Abstract

This paper gives a partial account of the results of research into the vulnerabilities and diets of students in Lille, focusing first on the representations of student vulnerability by university authorities and then, more specifically, on representations of their dietary vulnerability. Following a review of the literature in the humanities and social sciences, which allows us to discern the epistemological construction of a concept in the diversity of meanings of vulnerability, the article sets out to examine the case for student vulnerability. While it’s not a question of disputing the reality of impoverishment, the “manufacture of vulnerability” merits an examination of public and academic policies towards a specific, yet plural, public whose ills are not attributes.

Author Biography

Patrice de la Broise, Université de Lille

Professeur en Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication et directeur du laboratoire à l’Université de Lille, Patrice de La Broise développe une approche sociosémiotique des communications organisationnelles, au sens où l’organisation est saisie, en contextes de travail, dans l’épaisseur interdiscursive d’une activité ordinaire qui est aussi langagière. À ce positionnement épistémologique, correspondent plusieurs objets empiriques qui, dans leur problématisation et par les concepts qu’ils mobilisent (professionnalisation, éthique, norme, écriture), sont caractéristiques de ses propres travaux et de sa direction de recherches.
