Ambivalence and Ambiguity in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Monica Michlin

“…Or is Gaines’s point to undo the “retrick” of heroics and of alienation alike, and, against of backdrop of constant, ordinary destruction of black lives, to cast the adult Miss Jane as a Brer Rabbit-like figure, for whom survival and resistance are both dialectically connected and opposed? Is there a contradiction between her “progress” towards resistance shown in the last section, and her metadiscursive comments in the present, and does her literally walking out of her own story give a conclusive meaning to her narrative, or does it point to the author’s not having been able to resolve the ambivalence and ambiguities within the text?…”

La situation de la langue ossète en Ossétie du Sud et le rôle des conflits de 1920, 1991-1992 et 2008 by Laurent Alibert

Permanence and changes in pastoral farming in the Southern Alps by Laurent Garde, Marc Dimanche, Jacques Lasseur

“…Faced with society’s increasingly specific but sometimes contradictory expectations, the types of livestock farming widely used in pastoral areas thus appear to be the best adapted to propose "natural" and local products, but the most vulnerable as well in view of the establishment of a large population of wolves. This contradiction is indicative of the shock of values between two societal projects for abandoned land, the first, heir to a rural tradition that is responsible for maintaining a human presence in the mountains, and the second, the vector of a “naturality” based on the reconstitution of ecological pyramids.…”

Nanai Fairytales about the Cruel Bride by Tatiana Bulgakova

“…The plots about the cruel behaviour of the bride, which are in contradiction to real Nanai traditions, are divided into two categories in the present article – on the one hand, plots connected with the cohabitation of humans and the spirits, and, on the other hand, plots that speak about the marriage of two people in which the cruelty of the bride is very often expressed by the perishing of the bridegroom, who loses a pre-marriage contest with the bride or her relatives. …”

L’arbre au cœur du paysage urbain : symbole ou action militante ? by Frédéric Bœuf, Florence Robert

“…By suppressing or preserving existing plantations, urban development projects can radically change and mark the urban landscape.Based on our professional experience as landscape architects, we examine the true role of the tree in the urban landscape over and beyond official policies and established practises which are sometimes incompatible or even in contradiction with environmental regulations. The aim of the article is to reveal the complex interactions between stakeholders and, based on three examples, to analyse how the “natural” landscape in the city is produced by urban planning projects for which the tree provides a key to their understanding. …”
