AbstractBased on the fact that the definition of what one usually defines as a social movement is not consensual in the litterature, the author discusses the question of the perimeter of the field of studies of social movement. By so doing, he addresses the question of the construction of the object. The aim of the paper is by no way to offer one additional definition of what is to be considered as a social movement, but instead to propose an exercise of epistemological vigilance showing that current definitions can generate a certain amount of dead angles. After a brief overview of the state of the art, the paper addresses three questions : Can social movements be defined by their orientation towards change and, if so, what kind of change ? Can social movements be defined by the type of actors concerned and, if so, who are these actors ? Can social movements be defined by their modes of action and, if so, what are these modes of action ?

Proponents of the « Relational View Theory » encourage a partnership approach of the different stakeholders in an organization. This article develops three more dimensions to interpretations the notion of stakeholders. The normative approach invites the recognition of the different stakeholders, the descriptive approach builds on the stakeholders' knowledge and know-how, while the instrumental or strategic approach points to the management of the relationship network. How can this relationship network be determined ? What kind of relationship strategies can be applied and developed ? We will answer these questions with the help of a case study carried out in an association involved in the social and solidarity economy : the « A.I.D.E.R » association.

AbstractHabermas argues that in the eighteenth century, private vices were translated into public virtues; from the intimate spaces of the conjugal family came the public virtues of companionate love, voluntary association, and self-cultivation; from private commerce came acquisitiveness, competition, and rational calculation. This essay uses Habermas to reexamine Foucaultian histories of sexuality, arguing that the enormous medical literature on pleasure--luxury, sexual pleasure, masturbation, nerves--polices this transition from private vice to public virtue, but in sometimes surprising ways. The key was to explain why certain pleasurable experiences (acquisitiveness for its own sake and sexual intimacy outside the normative middle-class family) were not legitimately or even empirically pleasurable, despite potential somatic evidence to the contrary.
