Travail des eaux et conflit de reconnaissance. Analyses réflexive, herméneutique et critique
Publié le 5 juillet 2016 – Mis à jour le 26 juin 2017
Thèse en Ethique, politique et droit soutenue le 23 juin 2016.
Sur la base d’enquêtes de terrain menées en France auprès de travailleurs du service eau potable et assainissement, cette thèse explore la fa?on dont se tissent au c?ur du travail les relations a? soi, aux autres et a? la nature pour en de?celer les distorsions respectives. L’idée centrale est que c’est par la me?diation de cette triple relation a? soi, aux autres et a? la nature que se construit une subjectivite? au travail. C’est aussi par cette triple me?diation qu’une subjectivite? peut manquer a? se construire et a? inscrire l’histoire de ses pratiques dans un monde. Une double origine de ces distorsions a e?te? identifie?e. Premie?rement, le cadre normalisant de l’organisation productive qui e?touffe la puissance normative du travailleur et sa possibilite? de tisser re?flexivement des liens signifiants avec les autres et son environnement, et ultimement, avec soi. Secondement, autour des eaux, eau potable, eaux use?es, se sont solidifie?es des pratiques de?pre?cie?es et des repre?sentations de?pre?ciatives. Ces deux composantes expliquent la forme que prend la rele?gation des travailleurs des eaux et leur sentiment d’injustice. L’expe?rience de l’injustice de?cele?e dans ce parcours des existences au travail, renforce la porte?e e?thique et politique de cette enque?te. La the?se examine finalement la possibilite? d’ouvrir un espace de de?libe?ration ou? s’articuleraient de telles expe?riences. L’appropriation significative du travail est la condition de leur expression et celle de pratiques subversives par lesquelles torsion peut e?tre faite aux structures polarisantes dont les travailleurs he?ritent.
Based on field investigations conducted in France among workers in the sanitation and drinking-water services, this dissertation studies how relationships to self, others and nature develop at work, but also how the relations between these three elements may become distorted. The principal argument is that at the core of work subjectivity is built throughout the mediation of this triple relationship between self, other, and nature. Moreover, throughout this triple mediation, subjectivity can fail to construct itself and thus to engrave the story of its practices in a world. A double source of distortions were identified. First, the normalizing frame of the productive organization, which stifles the normative power of the worker, as well as the individual’s opportunity reflexively to develop significant bonds with others, the environment, and finally the self. Second, water has significances which are articulated within a structure of domination. These two components explain how the workers are marginalised, as well as the feeling of injustice that results from this marginalisation. The experience of injustice, revealed in the course of existences at work, reinforces the ethical and political impact of this investigation. The dissertation finally examines how a deliberative space can open up where such experiences could articulate and express themselves. The appropriation of work as meaningful is the condition of this expression, but also of subversive practices through which polarizing structures, inherited by the workers, can potentially be transformed.
