Abstract

Researchs on the qualification of products, services or work in enterprises, underline four quality conventions: industrial, domestic, in relation to market and to network. This article challenges this typology using the case of solidarity economy. A textual analysis (with the help of "Alceste" software) of this sector's quality devices (certifications, charters, participatory systems) reveals three already well known conventions and four more unusual ones. The "green" and "horizontally inclusive" conventions are consensual. Others are rather sources of opposition. As confirmed by observations and interviews, those conventions' mobilization shows solidarity economy's division between networks using different quality conventions.
