G. de Molinari: the Building of a Rigorous Economic Method

Abstract Gustave de Molinari (1819–1912) is one of the most important representatives of the French liberal school in the 19th century. Although a Belgian by birth, he is, without contest, a member of the French tradition in the same way as Jean-Baptiste Say or Frédéric Bastiat. Yet, his work is little-known, or only limited to the knowledge of his most controversial theories, which are set out in his most famous publications, “De la Production de la Sécurité.

Contribution of Sentinel-3A Radar Altimetry Data to the Study of the Water Level Variations in Lake Buyo (West of Côte d’Ivoire)

The artificial Lake Buyo is an important water reservoir that ensures the availability of water for multiple purposes: drinking water supply, fishing, and energy. In the last five years, this lake has experienced extreme variations in its surface area and water levels, including very significant declines, which has impacted the supply of electricity. This study aimed to assess temporal variations in the water levels of Lake Buyo using radar altimetry. Altimetric data from the Sentinel-3A satellite on Lake Buyo (tracks 16 (orbit 8) and 743 (orbit 372)) were selected over the period from 31 May 2016 to 12 June 2021 and compared to the in situ measurements provided by the Direction de la Production de l’Electricité de Côte d’Ivoire (DPE-CI). The extraction of the time series of the Sentinel-3A altimetric water levels and their corrections (geophysical and environmental corrections) were carried out with the ALTiS software. The results showed an overall agreement between the altimetric water levels and the in situ measurements, with a correlation coefficient (R2) ranging from 0.98 to 0.99 obtained, as well as a Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) coefficient also between 0.98 and 0.99. Further, the bias (0.12 m and 0.13 m) and root mean square error (RMSE) (0.38 and 0.67 m) values showed that the results were acceptable. The analysis of the water levels time series allowed for the identification of two main periods: March to October and November to February. The first period corresponded to a high level period, recording a maximum level of 200.06 m. The second period, from November to March, was characterized by a drop in the water level, recording a minimum level of 187.42 m. The water levels time series provided by Sentinel-3 allowed us to appreciate the respective influences of seasonal and interannual variations on rainfall and the contributions of the Sassandra River tributaries to the water levels of Lake Buyo.

Diversité technique des débitages laminaires au Néolithique ancien à Vaux-et-Borset (Hesbaye, Belgique) : manières de faire, problèmes d’interprétation et perspectives anthropologiques

Cette étude explore la diversité technique de la production laminaire dans les villages rubané et Blicquy/ Villeneuve-Saint-Germain de Vaux-et-Borset (Hesbaye, Belgique). Cette diversité technique est essentiellement définie par un traitement différentiel des plans de frappe et des préparations au détachement des lames. Or, les différences relevées ne conduisent pas à la production de supports pour un outillage spécifique. Elles ne se justifient pas non plus par les qualités intrinsèques des matières premières. À contexte de production équivalent, nous proposons dès lors que cette variabilité technique reflète différentes manières de faire parmi les tailleurs du village de Vaux-et-Borset. La reconnaissance d’une véritable continuité de certaines manières de faire entre le Rubané et la culture Blicquy/ Villeneuve-Saint- Germain atteste de leur transmission dans le temps. Cette transmission signe la coexistence d’au moins deux filières d’apprentissage chez les tailleurs au Néolithique ancien. Par ailleurs, les tailleurs rubanés du village de Vaux-et-Borset semblent presque tous issus du même réseau d’apprentissage contrairement aux quatre groupes distingués chez les tailleurs blicquiens. La diversité des pratiques techniques et des traditions techniques au cours du Blicquien est discutée. En l’état actuel des données, il semble qu’elle puisse à la fois résulter de la mobilité de populations avoisinantes et du syncrétisme de certaines traditions.

