Pratiques Éditoriales, recrutement et réseaux intellectuels dans les revues durkheimiennes (1924-1942)
2019
Cet article a pour ambition de montrer comment, dans l’entre-deux-guerres, la structure et le contenu des revues durkheimiennes (L’Annee sociologique Deuxieme serie et les Annales sociologiques) s’eclairent mieux des qu’on les met en lien avec les reseaux intellectuels et les espaces institutionnels dans lesquels s’inscrivent leurs collaborateurs. De cette enquete, il ressort que les deux principaux artisans de cette entreprise editoriale sont Maurice Halbwachs et Celestin Bougle. Leur travail montre comment ils se sont efforces, tout en conservant les « categories » scientifiques et editoriales durkheimiennes originelles, de donner, dans le cas de Bougle, un espace de reflexion a une nouve…
Le procureur entre l'ordre public et les justiciables : plaintes, procès-verbaux et poursuites pénales à Dijon à la fin du XIXe siècle
2005
L’analyse du registre d’entrée des plaintes et procès-verbaux du parquet de Dijon est riche d’enseignements quant au rôle du ministère public dans le processus pénal. Au delà du grand nombre d’affaires classées, cet article montre que le procureur privilégie avant tout le maintien de l’ordre public, avec une rigueur perceptible à l’égard des infractions commises par les jeunes, les sans domicile et les ouvriers. Conduisant cette politique sous la pression des justiciables qui souhaitent une justice de défense des biens et d’apaisement des conflits, le parquet est amené à composer avec les populations par le biais du renvoi en simple police des affaires mineures (violences légères) et par la…
The Theory of Forms Without Substance a Romanian Legal Transplant Theory Ahead of its Time
2020
Abstract Comparative law and legal history show us that law is dynamic, always in continuous development, change, or mutation. This dynamic dimension has become a central concern for the comparative law scholars. The circulation of legal models in the world (e.g. legal transplant, legal transfer, legal borrowing, legal migration) is an evergreen issue. This phenomenon has provoked numerous doctrinal disputes, which have been encapsulated in complex theories on its possibilities and impossibilities. In the present article, we will not explore the many modern theories regarding legal transplantation (or under other metaphors). Instead, we will go back in time, in the second half of the ninete…
Propositions pour une littérature d’investigation
2017
Le temps semble a l’alliance de la litterature et des sciences sociales. Mais les modalites en sont encore incertaines. Au lieu de considerer l’anthropologie comme une forme de litterature, on peut envisager la litterature comme une enquete. Cette « litterature d’investigation » se donne notamment pour objectif de documenter des formes de vie et de monter des dispositifs rendant compte d’aspects inapercus de phenomenes sociaux. Elle occupe ainsi une position intermediaire : elle se menage a la fois une liberte et une creativite relatives vis-a-vis des protocoles d’enquete propres aux sciences sociales et une certaine mefiance pour un respect trop reverencieux envers la litterature.
Mourning Missing Migrants
2019
While the term missing refers to various instances and practices, we focus on the bodies of deceased migrants that remain unidentified, and on the inability of families to mourn someone when there is no body to grieve for. We deploy some ethnographic fragments of how Italian communities sometimes mourn those who are buried without a name and we describe the many problems of mourning someone whose fate is unknown through a discussion of the notion of ‘ambiguous loss’. Our contribution articulates some of the politics around deaths in migration by considering how missing migrants and their bodies are mourned in multiplicity.
China in Pakistan and the wider region: A cautious but effective leader?
2018
This article assesses China–Pakistan-Afghanistan relations in the period 2014–2018 and asks whether China has exercised distinct pressure on Pakistan to be a more constructive partner for Afghanistan. A central argument is that even as China has failed to alter Pakistan’s policies significantly in the short term it is still continuing to successfully build power and trust in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as with their neighbours to the north and west. This bodes well for China’s exercise of regional leadership in a long-term perspective.
The Oxford Handbook of Law and Anthropology
2020
Abstract This book is a groundbreaking collection of essays that provides an original and internationally framed conception of the historical, theoretical, and ethnographic interconnections of law and anthropology. Each of the chapters in the Handbook provides a survey of the current state of scholarly debate and an argument about the future direction of research in this dynamic and interdisciplinary field. The structure of the Handbook is animated by an overarching collective narrative about how law and anthropology have and should relate to each other as intersecting domains of inquiry that address such fundamental questions as dispute resolution, normative ordering, social organization, …
Cribra orbitalia as a potential indicator of childhood stress: Evidence from paleopathology, stable C, N, and O isotopes, and trace element concentra…
2016
Cribra orbitalia (CO), or porotic hyperostosis (PH) of the orbital roof, is one of the most common pathological conditions found in archaeological subadult skeletal remains. Reaching frequencies higher than 50% in many prehistoric samples, CO has been generally attributed to a variety of factors including malnutrition (e.g., megaloblastic anemia) and parasitism. In this study, we tested the relationship between CO, trace element concentrations, and stable isotope values (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O) in subadult skeletons from a 17th to 18th century cemetery in the historic town of Jēkabpils, Latvia. A total of 28 subadults were examined, seven of which (25%) showed evidence of CO. Bioarchaeological ev…
La géographie humaine d’Hydace
2020
Hydatius’ Chronicle allows us to set a human geography map focused on the periphery of 5th century Roman Empire. Despite the pretention to be universal, it shows a world shrunk to Iberian territories as parts of the greater Christian space. Ciuitas and urbs seem to be interchangeable, but some evidence indicate that the first word is more significant.
The relationship between loading history and proximal femoral diaphysis cross-sectional geometry
2017
Objectives We investigated the relationship between loading history and bone biomechanical properties used in physical activity reconstructions. These bone properties included bone bending and torsional strength (J), cortical area (CA), the direction of the major axis (theta angle), and element shape ratios determined from cross sections of standardized bone length. In addition, we explored the applicability of anatomically determined cross sections. Methods Our material consisted of hip and proximal thigh magnetic resonance images of Finnish female athletes (N = 91) engaged in high-jump, triple-jump, endurance running, swimming, power-lifting, soccer and squash; along with a group of activ…
