PhD supervisor: M. Abélès Year of PhD: 2005 Research Topics: This thesis in political anthropology deals with the mobilization of prostitutes who are sex workers in Europe from 2005 to 2010. We will be interested in the actors of this mobilization as well as the forms that this mobilization takes. Their aim being the harmonization of prostitution laws in their favor in Europe, we will study how workers and their allies use European and international laws, decrees or treaties to claim fundamental rights. We will also look at how these activists use the European and international institutions to act at a local level. Thus we will be interested in the different social or political actions carried out by these same actors in their countries. We will endeavor to detect more particularly the effects of this mobilization on the prostitutes mobilized in France. We shall also endeavor to define their means of exerting pressure on the European institutions by comparing them with those of groups demanding the abolition or prohibition of prostitution.
