Activités de coordination et de catégorisation dans un Collectif de Sans-papiers : une analyse conversationnelle
Résumé
In 2002 I began a fieldwork with a 'Collectif' of Parisian "Sans-papiers" (immigrants with no papers), in order to describe some of their verbal activities, through ethnographic observation and Conversational Analysis. Here I empirically describe some of the procedures developped by members of the ‘Collectif' to manage their ordinary militant affairs, "treating as problematic phenomena the actual methods whereby members of a society make the social structures of everyday activities observable" [Garfinkel 1967]. Through in situ observations of weekly meetings, recordings and transcriptions, an extensive corpus of audio data was produced. Two main emerging phenomena have been analysed: the coordination in leading and managing the meeting, and some specific, « culturally marked » categorisation activities.
