Résumé Cet article étudie l’évolution des attitudes des élites politiques depuis l’époque carolingienne jusqu’à l’émergence des communautés urbaines (XIIe siècle) dans la lutte contre la faim et les disettes, surtout dans les Pays-Bas du Sud. Le texte fait le bilan de l’action des Carolingiens, sur les plans économiques, spirituels et religieux, qui n’est pas le résultat de l’addition de deux logiques disjointes, une portée par les élites religieuses, l’autre par les acteurs pragmatiques laïcs : ces deux leviers sont mobilisés de manière simultanée par les mêmes individus. Cette juxtaposition s’observe vraisemblablement chez les paysans. L’article étudie ensuite le glissement vers les princes territoriaux de la gestion des réactions à la faim à l’époque post-carolingienne et ottonienne (Xe-XIe siècles). À l’aide d’un témoignage du début du XIIe siècle, l’article envisage ensuite comment les communautés urbaines commencent à autonomiser leurs pratiques de gestion de la faim, en s’émancipant le plus souvent des logiques d’action morales ou religieuses. Certains épisodes de crise aiguë provoquent toutefois un mouvement de résurrection des attitudes qui convoquent l’économique, le religieux et l’ordre moral. L’article conclut en évoquant des pistes de recherche sur la manière dont les institutions gardaient la mémoire des attitudes idéales en contexte de crise.

The psychological clinic, involving different experiences and interrelations between health and education, is mainly understood as a space of recollection of questions that characterize human existence. By means of a bibliographical reading, this study investigates human phenomena that, understood under the everyday chaos, echoes understandings for the psychological clinic as a political arena. Based on Hannah Arendt, the text begins by discussing a possible clinical action interfacing with politics. It highlights gender identities and sexual orientations as constructs that permeate and are permeated by forces that sometimes direct and sometimes exclude, given the confusions regarding power and violence that from antiquity reveals their non-conformity with psychological science. It calls into question the place of psychology, as knowledge and praxis, pointing out that the psychologist's attitude should move towards ethics and dialogue with a clinical and political action.

L'antinomie entre philosophie politique et science politique est consécutive à celle de leur démarche respective. La science politique se réclamerait d'une méthode empirique fondée sur l'observation, l'analyse et l'interprétation des textes ou des faits politiques concrets. Confortée en cela par son empiricité, la science politique fustige une méthode abstraite et évaluative propre à la philosophie politique. Une analyse minutieuse des démarches rationnelle et empirique permet, cependant, de comprendre que leur antinomie est inclusive et non exclusive ; puisqu'une action politique soucieuse du bonheur collectif ne saurait être totalement rationaliste, ni totalement empiriste ; elle devrait avoir un pôle rationnel et un pôle empirique ; le premier pôle permettrait à l'acteur politique de concevoir parfaitement l'objectif à atteindre ainsi que les valeurs à promouvoir au sein de la société dont il a la charge, tandis que le deuxième lui donnerait les supports concrets sur lesquels il doit s'appuyer pour le réaliser. Le croisement dialectique de ces deux pôles méthodologiques, dans une action politique qui a pour téléologie la valorisation de l'homme et la recherche de l'intérêt commun, assure à cette dernière une efficacité et une humanisation certaines. Le politique doit, par conséquent, être à la fois un bon rationaliste et un bon empiriste dans le feu de l'action s'il veut minimiser le cynisme et les crises politiques contingentes, et bâtir une communauté où l'éthique est le chien de garde des institutions et du bonheur partagé.

The article aims to discuss the dialectical relationship between diversity and inequality in contexts of socio-spatial fragmentation through a geographical perspective. We start from the premise that thinking about social diversity refers itself to the particularities of the social phenomenon whilst reflecting on social inequality requires, in broad terms, an analysis of the social structure. Initially, based on research results by the British NGO OXFAM Brazil and their report "The distance that unites us: an overview of Brazilian inequalities", we sought to articulate inequality and diversity as categories to reflect on the Brazilian context, its achievements and setbacks. Next, based on the systematized data of our own researches, we operationalized the category "social class" to meditate on popular entrepreneurship in various neighborhoods and cities in Bahia, Brazil. Ultimately, we tried to deepen the discussion about the process of socio-spatial fragmentation in the different spatial scales addressed and to reflect on the possibilities of political action in adverse contexts of fragmentation.

Cet article explore, à travers l’imaginaire, les conditions de possibilité du changement social et politique. Prenant comme point de départ L’institution imaginaire de la société de Castoriadis, l’article cherche des voies pour défendre la possibilité d’une nouveauté radicale sans pour autant tomber dans l’idée d’un imaginaire transcendant, ni dans l’imposition d’une volonté individuelle. Pour ce faire, le fonctionnement de l’imaginaire social est travaillé à partir de celui de la mémoire. On reprend ainsi la mémoire comme écriture telle que Derrida la pense au départ des analyses de Freud, et on découvre comment mémoire et imaginaire peuvent s’éclairer en devenant métaphore l’un pour l’autre. Comprendre l’imaginaire comme mémoire et la mémoire comme écriture permet d’envisager l’action humaine comme fondamentalement créatrice et commune. Notre action étant constitutive de notre réalité, il est ainsi possible de comprendre comment nous avons la possibilité d’instituer une réalité autre.

The purpose of this article is to question the meaning of education for democracy. In doing so, it begins by examining the contemporary contents of the concept of democracy and its historical development. From there, a meaning or connotation of democratic education is suggested based on Aristotle's ethical and political proposal, under the assumption that such a framework allows for a useful reinterpretation of the contemporary paradigm of deliberative democracy. The thesis defended throughout the article is that training for democracy implies a paideia whereby individuals are given the skills they need to carry out their role as citizens. This means efforts in the field of education should be directed towards developing and strengthening reflection, ethical-political reasoning, and the ways and means required to seek consensus. Seen from this perspective, these are the tools that allow for dealing with the problems and disagreements typical of the interaction that occurs between individuals by means of democratic principles.
