The Advent of Child Rights on the International Scene and the Role of the Save the Children International Union 1920-45
The Save the Children International Union (SCIU) was founded in 1920 in Geneva by the Save the Children Fund of London in cooperation with the ComitĂ© International de Secours aux Enfants of Bern. This philanthropic organization was created in the interwar context. The Declaration of Children's Rights, written in 1923 by the Union, is certainly the most important work of the SCIU. Adopted in 1924 by the General Assembly of the League of Nations, this statement marks the entry of the child into international relations. Moreover, the Declaration reveals the evolving legal status of the child. At times an innocent victim, at other times perceived as an "abnormalityâ, the notion of childhood is in constant evolution. What this stage of life really represents depends on the way it is viewed by society, by politics, by institutions and organizations, et
Travailleurs Ătrangers sur le MarchĂ© du Travail Suisse: Quels Modes D'incorporation?
This article deals with the opportunities foreign workers have to participate in the job market on an equal footing in the state in which they reside. Using Switzerland as an example, we will pay particular attention to the possibility or not for qualified foreign workers to transfer their cultural capital (Bourdieu, La distinction. Critique sociale du jugement, Paris: Minuit, 1979) from their home to their new country, in other words to perform a job matching their level of training and which enables them to emphasize the professional qualification obtained in the pas
Reflexiones sobre la perspectiva intercultural a partir de la figura del extranjero
QuĂš significa Ă©sser estranger? Quins sĂłn els mecanismes que sâarticulen perquĂš una persona es percebi a si mateixa, o sigui percebuda pels altres, com a estrangera? Com es pot deixar de ser estranger? Respondre aquestes preguntes de manera explĂcita pot ajudar a aprofundir els posicionaments i els lĂmits que suposa la perspectiva intercultural. Aquest article sâinteressa per aquestes qĂŒestions tot fonamentant-se en els treballs de quatre autors, provinents de la sociologia, perĂČ que es caracteritzen per la seva obertura interdisciplinĂ ria: Alfred Schutz, Georges Simmel, Norbert Elias i Abdelmalek Sayad.What does it mean to be a foreigner?

Au-delà des injonctions, un autre paradigme de l'insertion: focus sur les pratiques alternatives d'une mesure pour les jeunes : travail effectué dans le cadre de l'obtention du Bachelor of arts HES-SO en travail social à la Haute école de travail social de GenÚve
Ce travail de Bachelor a Ă©tĂ© distinguĂ© par le Prix 2014 de la Fondation Qualife pour lâinsertion des jeunes et jeunes adultes en difficultĂ©. La question de lâinsertion des jeunes a Ă©tĂ© problĂ©matisĂ©e dans les annĂ©es 90, dans un contexte de montĂ©e du chĂŽmage, de prĂ©carisation des conditions de travail et de hausse du niveau dâaccĂšs Ă la formation professionnelle. Elle sâest progressivement institutionnalisĂ©e en lien avec lâaugmentation corrĂ©lative des jeunes Ă lâaide sociale. La notion dâinsertion est socialement construite et participe dâune certaine vision du monde au mĂȘme titre que les politiques, les discours et les pratiques dâinsertion. Ainsi, la plupart des mesures pour les jeunes privilĂ©gient des pratiques relativement standardisĂ©es. Elles prĂŽnent des logiques dâactivation et de mobilisation individuelle avec, au centre, un accompagnement individualisĂ© visant lâĂ©laboration dâun projet « rĂ©aliste » et la production dâun individu flexible et autonome dans une perspective dâadaptabilitĂ© Ă lâemploi, vecteur incontournable dâinsertion. La mesure Ă laquelle jâai choisi de mâintĂ©resser sâĂ©loigne assez radicalement des injonctions sociĂ©tales, tant dans sa conception de lâinsertion que dans ses pratiques. Deux entretiens de groupe, lâun avec les animateurs, lâautre avec les jeunes mâont permis dâanalyser les conceptions et les impacts de ces pratiques alternatives, Ă l'aune des modĂšles normatifs en vigueur et des modĂšles thĂ©oriques sur lesquelles elles se fondent. Mon travail a pour intention de mettre en valeur une autre maniĂšre âenvisager lâinsertion qui rĂ©affirme la primautĂ© du lien, rĂ©habilite les fondements du travail social et rĂ©invente des formes de crĂ©ativitĂ© dans un champ de lâinsertion qui tend Ă lâuniformisation des maniĂšres de penser et de travailler
Quels liens entre recherche et travail social ?
La question des liens possibles entre recherche et travail social fait dĂ©bat, notamment dans le monde francophone. Ainsi, lors de la ConfĂ©rence de consensus qui a eu lieu en France en 2012, il Ă©tait question de savoir si lâon devait dĂ©velopper la recherche « dans, sur ou en travail social » (Jaeger & Mispelblom Beyer, 2014), comme sâil sâagissait de positions exclusives et inconciliables. Dans le mĂȘme sens, il mâest arrivĂ© aussi de rencontrer des collĂšgues pour qui la seule recherche lĂ©gitime..
Situating Children of Migrants across Borders and Origins: : A Methodological Overview
This open access wide-ranging collation of papers examines a host of issues in studying second-generation immigrants, their life courses, and their relations with older generations. Tightly focused on methodological aspects, both quantitative and qualitative, the volume features the work of authors from numerous countries, from differing disciplines, and approaches. A key addition in a corpus of literature which has until now been restricted to studying the childhood, adolescence and youth of the children of immigrants, the material includes analysis of longitudinal and transnational efforts to address challenges such as defining the population to be studied, and the difficulties of follow-up research that spans both time and geographic space. In addition to perceptive reviews of extant literature, chapters also detail work in surveying the children of immigrants in Europe, the USA, and elsewhere. Authors address key questions such as the complexities of surveying each generation in families where parents have migrated and left children in their country of origin, and the epistemological advances in methodology which now challenge assumptions based on the Westphalian nation-state paradigm. The book is in part an outgrowth of temporal factors (immigrantsâ children are now reaching adulthood in more significant numbers), but also reflects the added sophistication and sensitivity of social science surveys. In linking theoretical and methodological factors, it shows just how much the study of these second generations, and their families, can be enriched by evolving methodologies
