Danielle Bleitrach

Danielle Bleitrach is a Sociologue of France.

Danielle Bleitrach was member of the Central committee of the PCF, then National committee of this party of 1981 with 1996. Adviser regional, responsible with the culture in the area PACA. It also founded the weekly magazine of the communist intellectuals Révolution , of which it was associated editor association. For this reason, its articles are numerous and are characterized by a polemical spirit but also observations on the ground and the presentation of theoretical positionings. It is an attempt to bind sociology and journalistic intervention, a manner of considering " the intervention sociologique". She always affirms that the militancy, the practice of popularization as much as the intervention action form integral part of sciences known as human or social. A manner of facing the fact that the analysis is interested not in objects concerned with deterministic laws but on subjects which take conscious actions, while not renonçant to highlight the structures in which intervene the actions. The bond with PCF enabled him during many years not only to affirm citizens choices, but also to work in situ, in the laboratory of the social change. Danielle Bleitrach resigned of the National committee of the PCF in 1996 because she thought that the conditions of a governmental participation were not met. In 2003, it leaves PCF, while being regarded as Communiste. " Démissionnaire" , according to it, a harder version circulates telling than the national committee of PCF rotted the life so much to him than the resignation was the only solution which remained in Danielle Bleitrach. Indeed, one resigns really only seldom in PCF actually, one is excluded from it. Danielle Bleitrach from the force of her analyzes and her convictions was a considerable danger to the line of collaboration of class carried out by PCF Currently (2007) . It is true that the conditions of the " démission" were forced a little by brutality and the lie, but the problem is not there. All the political parties function on the mode of exclusion in the primitive companies. The true problem lies in the character " irrationnel" maintenance of an adhesion when all the actions go a contrario from the goal which one is fixed while adhering to an organization. One could extend that besides today to the practice of the vote like says it Alain Badiou in his last book on the name of Sarkozy. (note of precision of Danielle Bleitrach) Danielle Bleitrach works on the geographical surfaces of Cuba and the Latin America. In addition to Cuba is an island , the time of the cherries (2004 and translated into Spanish in 2005 at Viejo topo) above mentioned, she wrote with Viktor Dedaj and Maxime Vivas. the United States of Mal Worsens , these lessons of resistance which come us from the south (Aden, 2005, the book was translated into Spanish in 2007). She prepares a work with J.F.Bonaldi on Cuba and the socialist adventure (publication envisaged in December 2007 or in January 2008).

This ground is at the same time in rupture with its preceding sociological analyzes and yet in the continuity of the reflection on universalization, the development, work and the urban one.

Danielle Bleitrach wrote tests like the Music hall of the noble hearts (on the intellectuals) or of the novels ( a bouquet of nettle , the misfortune of Gaspard for example).
