Towards a Vigilant Society sheds light on the emergence of a new society of vigilance, in particular the actions of anti-migrant groups around Dover and Calais. Based on field research on both sides of the channel, it studies the dynamics of these groups - midway between a social movement and vigilantism - at these two key points in the international migration route between the European Union and the United Kingdom. In recent years, a series of anti-migrant groups have been mobilising on both sides of the Channel to counter migrations. Their actions range from demonstrations, to violence against migrants. And by staging their actions on social media, which is an extraordinary sounding board, these groups can build an online community and a mass audience, influencing public opinion and even the migration policies of states.

Covering a wide range of different online platforms, including social media sites and chatrooms, this volume is a comprehensive exploration of the current state of sociological and criminological scholarship focused on online deviance. Understanding deviance broadly, the handbook acknowledges both an objective normative approach and a subjective, reactivist approach to the topic, putting into sharp relief the distinctions between cybercrime and online deviance on the one hand, and wider concerns of online communities related to online deviance on the other. Divided into five sections, the first section is devoted primarily to scholarship about the theories and methods foundational to explori...
Dal 2012 un gruppo franco-italiano di ricercatori in scienze del linguaggio e in scienze dell’informazione e della comunicazione persegue una riflessione pluridisciplinare sui media. La quarta edizione itinerante, avente come tematica le emozioni nell’analisi dei media, si è svolta a Bordeaux (2019). Questa raccolta riunisce gli interventi delle due giornate internazionali dedicate a tale riflessione. La questione delle emozioni è da alcuni anni trattata in maniera approfondita nelle scienze del linguaggio e nelle scienze dell’informazione e della comunicazione. La specificità di questo volume sta nell’affrontare aspetti di ordine metodologico e teorico. Esso si divide in 3 parti....

Si les quartiers populaires ne sont pas des déserts politiques, l'action collective y demeure fragile et fragmentée et n’a pu se constituer en mouvement social d’ampleur. Pour comprendre ce phénomène, ce livre se concentre sur les pratiques des pouvoirs publics qui contribuent à entraver ces mobilisations : disqualification des militant∙e∙s ...
Ce nouveau numéro des Cahiers de la LCD propose un regard croisé autour des handicaps invisibles et des discriminations et violences subies par celles et ceux qui en sont les porteurs. Qu’il s’agisse d’inclusion dans les universités, de violences au travail ou d’agressions sexuelles, d’intégration dans les politiques de la ville ou de combats associatifs, Anastasia Meidani offre une somme de textes au panorama large afin de restituer des expériences souvent silenciées.
Selon la formule célèbre de Max Weber, l'État revendique le monopole de la violence physique légitime. Tout au long de l'époque contemporaine, il organise des forces de l'ordre de plus en plus nombreuses et professionnalisées. Des amateurs n'ont pourtant jamais cessé de participer aux fonctions policières. Ils (rarement elles) viennent en renfort quand le besoin s'en fait sentir ou quand le désir les y entraîne. Appui citoyen ou aiguillon sécuritaire, ils revêtent des visages variés : foules révolutionnaires formant leur propre police, gardes nationaux héroïques ou ventripotents, " amis de l'ordre " armés de gourdins, détectives amateurs de la Belle Époque, volontaires ou ...
A magisterial comparative study, Proud to Punish recenters our understanding of modern punishment through a sweeping analysis of the global phenomenon of "rough justice": the use of force to settle accounts and enforce legal and moral norms outside the formal framework of the law. While taking many forms, including vigilantism, lynch mobs, people's courts, and death squads, all seekers of rough justice thrive on the deliberate blurring of lines between law enforcers and troublemakers. Digital networks have provided a profitable arena for vigilantes, who use social media to build a following and publicize their work, as they debase the bodies of the accused for purposes of edification and entertainment. It is this unabashed pride to punish, and the new punitive celebrations that actualize, publicize, and commercialize it, that this book brings into focus. Recounted in lively prose, Proud to Punish is both a global map of rough justice today and an insight into the deeper nature of punishment as a social and political phenomenon.
