Based on comprehensive and new archival research at over a dozen schools across Ireland, Britain, and France, 'Catholics of Consequence' traces the lives and education of over two thousand Irish children in the nineteenth century, examining how this affected Irish life, and the history of education.

L’objectif principal du programme SAS (Signs and States) est de construire une sémiologie de l’État et c’est en fonction de cet objectif qu’ont été choisis les thèmes traités dans le cadre des conférences qui ont déjà été organisées : rituels, connotations, langages, poids de l’implicite, vérité, valeurs…, toutes notions qui, à l’exception toutefois de la première, ne sont que rarement au premier plan des préoccupations des historiens. Il s’agit pour nous d’appliquer l’un des principes qui irrigue l’œuvre de Saussure, à savoir que le langage est avant tout un système de signes : bien sûr, au premier chef, les signes linguistiques, mais aussi tous les systèmes de signes permettant la communication entre les êtres humains. Ils doivent tous être étudiés avec la même attention, non seulement en tant que tels, mais aussi dans leurs combinaisons multiples, puisqu’ils interagissent évidemment entre eux et s’articulent pour produire du sens. Analyser le politique à partir de la lettre seule du texte politique (qu’il soit pratique ou théorique) est insuffisant puisqu’il ne s’agit là que d’un seul système de signes alors même que, si l’on veut satisfaire aux exigences de l’analyse du discours, d’autres systèmes qui fonctionnent simultanément doivent être pris en compte, telles que la position sociale ou intellectuelle de l’émetteur, les conditions matérielles de production du discours, les spécificités de la prononciation ou la gestique de l’émetteur lorsqu’il s’agit d’une parole. D’où la volonté de se tourner vers des structures dont la portée en tant que système de signes est plus rarement analysée, comme le marquage de l’espace urbain et les marqueurs de la distinction sociale. Tous ces systèmes concourent pourtant à produire cette légitimité implicite dont l’anthropologie politique permet de vérifier qu’elle est bien au cœur de la construction du consensus de la société politique, qu’il prenne la forme d’une véritable acceptation ou qu’il s’agisse seulement de…

Stories abound about the lengths to which middle- and upper-middle-class parents will go to ensure a spot for their child at a prestigious university. From the Suzuki method to calculus-based physics, from AP tests all the way back to early-learning Kumon courses, students are increasingly pushed to excel with that Harvard or Yale acceptance letter held tantalizingly in front of them. And nowhere is this drive more apparent than in our elite secondary schools. In Class Warfare, Lois Weis, Kristin Cipollone, and Heather Jenkins go inside the ivy-yearning halls of three such schools to offer a day-to-day, week-by-week look at this remarkable drive toward college admissions and one of its most salient purposes: to determine class. Drawing on deep and sustained contact with students, parents, teachers, and administrators at three iconic secondary schools in the United States, the authors unveil a formidable process of class positioning at the heart of the college admissions process. They detail the ways students and parents exploit every opportunity and employ every bit of cultural, social, and economic capital they can in order to gain admission into a "Most Competitive" or "Highly Competitive Plus" university. Moreover, they show how admissions into these schools-with their attendant rankings-are used to lock in or improve class standing for the next generation. It's a story of class warfare within a given class, the substrata of which-whether economically, racially, or socially determined-are fiercely negotiated through the college admissions process. In a historic moment marked by deep economic uncertainty, anxieties over socioeconomic standing are at their highest. Class, as this book shows, must be won, and the collateral damage of this aggressive pursuit may just be education itself, flattened into a mere victory banner.
