“…In this study, we considered all community members to be contributing and collaborating on an equal plane. Although this study was not an ethnography, we, the authors, consider ourselves “complete members” by Adler and Adler’s (1987) triadic classification of ethnographic field roles (peripheral member, active member, and complete member), in the sense of being members of the Body Listening Project online community, as well as individuals who engaged in long-term health management and body listening.…”

Purpose: Individuals rely upon many types of information to manage an illness, including information provided by their own bodies. This study investigated how people tune into and manage the flow of information from their bodies to manage their health. Method: We developed a platform for participants to share and collaboratively reflect on how they engaged in this dialogic process, in which participants contributed to a discussion on topics relating to body listening and body awareness. Though the study was open to anyone interested in or wanting to contribute to knowledge on “body listening,” the social media recruitment focused on chronic conditions requiring self-care and having overlapping symptomatology, with chronic pain as the primary characteristic. A qualitative analysis method based on grounded theory was used to analyse the data. Results: Six main themes emerged: learning the language, recognizing and heeding limits, experiencing emotional fatigue and despair, regulating the channel, moving from conflict to communication, and settling into an uneasy acceptance. Conclusion: The monitoring and filtering of information from one’s body, and the appeasement of conflicting demands and voices, is difficult work. Knowledge of this process can be used in patient education and in the development of tools to support body listening.

“…L'objet de cette recherche nécessitait selon nous « d'appartenir » à l'organisation pour mieux observer et décrire l'environnement quotidien des entrepreneurs et partager leur expérience (Bogdan et Taylor, 1975). Nous avons choisi l'observation participante périphérique (Adler et Adler, 1987;Chanlat, 2005) La Ruche est un espace de travail partagé conçu pour accueillir des entrepreneurs désirant « entreprendre autrement ». L'entrepreneuriat social est défini par Zahra et al (2009) comme l'ensemble des activités et processus entrepris pour découvrir, définir et exploiter des opportunités qui permettront d'accroître la richesse et le bien-être social en créant de nouvelles entreprises ou en dirigeant des entreprises existantes de façon innovante.…”

A partir de l’étude du cas de « La Ruche », espace collectif de travail pour entrepreneurs sociaux à Paris (France), nous proposerons un modèle d’accompagnement entrepreneurial original reposant sur des apprentissages collectifs. Contrairement à la démarche traditionnelle de l’accompagnement dans laquelle l’accompagnateur a un rôle de prescription, ici la figure de l’accompagnateur disparaît au profit du collectif formé par les entrepreneurs. Les conditions de fonctionnement de ce dispositif reposent sur la sélection, articulant une tension entre diversité des projets et partage de valeurs communes, la dynamique interactionnelle supportée par la programmation d’événements, et le rôle de l’environnement physique de travail.From the case study of “La Ruche”, collective workspace hosting social entrepreneurs in Paris (France), we propose an original model of entrepreneurial support based on collective learning. Unlike the traditional approach of entrepreneurial support in which the guide role is about prescription, in this case the figure of the guide disappears in favor of a collective formed by entrepreneurs. Operating conditions of this model are the selection process, articulating a tension between diversity of projects and shared values, the interaction process relying on events, and the role of the physical work environment.A partir del estudio de caso “La Ruche”, espacio de trabajo colectivo para emprendedores sociales en París (Francia), proponemos un modelo de acompañamiento al emprendimiento original que se basa en aprendizajes colectivos. A diferencia del enfoque tradicional de acompañamiento en el cual el acompañante tiene un rol de prescripción, en este caso la figura del acompañante desaparece para dar paso a un grupo compuesto de emprendedores. Las condiciones de funcionamiento de este dispositivo son la selección basada en la diversidad de los proyectos y los valores comunes, la dinámica de interacción favorecida por la programación de eventos y el rol del espacio físico de trabajo
