic profile questionnaire; later, semi-structured interviews, as key points for the construction of oral narratives of young people research subjects. The relationship between youth and the environment is studied - in this research - considering the categories militant engagement and political socialization for tools that contribute to the formation and construction of projects and life trajectories of young environmentalists like social and political subjects, starting from the historical and plural concept underlying the concept of youth. Because of the peculiarity of the categories discussed, the research is conducted with young people from the state of Bahia who actively participate in movements, groups and environmental projects located in different municipalities of Bahia. Thus, research is made from a socio-historical perspective, in which the environment is understood while a field of struggles and conflicts permeated by social, political, cultural, ethical and economic issues. The path of arrival to the processes of socialization that lead or motivate young people to engage in environmental activism is marked in this paper by the discussion of issues that intersect the encounter between youth and the environment as identity and life project, ethics and environmental education, youth condition and influence of socializing agencies in the training of ecological subjects. For this, the research focuses on the theoretical ideas and assumptions that constitute a broad and significant field for the construction of dialogues between sociological and pedagogical theories, which allow us to perceive which socialization processes compose and construct the juvenile dispositions in the field of militant environmentalist engagement. Through the narratives, it has been observed that school, family, social groups, participation in unions, youth associations and youth ministries influence the youth environmental activism engagement, as well as it has been shown that reflecting and developing actions that evokes the institutionalized political participation of youth environmentalist are needed. / O presente estudo busca compreender e refletir os processos de socializa??o que figuram os percursos e trajet?rias juvenis como disposi??es ao engajamento na milit?ncia em grupos, coletivos, organiza??es e movimentos ambientalistas. Neste sentido, pensa-se tamb?m na imbrica??o da escola enquanto espa?o educativo formal e de socializa??o das gera??es no que tange ?s discuss?es sobre meio ambiente. A pesquisa ? de cunho qualitativo e se estrutura, em duas etapas, quais sejam: a primeira, com a aplica??o de question?rio de perfil socioecon?mico e, posteriormente, a realiza??o de entrevistas semiestruturadas, enquanto eixo-chaves para a constru??o das narrativas orais dos jovens sujeitos da pesquisa. A rela??o entre juventude e meio ambiente ? estudada ? nesta pesquisa - considerando as categorias engajamento militante e socializa??o pol?tica como ferramentas que contribuem para a forma??o e constru??o dos projetos e trajet?rias de vida dos jovens ambientalistas enquanto sujeitos sociais e pol?ticos, partindo da natureza hist?rica e plural subjacente ao conceito de juventude. Dada ? peculiaridade das categorias abordadas, a pesquisa ? realizada com jovens do estado da Bahia que participam, ativamente, de movimentos, grupos e projetos ambientalistas situados em diferentes munic?pios baianos. Por isso, a pesquisa ? tecida em uma perspectiva s?cio-hist?rica, em que o meio ambiente ? entendido como campo de lutas e conflitos perpassado por quest?es sociais, pol?ticas, culturais, ?ticas e econ?micas. O caminho de chegada at? os processos de socializa??o que levam ou motivam os jovens a se engajarem na milit?ncia ambientalista ? marcado, neste trabalho, pela discuss?o de quest?es que interceptam o encontro entre a tem?tica juventude e meio ambiente como identidade e projeto de vida, ?tica e educa??o ambiental, condi??o juvenil e influ?ncia das ag?ncias socializadoras na forma??o dos sujeitos ecol?gicos. Para tal, a pesquisa se debru?a nas ideias e pressupostos te?ricos que se constituem como campo amplo e significativo ? constru??o de di?logos entre teorias sociol?gicas e pedag?gicas, que permitem perceber quais processos de socializa??o tecem e constroem as disposi??es juvenis no campo do engajamento militante ambientalista. Por meio das narrativas, percebeu-se que as rela??es escolares, familiares, com grupos de sociabilidades, participa??o em sindicatos, associa??es e pastorais da juventude influenciam no engajamento militante juvenil ambientalista, bem como h? necessidade de refletir e desenvolver a??es que evoquem a participa??o pol?tica institucionalizada da juventude ambientalista.

