ABSTRACT
This chapter revisits learnings social scientists can draw from “no-replies.” The uneven propensity to answer amongst the international population surveyed during the 2011 WSF discloses the extent to which interviewees evolve in different realms. Indeed, actors’ socialization shapes their linguistic, social and symbolic references. Our conclusions thus bring to the fore a decisive challenge that transnational mobilizations have to face: proposing sound and federative ways of describing the world.
