AbstractIn histories of cinema, the study of optical apparatuses falls under the category of “pre-cinema.” The inquiry developed here attempts to displace the perspective of a geneological history towards that of an epistemology, inspired by the work of Foucault, that gives the cinema a role as a model-maker. This hypothesis engages with the work of theorists—such as F. A. Kittler, M. Milner, and J. Crary—who make claims about the apparatuses of vision, including the cinematograph, using similar theoretical presuppositions. The dialogue with these authors will bring about a redefinition of the “epistemic schema” or episteme, and will show the necessity of combining discursive analysis with considerations regarding the multiple characteristics of the apparatuses of vision.

ABSTRACTThis article attempts to set out a positive view of individualism, in response to traditional sociology, which often tends toward a nostalgic vision of a social world regulated by the bond of community. Because the contemporary model of identity is more strongly centred around individuality than status, there is a need for a new definition of social ties and bonds. Social ties do not bring together individuals strictly defined in terms of their places or positions in the succession of generations and the social hierarchy. They bring together men and women who are also involved on a personal level. Status-based identity has not been eliminated, but there is a greater balancing between these two levels of identity, so that individuals can be recognized in their complexity and can also recognize the complexity of others.

SummaryThis essay explores the hypothesis that the various types of mental health alternatives participate in social management. After grouping together three types of alternatives and examining their functioning from two specific angles the length of association they propose and their way of using experiential and rational knowledge, the author characterizes the management mode of these alternatives as management without managers. It is concerned essentially with the individual-society relationship and touches more particularly on emerging problems (personal and social) and on problems of marginality. A brief discussion follows on two pairs of notions private/public and centrallty/marginality which provide the basis for a more complete analysis of the links between mental health alternatives and social management.

SummaryIn this paper, we propose to consider the family domain in the manner of a field, that is, as a structured social space of positions, defined by the issues and interests which specifically mobilize different types of agents, be they individuals, groups or institutions. Considered first in relation to the investment by actual families in the labor of human reproduction, the dynamics of such a field is also examined in relation to the investment of agents outside of homes, should these agents belong to the network of close relations (parents, friends, neighbours, colleagues) or fall within the framework of more formal relationships (public agents dispensing family services in school, health, psychosocial, legal or community organizations).
