In fact, more and more sociological investigations are being carried out using photography (Cuny et al., 2020), drawing (Nocerino, 2016), film (Durand and Sebag, 2020) or the re-use of audiovisual archives (Fournier, Cesaro, 2020), or even images produced by social actors (Galibert-La\u00een\u00e9, 2021). Nevertheless, the subjects of political sociology have received very little attention (Mattioli, 2007), unlike the fields of work, the family or the urban environment. Because it engages a reflexive gaze on social experience, because it possesses an intrinsic dramatic tension, the relationship with politics and political competition are subjects that are conducive to visual writing. And not just for fiction, reportage or documentary. There is a very strong analogy between situated analysis, as practised in some areas of the social sciences (in the wake of French ethnography or the microsociology initiated by the Chicago School), and the proponents of cin\u00e9ma-v\u00e9rit\u00e9 (particularly documentary films, films or series that seek to create a sense of reality). Basically, in each case, the aim is to capture a compartment of the social world, a world of relationships, positions and little routines whose principles of order, the logic of action and the representations that organise them are precisely what filmed observation aims to restore.<\/p>\n<p>Putting these situations into images, i.e. literally showing the conditions of existence, gives a double dimension to the expression \u00abfield politics\u00bb (Olivier de Sardan). Since Jacob Riis, recording reality through images has meant entering into politics in a new way, defined here as all forms of interaction in society that involve relationships (of force, submission, contestation, resignation) with the established order and the law. This broad definition of politics also covers all the forms taken in the ordinary social world by opposing ideas or interests, and competition between individuals or groups for resources. From this perspective, the visual writing of sociologists of politics must imagine photographic or filmic ways of showing the tensions and conflicts that affect society. Photodocumenting or videodocumenting a field project also means storing data (individual or group interviews, scenes from \u00abordinary life\u00bb, actions involving mobilisation, confrontation, negotiation, etc.) that will enable a deferred analysis of the social world based on the visual traces of the survey, which are often empirically very dense. This is particularly useful for understanding political subjectivation or politicisation in the making.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#ancreippimed\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/logo-ippi.med_-150x150.png\" alt=\"logo-ippi.med\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"logo-ippi.med\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#ancreippimed\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImages of politics and the politics of images in the Mediterranean <br \/>(IPPI Med)\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#ancreippiafsp\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/logoIPPI-300x190-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"logoIPPI-300x190\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"logoIPPI-300x190\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#ancreippiafsp\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImages of politics, politics of the image at the AFSP<br \/>(IPPI-AFSP)\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/logo-ippi.med_.png\" alt=\"logo-ippi.med\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"487\" width=\"958\" title=\"logo-ippi.med\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/ancreippimed\" title=\"Images of the political and the politics of the image in the Mediterranean (IPPI Med)\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\tImages of the political and the politics of the image in the Mediterranean (IPPI Med)\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<h4>Le <strong>inter-laboratory seminar<\/strong> (Mesopolhis, Iremam, Prism) supported by the MMSH under the title \"\u00a0<strong>Images of politics and the politics of images in the Mediterranean<\/strong> (IPPI Med)\" is coordinated by Philippe Aldrin, Pascal Cesaro, Pierre Fournier and Vincent Geisser.<\/h4>\n\t<p>Le <strong>seminar<\/strong> <strong>IPPI-Med<\/strong> aims to discuss experiences of research and artistic creation with a view to preparing research projects on images and with images based on a reflection on ordinary relationships to citizenship in a world where social affiliations are multiplied and where the \u00abtop-down\u00bb definition of citizenship, that of the State, the law and administrations, seems to compete with and sometimes be challenged by \u00abbottom-up\u00bb definitions through a plurality of practices.

On the one hand, it will look at the work of image professionals on the political subject (film-makers, artists, activists) and, on the other, at the \u00abwork\u00bb of social actors who film themselves and use this material in various symbolic productions, as much as they evaluate their reception of the productions of image professionals by the yardstick of this practice? Research collaborations with these 2 types of actors are conceivable. Both the dialogue with the artistic point of view and the forms of participatory science they represent deserve to be examined on their own merits. To explore this, the seminar will take its first Mediterranean fieldwork at the local level of the city of Marseille and in monographic works, with the aim of understanding what frames the relationship to citizenship when the relationship to the State changes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/V.-Geisser-et-A.-Nadjar-repondent-a-C.-Mattina-et-P.-Cesaro-apres-la-projection-de-Marseille.-Phocee-contre-fosses-a-la-MMSH-le-12-janvier-2023.-Credits-P.-Fournier.jpeg\" alt=\"V.

Fournier\n\t<p>Through discussion sessions based around the viewing of films chosen from among fiction, author-driven documentaries and films by researchers, the seminar proposes to reflect on the possibilities of using images to investigate political issues involving a relationship to citizenship in Mediterranean areas. The seminar will take note of the growing familiarity of social actors with images and with the display of a public image of themselves through social networks. The effects of self-censorship and the profiling of respondents in relation to the researcher are no less important to consider when engaging in such research practices to document the relationship to citizenship.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tProgramme of IPPI-Med seminars 2024-2025\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"http:\/\/37653\" content=\"Axe transversal \u00ab Images et Sciences sociales \u00bb.

