La necesidad de un enfoque etnográfico en Perú
Un desplazamiento de personas rara vez se explica únicamente por factores ambientales o climáticos. Por lo tanto, un análisis que no tenga en cuenta las consecuencias culturales del cambio climático para las sociedades afectadas estará incompleto
Raison, argumentation et légitimation : Habermas, Apel et les apories de la communication
Les définitions de la rationalité fondées sur les seules ressources des activités
communicationnelles et des formes de vie qui leur sont liées se heurtent à des difficultés
dont la tentative de Habermas constitue un eminent exemple. La question de la légitimation
en constitue la pierre de touche; elle est au coeur de la controverse qui oppose Apel Ã
Habermas et de ce qui les conduit à chercher différemment une issue dans les prétentions Ã
la validité (Geltungsanspruche) que renferment à leurs yeux les activités
communicationnelles. Leur mobilisation d’un modèle pragmatique de la rationalité s’articule
ainsi à la recherche d’un élément inconditionné dans lequel on peut voir une source majeure
d’apories et de désaccords quant aux solutions respectivement envisagées. Cette situation
conduit à se demander 1) si le concept de « rationalité communicationnelle » n’est pas
intrinsèquement affecté par l’ambiguïté qui associe à l’argumentation et à l’immanence des
pratiques communicationnelles l’idée d’une légitimation, elle-même liée à une transcendance
que celles-ci paraissent exclure, 2) si un éclairage, à défaut d’une issue, ne résiderait
pas dans une meilleure compréhension des liens qui associent le nécessaire Ã
l’arbitraire.The possibility of defining the rationality upon the only basis of communicative
actions (Kommunikative Handeln) and forms of life lies at the root of several difficulties,
of which Habermas’ attempts give a very significant example. Legitimation is its touchstone.
It is the central point of the Apel-Habermas controversy and it is the basis of its latest
developments. Apel and Habermas are both seeking an out- come by looking at " claims to
validity " (Geltungsansspriiche) which they consider to be embodied in communicative
actions. So they appeal at the same time to a pragmatist account of rationality and to some
Unconditional, which is the main source of the dilemmas and disagreements they have to cope
with. One may wonder whether the kind of tension which strikes the tie relating
argumentation to some " transcendant moment " is not built into the very notion of
communicative rationality. But one may also wonder whether some illumination, if not
outcome, might not consist in some attempt to investigate the very connections between
Necessary and Arbitrary

Mega sports event policy in Marseille 1991-2003 the football World Cup and the Americas Cup: a case study of urban governance
The aim of this thesis is to provide a theoretically informed account of the
decision-making process in mega sports events policy in Marseille. This is
intended to allow an evaluation of the major theoretical frameworks developed in
the Anglo-Saxon literature on urban governance and their applicability to the
French local government context, and more specifically to the context of sports
policy in Marseille.
Following an analysis of the development of the local political culture of Marseille,
the thesis undertakes a review of theoretical frameworks developed in the urban
policy literature identifying three major approaches / concepts which have
dominated Anglo-Saxon literature, namely the growth coalition (Logan and
Molotch 1987), policy network (Rhodes 1981; 1988), and urban regime (Stone
1989) approaches. These theoretical frameworks have been little used in French
urban policy literature (Le Gales 1995; 2003) and feature rarely, if at all, in
French sports policy literature. In reviewing this literature the thesis identifies a
set of indicators, which may be used in empirical contexts to differentiate growth
coalitions from policy networks and urban regimes. A major question for the
research is thus to what extent Anglo-Saxon theoretical frameworks / concepts
can be usefully employed to understand French decision-making and that of
Marseille in particular.
Subscribing to critical realism, the thesis aims to give an account of the mega
sport event phenomena in Marseille, and of the actors' understanding and
interpretation (in effect their social construction) of the phenomena. The data
collected were documents for the period 1991 - 2003 from official sources
(minutes and proceedings of local government and event-related bodies, reports,
political speeches, and local government publications), local press coverage, and
interviewees conducted with the major decision-makers. An ethnographic content
analysis was made, partly employing a deductive approach based on the set of
common indicators developed from the review of urban policy, and partly
inductively from themes, which emerged in the analysis (Altheide 1996).
The thesis concludes that while there is some evidence of the development of
policy networks the specificity of the French context, and that of Marseille, with
its heavily state-led approach to policy, means that the use of urban regime, and
still less of growth coalition approaches, is not warranted by the evidence
Arte e experiência estética na tradição pragmatista
O autor traz um olhar atualizado do pragmatismo, filosofia nascida em terras norte-americanas, a partir das questões referentes à arte tratadas, sobretudo, por John Dewey em sua obra maior Art as Experience, de 1934. Discutindo a relação intrÃnseca que a arte mantém com a cultura, Cometti relativiza a noção de arte ao inscrever seu objeto no horizonte das culturas e, assim, no contexto dos usos. Defendendo o ponto de vista de uma arte como experiência, questiona a autonomia artÃstica, associando a experiência com a obra à s outras experiências mundanas, conquanto estejam em permanente troca. Por fim, questiona se existiria de fato uma estética pragmatista
