| Résumé anglais |
The term minority refers to two distinct semantic spheres ; one refers to a legal, customary definition, that of a state of diminished capacity — the other to a numerical definition (a smaller number). This explains the ambiguity in its usage. The latter is however (relatively) demarcated in social science as opposed to its opposite, majority. This dyssimetry of connotations obliges us to emphasize the relational nature of these concepts, rather than their designation of specific social groups. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