Este estudo explora uma abordagem ativista, a fim de desenvolver um protótipo de modelo pedagógico do esporte, para trabalhar com meninos residentes em áreas de vulnerabilidade social, respondendo às seguintes questões de pesquisa: a) qual é o tema central, os elementos críticos e os resultados da aprendizagem de um protótipo de modelo pedagógico?; b) quais processos ocorrem na construção colaborativa do tema central, elementos críticos e resultados da aprendizagem?; c) quais são os desafios e facilitadores no processo de construção colaborativa do tema central, elementos críticos e resultados de aprendizagem? Durante seis meses em 2013, foi conduzida uma pesquisa ação participativa num programa de futebol, em uma área de vulnerabilidade social do Brasil. O estudo incluiu 17 meninos, quatro treinadores, um coordenador pedagógico e uma assistente social. Também uma especialista em pedagogia centrada no aluno e numa abordagem ativista baseada em questionamentos, participou do trabalho como facilitadora (debriefer), ajudando na análise progressiva dos dados e no planejamento das sessões de trabalho. Múltiplas fontes de dados foram coletadas, incluindo: 38 diários de campo/observações e gravações de áudio de 18 sessões de trabalho com os jovens, 16 sessões de trabalho com os treinadores e três sessões de trabalho com os jovens e com os treinadores. Além disso, aconteceram 37 encontros entre o pesquisador e a especialista. O tema central que emergiu foi à necessidade da co-construção de possibilidades de empoderamento, por meio do esporte, para meninos residentes em áreas de vulnerabilidade social. Cinco elementos críticos surgiram quando se trabalhou com meninos residentes nas referidas áreas: a importância de uma pedagogia centrada no aluno, uma abordagem ativista baseada em questionamentos, uma ética do cuidado, uma atenção para a comunidade e a formação de uma comunidade de esporte. Quando os cinco elementos críticos foram combinados, surgiram os resultados de aprendizagem: \"tornando-se responsáveis/comprometidos\", \"aprendendo com os erros\", \"valorizando o conhecimento um do outro\", e \"comunicando-se com os outros\". O processo de construção colaborativa foi dividido em duas fases. A primeira destinada a entender os meninos e como poderíamos fazer um esporte melhor para eles. Os cinco elementos críticos foram desenvolvidos nessa fase. Os quatro resultados de aprendizagem emergiram na segunda fase (fase ativista), quando os cinco elementos críticos foram combinados e usados em conjunto para desenvolver um programa de liderança. Foi necessário negociar desafios, tais como: \"encontrar maneiras de nomear nossas experiências\", \"falta de confiança no processo\", \"valorizar e privilegiar o conhecimento de adultos\" e \"premissas sobre os jovens\" na primeira fase. Negociamos esses desafios, permitindo que todos tivessem \"tempo para desenvolver relacionamentos\", apresentassem uma \"disposição de viver na desordem\" e serem \"pacientes de modo que os elementos críticos pudessem surgir\". Na segunda fase, os desafios negociados foram: \"premissas sobre os jovens\", \"valorizar e privilegiar o conhecimento de adultos\" e a \"cultura do esporte\". Esses desafios foram negociados apresentando-se uma \"predisposição para aceitar riscos\", assumindo \"possibilidades transformadoras realistas\" e sendo \"pacientes para o programa se desenvolver\". O esporte pode ser um bem cultural capaz de beneficiar jovens residentes em áreas de vulnerabilidade social, oferecendo-lhes um espaço onde possam se sentir protegidos e sonhar com outros futuros - movendo-se do que é para o que poderia ser / This study explores an activist approach for developing a prototype pedagogical model of sport for working with boys from socially vulnerable backgrounds, answering the following research questions: a) what is/are the key theme, critical elements and learning outcomes of a prototype pedagogical model?; b) what processes take place in the collaborative construction of the key theme, critical elements and learning outcomes?; c) what are the challenges and enablers in the process of collaborative construction of the key theme, critical elements and learning outcomes? This 2013 six month participatory action research was conducted in a soccer program in a socially vulnerable area of Brazil. The study included 17 boys, four coaches, a pedagogic coordinator and a social worker. An expert in student-centered pedagogy and inquirybased activism assisted as a debriefer helping in the progressive data analysis and the planning of the work sessions. Multiple sources of data were collected, including 38 field journal/observation and audio records of: 18 youth work sessions, 16 coaches\' work sessions, 3 combined coaches and youth work sessions, and 37 meetings between the researcher and the expert. The key theme that emerged was the need to co-construct empowering possibilities through sport for boys from socially vulnerable backgrounds. Five critical elements arose when working with boys from socially vulnerable backgrounds: the importance of a student-centered pedagogy, an inquiry-based activism approach, an ethic of care, an attentiveness to the community and a community of sport. When the five critical elements were combined, becoming responsible/committed, learning from mistakes, valuing each other\'s knowledge, and communicating with others were the learning outcomes that emerged. The process of collaborative construction was divided into