Abstract

(VF)L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier la capacité des mécanismes identitaires à générer une communauté de pratique. L’étude longitudinale d’un réseau de soin de chirurgiens dentistes montre que la construction identitaire associée à la négation collective des jeux de pouvoir peut conduire le groupe à la limite du démantèlement. Privée de la prise en compte des stratégies individuelles, la dynamique identitaire tourne à vide, masque les confrontations potentielles et devient un outil de manipulation pour les leaders;elle permet au groupement de survivre mais pas de réaliser son projet. Nous qualifions cette situation de «piège identitaire».(VA)This article examines the contribution of the identification process in building up a community of practice. Despite the presence of artefacts and activities typical of the emergence of a common identity, the transformation of the network under study into a community of practice appears incomplete. The construction process gets stuck in its own production, its identity dynamics preventing a real confrontation of the individual strategies. Identity thus appears as a useful disguise of more fundamental oppositions. So the community is caught up in an "identity trap", a situation in which identity building overshadows the ongoing practical concerns and strategies of the participants.