It aims to promote them within political science by examining the methodological possibilities they offer. It will look at the ways in which they can be used to produce and collect data, as well as to reconstruct and present the results of research.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afsp.info\/congres\/congres-2022\/conversations-methodologiques\/cm-06\/\">More information<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SCIENTIFIC PRESENTATION - Inspired by the tradition of visual anthropology, visual sociology developed particularly in the United States in the 1960s in the form of photographs and then documentary films. The practice is closely associated with an ethnographic, immersive approach to sociological work. Practised in a confidential manner, visual sociology gradually gained recognition in the 1970s (Becker, 1974), before becoming a movement in its own right in the field of academic sociology. The thesis and work of Douglas Harper (Harper, 1982, 1987, 2012) helped to strengthen the scientific community's interest in \u00abthinking visually\u00bb in the 1980s. In the 1990s, a growing number of American sociologists used still or filmed images to convey the reality of their fieldwork and make the results of their empirical research known beyond academic circles.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Visual Studies approach and techniques are established and recognised within the social sciences, thanks in particular to the democratisation of audiovisual tools (Giglio-Jacquemot, Gehin, 2012). In fact, more and more sociological investigations are being carried out using photography (Cuny et al., 2020), drawing (Nocerino, 2016) or film (Durand and Sebag, 2020), or even reusing images produced by social actors (Galibert-La\u00een\u00e9, 2021). Nevertheless, political sociologists have done very little work on the subjects of political sociology (Mattioli, 2007), unlike in the fields of work, the family or the urban environment. And yet, because it possesses an intrinsic dramatic tension, politics is an ideal subject for visual writing. Whether we're talking about electoral competition or the discreet world of the exercise of power, politics has obvious videogenic properties that fiction and documentary readily explore. The same applies to all forms of interaction in society that involve relationships (of force, submission, contestation, resignation) to the established order and the law. Politics also covers all the forms taken in the ordinary social world by opposing ideas or interests, and competition between individuals or groups for resources. Many political scientists study this perception of the artist and examine the similarities and differences with the contributions of researchers (Ta\u00efeb, Lefebvre, 2020; Laugier, Corcuff, 2021). Fewer of them consider that images can in themselves constitute a mode<\/p>\n<p>(Aldrin and Gr\u00e9gory, 2018; Moualek, 2018), inviting us to identify the questions surrounding its legitimacy.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about politics as a visual sociologist raises a number of questions. Approaching the image as a tool for collecting data in a survey situation leads the researcher to question the implicit assumptions of interview and direct observation methods, which have become commonplace (Becker, 2001). By offering the respondent a space in which to express him\/herself, the image often facilitates entry into the field (Cornu, 2010) by assigning a predefined role to the researcher (Conord, 1999). But how does visual investigation change the relationship between the interviewee and the field? For example, isn't there a risk that the potential staging of subjects will be reinforced among the most politically competent respondents, such as \u00abpolitical professionals\u00bb?<\/p>\n<p>To what extent does a visual investigation of politics produce a specific gain in reflexivity? What does this combination of techniques and sources entail? For example, how can visual tools - such as photo-elicitation (Collier, 1967) or video-elicitation (Fournier, Cesaro, 2020) - bring out a voice that is sometimes \u00abprevented\u00bb (Bonnet, 2012), particularly on sensitive subjects such as voting (Moualek, 2018)? More generally, the subjects covered by political sociology can pose a challenge for researchers using images because, while it is accepted that the camera or the still camera are relevant for observing interactions (Lallier, 2009), gestures, frames of action (Desaleux and Martinais, 2011) or bodies (Hasque, 2014), how can they be used to observe the abstract relationships of power and domination that are often masked or reserved for the \u00abordinary\u00bb scenes of life that are most closed to the camera?<\/p>\n<p>While it is common to equate \u00abvisual sociology\u00bb with qualitative approaches, to what extent can images also be used in quantitative studies (Filion, 2011), for example to study collective mobilisations or meetings? How can we think \u00absociologically\u00bb through images without reducing them to the illustration of a survey carried out beforehand? More than simply recording reality, the use of images requires the researcher to produce a point of view (Buob, 2020) and to construct a narrative. What status, then, should be given to the finished product in relation to related forms such as news reporting, activist films and auteur documentaries? How, for example, can you make a film about politics without making it a political film that \u00abengages\u00bb the researcher?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the use of images is often synonymous with raising the profile of social agents who are invisibilised (Lendaro, 2020) or even politically disqualified (Le Hou\u00e9rou, 2012). So how can we make people visible without succumbing to the \u00abpopulist\u00bb temptation (Grignon and Passeron, 1989) or, conversely, \u00abwithout stigmatising\u00bb (Larcher, 2012)?<\/p>\n<p>All these questions need to be addressed if we are to develop visual methods within political science. Several speakers from the fields of political science and sociology will be presenting their research and teaching experiences, with the aim of sharing their experiences, tricks and questions.<\/p>\n<p>PARTICIPANTS<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Harper, Professor Emeritus of Sociology Duquesne University<\/p>\n<p>The state of Visual Sociology and its debates<\/p>\n<p>J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Moualek, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Evry-Paris Saclay \/ Centre Pierre Naville<\/p>\n<p>For a visual sociology of politics.
