Le tiers foncierNouvelle catégorie d’appréhension de l’envers de la planification by Marion Serre

“…The model of tiers foncier, conceived as a thinking and analysis tool, characterizes each of the components of land (form, status of ownership, uses) and informs the social, political, economic and symbolic factors to which they are subordinated. We will see in particular how this model helps to identify the morphological, legal and/or use singularities of land (tiers foncier) and to draw up a form of "identity card".…”

Comparative Simulation Study on Synchronous Generators Sudden Short Circuits by Lucian Lupşa-Tătaru

“…The time consuming matrix numerical inversion at each step of integration, usually performed when selecting currents as state variables, is eliminated by advancing the process models in a convenient split matrix form that allows the symbolic processing. Also, the computational efficiency is being increased by introducing a set of auxiliary variables common to different state equations. …”

‘Traditional Authorities’ and Community Rights in Contemporary Mozambique: between Activism and Incorporation by Giovanni Battista Martino

“…By choosing to retreat within the domain of spirituality and to cede much of their statutory prerogatives to more dynamic and bet-ter resourced actors, ‘traditional authorities’ end up accepting their ‘incorporation’ into the institutional structure of the state as merely symbolic objects and sources of inter-nal as well as international legitimacy, thus obliterating their role as natural repre-sentatives of their communities. …”

The Dissenting Nights of the Neo-Wood Colliers of the Vercors: A Forest Chronotope for a Heterotopia by Christophe Baticle, Philippe Hanus

“…Above and beyond the heritage aspect, this collective experience of the night in a mountain forest does not exclude variations in the realms of the imaginary, symbolic and political. Behind the pretext of charcoal, their protagonists unite through a spatial practice (the clearing) and refer to the two great guardian figures of the region: the wood collier ancestor and the resistance fighter as “clandestines of the night”. …”

The Ecstasy of Communication. Critical remarks on Jean Baudrillard by Pieter Duvenage

“… The socio-cultural criticism of Jean Baudrillard (born 1929), spans from the political turmoil of France in the late-1960s, to the mediatised world of the 1990s and early 21st century.1 In this process his provocative work on the socio-political role of signs, symbolic exchange, simulation, and hyperreality has important implications for communication studies – and more specifically communication theory. …”

Shelters in the Night. The Role of Architecture in the Process of Understanding High-Altitude Areas by Roberto Dini, Stefano Girodo

“…Such shelters act as catalysts in the transformation of the alpine region from an ancestral space to an outpost of scientific knowledge, the “playground” of mountaineers, a place of symbolic and political conquest and, successively, a site of loisir for tourists.In just a few decades, mountain guides and mountaineering associations played a decisive role in this process, initiating the progressive physical alteration of high-altitude areas and paving the way for a widespread building and infrastructural colonisation that has been constantly evolving to this day.Structurally, mountain huts and bivouacs reflect the ways in which the space, landscape and time have been conceptualised and used over the ages, forming an interesting area of study: from the early structures, which were self-contained and impervious to the surrounding landscape, serving merely to provide protection from the outside, up to today’s landmark structures.…”

The benefits of being between (many) fields: Mapping the high-dimensional space of AI research by Glen Berman, Kate Williams, Eliel Cohen

Through interviews (n = 90) with academics affiliated with AI-branded research organisations in the US, UK, and Australia, the article develops an empirical account of the construction of AI research as a high-dimensional field – a field that moves between multiple disciplinary and sectoral boundaries across national and international hierarchies. …”

Tat[o]ueur : pouvoirs du tatouage dans Little Tulip, de Jerome Charyn et François Boucq by Sophie Vallas

“…Drawing and tatooing are at the heart of the narrative, both Charyn and Boucq attempting to probe their powers: when Pavel/Paul becomes an artist in the Gulag, he learns to adorn captive bodies with insignia that reflect the strict hierarchy of the camp or with codified symbols that tell the stories of the criminals’ lives, but he also learns to penetrate those savage men’s personalities and thus to save his own skin by beautifully inking the skins of others. …”

Théorie de la régulation : la perspective oubliée du développement by Noureddine El Aoufi

“…By performing the economical and merchant functioning onto developing economies, the symbolic activity, even in its archaic form, is reflexively linked to the rational component of the center- dominant capitalist dynamics.Eventually, the article pleads for a theoretical (especially as for Amartya Sen) and empirical re-equipment of the theory of regulation extended to the under-development process.This orientation could aim, not only an improvement of the analysis and a criticism of the theory of regulation, but the institution of a normative consistency upon pragmatic reforms that combine human development and regulation inside developing countries.…”
