Law, institutions, and interpretation in Jacques Derrida by Juliana Neuenschwander Magalhães, José Antonio Rego Magalhães

“…In this process, we aim to develop a better theoretical understanding of the dynamics of how law institutes itself, and continues to function as an institution, through interpretive practices that must, on one side, respect the rules of the institution and, at the same time, re-institute it on new grounds, as Jacques Derrida points out in his lecture “Force of Law: The ‘Mystical Foundation of Authority.’” The problem under investigation is how law manages to differentiate itself symbolically from violence and what are the consequences of this concerning legal interpretation. …”

Découverte d’une culture africaine et fantasmes d’un missionnaire. Le Dictionnaire français-kirundi du Père Van der Burgt (1903) entre ethnographie, exégèse biblique et orientalism... by Jean-Pierre Chrétien

WE INTER-ARE: THE PANDEMIC CHALLENGE REDEFINING HUMANS AND COMMUNITIES by K. Abraham

“…In this context, ecofeminist reconstruction of relationality is projected as a corrective, as it focuses on linking relationships instead of ranking relationships. In addition, the mystical notion “We Inter-Are”, shared by the visionary Buddhist sage Thich Nhat Hanh, is proposed as a key for growing into a consciousness of inter-relationality with other beings on this planet, as it opens us to the infinite mystery of the deeper relatedness of all forms of life. …”

La Tentation de Saint-Antoine au Chat Noir : un exemple de collaboration multidisciplinaire by Michela Niccolai

“…Among the adaptations of La Tentation de saint Antoine de Flaubert, the one made by Henri Rivière deserves special attention. « Féerie à grand spectacle en 2 actes et 40 tableaux », La Tentation for the shadow theatre (1887) is a composite show that blended the visual component with the music (original and arranged by Albert Tinchant and Georges Fragerolle) inside a fixed device where the evocative appearance of the paintings carried the viewer into a mystical universe. The music plays a central role because, in the absence of a text, it must be narrated, so that known tunes, drawn from operas, operettas and café-concert, often used with a parodic sense, alternate with original music composed by Tinchant and Fragerolle. …”
