Ainsi, cantonner dans un entre-soi du social les r&eacute;flexions sur les attentes d&eacute;velopp&eacute;es &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;gard des professionnels sans pointer leur dimension politique, revient &agrave; camoufler les enjeux de pouvoir. Tandis que les travailleurs sociaux s&rsquo;engagent pour aider les personnes vuln&eacute;rables, leur r&ocirc;le de maintien de l&rsquo;ordre &eacute;tabli n&rsquo;est pas questionn&eacute;. Cet article propose de questionner ce r&ocirc;le en recourant &agrave; une lecture politique de l&rsquo;action sociale, sous l&rsquo;&eacute;gide de Hannah Arendt.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="fr" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Ces logiques sont &agrave; l&rsquo;&oelig;uvre dans la formation &agrave; travers une vague de rationalisation impos&eacute;e par en haut, malgr&eacute; une volont&eacute; affich&eacute;e de donner plus d&rsquo;importance aux terrains. Ainsi, les propositions visant &agrave; uniformiser les pratiques autour d&rsquo;une identit&eacute; commune ne convainquent pas. Loin d&rsquo;appara&icirc;tre comme solutions au cloisonnement interprofessionnel, elles t&eacute;moignent du manque d&rsquo;attention aux critiques, telles que celles portant sur la cat&eacute;gorisation des publics, les contraintes &eacute;conomiques ou l&rsquo;absence du choix des profils des &eacute;tudiants, ainsi qu&rsquo;aux besoins, tel celui de maintenir des formations exigeantes.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="fr" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Face &agrave; la multiplication des pr&eacute;conisations visant, pour la formation, &agrave; r&eacute;pondre aux besoins des terrains en termes d&rsquo;employabilit&eacute;, d&eacute;velopper le lien avec la recherche appara&icirc;t tout aussi important. Donner &agrave; la recherche en, par, et pour le travail social, le statut de v&eacute;ritable discipline, redonnerait du pouvoir et de la visibilit&eacute; aux travailleurs sociaux, rendus plus conscients par l&rsquo;analyse des ph&eacute;nom&egrave;nes qui agissent sur leurs pratiques, et plus aptes &agrave; d&eacute;finir et d&eacute;fendre le sens de leurs actions. Sens qu&rsquo;il appara&icirc;t fondamental d&rsquo;ancrer dans l&rsquo;&eacute;thique du <i>care</i>, susceptible de former un v&eacute;ritable socle commun de valeurs pour le social.</span></span></span></span></p> <h3 style="text-align:justify"><strong>Abstract</strong></h3> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="fr" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">For a global analysis of public action as are examined practices in homes for young workers, Foyers jeunes travailleurs (FJT), this article demonstrates the neoliberal origin of the tensions between social workers&#39; personal aspirations and the injuctions they are meant to follow. To not highlight the political dimension of those injunctions would only serve to conceal the power struggles occuring within and without this sphere. Any analysis of the expectations placed on social workers mustn&#39;t be confined to the social work sphere only. Social workers aim to help the vulnerable, yet they often participate in maintaining the social status quo, in a manner rarely scrutinised. The present article proposes social work be scrutinised through a political lens, based on Hannah Arendt&#39;s work.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="fr" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Despite an apparent insistence on the importance of the frontline, training methods are still based on a rationalising principle. Thus, suggestions to shape practices as a coherent whole based on a common identity lack power of conviction. Indeed, such suggestions aimed at improving interprofessional collaboration, reflect how little mind is paid to critiques, especially in regards to public categorisation, financial constraints, the lack of diversity allowed in students&#39; profiles as well as the urge to maintain demanding courses. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="fr" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">In the face of ever multiplying recommendations seeking to shape courses according to the needs of the job market, it is essential to develop ties with the world of research. As the status of research changes, and gains in recognition, thus would social workers gain power both in oversight and independence. Indeed, once equipped with the proper tools to analyse how social phenomenons influence their work, they could more actively and deliberately define and defend the meaning of their practices. And it seems imperative that said meaning be grounded in the ethics of care, as they could translate into a common set of values for social work.</span></span></span></span></p>
