This article reveals the intimate structures of propaganda discourses through an analysis combining concepts derived from argumentation, rhetoric and political communication. It exposes their discursive modus operandi to increase the adhesion of crowds, distinguishing the political communication from the propaganda, the argumentation by conviction from the argumentation by persuasion. How do rhetorical-argumentative strategies contribute to the construction of discourses displaying their «truth» or their «reality», building alternative worlds presented as the real worlds? The analysis of Romanian Senator Diana Șoșoacă’s speech on the earthquakes in Turkey in February 2023 provides some answers. Feigning rational argument based on factual arguments, the propagandist appeals to the primary emotions of her audience to change its forma mentis.

This article aims to better understand the motives for immigrant parents’ choices of a high school for their children in Montreal. Mobilizing Dubet’ sociology of experience (1994), the analysis reveals that immigrant parents try to articulate distinct logics, sometimes in contradiction, in order to make their decision. By articulating the effects of social class, ethnocultural/racial belonging, but also immigrant parents’ specific relationship with the host society and its institutions on the motives for choosing a school, the article contributes to the advancement of knowledge on this matter. First, the analysis reveals the (ir)relevance of social class as an analytical category of immigrant parents’ motives of choice. Then, it sheds light on specific reasons linked to the relocation that accompanies immigration, which are rarely mentioned in the literature on school choice. Finally, it corroborates the issues experienced by racialized immigrant parents raised by other studies.

This article explores the significance of the growing recognition of the social economy by public authorities in Europe. It demonstrates how this trend is unfolding in a context marked on a national level by very disparate approaches, but a general trend towards commodification is emerging, which shapes the values and operating principles prevalent in the sector. Despite considerable hesitation, initiatives undertaken by the European Union in favor of social entrepreneurship are reinforcing this trend by promoting competition in the market and its financial profitability.

For many elderly people, participating in society is increasingly less obvious and less attained in old age. Sociocultural community developers, who work with the elderly, face therefore the challenge to contribute to maintaining and promoting the participation of older people in activities, in projects and in society. In this paper, we take a sample of students of a 1st cycle degree on sociocultural community development and analyse the strategies and practices reported by them to promote participation among the elderly population. A content analysis of 22 students’ internship reports was conducted; some students also answered a questionnaire or an interview. The data collected allow us to identify 11 strategies of promoting the participation of older people and to classify the types of participation described. These data also enable a discussion about representations of participation within the sociocultural community development.

The Roma are the largest ethnic minority in Europe, but few studies have focused on delinquency and victimization among them. This article presents the results of exploratory research on the victimization and delinquency of young Romanian Roma in two cities in the French-speaking region of Switzerland. The study follows a mixed approach that combined 130 hours of participant observation with a self-reported delinquency and victimization survey (N=27). The findings show that the most common instances of victimization involve domestic violence, thefts, and verbal assaults related to begging, while the most common offences committed are brawls and domestic violence, which is frequently bidirectional. There is a correlation between crime and victimization, although the range of victimization suffered is larger than that of offences committed. Victims rarely report incidences of victimization to the authorities, even though their perception of the Swiss police is relatively positive. Despite the small sample and the biases related to this kind of research, this work calls attention to several new elements, such as the role of social media in delinquency, the bidirectionality of intimate partner violence, and the low rate at which victimization is reported to the police. It also suggests relevant subjects for future research.

Within the context of defining postnational political structures, all nation-states must currently face the obligation of redefining their position vis-à-vis the national culture. While the national culture may be seen, from a liberal standpoint, to require no intervention or specific action by the State, it may equally be perceived, on the other hand, to require the State's active support. The history of nationalism has frequently tarnished this latter position, but one could anticipate that, under certain conditions, this State protection would become important, and even necessary. The question becomes, at this stage, to define the markers of such a progressive nationalism adapted to the contemporary context.

This article seeks to outline the complex pattern of liberty and national security in international relations through a survey of the historical relationship between those concerns in the foreign policy of what is still the world's most important democratic country, the United States. This study is not a history per se of American diplomacy concerning this cluster of issues, although it is historical in approach. Nor is it directly concerned with an on-going theoretical debate over whether or not democracies are inherently more peaceful than other types of states, despite drawing upon elements of that debate and having implications for it. Instead, what is presented here is an interpretive survey of the importance in U.S. foreign policy of a set of key ideas about international order — specifically, the attempt to resolve ideas of "American mission " with the requirements of security, through increasingly active linkage of U.S. national security to the internal character of foreign regimes. It then explores how that tension became manifest in two policy settings : the United Nations, one of America's major multilateral relationship s, and the Soviet Union, its principal bilateral relationship. In short, this study is concerned with governing ideas in American diplomacy; with how such ideas arise and are sustained or challenged; with how they have been disseminated among allies (and even adversaries) ; and the implications of the reality that the United States have succeeded in imbedding these notions in the structures of the international System. The essay concludes with what should prove a controversial, qualified approval of the new 'liberal realism' evident in American foreign policy in the early 1990s.
