“…Political trust in national institutions might increase or decrease the odds of ticketsplitting as we have seen that EP vote can be used to support or sanction the (parties in) government. Citizens employ proxies rooted in attitudes towards domestic politics in their attitudes towards European integration (Anderson, 1998;Duchesne et al, 2013). Moreover, citizens who have more trust in political institutions tend to identify more strongly as European (Verhaegen & Hooghe, 2015).…”

While European elections are often seen as remote from EU issues, considerations specifically linked to the EU came to the forefront in the wake of the 2014 European elections: the economic and financial crisis, the new process of designation of the European Commission President, and the alleged increase of Eurosceptic votes. This increased salience of political debates about the EU asks for a reconsideration of the 'second-order nature' of European elections. In this context, as in 2009, the Belgian electorate voted for the regional and European levels on the very same day. Belgian voters were thus offered the opportunity to split their ticket between both levels. This allows comparing the occurrence and determinants of these 'immediate switching' behaviours in 2014 with those of the presumably less politicized EP elections in 2009. We do that by employing the 2009 and 2014 PartiRep Election Study data. On the one hand, the article shows that split-ticket voting cannot be explained by economic voting, European identity, and attitudes towards integration in 2014. On the other hand, the unique configuration of the Belgian elections enables us to observe that the introduction of Spitzenkandidaten did enhance split-ticket voting for voters who could directly vote for this candidate (in Flanders), while this did not increase split-ticket voting among voters who could only indirectly support the candidate (in Wallonia).

“…Following the research tradition that values group meetings (Duchesne & Haegel, 2005), we use the differentiated research framework called "group interview to approach the collective personality" (Avila, Tachibana, & Vaisberg, 2008;Corbett, 2009;Martins, 2007). This framework is organized around the use of the Thematic Drawing-Story Procedure, which was developed by AielloVaisberg (1999), from the diagnostic instrument designed by Trinca (1976).…”

Considering the academic development of the psychologist as a complex process which articulates the transmission of scientific knowledge and changes in imaginative activity, we psychoanalytically investigate the collective imaginary of Psychology students regarding the first clinical consultation. We conducted a group interview with 52 undergraduate students, using the Thematic Story-Drawing Procedure as a way to open a dialogical field. The material obtained, through the psychoanalytical method, resulted in the creation/gathering of four affective-emotional meaning fields: "I came, I saw and I conquered", "I know that I (do not) know", "I survived and I will save" and "I am and I do", from which we see an emotionally immature imaginary about the meeting with the patient, since students are more self-centered than concerned with the patient. The overall situation indicates the need for care regarding student academic development, in order to encourage a more mature approach toward the suffering of the other.Keywords: professional education, psychology education, collective imaginary, psychoanalysis-methodology O Primeiro Atendimento Clínico no Imaginário de Estudantes de PsicologiaResumo: Considerando a formação do psicólogo como um processo complexo, que articula transmissão de conhecimentos científicos e mudanças na atividade imaginativa, investigamos psicanaliticamente o imaginário coletivo de estudantes de Psicologia sobre o primeiro atendimento clínico. Realizamos entrevista grupal, da qual participaram 52 graduandos, usando o Procedimento de Desenho-Estória com Tema como favorecedor da abertura de um campo dialógico. O conjunto das produções foi considerado através do método psicanalítico, resultando na criação/encontro de quatro campos de sentido afetivo-emocional: "vim, vi e venci", "sei que (não) sei", "sobrevivi e salvarei" e "sou e faço", a partir dos quais percebemos um imaginário emocionalmente imaturo sobre o encontro com o paciente, uma vez que os alunos se mostram mais centrados em si mesmos, do que preocupados com o paciente. O quadro geral indica a necessidade de cuidados em relação à formação do aluno, no sentido de facilitar uma aproximação mais amadurecida do sofrimento do outro.Palavras-chave: formação profissional, ensino da psicologia, imaginário coletivo, psicanálise-metodologia La Primera Experiencia de la Práctica Clínica en el Imaginario de Estudiantes de PsicologíaResumen: Considerando la formación académica del psicólogo como un proceso complejo, que articula transmisión de conocimientos científicos con cambios en la actividad imaginativa, investigamos psicoanalíticamente el imaginario colectivo de estudiantes de Psicología sobre la primera experiencia de la práctica clínica.

“…For instance, through the comparison between the discourses collected among 24 focus groups conducted in 2005 and 2006 with 'ordinary' citizens with different socioeconomic and national backgrounds (UK, France and Belgium), Duchesne et al (2013) highlighted the existing justifications of the EU in these different contexts. Building on the work of Diez Medrano (2003) and using these data, Van Ingelgom (2014) especially showed that citizens use a set of frames to talk about the EU which relate to economics, governance (democratic deficit), removal of borders or concerns about the size of European countries.…”

Free movement and EU citizenship: a virtuous circle?

The year 2013 was officially declared the European Year of Citizens (EYC) in the European Union (EU). Through this event, the European Commission (EC) reiterates a 'virtuous circle' -between citizenship, free movement and a sense of belonging -able to bring citizens closer to the EU. This contribution shows how this 'virtuous circle' tends to translate into a 'tunnel vision' that reduces citizenship to free movement. Through the analysis of EC discourses, of the literature on 'movers' and 'stayers', and of focus groups with young people from Brussels, we suggest to expand the understanding of free movement and its effects. Overall, this contribution proposes to re-evaluate the scope of the 'virtuous circle' by considering that the 'stayers' are also EU citizens, that free movement is not indisputably an attractive right, and that the movers do not unquestionably feel attached to the EU as a result of their mobility.
