Chapter 8 grapples with the implications of the author’s findings from her case studies. It highlights how the quest for hope can save lives when it brings families of critically ill children to the “right” treatment; how it can garner families and their children “microadvantages” throughout the treatment process; how it can help everyone involved express the depth of their care; how it can change how families engage with the social world around them; and how it can sometimes breed additional pain, suffering, turmoil, and regret.

Children's Learning

Girls and boys express their contribution to the learning community in their own ways. These contributions pose a challenge for pedagogues interested in the evolution of democracy as inconclusive dynamics of intergenerational exchange. Children’s claims as subjects of rights are linked to a concept of positioning in the social structure. Works by Janusz Korczak, Célestine Freinet and Paulo Freire explain this connection between pedagogy and social practices of expression. Reggio and Swedish pedagogues document children’s learning as well. This article examines the pride girls and boys display regarding their learning procedures and standpoints in community.

Evening Peak

The free daily papers, Metro and 20 Minutes, originally from Scandinavia, have conquered many national markets with a single recipe: short, illustrated and easily consumed content distributed in large urban areas during the morning or evening peak hours. However, could one say that the urban news mediatized by this press is structured according to the standardized infotainment and sensationalism objectives that are often associated with the commercial media? The research based on three case studies shows that these publications, which have a single logo and format worldwide, develop a specific, place-bound editorial line of exposing the most important risks perceived within late-modern cities by its reporters and their audiences. Interactionism and, more precisely, the ‘social world’ approach to a profession can help understand these differentiated representations of metropolitan dangers by offering a more place-bound and socio-anthropological perspective of journalism.

The Way

Based on two case studies, one of accusation of incest in the Trobriand Islands, the other of suspicion of theft in the Bronx, the prologue questions the foundational relationship between crime and punishment. Fassin’s approach to the social world—not as it ought to be but as it actually is—opens the way to a critical engagement with moral philosophy and legal theory. It is all the more necessary since contemporary societies are going through an unprecedented punitive moment.
