For issue 167, volume 44, forthcoming March 2022
This issue aims to discuss discourses, practices and methods that build the search for "inclusive society" or the injonction to a "(more) inclusive society" for the gerontological field. The call has three main domains :
1. Construction (s) and deconstruction (s)
This first avenue invites papers to discuss the very concept of an inclusive society and its many variations: caring, welcoming, supportive, empowering, age-friendly, ... Is there a common base that exists in all of the definitions, whether old or new? What perspective does a historical perspective allow us to develop on this subject? What are the issues and who are the actors supporting these definitions? What are the tensions between the main dimensions that structure inclusion (participation, solidarity, citizenship, destigmatization, awareness, intergeneration...)? What are the norms and the prescriptive dimension induced by the way of considering or, on the contrary, leaving certain aspects aside ? Can we highlight forms of mistrust or resistance to the promotion of an inclusive society?
2. At the heart of inclusive society: citizenship and social participation issues
The aim of this axis is to explore one of the specificities of this contemporary "inclusive society", namely the way in which it would promote, in discourse and/or in practices, the real consideration of "the voice of the old".
How does such mobilization and participation of older people organize within the community, regardless of their social or health status? How are the logics of “co-construction” organized? Whether at home or in institutions, how can we encourage people’s "self-determination" beyond tokenist consultation?
3. Inclusive society: plural realities
The last section of this call proposes to address and analyse the experiences and initiatives implemented, at various scales and in various fields of application (housing, transport and tourism, social and physical environment, workplaces, cultural or sporting activities, fight against stereotypes and discriminations...), which are part of this "inclusive society". What lessons can we draw from transnational variations of a same concept or of a same framework for public action? Which actors take up and support these practices in a given community? How do these practices redefine the relationships between stakeholders, whether they are State representatives, civil society or people speaking for themselves? In the name of the inclusion of the greatest number, is there a risk that specific needs of some minorities would be neglected? Or that mechanisms aimed at the inclusion of some would lead to the exclusion of others?
