Au dela des categorisations ethnoraciales (descendant.e / non descendant.e de Japonais) et classees (ouvrier.ere / independant.e), generalement utilisees pour decrire ce fait migratoire, les categories de sexe contribuent aussi a le caracteriser. Dans la perspective de l’intersectionnalite, la these s’appuie sur l’ethnographie multisituee pour apprehender la realisation des rapports sociaux de sexe, de race et de classe. Ceux-ci s’actualisent dans des pratiques circonscrites mais aussi dans des contextes varies ou l’intersectionnalite se revele d’autant mieux que les rapports de pouvoir peuvent changer, s’inverser, « s’invisibiliser ». Pour ce faire, trois espaces de mobilisation ont ete explores : des ecoles bresiliennes, des syndicats et des associations locales. Des observations in situ etalees entre 2006 et 2011 ont ete completees par quatre-vingt-dix entretiens semi-directifs en portugais et en japonais avec des familles migrantes, les migrant.e.s mobilise.e.s, les leaderships et leurs soutiens exterieurs. En examinant leurs interactions, l’enquete multisituee montre que la realisation des rapports de domination s’apprehende a partir de trois echelles d’analyse : nationale (les contextes japonais et bresilien), sectorielle (syndical, educatif et associatif) et situationnelle (les dynamiques des organisations dans chaque secteur). De cette facon, la these fait ressortir les nouvelles frontieres de la societe japonaise et les reconfigurations de l’imaginaire national bresilien selon les sites de l’enquete.

Our research is based on a quantitative study involving human resource management professionals in Quebec (n = 296).FindingsThe results allow us to link GEMs with certain SHRM orientations (Yang and Konrad, 2011) and institutional pressures (Lawrenceet al., 2009). The findings show that, for approximately two-thirds of the employers in the sample, gender equality was not a strategic priority. Consistent with our hypothesis, a greater number of GEMs were found when gender equality was a strategic priority for the employer. Unionization and legal requirements were also ...

Many studies have explored leadership in relation to the political field and to the incarnation of political roles, including such high-profile cases as Presidents, Prime Ministers or party leaders. A recent publication based on a range of international case studies in western contexts attests to this dominant trend (Alexandre-Collier, Vergniolle de Chantal, 2015). One of the main causes of this trend is that leadership in western societies is usually related to a dominant position, which has been incorporated in the social image of a white man from an upper or middle class background (Morris, Staggenborg, 2004; Acker, 2006; Achin, Dorlin and Rennes, 2008). A similar configuration is noticeable in Japan where the leadership positions have been gradually monopolized throughout history by men with high social status (Neary, 1996). This historical trend also reflects the patriarchal paradigm which was widely disseminated from the "modernization period" of Meiji (Ueno, 2004). Furthermore, the early studies point out a so-called "weakness" of Japanese leadership, which would be connected with the seniority system through a specific patronage among the relationships between the oyabun, an aged leader, and his or her kobun, a young subaltern (Nakane, 1970). In contemporary Japan, the "rîdâ" 2) is still identified with the pregnant image in which his or her position should automatically reach by way of the seniority system. However, these studies have been criticized for its culturalistic bias and, as it was observed in western contexts, the emergence of leaders in Japan is also related to the charismatic skills' development, the social distinction and a variety of biographical trajectories marked by disruption and/ or by change in private life (Brumann, 1996). The leadership issue more generally leads to address a double problem: the difference that leadership
