Power relationships between the WADA and NADOs and their effects on anti-doping

Abstract: Longtemps, la sociologie pragmatique a considere qu’elle ne pouvait rien enoncer sur les jeux de pouvoir. Une de ses regles de methode exigeait de s’en remettre aux acteurs eux-memes des lors qu’ils entreprennent de devoiler, au fil de polemiques et de proces, des figures du pouvoir ou de la domination. En s’appuyant sur de nombreux dossiers l’article montre comment inflechir l’enquete pragmatique pour apprehender autrement la critique des rapports de pouvoir, dont le degre de visibilite publique depend de la trajectoire suivie par des acteurs pris dans une logique de crise ou de conflit. Les ressorts principaux d’une emprise reussie et sur lesquels porte tout travail de deprise sont tour a tour exposes : imperatif de justification, entretien d’un besoin de reconnaissance, controle des instruments d’evaluation, production d’un echange inegal invisible.

Abstract: RESUMO A pesquisa social sobre doping e a luta contra ele cresceu nos ultimos anos, porem sua distribuicao e desigual. O objetivo e descrever como os interesses da WADA e do governo brasileiro para ter o laboratorio preparado para os Jogos de 2016 afetaram a luta antidopagem. Adotamos procedimentos etnograficos para analisar a suspensao, descredenciamento e recredenciamento do LBCD (2013-2015). Com ajuda da sociologia pragmatica, visualizaram-se associacoes e interesses dos atores. Especificamente, retratou-se como a WADA conseguiu pressionar o governo por meio do descredenciamento de 2013 e, a partir das acoes e associacoes do governo, como ela foi flexivel para recredenciar um laboratorio em condicoes inadequadas, a fim de mante-lo atuante para os Jogos de 2016.

Abstract: Recently, there has been a proliferation of measures responding to demands for accountability and transparency. Using the example of media rankings of law schools, this article argues that the methodological concept of reactivity—the idea that people change their behavior in reaction to being evaluated, observed, or measured—offers a useful lens for disclosing how these measures effect change. A framework is proposed for investigating the consequences, both intended and unintended, of public measures. The article first identifies two mechanisms, self‐fulfilling prophecy and commensuration, that induce reactivity and then distinguishes patterns of effects produced by reactivity. This approach demonstrates how these increasingly fateful public measures change expectations and permeate institutions, suggesting why it is important for scholars to investigate the impact of these measures more systematically.