two phases. The first phase was designed to understand the boys and how sports could be improved for them. The five critical elements developed in this phase. The four learning outcomes emerged in the second phase (activist phase) when the five critical elements were combined and used together to develop a Leadership Program. It was necessary to negotiate challenges such as: \"finding ways to name our experiences\", \"lack of trust of in the process\", \"valuing and privileging adult knowledge\" and \"assumptions about youth\" in the first phase. We negotiated these challenges by allowing all involved \"time to develop relationships\", having a \"willingness to live in messiness\", and being \"patient so that the critical elements could emerge\". In the second phase, the challenges negotiated were: \"assumptions about youth\", \"valuing and privileging adult knowledge\" and \"the culture of sport\". These challenges were negotiated by having a \"willingness to take risk\", taking \"realistic transformative possibilities\", and being \"patient while the program unfolds\". Sport can be a cultural asset to benefit youth from socially vulnerable backgrounds by offering them a place where they can feel protected and dream about other futures - moving from what is to what might be

Bakgrund: De svenska börsbolagen gör större vinster än någonsin tidigare, men har fått stor kritik för att vara för långsamma i sin vinstallokering. Företag med överkapitaliserade balansräkningar utan investeringsbehov är potentiella måltavlor för riskkapitalisternas affärsidé om finansiell effektivisering och en aggressivare kapitalstruktur. Debatten i media har skapat kritik kring dessa så kallade kortsiktiga och giriga bolagsplundrare som påstås förstöra finansiella värden och kreditvärdigheten i företagen. I tidigare fall har marknaden svarat positivt på riskkapitalisternas investeringar, något som har reflekterats i ett kraftigt ökande aktiepris. Skeptiker hävdar dock att spekulationer är anledningen till att marknadsvärdet drivs upp, inte fundamentala aspekter. Syfte: Syftet med denna magisteruppsats är att fastställa en bild av fenomenet riskkapital och hur dess aktiva ägande inverkar på svenska börsbolags kreditbetyg, kapitalstruktur och värdering. Metod: För att uppnå syftet med vår magisteruppsats har en kvalitativ ansats till-lämpats baserad på tre börsbolag där riskkapitalisters aktiva ägande spelat en betydande roll. Det empiriska materialet har insamlats genom personliga intervjuer med aktie- och kreditanalytiker, och studien förlitar sig även på markandsdata, artiklar och nyhetssändningar i media, samt respektive bolags kvartals- och årsrapporter. Slutsats: Studien har gjorts over den tidsperiod som varit riskkapitalisternas inve-steringshorisont – explicit och implicit. Genom att analysera det aktiva ägarskapet i tre svenska börsbolag kan slutsatsen dras att det inverkat positivt i form av högre prestanda och marknadsvärdering. De finansiella förändringarna har, till skillnad från kritiken, styrkt kreditbetyget i fallen Lindex och Volvo. En analys av Skandia/Old Mutual visade dock en marginellt ökad kreditrisk. Slutsatsen visar härmed att riskkapitalisternas inverkan på svenska börsbolag är värdeförädlande utan att äventyra den finansiella statusen. / Background: The Swedish blue chip companies are performing better than ever, but have been strongly criticised for being too slow in their excess fund allocation. Companies with overcapitalised balance sheets and no investment needs are potential targets for activist funds’ business idea of more aggressive capital structures and financial restructuring. In media, this debate has raised criticism against these so called short-sighted, greedy asset-strippers that destroy company values and increase the companies’ risk of default. In prior cases where activist funds have taken actions, the market has responded positively through increasing the share price. However, sceptics argue that the higher share price is merely a response to a speculative reaction with no fundamental argument supporting the upgrade in market capitalisation. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to establish a view of the phenomenon of activist funds and their impact on blue chip companies’, listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, credit rating, capital structure and valuation. Method: To fulfil the purpose of our master thesis, a qualitative approach has been applied based on three cases involving the activities of activist funds. The empirical findings have been retrieved via personal communications with stock- and credit analysts, and the study also relies on articles and news coverage from media, stock market data and annual reports from each of the chosen companies respectively. Conclusion: The study has regarded the period of time which has been the investment horizon of the activist funds – explicitly and implicitly. Analysing their active ownership, the conclusion can be drawn that these activist funds have clearly had a positive impact on each of the blue chip companies’ performance and intrinsic value respectively. The financial restructuring has - contrarily to the criticism – strengthened the credit ratings in the cases of Lindex and Volvo. In the Skandia/Old Mutual-case, a marginally higher default risk was detected. Thus, the study has concluded that activist funds indeed add significant shareholder value without jeopardising the companies’ financial statuses.

