Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Anti-discrimination policies | | French term or phrase: brassages intervenus | | Plusieurs logiques se combinent, et parfois s’opposent, dans l’élaboration des classifications ethniques et raciales. Le registre politique vise à l’adéquation entre les catégories statistiques et les publics désignés par les dispositifs d’intervention. Cette exigence pragmatique se double également d’un objectif supplémentaire dans le cadre des politiques de la diversité ou multiculturalistes, comme c’est le cas au Canada, en Australie et dans une moindre mesure en Grande-Bretagne. La recherche d’une reconnaissance de la diversité pousse à enregistrer les identités individuelles, dans leur subjectivité, et à privilégier l’auto-déclaration avec des choix multiples possibles pour laisser la libre expression des brassages intervenus dans les générations précédentes. La complexité qui en résulte, si elle reflète bien les constructions identitaires, rend l’utilisation du monitoring plus compliquée et en partie inefficace. |
