The strategic use of One Nation as a symbol during PMQs from J. Major to T. May

2023

One Nation, as a conceptual construct which started to develop since the 19th century has often been associated with the Conservative Party’s politics regarding their effort to bridge the gap between “the two nations” (the underprivileged and the well-off members of society) and in the elevation of the condition of the people in the UK (a requisite for social harmony). Most recent conservative Prime Ministers have been eager to present their own version of the One Nation tradition based on their views of the role the state should play (either limited or extended state intervention). David Seawright explains that these conflicting stances are not expressed in a strict polarisation within the…

Radical conservatism and the Heideggerian right : Heidegger, de Benoist, Dugin

2022

The paper studies the significance of Martin Heidegger's philosophy of history for two key thinkers of contemporary radical conservatism and the Identitarian movement, Alain de Benoist and Aleksandr Dugin. Heidegger's often-overlooked affinities with the German “conservative revolution” of the Weimar period have in recent years been emphasized by an emerging radical-conservative “right-Heideggerian” orientation. I first discuss the later Heidegger's “being-historical” narrative of the culmination and end of the metaphysical foundations of Western modernity in the contemporary Nietzschean era of nihilism and of an emerging postmodern “other beginning” of Western thinking, focused on historic…

Valeur boursière versus valeur comptable

2011

International audience; Cet article a pour objet d’apporter une explication à l’écart constaté entre la valeur comptable et la valeur boursière des sociétés. Nous avons supposé qu’il peut être expliqué par l’irrationalité et « l’auto-référentialité » du marché, ainsi que par l’incapacité du modèle comptable traditionnel à traduire la valeur de la firme. Nos résultats corroborent la majorité de nos hypothèses et montrent que la distorsion entre la valeur comptable et la valeur boursière est une conséquence directe de la comptabilité au coût historique, de la prudence comptable, de la non-activation des certains éléments immatériels, ainsi que de la mauvaise évaluation (mispricing) des titres…

Romain D. Huret, American Tax Resisters

2014

À l’occasion d’un dîner privé organisé pour financer sa campagne présidentielle de 2012, le candidat du Parti républicain, Mitt Romney, prononça un discours, enregistré à son insu, au cours duquel il expliquait candidement à son auditoire que « 47 % des gens voteront pour le président [Obama] quoi qu’il arrive. Ces 47 % qui le soutiennent sont des assistés. Ils se voient comme des victimes, ils pensent que le gouvernement est responsable de leur bien-être […] Ce sont des gens qui ne sont pas ...

Examining the Veggiee Personality: Results from a Representative German Sample

2017

An increasing proportion of people choose to follow a vegetarian diet. To date, however, little is known about if and how individual differences in personality relate to following a vegetarian diet. In the two studies presented here, we aimed to (1) estimate the prevalence of self-defined vegetarians in two waves of a German representative sample (N = 4,496 and 5,125, respectively), (2) analyze the effect of socio-demographic variables on dietary behavior, and (3) examine individual differences between vegetarians and meat eaters in personality traits, political attitudes, and health-related variables. In Study 1, a strict definition of vegetarians was used, while in Study 2 the definition …

Evolución de los criterios ecdóticos en las ediciones modernas del teatro de Shakespeare

2021

Editorial criteria in critical editions of Shakespeare’s plays have evolved from a 18th-century arbitrary eclecticism into one restricted by the editor’s knowledge of the nature and transmission of the early texts, a knowledge developed by the 20th-century New Bibliography that specially informs paleographical and bibliographical criteria. Roughly from the 21st century, these criteria have evolved into a conservatism influenced by a social view of texts, which stands on a par with the primordial criterion of reconstructing the text intended by the author. This textualism is nourished by a skepticism about the certainty the New Bibliography inspired in what editors know about the texts’ tran…

La Unión Liberal en el sistema político isabelino. Concepciones, alcances y limitaciones (1858-1863) The Liberal Union in the political Elizabethan s…

2017

Este artículo pretende revisar el estado actual de conocimientos sobre una formación política, la Unión Liberal, que presidió el Gobierno más largo y estable de la era isabelina. El unionismo es un proyecto político que tradicionalmente ha sufrido la desatención de la historiografía por ser considerado continuación o solución estratégica para que el moderantismo clásico se perpetuase en el poder. Mi investigación trata de cuestionar esta línea interpretativa y enfatizar que el unionismo puede agrietar más si cabe la tesis de la debilidad del liberalismo español.La Unión Liberal fue un experimento político, original e innovador, que bajo premisas ya contempladas en la cultura liberal, reinte…

Divergent temperature-specific metabolic and feeding rates of native and invasive crayfish

2022

Temperature is one of the most important factors governing the activity of ectothermic species, and it plays an important but less studied role in the manifestation of invasive species impacts. In this study, we investigated temperature-specific feeding and metabolic rates of invasive and native crayfish, and evaluated how temperature regulates their ecological impacts at present and in future according to different climatic scenarios by bioenergetics modelling. We conducted a series of maximum food consumption experiments and measured the metabolic rates of cold-adapted native noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) and invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) originally from a warmer …

La nouvelle carte électorale du conservatisme européen

2010

Les elections europeennes de juin 2009 ont vu la tres nette victoire des partis de la droite moderee. Cette nouvelle « vague bleue » si elle affirme l’hegemonie des droites sur les gauches, redessine aussi la carte du conservatisme europeen. Dans un contexte de crise sociale et economique, ces resultats posent question : pourquoi les defenseurs du liberalisme economique reussissent si bien partout en Europe au detriment des forces progressistes ? Quelle est la « formule gagnante » qui peut-etre explique leurs succes ?