This project is an archival case study of the multimedia artist and writer David Wojnarowicz. I discuss Wojnarowicz's legacy as a queer activist and public intellectual to explore the potential of his posthumous rhetorical agency. I define "posthumous rhetorical agency" as a process enacted by the living to facilitate the participation of the deceased in public life. I emphasize that developing a theory of posthumous rhetorical agency can fuel the "momentum of the archival turn" while also deepening a "commitment to the queer turn" in rhetorical studies (Morris and Rawson; Crichton). I establish that Wojnarowicz's archive possesses the ability to reach into the future with remarkable velocity to contribute to his posthumous agency because he drew on extant queer kinship networks and engaged multiple mediums as a visual artist, writer, musician, performance artist, and filmmaker. I extend Avery Gordon's position that haunting differs from trauma because haunting produces a "something-to-be-done" quality, which leads to an engagement with the present and a desire "to reveal and learn from subjugated knowledge." I argue that Wojnarowicz's legacy has a "something-to-be-done" quality about it. His legacy stands as an indictment of a nation lulled into apathetic indifference and cowed into fear of social difference: at a national level when the AIDS epidemic began, politicians and corporations were inexcusably slow to respond because the disease was assumed to infect only gay men and other "high risk" populations. Thus, in understanding Wojnarowicz's suffering - as an individual and, to take this line of argument further, as part of a collective of people with AIDS who died due to the US government's neglect of a public health crisis from which the "general public" was assumed to be safe - one can conceive of his posthumous legacy as a positive and needful presence that calls attention to the value of integrating a partially erased or forgotten history more fully into the nation's history. I conclude that a viable theory of posthumous rhetorical agency must attend to issues of how to responsibly and justly represent the work of those who have been systematically excluded, censored, or erased from the historical record.

abstract: This dissertation examines the conditions that foster or hinder success of university-based community design centers (CDCs) in the United States. Little is known about the normative underpinnings of CDCs, how successful these centers have been, which factors have contributed to or impeded their success, and how they have responded to the changes in social, political, professional and economic contexts. Adopting Giddens' theory of structuration as a research framework, this study examined CDCs via a mixed-methods sequential research design: a cross-sectional survey of CDCs on current definitions of success and metrics in use; and in-depth interviews to document the centers' histories of change or stasis, and how these changes influenced their successes. The findings of the first phase were utilized to develop a comprehensive success model for current CDCs that comprise measures related to organizational impacts, activities, and capacities. In the multiple case study analysis, four major rationales were identified: universities for public service, pragmatist learning theories, civic professionalism, and social change. These four rationales were evident in all of the studied cases at varying degrees. Using the concept of permeability, the study also exemplified how the processes of CDCs had transformative impacts in institutional, societal, and personal contexts. Multidisciplinarity has also emerged as a theme for the current organizational transformations of CDCs. The main argument that emerged from these findings is that it is not possible to identify a singular model or best practice for CDCs. The strengths and unique potentials of CDCs depend on the alternative rationales, involved agencies, and their social, political and spatial contexts. However, capitalizing on the distinctive attributes of the institutional context (i.e. the university), I consider some possibilities for university-based CDCs with an interdisciplinary structure, pushing the professional, curricular, and institutional boundaries, and striving for systemic change and social justice. In addition to contributing to the theoretical knowledge base, the findings provide useful information to various CDCs across the country, particularly today as they struggle with financial constraints while the community needs they provide are increasingly in demand. Since CDCs have a long history of community service and engagement, the findings can inform other university-community partnerships. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Environmental Design and Planning 2011

