Journée d'étude "Youth Intimacies - Epistemologies and Methodologies in Britain and in France"

Présentation 

[FR]
A l’heure où les sciences sociales s’intéressent de manière croissante au champ de la sphère privée et de l’intimité relationnelle, cette journée d’étude a pour objectif de réunir des spécialistes dont les travaux en France et au Royaume-Uni ont permis d’enrichir les connaissances relatives à l’intimité des jeunes.

A partir d’exemples de projets menés sur les relations amoureuses, sexuelles ou encore parentales, l’objectif de cette journée sera d’étudier de manière réflexive et comparative les différentes approches théoriques et méthodologiques sur lesquelles se fonde la recherche. Les définitions, théories et outils (enquêtes démographiques, entretiens qualitatifs mais aussi les méthodes visuelles, narratives et performatives), ainsi que leurs contextes culturels et institutionnels, seront examinés afin d’échanger autour de la production des savoirs dans les deux pays.

[ENG]
At a time when the social sciences are taking an increasing interest in the field of the private sphere and intimacy in relationships, the aim of the symposium is to bring together specialists whose work in France and the UK has enriched our knowledge of young people's intimacy.

Using examples of projects on love, sexual and parental relationships, the aim of this symposium is to examine, in a reflective and comparative way, the different theoretical and methodological approaches underpinning research. Definitions, theories and tools (demographic surveys, qualitative interviews as well as visual, narrative and performative methods) and their cultural and institutional contexts, will be explored in order to discuss the production of knowledge in the two countries.
