This book tackles the paradox that is the observation of hidden behaviours. Concerning the use of substances, such as alcohol and other drugs, which are prohibited, condemned, or censored by various instruments of control (legal, medical, moral…), these behaviours tend to be kept secret from significant others. Under what conditions could they be revealed to an unknown inquirer? The book discusses these conditions and the ways, and their limits, to ensure the validity and the reliability of the data collected and to analyse and interpret them. It serves as an instrument of reflection for researchers and a source of support for decision makers faced with researching and intervening in harmful drug use.
Since the 1980s, when she re-emerged from the peripheries into a more central position in music studies, Clara Schumann (1819–1896) has exerted an enduring fascination over the scholarly and popular imagination. Revisionist biographies, the uncovering of primary sources (diaries, letters, memorabilia), and filmic and literary depictions of Schumann have all brought into sharper focus the details and reception of her life, while simultaneously drawing attention to how much there is still to learn about her creativity. This book brings together a team of leading scholars to reappraise Clara Schumann in three particular respects: first, by delving deeper into her social and musical contexts; secondly, by offering fresh analytical perspectives on her songs and instrumental music; and thirdly, by reconsidering her legacy as a pianist and teacher. In doing so, the volume not only contributes to a rounded picture of Schumann's creative vision, but also opens up new pathways in the wider study of women in music.

Cet ouvrage examine les difficultés méthodologiques associées à la réalisation d'enquêtes en population générale visant à obtenir la représentativité d'agrégats (âge, sexe, région...) au niveau national. Ces difficultés sont particulièrement importantes quand il s'agit d'enquêter sur la consommation de substances psychoactives, surtout si elles sont illicites. Dans ce cas, en effet, au-delà de se cacher d'un ordre normatif juridique, sanitaire et moral qui les condamne, les comportements tendent également à être dissimulés au cours de la relation d'enquête. En nous appuyant sur vingt ans d'expérience avec ce type d'étude, nous discutons 1) les raisons, les modalités...