abstract: This project draws on sociocognitive rhetoric to ask, How, in complex situations not of our making, do we determine what needs to be done and how to leverage available means for the health of our communities and institutions? The project pulls together rhetorical concepts of the stochastic arts (those that demand the most precise, careful planning in the least predictable places) and techne (problem-solving tools that transform limits and barriers into possibilities) to forward a stochastic techne that grounds contemplative social action at the intersection of invention and intervention and mastery and failure in real time, under constraints we can't control and outcomes we can't predict. Based on 18 months of fieldwork with the Sudanese refugee diaspora in Phoenix, I offer a method for engaging in postmodern phronesis with community partners in four ways: 1) Explanations and examples of public listening and situational mapping 2) Narratives that elucidate the stochastic techne, a heuristic for determining and testing wise rhetorical action 3) Principles for constructing mutually collaborative, mutually beneficial community-university/ community-school partnerships for jointly addressing real-world issues that matter in the places where we live 4) Descriptions and explanations that ground the hard rhetorical work of inventing new paths and destinations as some of the Sudanese women construct hybridized identities and models of social entrepreneurship that resist aid-to-Africa discourse based on American paternalism and humanitarianism and re-cast themselves as micro-financers of innovative work here and in Southern Sudan. Finally, the project pulls back from the Sudanese to consider implications for re-figuring secondary English education around phronesis. Here, I offer a framework for teachers to engage in the real work of problem-posing that aims - as Django Paris calls us - to get something done by confronting the issues that confront our communities. Grounded in classroom instruction, the chapter provides tools for scaffolding public listening, multi-voiced inquiries, and phronesis with and for local publics. I conclude by calling for English education to abandon all pretense of being a predictive science and to instead embrace productive knowledge-making and the rhetorical work of phronesis as the heart of secondary English studies. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Curriculum and Instruction 2012

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / A partir do contexto de uma realidade BiopolÃtica, articulada com as doutrinas neoliberais, apontadas por Michel Foucault, procuraremos, em um primeiro momento, relacionar esse poder sobre as espÃcies e as populaÃÃes, com os conceitos de Estado de ExceÃÃo e Homo Sacer desenvolvidos por Giorgio Agamben. à dizer, situaremos de que maneira os temas referentes à exceÃÃo brasileira â a influÃncia da Ditadura Militar na democracia â se articulam com a educaÃÃo. Nesse sentido, essa dissertaÃÃo tem como objetivo realizar uma pesquisa das prÃticas de arte ativista, as denominadas intervenÃÃes urbanas educativas, Ãs biopolÃticas incrementadas do perÃodo da Ditadura Militar atà hoje. Trata-se de pesquisar de que maneira essas intervenÃÃes urbanas se colocam como estratÃgias de resistÃncia educacional ao campo biopolÃtico. Como metodologia, escolheremos a pesquisa bibliogrÃfica e documental em livros, fotografias, vÃdeos e imagens referentes à temÃtica. Apresentaremos as estratÃgias de resistÃncia à biopolÃtica, com foco na apresentaÃÃo dos trabalhos de trÃs coletivos que vem desenvolvendo IntervenÃÃes Urbanas, de arte e resistÃncia ao modelo de exceÃÃo brasileiro iniciado pela Ditadura Militar e presente na atualidade. Analisaremos experiÃncias do coletivo fortalezense Aparecidos PolÃticos, do paulista Coletivo PolÃtico QUEM e do nacional Levante Popular da Juventude. SerÃo apresentadas algumas intervenÃÃes dos coletivos realizadas entre os anos de 2010 e 2012 centradas nas questÃes concernentes Ãs exceÃÃes brasileiras. Finalizaremos a dissertaÃÃo relacionando com os aportes teÃricos levantados, os trabalhos desses coletivos, e demonstrando de que forma essas intervenÃÃes urbanas educativas vÃm, de alguma maneira, quebrando consensos estabelecidos em relaÃÃo à educaÃÃo e à realidade. / At first, from the perpective of a biopolitic reality and neoliberal doctrine pointed by Michel Focault, this writting will describe the interectation between the power over species and population with the concepts of "Exception State" and "Homo Sacer", which was developed by Giorgio Agamben. In addition, it will be made referance of how, themes such as the brazilian exception - the influence of military dictactorship in democracy- and education can be articulated. The aim of this dissertation is to research how the artistic intervention on urban areas about the military dictatorship, named as "education urban intervention" can be used as educational strategy in the biopolitc field. The methodology we choose was the bibliographic and documental research, books, photography, videos and images refering to the topic were used. Whatsmore, there will be presented the work of three groups, called "coletivos" which have been using those urban interventions and its strategies. The name of those are : "Aparecidos PolÃtcos" from Fortaleza , "Coletivo PolÃtico QUEM" from SÃo Paulo and the national wide "Levante Popular da Juventude", This intervention are between the years 2010 and 2012 and are linked with the brazilian exception. The dissertation ends with the relationship of the studieded theories, the work of theses colectives and a demonstration at the way this educational urban interventions changes the way people see the education and the reallity.

