AbstractThe purpose of this article, which focuses on how migrants' countries of origin and countries of transit contribute to the fight against irregular immigration in Europe, is to analyze how these actors intervene in the management of migration flows and border control, and the resulting impact on the rights of economic migrants and asylum seekers, despite their clear difference in status. We demonstrate that the means and measures taken by third countries in the context of the European Union's fight against irregular immigration not only help foster this distinction between economic migrants and asylum seekers, but also lead to violations of their fundamental rights.

AbstractThe present paper, based on a still developing research project and the field experience of its writers, looks at the perinatal period, considered as a pivotal family learning moment. This period takes on a specific sense in a migratory context, characterized by the leaving behind of source family and an investment in a parental project (the child's future often playing a major role in the migratory project). The birth of a child is also the moment when many immigrants are introduced to Quebec medical services. This raises two questions: how are family perinatal understandings and practices transmitted (and re-interpreted) to and by local society, and how do they resonate amongst the specialists in local health services? Since Muslims constitute a recent and growing number of immigrants in Quebec, we will focus more on this group, and its cultural, ethnic and religious diversity.

AbstractCelestial antennas. Military'-Apparatchiks. Emirs and the People The Public Space ReconsideredThe recent introduction of satellite-dish television and ils coincidence with the rise of islamist fondamentalism are at the outset of this article which seeks to weigh their impact in thé transformation of the public space in Algeria. Public space is reshaped today by institutions such as media insofar as its extension no longer coincides with the national tenïtory. Thanks to the interconnection of the media, national borders have become increasingly permable and the public space has opened up to influences from the outside. As a resuit of the arrivai of satellite dishes. viewers not only act collectively in organizing the viewing. but each of them has a new basis to assess and to critique her/his social and political environment. The transformation of the public space can also be traced through the identity positionnings provoked by alien images. These positionnings can be understood as a reaction either to the discourses/images from the outside or to the kinds of imposed identity factors set up by the authoritative regime.Key words : Hadj-Moussa. actors. communication, television-dishes. public space. identity. islamism.

This paper handles about family day-care in France. Child minders must be registered by the Maternal and Infant Protection Agency. There is no training to enter this type of job and it is supposed all women who do so possess so called "feminine" and/or "maternal" competences generally thought to be sufficient to mind for children. The field work of this research enabled us to discover that in a situation of unemployment in a poor suburb of Paris, it is necessary to mobilize other competences such as social (to be at ease in the public space, serendipity) and subjective competences (to commit one self completely to looking for a job) to get access to work.

SummaryIn the larger context of family-school relationships, this paper addresses the issue of school interactions with parents bearing cultures different from the one dominant at school. We will refer to research conducted in several national contexts (United States, Canada (Quebec), France and Switzerland). These contexts are shaped by different conceptions of the mission of school as well as by singular visions of the integration of students coming from other cultural horizons. The paper points to the importance of building strong family-school relations because the nature and characteristics of these relations condition schooling outcomes.

AbstractWhile the Francophonie was not a French idea, it became the horizon of a country that contributed to the construction of a democratie Europe only by defending its identity. The latter makes sense only in a dialogue that embraces and cultivates linguistic diversity. Thanks to history and geography, the destiny of the French language can be found today among the great issues and debates of civilisation.

AbstractWhat will be the size of the population of la francophonie in the future? How is this population currently distributed worldwide and how will this change in coming decades? Will la francophonie be concentrated in a few regions? In a context where globalization often seems to mean “anglicization,” we felt that it would be interesting to try to predict the future of la francophonie, in looking at demographic trends in this regard on the various continents with the help of the latest United Nations projections. These projections, produced in 2002, are based on a new approach that raises the possibility of a demographic future for our planet that will be very different from the scenarios predicted in the past. By using various definitions of l'espace francophone along with the new UN data, we attempt in this article to more effectively delineate the demographic contours of la francophonie in the future, while also bringing out some of the political and social issues involved in this prospective exercise.
