  • Globalization and Society

    Jeffrey G Reitz, Raymond BretonBOOKGlobalization and Society2003

    Globalization has been defined as a process in which the population of the world is increasingly bonded into a single society. Although none of the contributors to this collection denies the thrust toward convergence that is implicit in globalizing processes, each contributor also concludes that globalization encourages differentiation. Integration in the global system is not a passive process. In different nations, people analyze and interpret w…

  • Modalités d'appartenance aux francophonies minoritaires

    Raymond BretonARTICLESociologie et sociétés2002Cited by: 22

    II y a plusieurs collectivités francophones minoritaires au Canada : locales, provinciales, régionales et nationale. Elles diffèrent quant à leur situation interne, la composition de leur population et le contexte démographique, socio-économique, légal et politique dans lequel elles se trouvent. Face à cette diversification, l'un des défis pour l'analyse sociologique est de conceptualiser et éventuellement d'analyser empiriquement les modalités d…

  • La communauté ethnique, communauté politique

    Raymond BretonARTICLESociologie et sociétés2002Cited by: 13

    Cet article aborde l'analyse de la communauté ethnique en mettant l'accent sur ses dimensions politiques, sans pour cela ignorer les autres dimensions. La communauté ethnique est considérée comme communauté politique (polity) sans État, ce qui amène à se demander comment elle se gouverne, de quelle façon elle gère ses affaires publiques. Quatre phénomènes se rapportant à la capacité d'effectuer des choix et de réaliser des projets collectifs sont…

    Raymond Breton, Denise HellyARTICLEHommes & migrations1996

    Au sein de toute société, l'apparition d'associations et d'autres modes d'action collective sur une base ethnique est rendue possible quand le maintien des cultures minoritaires est perçu comme un fait légitime. Au Canada, des enquêtes récentes montrent que le maintien de la culture d'origine des communautés immigrées n'est pas vu d'un bon œil parla majorité culturelle, mais qu'il est encore moins bien perçu par les membres de ces communautés, qu…

  • Quebec sociology

    Open AccessRaymond BretonARTICLECanadian Review of Sociology/Revue…1989References: 2

    La plupart des questions sur lesquelles les sociologues québécois se sont penches au cours des dernières décennies se rapportent d'une facon ou d'une autre aux transformations qui ont eu lieu au cours de la ‘Révolution tranquille’. Les objets de leur recherche peuvent être regroupes sous trois chapitres: la modernization, le nationalisme, et l'égalité sociale. Le passage d'un ordre socio‐culturel à un autre entraine des tensions et oppositions en…

    Open AccessRaymond BretonARTICLECanadian Review of Sociology/Revue…1984Cited by: 28References: 14

    This paper presents an analysis of aspects of the recent evolution of the symbolic dimensions of Canadian society, focusing on the linguistic and ethnocultural fields. It is argued that a consideration of material or utilitarian aspects, while essential, will lead to a misunderstanding of the actions and reactions of the various groups and organizations in these fields if the symbolic interests and forces involved are not given adequate weight.