BEPS: Development, validation, and normative data of a sentence production test in French

Assessing one’s sentence production ability can help to identify difficulties experienced by individuals with aphasia and enables targeted intervention. Speech-language pathologists working with the francophone population must contend with the current lack of a sentence production evaluation tool. The aim of this article is to present the development, validation, and normative data of a French-language test used to evaluate the production of sentences: the BEPS (Batterie d’Évaluation de la Production Syntaxique). The BEPS includes four tasks based on Bock and Levelt’s model of sentence production, namely (1) Verb Naming Task, (2) Verb Inflection Task, (3) Constituent Assembly Task, and (4) Thematic Role Assignment Task. For each task, various psycholinguistic parameters were controlled or manipulated. The BEPS had good content and construct validity, excellent test–retest reliability and good internal consistency. This battery fulfills the current needs for clinical tool in the francophone population when assessing sentence production capacities. Normative data are presented for individuals 19–79 years of age (n = 191). Raw scores were converted to percentiles for each task. The BEPS represents significant assistance to help clinicians identify the origins of the syntactic production deficits of patients with poststroke and degenerative diseases.

Coordination Costs and the Geography of Production

In a model à la Venables of 1996, we distinguish two kinds of intermediate goods: complex goods that entail endogenous coordination costs, and simple goods that do not. Coordination costs depend on geographical distance and the number of intermediate goods used in the production process. In the final stage of integration, there are two possible spatial configurations: (1) a symmetric configuration and (2) a partial core–periphery equilibrium, comprised of a core region that produces the final and complex intermediate goods, and a periphery that produces simple intermediate goods. We discuss some policy implications of this multiple-equilibria outcome.Les coûts de coordination et la géographie de la production

사회적 지속성의 구축을 위한 공공 지하공간의 개발 - 앙리 르페브르의 '리듬분석' 적용을 중심으로 -

This research is an alternative attempt about commercialization all the places in cities. The proposal indicated by deducting not only theoretical approach but also design production, and the research is progressed with three steps to accomplish those. First step is theoretical study that becomes conceptual foundation of design. This paper refers to ' de rythmanalyse' by Henri Lefebvre. Early he awakened the harsh reality to naive architects and urban planners by 'La production de l'espace(1974)', additionally he raised presentation of problems about our field in his posthumous work 'Elements de rythmanalyse'. He was an extraordinary philosopher who deeply thought about relationship between people and space. Second step is extractions of the planning tools that actually can be apply to the design process. This step is for preparing elements to transform theoretical and abstract concepts into practical structure of architecture and people's activity. For this, we contemplated Lefebvre's practical analyses and then set up detailed methods categorizing two parts; activity program and physical tools. Final step is implementation of the design for public underground space. In order to arrange this step, primarily we obtained required basic data through site survey and reviewing materials that related with plans. Also, we suggested the public underground space which composed with 'Central Boulevard & Meeting Street', 'History Plaza & Archive', 'People's Round & Art Hall', 'Communion Hall', and 'Great Vacant' by applying detailed methods that constructed from previous steps.

Towards a Critical Sociology of Dominant Ideologies: An Unexpected Reunion between Pierre Bourdieu and Luc Boltanski

This article aims to demonstrate the enduring relevance of Pierre Bourdieu and Luc Boltanski’s ‘La production de l’idéologie dominante’ [‘The production of the dominant ideology’], which was originally published in Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales in 1976. More than three decades later, in 2008, a re-edited version of this study was printed in book format as La production de l’idéologie dominante, which was accompanied by a detailed commentary, written by Luc Boltanski and entitled Rendre la réalité inacceptable. À propos de « La production de l’idéologie dominante » [ Making Reality Unacceptable. Comments on ‘The production of the dominant ideology’]. In addition to containing revealing personal anecdotes and providing important sociological insights, this commentary offers an insider account of the genesis of one of the most seminal pieces Boltanski co-wrote with his intellectual father, Bourdieu. In the Anglophone literature on contemporary French sociology, however, the theoretical contributions made both in the original study and in Boltanski’s commentary have received little – if any – serious attention. This article aims to fill this gap in the literature, arguing that these two texts can be regarded not only as forceful reminders of the fact that the ‘dominant ideology thesis’ is far from obsolete but also as essential for understanding both the personal and the intellectual underpinnings of the tension-laden relationship between Bourdieu and Boltanski. Furthermore, this article offers a critical overview of the extent to which the unexpected, and partly posthumous, reunion between ‘the master’ (Bourdieu) and his ‘dissident disciple’ (Boltanski) equips us with powerful conceptual tools, which, whilst illustrating the continuing centrality of ‘ideology critique’, permit us to shed new light on key concerns in contemporary sociology and social theory. Finally, the article seeks to push the debate forward by reflecting upon several issues that are not given sufficient attention by Bourdieu and Boltanski in their otherwise original and insightful enquiry into the complexities characterizing the daily production of ideology.

