Sommario/riassunto |

McDonald's. Blockbuster Video. Jiffy Lube. Subway. Franchising has become an ever-present feature of the American landscape. One-third of the U.S. gross domestic product flows through franchises, and one out of every sixteen workers is employed by one. But how did franchising come to play such a dominant role in the American economy? What are the day-to-day experiences of franchisees and franchisers in the workplace? What challenges and pitfalls await them as they stake their claim to prosperity? These are just a few of the questions explored in Franchising Dreams, a documentary-like look into the frustrations and uncertainties that entrepreneurs face in their pursuit of the American dream. Peter M. Birkeland worked for three years in the front-line operations of franchise units for three companies, met with CEOs and executives, and attended countless trade shows, seminars, and expositions. All this firsthand experience |

gave him unprecedented access to the hopes and aspirations of franchisees. His book closely traces different franchisees and follows them as their dreams of wealth and independence buckle beneath the weight of frustrating logistics and contractual technicalities. Through extensive interviews and research, Birkeland not only discovers what makes franchisees succeed or fail, he uncovers the difficulties in running a business according to someone else's system and values. Bearing witness to a market flooded with fierce competitors and dependent on the inscrutable whims of consumers, he uncovers the numerous challenges that franchisees face in making their businesses succeed. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Le présent volume rassemble des articles relevant des étude de genre ancrées dans le champ de l’histoire, de la littérature de la philosophie, de l’histoire de l’art, de la sociologie. Les contributeur-trice-s ont tenu à souligner par leur participation l’apport essentiel des recherches conduites par ou sous la direction de Martine Lapied à la discipline historique. Plus précisément, cette dernière a développé trois axes thématiques. Le premier est occupé par la Révolution française observée sur le terrain de la Provence et du Comtat Venaissin. Le deuxième ouvre sur une histoire désormais bien ancrée dans la recherche de langue française : l’histoire des femmes et du genre. Les études sur le genre irriguent depuis plusieurs années les travaux sur les instances de socialisation et de politisation où se manifestent prioritairement des formes historiques de domination. Qui plus est, au titre d’une critique permanente de la pensée essentialiste sur la différence hommes/femmes, la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales élargit sans cesse le champ de la compréhension des rapports sociaux. Enfin, le troisième axe est celui des représentations par l’attention – originale en histoire – portée à la scène lyrique de l’opéra à l’époque romantique. Embrassant l’espace euroméditerranéen et inscrits dans le temps long, les divers chapitres de l’ouvrage, en résonance avec ces thématiques, sont regroupés en trois axes: L’esprit des Lumières et de la Révolution; Créer, inventer, transgresser; Femmes dans la Cité |
