Do people vote to avoid disapproval
Do people vote to meet others' approval or to avoid their disapproval if they were to abstain? We examine the role of injunctive norms on turnout by means of discussion network data from an original survey module in the Austrian National Election Study. We improve on previous measures of injunctive norms by asking respondents whether their political discussants would disapprove if they abstained. We find that about half of the respondents believe…
Choosing an electoral rule
We study the choice of multi-person bargaining protocols in the context of politics. In politics, citizens are increasingly involved in the design of democratic rules, for instance via referendums. If they support the rule that best serves their self-interest, the outcome inevitably advantages the largest group. In this paper, we challenge this pessimistic view with an original lab experiment, in which 252 subjects participated. In the first stag…
Does it matter whether people will know that I did not vote? The role of social norms and visibility
Fulfilling Campaign Promises or Following Public Opinion
We perform a survey experiment on the issue of immigration. People are presented with a situation where public opinion is at odds with the election promise. In our control group, no information is given about public opinion. In the treatment groups, respondents are told that 55 per cent or 80 per cent of the people are against the project. When respondents are informed about the election promise but are not told about public opinion, 64 per cent …
Choosing an Electoral Rule
Citizens are increasingly involved in the design of democratic institutions, for instance via referendums. If they support the institution that best serves their self-interest, the outcome inevitably advantages the largest group and disadvantages minorities. In this paper, we challenge this pessimistic view with an original lab experiment in France and Great Britain. In the first phase, experimental subjects experience elections under plurality a…
Logarithmic versus Linear Visualizations of Covid-19 Cases Do Not Affect Citizens’ Support for Confinement
The SARS-CoV-2 virus was first identified in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019, and it quickly spread to many countries. By March 2020, the virus had triggered a global pandemic (World Health Organization, 2020). In response to this crisis, governments have implemented unprecedented public health measures. The success of these policies will largely depend on the public's willingness to comply with new rules. A key factor in citizens’ willingnes…
The effect of social pressure from family and friends on turnout
Recent research about the decision to vote or abstain finds a causal effect of social networks and social pressure. Yet this literature does not examine how this social pressure is exerted and by whom. This study aims at correcting these shortcomings. Using a two-wave panel survey conducted in Canada, we distinguish between the pressure exerted by friends and the partner and between descriptive and injunctive norms. We find that most people are n…
Zombies, symptômes d'une époque terrifiée
Les zombies sont partout. Leur statut de phénomène à la mode tend à nous faire oublier qu'ils sont non seulement les produits commerciaux, mais aussi psychiques de notre époque. En fait, ces créatures mythiques, vraisemblablement originaires d'Afrique noire et entrées dans la culture occidentale par le biais de Haïti, ont une longue histoire, histoire qui a vu la figure se transformer pour coller aux peurs et aux angoisses des époques où elle est…
Petite philosophie du zombie
Les zombies sont partout, au cinéma, à la télévision, dans nos rues, chez notre libraire. Grotesques et terrifiants, ils pourraient n’être qu’une tendance kitsch, un divertissement à la mode. Derrière sa démarche traînante et ridicule se cache pourtant une figure symptomatique de notre époque. Peur de l’épidémie ou fantasme de la catastrophe, aliénation moderne ou fascination pour la violence : le zombie et le monde apocalyptique qu’il crée nous …
La popularité des zombies
Entrer dans la mer
L’art post-humain est l’histoire d’une rencontre : il tente de faire dialoguer, sous le régime de l’art, une certaine conception de l’homme et du corps avec les nouvelles technologies. L’imaginaire post-humain n’est aussi fascinant, aussi séduisant, que parce qu’il se propose de résoudre l’incomplétude coextensive à la condition humaine. En cela, nous aborderons ici la post-humanité comme une nouvelle foi souhaitant refonder un nouveau mode d’êtr…

Imaginer le posthumain
Tomar al zombi en serio
El presente trabajo busca observar las notas distintivas del cine de zombis, y de laimagen del apocalipsis que evoca, que pueden ofrecer a las ciencias sociales unaaproximación metafórica que permita esclarecer diferentes aspectos de lasociedad contemporánea. Para ello el trabajo procede siguiendo la propuesta deGeorges Balandier sobre la capacidad de la ciencia ficción para proyectar lascondiciones actuales hacia futuros lejanos desde los que se…
