Le conservatisme américain : entre maturité philosophique et précarité politique by Jérôme NOIROT

“…In the run-up to the presidential election in the United States in November 2012, the Republican primaries once again saw the emergence of a majority of candidates advocating a type of conservatism that has combined three basic principles since the mid-1950s : free enterprise, Judeo-Christian traditions, and strong national defence. Many theories hold that American conservatism in its current expression is philosophically incoherent and will ultimately disintegrate paving the way for a major partisan realignment. …”

« La tentative de l’impossible » ? Regard critique, vision sociale et philosophie politique dans l’œuvre de Philippe Curval by Jean-Guillaume Lanuque

“…Fondée sur une conception exigeante du rôle de la littérature, la production fictionnelle de Curval véhicule une critique des hiérarchies traditionnelles, des systèmes de domination considérés comme illégitimes, une défiance à l’égard des utopies et des révolutions au cours contre-productif, au profit d’une défense de l’individu, de son potentiel et des échanges croisés avec tous. …”

Entre a geografia da ciência e a prática da ciência geográfica: uma narrativa sobre personagens de Montpellier, França by Dante F. C. Reis Junior

“…We conclude that their pathways and conceptions, while enclosing peculiarities, converge in certain aspects; for example, the defense of the “applied geography” tenet.

The role of violence in the classics of Brazilian Social Thought by Bruno de Souza Lessa, Jaqueline Silinske

“…By analyzing how the issue was treated in Casa-Grande & Senzala, Raízes do Brasil, and Formação do Brasil Contemporâneo, we aimed at defending the argument that, although the emergence of violence appears to be, to certain common sense, a new phenomenon, its widespread employment has been an integrative element of social interactions in Brazil, but is mainly used against more vulnerable segments of society. …”

Les autochtones invisibles ou comment l’Argentine s’est « blanchie » by Sabine Kradolfer

“…However, in the two last decades, the organizations defending the rights of the indigenous populations have proposed new forms of citizenship and have been negotiating alternative modes of social and political organization with the state.« Blanchie » in the title of my paper has a double meaning in French and refers – perhaps in a somewhat impertinent way – not only to the process of assimilation of the indigenous people in the Argentinean Nation (here it would be « whitening ») but also to the negation of the various attempts (not only military but also political, social, cultural, legal, etc) aiming at making disappear the indigenous cultures which are (almost) never regarded as reprehensible actions (here it would be « bleaching »).…”

Em busca de um tema esquecido: o lugar da educação nas recentes interpretações do Brasil by Marcos Cezar de Freitas, Luciano Mendes de Faria Filho

“…To do so, we chose a group of works published from the end of the twentieth century, time when commemorations / discussions about the 500 anniversary of the “Discovery” have been built up until the year 2015 when an Economic Crisis has been installed and resulted in the ousting of the Dilma Roussef from the Republic Presidency. The article defends that, if, throughout the twentieth century, access to education was “Panacea” for all the evils in the country, in the twenty-first century, interpreting Brazil became an exercise that allows us to approach the permanence of those who have got to school, increasing the focus of access for inclusion, aiming to understand more than just overpassing the limits, the approximation, the “doing together” that the almost universalization of the basic school provides. …”

High resistance botnet based on smart contract by Hao ZHAO, Hui SHU, Fei KANG, Ying XING

“…The development and application of blockchain technology makes it possible to build a more robust and flexible botnet command and control channel.In order to better study this type of potential new botnet threats, a highly confrontational botnet model based on blockchain smart contracts-SCBot was proposed.The SCBot model adopts a hierarchical hybrid topology structure, builds a command transmission channel based on smart contracts at the zombie subnet layer, and establishes a credibility evaluation mechanism to determine the authenticity of nodes, and enhances the confrontation of the network from the two major levels of traffic and terminals.The construction of small botnet clusters were simulated, comparative experiments on SCBot's command transmission efficiency and robustness were conducted, and its feasibility in the real environment from the perspective of economic costs was analyzed.Finally, a brief analysis and discussion of the defense strategy of this type of botnet were given.…”

Cuteness and aggression in military picturebooks by Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer, Jörg Meibauer

“…On the one hand, it is not possible to represent war as a good thing across the board; on the other hand, war is depicted with respect to certain scenarios of self-defence. The narrative solution seems to be that “cute” characters (that is, anthropomorphic animals and vehicles) are introduced who serve as positive military protagonists that have to fight against aggressive characters representing the enemy. …”
