Les sciences humaines et sociales au travail (II): Que faire des données de la recherche ?


Tracés



Social sciences and humanities at work (II): The politics of research data

The past few years have witnessed the multiplication of seminars, conferences and training sessions devoted to "research data" as well as the development of new infrastructures and the allocation of new financial means to manage them. In line with new policies geared towards "open science" and the “replicability” of research, the current movement for open data enjoins researchers to archive the data they produce and make them available to the public. At the same time, new regulations have emerged regarding the protection of personal data, which reinforce the administrative and bureaucratic constraints that weight upon field research, especially for those working on so-called “sensitive” topics. Finally, the rise of digital surveillance poses unprecedented ethical and technical challenges to researchers willing to secure their data and protect the anonymity of their interviewees. These recent developments place research data at the heart of major political and scientific issues. Faced with a number of contradictory injunctions (protecting data, making them available), researchers have engaged in controversies and debates. Given the many questions and concerns that the current “data moment” provokes, this special issue proposes to take a step back and reflect on our trade and practices: what are data really? What is their role in the work of human and social sciences? What are we (researchers and research personnel) meant to do with such data? And what does the current “data moment” tell us about the changing economics of science? The articles of this special issue make a first contribution to a reflection that must primarily be collective.

Discours climatosceptiques
Discourses on climate denialism
This issue of the review Mots, devoted to discourses on climate denialism, aims to shed light on the past and present forms of climate denialist statements, as well as their production and circulation, by paying attention both to the political and media fields as well as social networks and "alternative" digital communities.

Le travail et ses maux
Work and its evils
This dossier brings together contributions dealing with words at work. Coming from political science, sociology, anthropology or information and communication sciences, the authors examine the way in which the neo-managerial discourse is conveyed and imposed by private and public sector executives and the way in which employees respond to it.

Documenter l'université qui lutte
Documenting the struggling university
2020 was a special year in many ways: Covid-19, but also the strong mobilization against the Research Programming Law in France. It was important for us to make a mobilized issue that would report on what happened during this unusual year.

Angoisse
Anxiety
While anxiety as a category is abundantly mobilized to designate a bodily sensation of malaise peculiar to the individual, this issue of Traces proposes to examine anxiety as a regime of experience in the face of uncertainty, using the tools no longer of psychoanalysis but of the human and social sciences.
