Préférences musicales et distinction sociale en Suisse

Cet article analyse dans le contexte suisse la stratification sociale des goûts musicaux à partir des données issues de l'Enquête sur les pratiques culturelles réalisée en 2008. Il montre, d'une part, que le modèle élaboré par Bourdieu conserve une valeur heuristique et, d'autre part, que la grille d'analyse que nécessite le test de la thèse de l'omnivorisme...

Privacy and Democracy: What the Secret Ballot Reveals

Does the rejection of pure proceduralism show that we should adopt Brettschneider's value theory of democracy? The answer, this paper suggests, is ‘no'. There are a potentially infinite number of incompatible ways to understand democracy, of which the value theory is, at best, only one. The paper illustrates and substantiates its claims by looking at what the secret ballot...

Democracy and Cultural Equality in the Work of Hannah Arendt

Publié au début des années 1950, La Crise de la culture est un ouvrage majeur de la philosophe allemande. Au-delà des "enjeux de l'usure de la tradition" à laquelle elle fait ici référence, son interrogation sur la société de masse théorisée depuis l'analyse du totalitarisme trouve un écho particulièrement fort dans sa critique de la culture de masse assimilée à...

Expectations of clumpy resources influence predictions of sequential events

When predicting the next outcome in a sequence of events, people often appear to expect streaky patterns, such as that sport players can develop a “hot hand,” even if the sequence is actually random. This expectation, referred to as positive recency, can be adaptive in environments characterized by resources that are clustered across space or time (e.g., expecting to find multiple...

Older but not wiser—Predicting a partner's preferences gets worse with age

To test the influence of relationship length on ability to predict a partner's preferences, 58 younger (M = 24.1 years) and 20 older (M = 68.7 years) couples made predictions in three domains that varied in daily importance. While prediction accuracy was generally better than chance, longer relationship length correlated with lower prediction accuracy and greater overconfidence...
