Encyclopedia of Professionalization

Organization of Professions, Production of Professionalities and Growth of Professionalism

By: Didier Demaziere,Richard Wittorski

Professionalization has become a given in the worlds of work and education. For a wide variety of professions, public and private organizations and training and further education courses, professionalization is an inescapable reality. However, it takes on diverse, even contradictory meanings, according to what it represents: a managerial imperative imposed by public or managerial policies, or a set of goals defined by an ideal of service or quality of work. The purpose of Encyclopedia of Professionalization is to discuss the current challenges facing professionalization and, by exploring major research traditions, to clarify the meanings associated with this concept and the various phenomena it encompasses. Three major notions of professionalization are examined: the manufacturing of professions in pursuit of autonomy, the rise of professionalisms embodying notions of a job well done, and the construction of renewed professionalities at the very heart of work situations and training systems.

Recycle

By: Didier Ruef,Matthieu Ricard,Jean-Michel Cousteau,Bertrand Charrier

Cet ouvrage propose vingt reportages réalisés de 1991 à 2008 par le photographe Didier Ruef sur les thématiques des déchets et du recyclage. De Suisse en Chine, en passant par le Kazakhstan, les Etats-Unis, Nauru ou l'Irak, Didier Ruef a photographié un faisceau de situations où l'humanité se révèle derrière les déchets qu'elle produit, subit ou recycle. 238 images d'un photographe engagé qui, mieux que des sollicitations formelles à la protection de l'environnement, invitent à la prise de conscience et à l'action. Pendant des siècles, l'homme a valorisé et recyclé les résidus de son activité productrice. Puis est arrivée l'ère des déchets comme compagnons quotidiens. Dans nos sociétés d'abondance, la production toujours croissante de biens ignore désormais les montagnes de résidus qu'il s'agit coûte que coûte d'éliminer. Face à la croissance démographique et économique et à la fragilisation des écosystèmes, il n'est plus possible de soustraire à notre vue les ordures et les déchets toxiques, dans l'illusion d'une mise à l'écart définitive et d'une stérilisation sans retour. Didier Ruef publie régulièrement ses images dans la presse suisse et internationale.

Death of a Traveller

A Counter Investigation

By: Didier Fassin

It is a simple story. A 37-year-old man belonging to the Traveller community is shot dead by a special unit of the French police on the family farm where he was hiding since he failed to return to prison after temporary release. The officers claim self-defence. The relatives, present at the scene, contest that claim. A case is opened, and it concludes with a dismissal that is upheld on appeal. Dismayed by these decisions, the family continues the struggle for truth and justice. Giving each account of the event the same credit, Didier Fassin conducts a counter-investigation, based on the re-examination of all the available details and on the interviews of its protagonists. A critical reflection on the work of police forces, the functioning of the justice system, and the conditions that make such tragedies possible and seldom punished, Death of a Traveller is also an attempt to restore to these marginalized communities what they are usually denied: respectability.
