Yann Ramirez – Research Associate

Email: yann.ramirez(at)umontpellier.fr

Role and Mission:

A.T.E.R. at the UFR STAPS in Montpellier since September 2018.
Ph.D. in Sociology

Research Topic:

• Sociology of Violence. My early work for my master’s thesis and my PhD dissertation PhD intended solely to analyze a combat sport (in this case, Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA) as a sociological subject. I view them as a window into exploring aggression, the history and role of aggression in sports and various social phenomena (such as radicalization through sports), and ritualized violence. This, in turn, allows me to describe the importance and fragility of otherness, as well as the ambivalence of the partner/opponent. Moving forward, I would like to expand this analysis to include more specific phenomena related to harassment.
• The sociology of the body also stems from my early work on MMA, in which I focus on physical engagement, high-risk practices, and sports for all (contact sports, extreme sports, doping, sexuality, disability, etc.). With my new research team, my work on the body is now linked to health.
• Research into the sociology of sport—and competitive sport in particular—must continue, building on my earlier work on sporting events, the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, sports marketing, professionalism, the pursuit of performance, and motivations.

Role and Mission:

As co-director and postdoctoral research coordinator for the project that would lead tothe book *Prisons*—alongside Laurent Solini and Sylvain Ferez—Jennifer Yeghicheyan subsequently served as a Temporary Teaching and Research Associate at the Santesih laboratory. She continued her work by co-directing, with Laurent Solini and Jean-Charles Basson, the project “From One Care Institution to Another: An Exploratory Study of the Institutional Socialization of Youth in the Juvenile Justice System,” under the joint supervision of Cresco (Center for Research in Social Sciences, Body, and Sport – EA 4719) and Santesih.

University Life (since 2016):

• 2016–2018 Organizer of seminars for young researchers and research seminars, Santesih, University of Montpellier

Elected as the representative for contract staff on the Council of the Department of Science and Education at the University of Montpellier

Research Topics:

All of his work is based on ethnographic research. It focuses on institutional care that balances security with (social and educational) support, aimed at populations described as both “dangerous” and “vulnerable.”

In her dissertation, she focuses on the prison periphery: the reception areas outside prisons where volunteers and service providers assist the families of inmates during visiting hours. She then analyzes prison management processes through a spatial lens. She continues to study the implementation of public policies—both security-oriented and support-oriented—aimed at juvenile offenders.

Yann Beldame – Contract Researcher

Status: Ph.D. in Social Anthropology and Ethnology from EHESS-Paris – Contract Researcher at Santesih

Field of Study: Anthropology

Email: yann.beldame(at)free.fr

Role and Mission:

In charge of the “ChirBa” study: “Overcoming Obesity Through Surgery.”
Bariatric surgery is increasingly being used to combat obesity. While this approach leads to rapid weight loss that effectively combats severe obesity, the surgery nevertheless brings about a series of significant physical changes, which have been the subject of numerous medical studies, but whose individual experience and social effects have been little studied to date. This study provides an opportunity to examine patients’ perspectives, how they describe their experience of these changes, and the effects these changes have on their lives in the months following surgery. The main objective of this research is to assess changes in dietary habits and physical activity over the 12 months following surgery, shedding light on the interactions between biological, sensory, and social changes.

• Ethnographic Study – Spain – Undocumented Migrants – Intersectionality
