Rhetoric of academic applications : Perspectives from Quentin Skinner’s Forensic Shakespeare
2019
The tools of classical and Renaissance rhetoric that Quentin Skinner uses in his Forensic Shakespeare (2014) are here applied to a contemporary context. Skinner’s discussion might have a fairly direct value for a genre of writing that most academics today must master, namely the rhetoric of applications. They have been seldom discussed from a rhetorical perspective, although knowledge of rhetoric is highly valuable for applicants, evaluators and those deciding between applications. Skinner’s book contains both advices for applicants and discussions on both the criteria of application and the possibilities of their revisions in case of innovative applications. peerReviewed
Taïwan, ou De la difficulté à faire entendre sa voix à l'heure d'Internet
2009
Malgre une democratisation reussie, une economie florissante et un libre acces a Internet, Taiwan reste largement absent de l’espace public international. Cette absence resulte de la politique subtile menee par la Chine. La strategie de Pekin consiste a concentrer l’attention des acteurs internationaux et dans le meme temps a effacer toute trace de Taiwan dans l’espace public en tant que pays independant (dans les organisations internationales comme dans les medias). L’article suggere que Taiwan ne renforcera sa position que par l’intensification des negociations directes avec la Chine continentale. L’exemple taiwanais eclaire un peu plus les strategies regulatrices des Etats en reponse aux…

"Mais... je ne visite pas!". Une approche ethnographique de l'usage faible des œuvres
2013
Some photographic exhibitions are nowadays set outdoors in order to popularize art. Through a case study, this article examines the "weak use of images" as it is practised in public places, by passers-by who do not identify art pieces as such, and do not consider themselves as visitors. Their relation to art pieces, in this context, is built on an apparent paradox (they relate and at the same time do not relate to the pieces), and constitutes the minor mode of situations and observed interactions (this relation does not organise or structure the latter).
