René Vautier : esthétique et politique de l’intervention

En ouverture de son autobiographie – qui restera malheureusement inachevée, puisqu’elle s’arrête à l’orée des années 1970 –, René Vautier nous rapporte une véritable scène de polar. Elle se passe en 1973, alors qu’il en est au vingt-septième jour d’une grève de la faim pour exiger « la suppression de la possibilité, pour la commission de censure cinématographique, de censurer des films sans fournir de raisons », ainsi que « l’interdiction, pour cette commission, de demander coupes ou refus de..

Institution, expérimentation, émancipation : autour de la pédagogie institutionnelle

Ce texte s’intéresse à la pédagogie institutionnelle (PI) comme critique interne de l’institution éducative. Elle constitue une perspective particulière au sein des critiques de l’institution scolaire, car elle s’appuie sur une conception non seulement répressive mais instituante du cadre institutionnel. Cela signifie que celui-ci ne saurait se réduire à l’institué de l’ordre établi dans un lieu d’enseignement, mais doit au contraire être envisagé comme un ensemble dynamique, qui peut être contesté et mis en mouvement par des pratiques instituantes. En ce sens et sur la base de cette conception particulière du mouvement qui fait l’institution, la PI permet d’envisager qu’institution et émancipation ne sont pas nécessairement antinomiques, mais peuvent au contraire s’appuyer l’une sur l’autre, dans l’horizon d’une transformation de la relation pédagogique.This text focuses on institutional pedagogy (IP) as an internal critique of the educational institution. This is a specific critical perspective within the school system since it is based on an approach of the institutional framework as not only repressive but instituting. This means that the institutional framework cannot be reduced to the established order of a place of education, but should instead be regarded as a dynamic unit, which can be challenged and set in motion by instituting practices. In this sense, on the basis of this specific, dynamic conception of the institution, IP enables to approach institutions and emancipation as not necessarily mutually exclusive, but instead as relying on each other with a view to transforming the pedagogical relationship

Beyond the stable image of institutions:using Institutional Analysis to tackle classic questions in Institutional Theory

International audienceAlthough institutions are subject to constant change, we retain a stable image of them. Consequently, should they be considered as objects or processes? Notwithstanding its success, institutional theory still faces theoretical challenges to account simultaneously for change and stability, agency and structure. Following recent calls to integrate other perspectives on how we think about institutions, we draw on institutional analysis – a stream that has flourished in Europe and Latin America – to propose a radical and comprehensive conception of the institution as a locus of tension between the instituting (by which institutions are formed) and the instituted (temporarily stabilized forms). Since there is permanent tension between them, the institution itself can never be a stable object. It is constantly evolving, being either reinforced or destabilized. This research enriches the theoretical dialogue between organizational institutionalism and institutional analysis, two streams that have hitherto displayed little cross-fertilization. First, it contributes to rethinking the nature of institutions by emphasizing the role of the social imaginary, thus improving our understanding of the under-theorized role of imagination in institutionalization processes. Second, by placing the dynamic tension between the instituted and the instituting at the core of institutional theories, we answer calls to reclaim their missing critical dimension. Furthermore, this results in a methodological implication: the clinical approach of institutional analysis involving the intervention of researchers allows us to further embed institutional theories in organizational practice.<br/
