Research framework: For a family, eco-citizenship means among other things adjusting their domestic practices to their desire to act in favor of the environment and the preservation of its resources. In the event of a child’s chronic respiratory illness, parents receive medical recommendations designed to protect his or her health. These recommendations relate to the layout and upkeep of the home, and concern some of these practices. Objectives: This article aims to show how the family redefines its practices by articulating its values related to health and the environment.Methodology: This research is based on a qualitative study carried out between 2018 and 2020, involving interviews and observations in the homes of 46 families living in Brittany, France, who have a child with cystic fibrosis or asthma. The purpose of the survey was to ethnographically describe domestic hygiene practices , which may stem from values attached to both health and the environment.Results: This article analyzes the dynamics of change in the family’s ecological domestic practices through the prism of the child’s chronic respiratory illness and its implications. It points out the factors influencing the family’s eco-citizen trajectory in this particular context.Conclusion: The inflection given to this trajectory depends first and foremost on the family’s ways of being and doing, and the cultural and social context that shapes them. It then relies on the specific characteristics of the disease, the context in which it is treated and the way in which the medical authority integrates environmental issues into its health guidelines.Contribution: This article looks at children’s chronic respiratory illness as one of the key factors in the construction of a family’s eco-citizenship and its practical implementation. It questions the medical establishment as to how it takes into account environmental values in a perspective of family’s quality of life.

The aim of this article is to relate, from a personal point of view, some 'uncommon' knowledge relating to the experience and management of my chronic health problems. The construction of this experiential expertise is based both on my experience of the illness and my understanding of it, as well as on the way in which I perceive my environment. In the first part, I discuss my medical career and how I have built up knowledge about illness and its management. Some ‘uncommon' experiential knowledge has been slow to emerge and has been perfected, while others have not. In the second part, I present some 'uncommon' experiential knowledge, divided into several categories: (1) those based on adapting medical or alternative treatments, or judging their efficacy; (2) those based primarily on the type of postures to adopt, and (3) those based on selecting and adapting the equipment to be used.
Keywords: Savoirs expérientiels, maladie chronique, traitements médicaux, postures, Experiential knowledge, chronic illness, medical treatments, postures

Eighty-three rituals for the Kadosh Knight grade of the Scottish rite, dated approximately from 1750 to the present day, are digitally processed by methods of text mining or lexical analysis. To facilitate the understanding of our work, these methods are briefly described and software implementations are compared.For these texts, dates of first appearance are often uncertain, and so we attempt to establish chronological criteria and elements of kinship. A phylogenetic dendrogram appears as a necessary resource to determine the probable parentage of these rituals. Such a tree is built on the concept of distance and thus allows to compare the numerical proximity (similarity) or distance (dissimilarity) of these texts. For the purpose of digital processing, a metric based on Muller's method or khi2 is used a priori on the graphical forms. It appears in retrospect that the same metric, when used on syntactic functions, leads to a nearly identical phylogenetic tree.

This article accounts for the slow unveiling of the importance of female work on the farms. It aims at understanding why the work of women on the farms has generally been denied and has remained invisible, and why it may become visible in certain situations. It contends that the invisibilization as well as the visibilization of female work on the farm result largely from the way women gain access to this profession and from how the organization of the work on the farm. The article investigates the work of thirty women farmers of two French regions, Britanny and Aquitaine. It first examines their professional careers. Then it analyzes how these female farmers organize their work. Finally it highlights the consequences of their ways of working on the ways they define their professional identity.

Since the 1990s, new forms of gardens appeared in French cities. Indicating a revival in landscape art, henceforth, they set themselves up as model of arrangement. The appearance of parks and public gardens, registered in these innovative projets of territory, offer a face revisited. Here and there, spontaneous vegetation displays unruly airs instead of spaces previously properly maintained. On behalf of ecological engineering that soak at the moment the management of natural artefact in the city, a revision of the practices gardeners is imperative. In Brittany, at the dawn of the XXIth century, the story of the water and the regional will to reconquer its quality was at the origin of the impulse given to the local authorities to reorientate their practices. This involves the revision of the interpretative filters of nature in the city. The gardeners of local authorities, whose job is to maintain the green urban areas deliver their perception of current developments. Their life stories illustrate the difficulty to give up a decorative appearance on the name of the new ecological values.

The environmental democracy, as promoted by the Aarhus convention (access to environmental information, participation in the public decisions and access to the judge), encounters, in reality, economic and social inequalities. In particular, as regards littoral risks in a context of climate change, the exposed populations are not equal, including on the French territory. Examples studied on the Basque and Guadeloupean coasts, help to compare the cases of populations who appear to be very different in terms of environmental, social, economic and legal vulnerability. Once analyzed these elements, it is useful to think of the definition of the general interest which should condition the public operations of coastal protection or relocalization of the exposed housings. However, this general interest is never defined, and rather appears, in many cases, as a plurality of private interests of owners having robust « capabilities », reinforced by the high value of their goods. A more thorough reflection will have to be carried out, in order to found climate change adaptation of the territories, on criteria of equity which make it possible to put firstly in security the most vulnerable people.