Jean Baudrillard: cynism or truth?

Baudrillard: a journey through his worksJean Baudrillard was one of the leading intellectuals of the twentieth century.Baudrillard, who died on 6th March 2007 in Paris, conceived an acute observation and, on many occasions, complex, ambiguous and difficult interpretation of contemporary society for him (and us). Reassuming the observations that revolve around the French philosophy's simulacra concept during the 1960's1, Baudrillard focused his attention on the relationship which is established between this concept and the vast, symbolic horizon produced by the simulative condition present in society.Considered as being the father of the simulacra concept and according to this author, postmodern society is differentiated from the previous period, the modern age, because of its being organised in compliance with a new, simulation logic and on the continuous interchange of images and signs. Differently, in fact, from modern society, which was structured according to the linear and precise production logic; current society is based on the proliferation of codes, models and signs and the new rules dictated by simulation.Some, important thematic nucleuses and perspectives emerged from his analysis and shall be expanded upon below.1. Illusion1.1 The value - signBaudrillard penetrated into a reality, which is like simulation, dominated by the sign, emptiness and nothingness, with the supremacy of bodies as appearance. Society is a game of appearances and signs, which creates artfulness and illusion, through a journey, which likens it to magic and make-believe.Baudrillard's analysis begins with an observation on the birth and development of consumption, as being an important, social language (Le Systeme des Objets, 1968), like something that pushes the continuous birth and growth of individual desires, in a never-ending vortex. Baudrillard studied how individuals perceived and consumed objects, according to a new language created by the consumer goods, themselves.In his observations, he classified objects into three different systems.1. The functional system that includes things with a univocal and immovable purpose, which includes furnishing. In fact, in the case of furnishings, items of furniture are set out according to strict directives, each item is placed in a precise position and defined on the basis of the human relations symbolising it.2. The marginal or non-functional system, containing collection, design and antique items. The latter is a system in which consumer goods stop being exclusively tangible goods, but represent a mental space, with a value established by the relationship of this object with the individual himself.3. The meta and dysfunctional system, which includes gadgets and robots. In this case, the function of the object is concluded through the automatism, which defines its degree of perfection. This system represents the object's dreamt personalisation: the most beautiful object to imitate.This perspective focuses attention on the objects' sphere of relations, consumer goods, which represent a coherent system of signs, which weakens, little by little, the material nature of primary needs. The new opaqueness of production and consumption social relations is thus materialised in the goods that, due to this reason, may become a sign.Accusing Marxism of placing production at the heart of social analysis and, in this way, not fully reflecting middle-class society (Le miroir de la production, 1973; Oublier Foucault, 1977), Baudrillard introduced the value-sign, which takes the place of use value and exchange value (Pour une critique de l'economie politique du signe, 1972; Le miroir de la production, 1973). As occurs in the present-giving system, the exchange object has now a value that is removed from its functional matrix and exchange value, but which is established by the object's symbolic value. In relation to the gift, in which its value is established by the relationship between the individuals, in the consumer society, the good's value is the result of the individual's relationship with the object and the object with all the other objects. …

Space Matters: Negotiating Social Boundaries in Le Sacristain II and Le Bouchier d’Abeville

Through an analysis of Le Sacristain II (Du Segretain Moine) and Le Bouchier d’Abeville (or Eustache d’Amiens), this study theorizes a common theme in the Old French fabliaux, that of the anticlerical conflict between the merchant and priest, by identifying the “appropriate” use of social spaces of production and reproduction in the text, as defined by Lefebvre (La Production de l’espace, Editions anthropos, Paris, 1974). The successful management of space in the fabliaux—from the marketplace, to the home, to the church—promotes and protects bourgeois values as they emerge at pivotal moments of exchange in the text. The bourgeois’ wit and the ability to manage space equate to both a successful trade and a shift in power in these tales, with the fabliaux providing a literary space to envision and play out a new social order. Situating the fabliaux in its historical context, this article argues that the genre’s preoccupation with “appropriate” behavior within certain social spaces communicates an increasingly cohesive cultural ideology for the rising merchant class in thirteenth century that marginalizes the authority of the church while strengthening these ideas in northern France and throughout the European trading community.

