Le faune et la sirène : la situation de Cuvier dans l’économie de The Marble Faun, de Nathaniel Hawthorne by Antoine Traisnel

“…The point in question here, however, is not just the extremity that makes measurement possible but also the ungraspable limit (the punctum) that undoes the logic of Cuvierian classification. Analyzing the metrics of The Marble Faun, my paper will query how the romance envisions the vanishing point of the human/animal relation.…”

Une éducation à l’olympisme est-elle possible ? by Christophe Maillard, Éric Monnin

“…It would also allow to offer a look distanced on a widely celebrated and mediatized international event, which joins in a trade and social logic. It is in this context that the youth can benefit of a real Olympic education and that the education in the Olympic movement will can benefit from a real Olympic education and that the education in the Olympic movement can take its place within the “various teachings in” recommended by the Department of Education.…”

Dépasser l’analogie, écouter les opprimé·es : patriarcat et blanchité dans le discours antispéciste by Myriam Bahaffou

“…Secondly, I argue that the analogy was used to instrumentalize racism, considering racialized people, and black people in particular, as simple examples in order to solidify the argumentative logic of antispeciesism. On the one hand, vegan ecofeminism - through care ethics of in particular- as well as afro-veganism, have demonstrated that those uses of the analogy occurred without any practice of situated knowledge. …”

La crisis del modelo de Estado en España y la reforma federal by Jorge Cagiao y Conde

“…Secondly, he comments on the problems generated by the passive attitude of Spanish governments to adapt the constitutional system to its conflictual context (multinational in public law and multi-level into the UE system), and he also explains why the federal logic is probably the answer to the internal and external factors of State crisis. …”

Logiques de projet et régulation publique de l’information géographique by Louca Lerch

“…I propose to extend the concept of « projectorate » to the process of production of segmented geographical information that cannot be re-appropriated beyond the logic of projects. The GeoBolivia initiative aims at overcoming this situation by capitalizing existing information and producing a national data infrastructure which would allow a « social control » of the existing geographical information as well as an overview of the gaps to be filled regarding the production of geographical knowledge. …”

Video Assemblages: ‘Machinic Animism’ and ‘Asignifying Semiotics’ in the Work of Melitopoulos and Lazzarato by Jay Hetrick

“…I will conclude by criticizing Nicolas Bourriaud’s misappropriation of Guattari in his book Relational Aesthetics and propose that Assemblages demands quite a different and more radical gesture of relationality: one that follows an ecosophical logic that envelopes and imbricates the different levels of nature, the individual, and the social in a way that we might qualify with the term ‘unnatural participation.’…”
