L'économie de la connaissance désigne une forme de gestion du savoir, cette ressource humaine stratégique transformée, selon les critères de la nouvelle économie, en nouveau facteur déterminant de la production. La connaissance est devenue également un élément de renforcement de la compétitivité des entreprises, jugée aujourd'hui plus importante que les matières premières ou les ressources naturelles. Selon ses défenseurs, lorsqu'elle est assise sur les attributs stimulants du capital humain et sur ses capacités de mémorisation, d'analyse et d'innovation, la nouvelle économie s'insèrerait logiquement dans le cadre de la libéralisation des échanges de capitaux, de biens et services et des idées. Pour ses détracteurs, la nouvelle économie serait source de tensions entre, d'une part, les intérêts financiers des grandes firmes multinationales dans leur recherche des plus …

The prescriptive speech in the name of Islam is established by a group composed by the ulamas. From the 19th century, their historical work, mainly based on teaching and delivering justice, has been challenged. Within the modern States, whether they were colonized or not, those men of religion became more and more dependant from political authorities to which they gave a religious legitimacy. However, their situation of subordination didn't mean a submission, especially in the fields of education, culture or juridical norms where their influence grew up since the sixties. The proliferation of state oversight bodies is a proof of a power balance with the official religious authorities and of a willingness to stifle the ulamas who contend the established power. The current crisis is not only an issue for States with Islamic reference, it as consequences wherever they intent to control communities of Muslims.

Ce document explore les droits des femmes et les droits fonciers des femmes en post-coloniale en Tunisie et au Maroc en examinant les institutions juridiques et discours social qui façonnent ces droits.

ABSTRACTFrom a survey of graduating students at five secondary schools of Casablanca, this article analyzes their intention to pursue university studies and their preferences for the existing fields of concentration. The study shows how elements of motivation and constraints explain their choices and indicates the role played by the perceived situations from the labour market in these decisions. The econometric results suggest that the students prefer fields which increase their chance of finding a job and for which they have a greater probability of academic success.

SummaryTo define what university teaching is and to understand what this concept covers in terms of research constitutes a major stake at a time when the notion of quality becomes increasingly important in the French university context. Based on an operational definition of what is understood as university teaching in France, and using an inventory from Francis data base and consultation of various complete conference programmes, this article aims to reveal the main trends in research regarding university teaching.

AbstractThe author describes an ethnopsychological consultation service at the Charles Hermite school in Paris' 18ème arrondissement. The author, herself trained in ethnopsychiatry by T. Nathan, opened this first consultation service which objectives are to promote the ethnopsychiatric approach in the fields of school psychology, psychotherapy and education, in order to sustain a reflection with a dialectic questioning : how to take into account at the same time, the cultural and linguistic specificities that constitute the symbolic world of the migrant child, and the strictly coded world of a Jules Ferry inspired school, and finally, how to put into practice an operative that is directed towards the problems of a specific population without bringing about processes of stigmatization, so often present in schools.

The analysis of migrant descendant practices is often based on an "over here" and "over there" that are constantly expressed and never relinquished by the person involved. The "over there" suggests that the culture referred to is "timeless" and that history is always subject to culture. The very notion of an "over here" and an "over there" or of an “in between” suggests that adolescents who are descendants of migrants are constantly torn between an "elsewhere" and "here and now" and, thus, have little room for manoeuvre, if any, in their daily lives. This duality is what generates crisis and high levels of tension between adolescents and their parents, on the one hand, and adolescents and society as a whole, on the other. Our objective in the present article is to understand how, via the consumption of Halal (permissible) products, many adolescents challenge their parents' dietary practices and the “exotic” nature of such practices as presented by supermarkets and as seen by “outsiders,” by which some of them mean "the French." More specifically, reversed socialization, a notion brought to light by a number of works (Gollety, 1999; Young, 2003) can be detected in the dietary practices of migrant descendants. These descendants are partisans of an Islam that they consider “scholarly,” as distinct from the Islam of their parents, and they refuse the vertical parental transmission in favour of horizontal transmission amongst individuals of their own generation and via a mosque with lettered knowledge and a scriptural approach. This form of transmission would seem to them legitimate because it is based on a text which justifies respect for such or such practice. This reversed socialization with its Halal linkage is part of a new relationship with regard to faith, to its content and to its forms.

Abdelkébir Khatibi's La mémoire tatouée (“The tattooed memory”) subverts reality by weaving in dreams, fantasies and drama, thus embedding many genres (essay, poetry, play) into the novel. This essay-cum-novel depicts the alienation of not only the colonised but also an entire generation that was uprooted and subjected to a second language. First-person writing is a means to put forward the colonised intellectual who rebels against his own alienation in an autobiographical series of shatters and cries. Its analysis calls for a sound grasp of the author's trajectory, enabling the social contextualisation of his statements. This article dwells on Khatibi's intellectual evolution as it relates to attitudes, positions and statements, leading to an understanding of the autobiographical sketch transfigured by the author and the tricks of his writing trade.

In this paper, we raise questions about the role of local and transnational networks — that is, networks made up of geographically dispersed family and friends and those developed in the course of migration — in providing support to immigrant families at three crucial moments in the life cycle: birth, illness and death. In many cases, families must face these events while cut off from the customary support of kinship and friendship and are forced to find new resources and strategies for coping with them. Through an analysis of the stories of Maghreb families living in Quebec, we examine the interface between transnational and local ties and their respective roles in the management of the targeted life cycle events.