Care and the Bodily Identity of the Urban besogneuse in Gabrielle Roy’s Bonheur d’occasion

This article presents Gabrielle Roy’s 1945 novel Bonheur d’Occasion as a reading of the female literary body that contributed to nascent changes in feminine literary subjectivity in Quebec’s cultural texts leading up to the Quiet Revolution, and one that provides a critical approach to a matrix of meaning that has been largely overlooked in studies of the novel and of Quebec’s fiction at large: namely, that of love, labor, and the body in the emerging urban setting. Establishing subjectivity as necessarily corporeal, the article demonstrates that by examining the configurations, movements, and ornamentation of the female body-subject in Gabrielle Roy’s Bonheur d’Occasion , a careful reader will note that Roy’s female protagonists, Rose-Anna and Florentine, begin to move away from their position as mere objects of the male gaze and as commodities in “l’ordre de la production” of which male habitants were the proprietors (Boynard-Frot 126). This shift toward literary women’s subjectivity is effected by means of what I define as care, that is, the convergence of love and labor, or affect and duty. Female body-subjects in Roy’s work are portrayed as inter -subjects, finding meaning and authenticity when their labor is marked by affect linking them to a loved one. When their actions and desires are out of alignment, both body and subjectivity deteriorate, signaled by mechanization and disfigurement.

Passwords: Philology, Security, Authentication

Passwords: Philology, Security, Authentication Brian Lennon (bio) [End Page 82] The main philosophical tradition of thought about language in the West, Umberto Eco wrote before the turn of the millennium, is a “dream that has run now for almost two thousand years.”1 It is a dream of perfectible representation—not the same as perfect representation—which Eco told us had submerged what he called the “pedestrian” account of the flood in Genesis 10:5 in the dramatic and tragic account of Babel in Genesis 11:1, received as a story of human punishment by a vengeful, if wise, God.2 Essentially, Eco implied, it was an anti-philological dream: the image of a perfected state in which historical time, and along with time, change—in language, in the history of language, in the order of things managed and maintained by language—might come to cease. Philology is a secular countertradition to this main philosophical tradition—which is also secular, but also more rationalistic than historicist in its intellectual temperaments, in ways that will leave these two traditions incompatible, even incommensurable. But that is not to say unconfusable, or unconfused. Insofar as we might describe that main tradition—it is a cultural tradition, not merely a “philosophical” one—as a tradition that either presumes or attempts to establish a certain security, in the face of time and change and their confusions, including linguistic confusion and an attendant ordinal confusion, we might say also that philology’s practices and operations, which are so often practices of authentication, enter into conflict with the history, the historicity, and the historiography for which philology stands or stands in, or which it operates. >> Three arguments will be left mostly implicit in what follows, as framing a larger project of which this essay is a segment. First, conflict between the philological and the anti-philological imaginations of language is a conflict that structured twentieth-century global cultural history. Second, that conflict has a permanent, non-soluble character. And third, it is an interesting conflict because it is non-soluble, all hopes and dreams of the new digital philologists (and anti-philologists) notwithstanding. I draw here on a little book published by Jean Baudrillard in 2000 titled Mots de passe (Passwords), which served as a recapitulation in keywords of Baudrillard’s body of work to that point.3 The organizing conceit of this text juxtaposes what I will call the philologically figurative connotation of “le mot de passe” / “password” with the technical denotation also invoked by the volume’s title.4 Some of the segments of Mots de passe (“La séduction,” “La transparence du mal,” “Le crime parfait”) served as oblique précis of eponymous works or editorial assemblages published under Baudrillard’s name in the past; others (“L’objet,” “La valeur,” “Le virtuel”) deployed keywords as such. Together, they provide an index to the matrix of intellectual motives, trajectories, and transitions that took Baudrillard from the early French structuralism and autocritical Marxism of Le système des objets (1968, The System of Objects) and Pour une critique de l’économie politique du signe (1972, For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign) to the anthropological break with Marxism in La société de consommation (1970, The Consumer Society) and Le miroir [End Page 83] de la production (1973, The Mirror of Production) and the “posthistorical” studies of simulation, hyperreality, and terror that brought Baudrillard North American fame in sometimes awkward translation. The technical denotation of “le mot de passe” is its quotidian sense, raised to a difficult public awareness, in and since 2012, by a series of both massive and well-publicized intrusions aimed at Web 2.0 and social media services mostly based in the United States but operating on networks imagined as worlded or worlding space.5 It was this series of attacks, accompanied by increasingly severe admonition of “lusers” by those in the know, that finally introduced a counter-discourse at odds with the wave of enthusiasm for consumer utility or cloud computing that a new generation of IT pundits and consultants rode to power in the late 2000s, as the survivors of the dotcom crash reorganized their data service...

