Quels enseignements peut-on tirer d’une sociologie de l’acces dans la tres longue duree ? En declinant ces questions a travers une approche historique et comparative prenant pour cadre l’Europe depuis le Moyen-Âge, cette monographie sert deux objectifs principaux : documenter le role joue par la regulation de l’acces a l’universite au fil des siecles dans la production des societes, et interroger les mecanismes par lesquels opere le changement social.

For some States, teaching’ funding and structural support is managed in a tension between potential subsequent employment integration and removal of complainants. For asylum seekers, access to language cannot take place apart from social practices, and therefore of the development of local social ties. Volunteers who work within associations at sustaining French learning represent a necessarily incomplete attempt to resolve this issue. Based on an ethnographical research, this article explores the space of teaching-learning as a language socialisation and what is at stake for the various actors involved.

The comparison and nature of these international (UNESCO, OECD, EUROSTAT) and national (Germany, England, France, Switzerland) indicators in matters of inequalities of access to higher education question the tension between the discourses and the indicators they generate, and their recording at the national level. Who says what and with what consequences? What range of actors are involved in this process? What kind of power relations forms them? The author discusses how the issue of inequalities of access to higher education got on to the agendas of European organisations, identifies the policies that were defined, and sets them against an array of indicators, showing the discrepancy between the discourses and what the indicators reveal, the gap between the recommendations and the available tools. Why is there such a contrast? What are the mechanisms at work? Is it a technical or a political problem? What does this discrepancy reveal as far as national specificities within the construction of social inequalities are concerned?

But why should that be done? Building from the European Social Survey data, we show that it helps understanding the roles played by higher education in a given society. Furthermore, it grasps religious belongings as a potential indicator of inequalities, along with ethnic and socio-economic background. It thus underlines the cognitive dimension of inequalities, and calls for a broader taking into account of individual belongings in their analysis.

Still, research on Higher Education has largely let aside this dimension to mainly investigate the effect of cultural, social and economic resources. Sketching this articulation over the centuries this programmatic paper documents the reciprocal relation between access to Higher Education and citizenship, reflecting both its empirical and theoretical added value as it allows to connect different scales of analysis and offers insights on the role of Higher Education in the world historical development.

Although the situation is complex and varies from one societal context to another, a systematic review of the existing literature highlights the undeniable responsibility of public policies in this reproduction through three main channels: guidance systems and educational pathways, institutions’ stratification and hierarchization of fields of study and, finally, the financing of studies and tuition fees.

Dans le contexte de transformations de ces deux secteurs d’activité, en particulier de leurs systèmes de formation, les interrogations se sont multipliées. Au formidable pouvoir d’appel exercés par les métiers de la culture et des arts fait écho une inquiétude vis-à-vis de la précarisation d’une frange croissante de la main-d’œuvre dans l’académie. Il s’agira de questionner ces mouvements d’affection et de désaffection dans des activités vécues sur un mode vocationnel (don total de soi) au sein de marchés caractérisés par un haut degré de concurrence (beaucoup d’appelés, peu d’élus) et des rétributions symboliques et économiques très inégalement réparties selon les positions occupées dans ces espaces socialement hiérarchisés.

All social science disciplines perspectives are welcome (history, sociology, political sciences, etc.), as well as all levels of analysis, from the reconstitution of individual trajectories to macro-quantitative analysis, including policy analysis, institutional analysis, network analysis, etc. Research can focus on metropolitan universities (often the first training institution for “indigenous elites”) as well as universities in the colonized territories (including training institutions for metropolitan men of some specific social groups, as was the case in the Spanish empire), on individual higher education institutions, or on general empire policies. We expect the overall picture of the Special Issue to offer a state of the art allowing for a better understanding of the historical role played by the intersection of higher education access policies and citizenship policies in the globalization process by bringing together diverse levels and methods of analysis.
