Interconceptualizing Europe and Peace : Identity Building Under the European Heritage Label
2019
AbstractThis chapter investigates how peace is used in attempts to build a collective identity for the European Union in the context of the European Heritage Label (EHL), a central instrument in the EU’s cultural heritage policy. The official EHL documents and the websites of the EHL sites are analysed using a conceptual approach that particularly focuses on the interconceptualizations between peace and Europe. The ways peace is discussed can be divided into four thematic categories: treaties, institutions, practices, and symbols related to peace. The chapter concludes that heritage related to peace is mainly discussed in a non-contradictory manner, with little space for dissonance.
La République briseuse de grèves et l’amnistie (1905-1914). Une tentative de régulation politique du conflit social en France
2013
Confrontes a la violence des conflits sociaux de la fin du siecle, les radicaux menent une politique associant repression, clemence et reformes qui debouche sur un usage systematique de l’amnistie. Appuyee sur une longue tradition republicaine de clemence, celle-ci vise a consolider les cadres de la « civilisation republicaine » en fixant les limites entre le licite et l’illicite. Repondant volontiers aux logiques electorales, l’amnistie est pensee comme un moyen pedagogique de maintenir le monde du travail a distance de la tentation socialiste. Cependant, les debats qui l’entourent temoignent de la persistance d’une hantise du peuple qui se reconfigure parmi les elites au moment ou le mond…
Les métamorphoses de l’amnistie
2015
Mesure politique de reconciliation et d’oubli apres les crises civiles, l’amnistie est apparue en France sous sa forme moderne au moment de la Revolution. Longtemps admise comme un acte optimiste permettant de se projeter dans l’avenir, elle est aujourd’hui tres negativement connotee malgre la persistance de son interet politique ponctuel. Cet epuisement de l’amnistie est moins lie au progres d’un consensus qui la rendrait inutile du fait de la baisse d’intensite du conflit civique qu’a la banalisation de son usage, a la tentation de la tirer du cote du pardon et a son usage recurrent pour couvrir des crimes d’Etat ou composer avec les ennemis de la Republique. Il est cependant surtout lie …
Unveiling the Different Reactivity of Bent and Linear Three-Atom-Components Participating in [3 + 2] Cycloaddition Reactions
2021
The reactivity of a series of pairs of bent and linear three-atom-component (B-TACs and L-TACs) participating in [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions towards ethylene and electrophilic dicyanoethylene (DCE) have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory. While the pseudodiradical structure of B-TACs changes to that of pseudoradical or carbenoid L-TACs upon dehydrogenation, zwitterionic B-TACs remain unchanged. Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) indices characterize five of the nine TACs as strong nucleophiles participating in polar reactions towards electrophilic ethylenes. The activation energies of the 32CA reactions with electrophilic DCE range from 0.5 to 22.0…
Rituals During Lockdown : The "Clap for our Carers" Phenomenon in France
2020
The article will analyse the emergence of the applause for health workers to health personnel, a practice widespread in France since the first day of lockdown. We examine the meaning of this ritual that was first promoted on the web and then adopted by the social actors themselves in the semi-private space of windows and balconies. We will investigate the relationships and the meaning of this practice both on the web and in the social space.

(1) Background: Internet use has become an integral part of adolescents’ daily lives. It is important to understand how adolescents use the internet, and how this use is associated with demographic factors and health from a person-oriented perspective. (2) Methods: The study applied the Finnish nationally representative HBSC data (persons aged 11, 13, and 15, n = 3408), descriptive observation, latent class analysis, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. (3) Results: Entertainment activities (listening to music) and socially oriented activities (liking posts, talking online) were the most prevalent among adolescents, but gender differences emerged. Five different internet user profi…
POLITICS, ACTIVISM AND TROLLING ON THE RUSSIAN INTERNET
2020
In the years that have passed since the social media powered protest movement of 2011-2012, the Russian government has dramatically expanded its restrictions on the Internet, while simultaneously consolidating its grip on traditional media. The Internet, which long provided a space for alternative media and free speech to blossom, is becoming increasingly restricted by a growing corpus of legislation and expanding state surveillance. With legally ill-defined prohibitions on, e.g., offending the feelings of religious believers, propagating 'non-traditional family values' and disseminating 'extremism' in place, online freedom of speech in Russia is at threat. Meanwhile, the Russian state cont…
Does News Frame Affect Free Movement Attitudes? A Comparative Analysis
2021
The policy of free movement—one of the core principles of the European Union—has become increasingly politicized. This makes it more important to understand how attitudes toward free movement are shaped, and the role of the media. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate how news frames affect attitudes toward free movement, and whether education moderates framing effects. The findings from a survey experiment conducted in seven European countries show that the effects are few and inconsistent across countries. This suggest that these attitudes are not easily shifted by exposure to a single news frame.
The United Nations and the European Union
2019
The European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) are expressions of a rules-based global order. The EU has enshrined support to the UN in its security strategies, and its priorities indicate an engagement in a wide range of UN programs and activities to maintain the rules-based order and adapt it to face internal and external challenges. The EU and its member states are the largest contributors to the UN budget. Following the adoption of the Lisbon treaty, the EU has increased its representation at the UN, gaining enhanced observer status in the General Assembly. However, because of the intergovernmental nature of the forum, only its member states have the right to vote. This has led sch…
