Abstract

Dans quelle mesure l'évolution des articles publiés depuis 1979 dans Travail et Emploi dessine-t-elle une histoire cohérente ? Pour essayer de répondre à cette question, nous proposons une analyse des articles parus dans la revue au cours de ces quatre décennies à partir de leurs titres et mots-clés. Pour rendre compte et éclairer cette histoire, trois types d'arguments sont mobilisés. Travail et Emploi étant initialement une revue de nature administrative, publiée par le ministère du Travail, l'évolution de ses articles est en partie liée aux soubresauts de l'actualité législative, des politiques publiques et de la production statistique. Elle peut par ailleurs pour partie tenir aux transformations du regard porté par les sciences sociales sur le travail et l'emploi à partir du moment où Travail et Emploi devient une revue résolument académique. Enfin, ces évolutions rendent également, et assez naturellement, compte des transformations réelles et profondes du travail et de l'emploi sur le terrain, dans la vie des travailleurs et des entreprises.