Introduction: The Spatial Imaginary in Contemporary British Literature and the Arts

The 2013 annual Conference of the SEAC held at the University of Nantes and lieu unique in Nantes, France, chose to investigate new perspectives in both literature and the arts through their intrinsic relation to the imaginary of space. The ‘spatial turn’ which was largely initiated by Henri Lefebvre’s work La Production de l’espace elicited renewed interest in the category of the imagination as theorized by Su, offering new tracks to study contemporary fiction writers. The Conference was a s...

Reflections on ideology

The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate the enduring relevance of the concept of ideology to contemporary sociological analysis. To this end, the article draws upon central arguments put forward by Pierre Bourdieu and Luc Boltanski in ‘La production de l’idéologie dominante’ [‘The Production of the Dominant Ideology’]. Yet, the important theoretical contributions made in this enquiry have been largely ignored by contemporary sociologists, even by those who specialize in the critical study of ideology. This article intends to fill this gap in the literature by illustrating that useful lessons can be learned from Bourdieu and Boltanski’s critical investigation, as it provides crucial insights into the principal characteristics and functions of ideologies, including the ways in which they develop and operate in advanced capitalist societies. The article is divided into two main parts: the first part examines various universal features of ideology; the second part aims to shed light on several particular features of dominant ideology. The paper concludes by arguing that the ‘end of ideology’ thesis, despite the fact that it raises valuable sociological questions, is ultimately untenable.

Nutrition clinique pratique Chez l’adulte et l’enfant: (Seconde édition)

Le goût sucré est inné. Il a précédé le sucre et a été recherché depuis l’Antiquité sous forme d’ersatz, comme le miel ou les fruits secs. Découvert par les Croisés au XIIe siècle, le sucre et son goût ont eu du mal à percer en Occident. Délaissé au Moyen-Âge au profit du goût acide, il n’éveille l’intérêt des classes aisées qu’après le développement de la culture de la canne dans les Îles. Le goût sucré retrouve une place honorable au moment du dessert et pour faciliter la consommation du café et du chocolat. Sa véritable expansion et sa démocratisation datent du XIXe siècle, à la suite de l’accroissement de la production de sucre à partir de la betterave sucrière. Peu à peu, le goût sucré devient indispensable en raison du plaisir qu’il procure. Les progrès de la chimie parviennent à le dissocier du sucre, en synthétisant des édulcorants. Le goût sucré a réinvesti la cuisine, et les consommateurs ne craignent plus de l’associer aux goûts salé et acide, ou de consommer des boissons sucrées au cours des repas. Son retour en force, favorisé par les produits industriels, inquiète, car il est dénoncé comme l’un des marqueurs de l’alimentation surabondante et déstructurée qui conduit à l’obésité.As sweetness is inherited, humans have for ever been in the search of sugar. In the Ancient times, honey and dried fruits were used as the first substitutes for sugar. After its discovery in the 17th century during the crusades, sugar has been submitted to many hurdles before its dissemination in the Western countries. After it had been neglected in the Middle-Age and supplanted by the acid taste, its increased consumption was particularly marked in the upper classes of the society, concomitantly to the intensified farming of cane sugar in tropical islands. The attraction for sweetness was primarily enjoyed as a desert at meal times for facilitating the consumption of such hot drinks as coffee and chocolate. Its worldwide dissemination really started in the 20th century when its production was extended to that of beet sugar. Sweetness progressively became mandatory for those who appreciated its pleasant taste. The endless story of chemical sciences was the starting point for individualizing sweetness from sugar, the link in the chain being the synthesis and production of artificial sweeteners. Sweetness was further considered a natural and popular component of cooking and nowadays all consumers do not hesitate to use it in combination with either salted or acidic foods and soft drinks during meal periods. Its return in strength, which is facilitated by the progression of industrial products, is of concern since it is denunciated as one of the key markers of an exaggerated and unstructured eating behavior, one of the main causative factors of obesity.

