An atlas of metabolites driving chemotaxis in prokaryotes by Maéva Brunet, Shady A. Amin, Iurii Bodachivskyi, Unnikrishnan Kuzhiumparambil, Justin R. Seymour, Jean-Baptiste Raina

La pensée de Carl Gustav Jung et les courants néo-gnostiques de la première moitié du xxe siècle by Christine Maillard

“…Elle reconstitue au préalable l’histoire de la réception d’idées gnostiques dans l’espace germanique aux XIXe et XXe siècles, puis situe l’approche qu’en propose Jung par rapport à celle d’autres auteurs contemporains et acteurs de cette « récidive gnostique» (Blumenberg) dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, qui privilégie les thèmes et mythes de la chute, du monde créé par un démiurge mauvais, de l’homme comme étranger dans ce monde… L’étude interroge ensuite la construction des notions les plus originales de la théorie jungienne du psychisme (l’inconscient collectif, l’anima, le Soi) dans leur relation à des représentations issues de cette tradition. …”
