Teenagers at school
Philippe Meirieu has often expressed his views on what schools should be. Here he sets out his proposals for making high schools more welcoming to young people, and thus easier for them to learn.
The virtual cybermuseum [Thesis].
Exploration of the conditions by which a cybermuseum falls under the figure of the museum and can be said to be virtual. "A properly museum-like figure of the cybermuseum is found in the use of landscape metaphors of large dataset visualization systems, reworked for the heritage field and other digital museum objects. Immersion in an environment that is both aesthetic and cognitive is achieved."
The Mechanics of Conflict in French Cinema [Thesis]
As a counterpoint to the recommendations of positive and non-violent communication strategies, a thesis on family disputes in the cinema, which brings to light a sublimated drama. We will play it if we need to get out of our daily conflicts together and with our heads held high.
Preparing migrants for job interviews [Thesis].
"This research work opens up a space of intersection between an associative activity of training migrants, their encounter with employers and the academic view of these facts. The product of this intersection is analyzed in such a way as to document the gap between recruiter expectations and candidate responses in a field little explored until now: that of a world of solidarity."
A "common" world [Thesis].
A journey into intentional communities and their concrete way of building a world in positive resistance to the rationalizing homogenization of capitalism. How the "common" is constructed and how autonomy, as a category of the everyday, confronts consumerism with democracy. "Through action, it is the real that is directly targeted and not the world of ideas and ideologies."