Generating rights for communities harmed by mining: legal and other action

As global mineral prices and production have boomed, Canadian mining companies have expanded their operations abroad with the support of the federal government. In light of the unregulated character and often destructive impacts of much new mining activity, the recent extractive industry expansion has been accompanied by increasing conflict. We analyse lawsuits launched in Canadian courts and in the inter-American human rights system by affected communities in Latin America. We conclude that both new legislation (such as Bill C-300) and continued effective collaboration between local civil society and Canadian NGOs are required for peaceful resolution of conflicts. Résumé Avec une forte croissance de la production et des prix des produits miniers, les entreprises minières canadiennes ont élargi leurs opérations à l'étranger avec le soutien du gouvernement fédéral. Dans un contexte de vide règlementaire et des conséquences destructives de cette industrie, le développement du secteur a été accompagné de plus en plus de conflits. Nous analysons les poursuites judiciaires lancées au Canada et dans le système des droits humains Interaméricain contre les entreprises minières canadiennes. Nous concluons que de nouvelle législation (comme la loi C-300) et une collaboration continue et efficace entre la société civile et les organisations non gouvernementales canadiennes sont nécessaires pour la résolution pacifique des conflits.

Paraguay and the expansion of Brazilian and Argentinian agribusiness frontiers

Over three decades, land concentration and “foreignisation” in Paraguay has accelerated the modernisation of agricultural production, affecting the ability of peasant and indigenous groups engaged in food-crop-oriented, family farming to maintain and gain access to land. This exclusion is most striking in areas where foreign investment is concentrated. Difficulties harmonising peasant family farming and the larger-scale capitalist agriculture have resulted in more disputes and conflicts. Foreign investment is led by Brazilian and Argentinian interests, but the Southern Cone, as a regionalised agricultural export platform, attracts private investment from other countries. Brazil's government is not yet a direct investor, but it provides significant technical support for the land deals and the production systems. Depuis trois décennies au Paraguay, la concentration de la propriété de la terre et son passage dans des mains étrangères ont accéléré la modernisation de la production agricole et, du coup, limité la capacité des paysans et des indigènes exerçant une agriculture familiale centrée sur la production alimentaire de conserver leurs terres ou d'avoir accès à la terre. Cette exclusion est plus frappante dans les régions où sont concentrés les investissements étrangers. La difficile cohabitation entre les exploitations agricoles familiales et l'agriculture capitaliste à grande échelle provoque de plus en plus de conflits. Les investissements étrangers sont principalement le fait d'intérêts brésiliens et argentins, mais le Cône sud en tant que plateforme régionale d'exportation agricole attire également des investissements d'autres pays. Le gouvernement brésilien n'agit pas encore en tant qu'investisseur direct, mais il fournit aux investisseurs un soutien technique significatif en matière de transactions foncières et de systèmes de production.

A review of the effects of moisturizers on the appearance of scars and striae

Scars are well known to have a stratum corneum (SC) that is malfunctional. Increases in transepidermal water loss and decreases in SC capacitance and conductance have been reported. Occlusion therapy is a well-known route to improving the signs and symptoms of scarring. Until recently that has been assumed to be totally pressure related. However, studies have demonstrated that the direct effects of hydration on keratinocytes and fibroblasts contribute to the reduction in hypertrophic scarring. Now it is well known that occlusion can regulate epidermal cytokine and growth factor production; changes in profibrotic and anti-fibrotic factors have been established. As a result, it is to be expected that moisturizers may improve the signs and symptoms of scars. As striae have been suggested to be anatomically similar to scars and as it is well established that paracrine signalling occurs in skin, it is expected that striae have similar SC issues. While one cannot exclude the effects of some of the ingredients used in the products, several studies are reported in this review that demonstrates that moisturization is a key component to reducing the clinical signs and symptoms of scars and striae. This is a good example of how knowledge of corneobiology leads to corneotherapies for these skin condition problems. The review is being written in memory of Professor Johann Wiechers who, before he died tragically in November 2011, performed two of the reported studies together with colleagues.
