“When the war is over […] we will all enlist again” (The Lice): W.S. Merwin P(r)o(ph)etic by Hélène Aji

“…The poems are to be related to the context of the Vietnam war: the horrors perpetrated by the U.S. in Vietnam are legible in the tense and dark poems that protest against them, but they are never explicitly mentioned. Rather, what unfolds is a generic discourse on humankind’s irrepressible propensities to predation, violence and self-destruction. …”

Les systèmes graphiques de l’occitan by Hervé Lieutard

“…The graphic codes used to write Occitan have been the subject of occasional studies, but have never so far been the guiding thread for studying the history of the language in all its extent, perhaps because of the compartmentalization that exists and persists today between medieval philologists on the one hand and linguists and dialectologists on the other, who often give the impression of working on two distinct objects, where there is only one and the same language. …”

Labyrinthes dans le désert. Deux pèlerinages dans le nord-ouest mexicain by Neyra Alvarado Solís

The Papago tribes of Sonora, Mexico, and Arizona, USA, make a walking pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of San Francisco Javier at Magdalena de Kino and the Mestizo pilgrims from Villa de Cos in Zacatecas, visit the sacred image of San Francisco at Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi. …”

Metallurgical and Stress State Factors Which Affect the Creep and Fracture Behavior of 9% Cr Steels by Jonathan Parker, John Siefert

Yet Croce never devoted a specific study to Flaubert’s art theory. …”

Les ittifâq-s communautaires. Escamotage d’archives et autonomie locale dans la province de Tunis au XIXe siècle by Sami Bargaoui

“…In this work, the author examines a batch of Tunisian archives from the modern era, not listed and never made available to researchers. By focusing on the production and archiving processes of these documents – election certificates (ittifâq-s) to public offices in local communities often involving very large sections of men – he questions the dominant gaze in the historiography of the province which, by adopting a state point of view, greatly amplifies the reality of the hegemony of central power and minimizes the role of local agents. …”