O presente trabalho é um estudo da poética do escritor, jornalista e militante argentino Rodolfo Jorge Walsh. Tradutor, editor e autor de relatos policiais, soube fazer da atividade literária um ato de reflexão sobre a história do seu país e da própria ação militante. Os procedimentos de escrita utilizados dentro da sua obra procuravam a eficiência persuasiva, mas também a eficiência na representação dos problemas que estavam colocados para o escritor na sua ação política. São objeto de estudo deste trabalho: a passagem do policial de enigma para o hard-boiled e o posterior abandono do subgênero; a opção pela forma breve do conto e não do romance; o abandono da escrita estritamente literária que seria retomada só nos últimos meses da sua vida -processos que coincidiram com o desenvolvimento de investigações sobre crimes de Estado e seu ingresso na militância- e a retomada da autoria, pouco antes de morrer, para a produção de uma série de cartas pessoais no contexto da ditadura que se iniciou em 1976 e da polêmica do autor com a direção da organização Montoneros, na qual militava. / The present work is a study of Rodolfo Jorge Walsh\'s poetry. He was an author, a journalist and an activist. Also a translator, editor an author of police short stories. He knew how to transform the literary activity into an act of reflexion about the history of his country and the activist action itself. The writing procedures used inside his works searched not only for a persuasive efficiency, but also the efficiency in representing the problems faced by the author in his political action. They are object of study: the passage from police enigma to hard-boiled and the following desertion of the sub gender; the option for the brief form of the short story and not the novel; desertion of the writing strictly literary that would be taken up again in the last months of his life - processes that coincided with the development of State crime investigations and his participation in an activist life - and getting back the authorship, shortly before his death, into a production of personal letters in a dictatorship context that began in 1976 and the controversy of the author in relation to the direction of the Montoneros organization, for which he was an activist.

Notre travail explore les groupes activistes en tant qu’organisations de mouvements sociaux. Pour cela, nous étudions comment les activistes expriment leur message en mobilisant des symboles (discours, position du corps, objets…) pour construire un ensemble de performances spécifiques appelé le répertoire tactique. Pour ce faire, ils s’inspirent de leurs prédécesseurs et de leurs cadres théoriques. Dans un deuxième temps, nous décrivons comment les activistes mobilisent les médias à l’aide d’une stratégie médiatique, reposant à la fois sur le répertoire tactique et sur une certaine intégration des activistes en son sein. Enfin, nous analysons les moyens par lesquels le groupe activiste mobilise ses membres (c’est-à-dire les recrute et les retient) ; cela passe en particulier par l’acquisition de compétences émancipatrices pour les activistes. En conclusion, nous montrons que le répertoire tactique constitue la colonne vertébrale d’un groupe activiste et participe à toutes les tâches que nous avons décrites (mobilisation de symboles, des médias et des activistes). Cette spécificité définit le groupe activiste en tant qu’organisation. Nous nous appuyons sur un travail ethnographique d’un an auprès du groupe activiste féministe La Barbe qui dénonce l’absence de femmes en haut des organisations. Notre travail s’accompagne d’une réflexion méthodologique sur l’observation d’un groupe féministe par un ethnographe homme. / This work analyses activist groups as organizations of social movements. Firstly, I study how activists express their message by mobilizing symbols (discourses, demeanor, objects…) in order to build a set of performances called the “tactical repertoire”. To do so, they draw inspiration from their predecessors and their theoretical frames. Secondly, I describe how activists mobilize media. Their media strategy relies both on the tactical repertoire and the integration of activists into the group. Finally, I enquire how the activist group mobilize its members (how it recruits and retains them); the acquisition of emancipatory skills is a particularly strong motivation for activists. In the conclusion, I show that the tactical repertoire is the backbone of an activist group as it participates in all the tasks described (mobilization of symbols, of media and of activists). This specific characteristic defines the activist group as an organization. I rely on a one-year-long ethnography among the French feminist activist group La Barbe, which denounces the absence of women at the head of organizations. I also reflect on the methodological implications of observing a feminist activist group as a male ethnographer.

Existence Stories is an interactive activist art project that gathers personal narratives from people about the ways in which their lives have been impacted by the current political climate in the United States, particularly surrounding the 2016 Presidential election and its aftermath. The project harnesses first-person narrative and audience participation as tools for humanizing the “Other” and building connections between people through the act of sharing stories. As the project has progressed over time, it has evolved in multiple directions and come to incorporate a variety of media, primarily comics, animation, printmaking, and zines. The roles that reproduction, distribution, and communication play in all of these media are also explored within this body of work.
