Studying terrorism through the lens of public actions
In this article we argue that terrorism should no longer be studied as a phenomenon completely exogenous to modern societies, but rather as endogenous, that is, as a part and product of symbiotic dynamics linking terrorism to particular “socio-state configurations.” This thesis leads us to propose a new research program focused on the central question of what governments do or don’t do to combat the terrorism(s) that strike human societies govern…

I’m a sociologist too, right?” Cinema and the representation of contemporary violence in Spain
The Spanish director’s oeuvre offers a unique vision of the various forms of violence at work in contemporary Spanish society. This study aims to encourage social scientists to reflect on their own practice and identify potential blind spots in their work. More broadly, the young Spanish director’s output can be viewed as the product of a particular socialization (both familial and academic) and his belonging to a generation uninhibited by the co…
On the Internal Dynamics of the Conflict/Violence Process
There were external and internal reasons. In the USA, the growth of the civil rights movement over racial discrimination, and then the anti-war movement against the Vietnam War, were mobilizations that many university students, including myself, took part in

La violence refusée des indignados espagnols
This text does not purpose a study of the Spanish “indignados” mobilization. We just want to clarify a particular focus mentioned in the introduction of the issue 2 of Socio about the violence (Larzillière, Petric, Wieviorka, 2013: 12). This paper only wants to focus on the management of violence by “indignados”, both inside mobilization between what Diani (2011) defines as usual suspects, potentially violent activists and unusual suspects from o…
Young radical nationalists
How and why do some young people become street fighters who rally behind a political ideology? This article attempts to explore this complex issue. First, using ethnographic data, the article examines political and violent socialization, and its connections to and influences upon individual, peer and discourse conditions. Second, it explores how individual predispositions, i.e. those dispositions acquired from a certain family, social class or pe…
Des devenirs minoritaires. Retour sur l'expérience politique des « indignés » espagnols
Nombreux sont les observateurs qui se sont montrés dubitatifs sur la capacité des mouvements tels que les Indignés à « trouver un débouché politique », mettant en doute leur efficacité, au regard des revendications affichées sur un mode déclaratif. Et si c'étaient les cadres interprétatifs mobilisés qui ne permettaient pas de saisir le mode d'action propre à ces groupes ? Jérôme Ferret, sociologue du politique, nous livre son parcours personnel, …
Crisis social, cuestión nacional y violencia urbana. La misteriosa Kale Borroka en España
Proponemos en este artículo regresar sobre el fenómeno de la Kale Borroka presentando un nuevo régimen de comprensión de esta violencia callejera que se desarrolla desde principios de la década de los 90 en el País Vasco. El razonamiento se desglosa en un juego de cinco hipótesis que son otros tantos problemas sociológicos generales pudiendo servir de matriz de comparación con otras formas de violencia urbana vigentes particularmente en Francia

Does Policing the Risk Society Hold the Road Risk
Ericson and Haggerty's book, Policing the Risk Society (1997), sets out to annul Bittner's classical, coercion-based reading of the police and replace it with a radically new paradigm that foregrounds the panoptical or knowledge work dimension of the police and its potential to serve the interests of non-police social-disciplinary institutions. In this article, we test this neo-Foucauldian paradigm on the basis of a body of research into road tra…
The state, policing and “Old Continental Europe”
This article deals with the reshuffling of policing within the strong states of Continental Europe. It is argued that scholars should take social history into account because it shows that the problematic tension in security matters in Continental Europe is not public/ private, which the public sector has become able to deal with fairly well over the long term, but local/national—a central tension in the history of the formation of the countries …
I Order You to Adapt
This article presents a meta-evaluation of the evaluative researches on the 'police de proximité' led in France over the past twenty years. Five certainties have been highlighted concerning the evaluation of these ambiguous forms of police: the many meanings behind the concept of 'community policing', the danger of a management by the 'numbers' to evaluate a performance, the two meanings of the word 'impact', the problematic idea of 'good practic…

Polices municipales et risques urbains
Police forces and urban risk government The concept of risk, a new paradigm of public action, has provided a term common to the many services in charge of urban disorder. For the police, it results in a body of procedures and methods of observation, assessment and action, which requires many technical and organizational skills. These skills particularly raise the level of protection of private interests in local urban life
Les polices municipales en France, une perspective socio-politique
Up to now the municipal police in France have been virtually ignored by social science researchers. The present research starts by underlining their unique characteristics, noting that they are private municipal police, nor a form of national police which has been localised. It describes their development during the 1980's during a time of transformation of centre/periphery relations in relation to security and policing. The interventionism of th…
