"How do we reflect upon ourselves and our concerns in relation to society, and vice versa? Human reflexivity works through 'internal conversations' using language, but also emotions, sensations and images. Most people acknowledge this 'inner-dialogue' and can report upon it. However, little research has been conducted on 'internal conversations' and how they mediate between our ultimate concerns and the social contexts we confront. In this book, Margaret Archer argues that reflexivity is progressively replacing routine action in late modernity, shaping how ordinary people make their way through the world. Using interviewees' life and work histories, she shows how 'internal conversations' guide the occupations people seek, keep or quit; their stances towards structural constraints and enablements; and their resulting patterns of social mobility."

"The importance of the Internet to trade unionism has not gone unnoticed by academics, and while many have perceived the need for unions to engage in social media, there has not been any study of how unions use social media. This paper provides a systematic examination of union social media use in terms of method, scope and content. The University and College Union (UCU) Twitter account was used as a case study. Tweets (n?=?1,615) were collected over a four-month period (January 1–April 30, 2014) from the official UCU account with followers (n?=?12,301) also categorised to determine who is listening. Findings are discussed with reference to earlier debates on union use of the Internet. We find that while UCU has moved with technological developments by using Twitter, the content of the union's messages remain in line with traditional union communication, and the engagement opportunities of social media are underutilised."

"L'article entend dévoiler les usages managériaux des accords libératoiresayant pour objet l'insertion des travailleurs handicapés. L'auteure montre en effet que ces accords libératoires sont fréquemment l'objet d'actions de communication, destinées à faire valoir l'engagement de l'entreprise, de la branche ou du groupe sur des sujets tels que la Responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) et la diversité. Si ces actions de communication prennentdes formes très variées, elles instillent une ambiguïté quant aux objectifsde ces accords. Les positions syndicales face à ces usages managériaux duhandicap sont diffi ciles à cerner ; s'il s'agit, en interne, d'une thématique denégociation collective à la fois consensuelle et peu investie, les campagnes publicitaires massives et onéreuses en externe sont vivement critiquées, notamment par les syndicats non signataires."

"This paper presents the most significant results of a study into the political communication of the Rome branch of the M5S, or Five Stars Movement, conducted through analysis of its blog, a big text corpus, comprising posts, comments and images, which brought together between the period immediately prior to the May 2013 administrative elections and the present day. This corpus was subjected to advanced statistical text analysis, and targeted hermeneutic and content analysis. Semiotic analyses of visual material were also performed, in addition to network analyses of blog contributors and analyses of communicational efficacy. Research team members from several disciplines and a variety of institutions, worked in constant collaboration, adopting a mixed-method approach."

"This paper explores the way in which the youth sections of three British unions use social media. We contribute to both the literature on unions and young workers, and union engagement with social media by providing the first systematic examinations of union youth sections' social media usage in terms of method, scope and content. The paper examines differences in Twitter usage between the youth sections of GMB, PCS and Unite over a two‐year period from June 1, 2014, to May 31, 2016. The paper considers the extent to which these union accounts fully utilise the interactive capabilities of social media, and whether the content of messages is specifically targeted towards young workers. We find similarities between the three accounts in terms of message content and focus and that the youth sections of unions are more involved with the interactive capabilities of Web 2.0 than the existing literature suggests."

"Le télétravail est un mode d'organisation désormais largement répandu. Néanmoins, il peut s'avérer néfaste pour les télétravailleurs, notamment en appauvrissant leurs échanges et en nuisant à leur santé, à leur performance et à leur implication. Pour remédier à ces risques et favoriser une communication constructive en situation de télétravail, le développement d'espaces de discussion du travail (EDT) apparaît comme une piste intéressante. À partir d'une enquête réalisée auprès de salariés de la Sécurité Sociale française (N=1315), nous avons mené une analyse de régression par équations structurelles. Nos résultats montrent que plus les EDT sont fréquents et bien perçus par les salariés en situation de télétravail, meilleurs sont leur bien-être, leur performance, ainsi que leur implication, et moins fort est leur épuisement professionnel."
