L’expérience de Parcoursup des néo-bacheliers by Esther Geuring

“…From a double survey carried out by questionnaire (n=713) and by interview (n=37) among first-year university students, the results show that if their experience of the procedure in its technical dimension is facilitated by the support received, the way they do understand the discourses of their teachers is more nuanced.…”

Notre terre vue du ciel by Stéphanie Tselouiko

“…In this article I propose to highlight the mechanisms of transcription and translation of a territorial knowledge incorporated into words and symbols projected on maps and associated new discourses. As a first step, an analysis of how the Xikrin of the Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Land (Pará, Brazil) relate to their surrounding forest world will allow me to argue that territoriality and learning go hand in hand with the production of sociality that is concretized in the displacement through the forest and the appropriation of species and spaces. …”

Polyphonies coloniales by Caroline Déodat

“…Thus, using the concept of polyphony is heuristic in order to show the irreducibly indexical dimension of this social practice — a poetic, musical and danced ritual — in that it refers to other discourses that have preceded it in history and belong to other enunciative times and spaces — i.e., the archives of the slavery and colonial period.…”

Structuration et trajectoires idéologiques des partis catalanistes et nationalistes catalans depuis la Transition by Alicia Fernández García, Mathieu Petithomme

Biopolitics in critical tourism theory: a radical critique of critique by Rodanthi Tzanelli

“…Such critique should be entwined with questions of (a) institutional and discursive power in the making of tourism worlds and destinations (‘worldmaking’ – Hollinshead, 2009a), but also, crucially (b) the analogous counter-discourses instituted by critical tourism studies scholars, who seek to legitimise their own epistemic community and thus produce a majoritarian voice endorsing an apparent (but not interest or motivation free) support of morally just causes for a better human and planetary futures.…”

Poétique/Politique de l'artifice dans Richard II by Pierre Iselin

“…One is the historical and political context of Queen Elizabeth’s succession — a hot debate in which indirection may appear as a necessary political artifice, the other is the ostentatious and multiple use of poetic citation — mise en abyme of discourses and theatrical props, recurrence of symbolic and biblical motifs, insistence on poetic conceits and topoi, onomastics and wordplay. …”

L’imaginaire fluvial contemporain : un antidote urbain ? by Fanny Romain

“…Two complementary approaches provide a possible answer to this question : one studies the implementation of development projects (Romain, 2014), the other, adopted for this article, analyses the spoken and written discourses concerning these projects. The representations imagined by the clients and the project managers for the two sites selected (the Lez vert in Montpellier and the Têt in Perpignan) are built around three unifying themes based on the following principle : the rejection of a river environment in which the hydraulic, architectural, botanical and horticultural elements are completely controlled in favour of the preservation of indigenous plants qualified as wild because they generate uses and images erasing the urban context of the fluvial public space.…”
