Actions différentielles de xéno-hormones alimentaires sur les organes reproducteurs, le foie et le tissu adipeux chez le rat femelle : aspects endocr…
2007
Differential actions of dietary xenohormones on the reproductive organs, the liver and the adipose tissue in the female rat : endocrine, metabolic and morphogenetic aspects regarding the carcinogenic process. Over the past décades, the incidence of hormone-dependent cancers has dramatically increased in Western countries as compared to Asian countries. Environmental and dietary compounds able to mimic and interfère with endogenous hormones, especially reproductive ones, may be involved and among these xenohormones. xenoestrogens (XE) are particularly pointed at. The objective of this thesis was to détermine the conséquences of chronic dietary exposure to phytoestrogens and chemical xenoestr…
Suffering as an anchor of critique. The place of critique in critical discourse studies
2017
If we engage in reflection on standards of critique, we are entering the terrain of metaethics, or the question of which ethical standards we should accept. The question is not only, in the sense o...
Discourse analysis as immanent critique: Possibilities and limits of normative critique in empirical discourse studies
2016
Although discourse analysts often conceive of their work as critical, there is little theoretical discussion regarding the possibility of normative critique in the scientific community of discourse analysis. Rarely are the normative grounds and normative scope of such a critique clear. Thus, this article attempts to find theoretically robust and practical answers to the following question: ‘How is a normative critique possible?’ In seeking my answer, I first provide a short overview of the possibilities of normative critique in critical discourse analysis. Second, I offer an argument in favour of immanent critique while explaining both its advantages and its theoretical and practical probl…
Marx's critique of ideology for discourse analysis: from analysis of ideologies to social critique
2018
The notion of ideology is related to social and material reality and especially to the processes of social reproduction. Therefore, the analysis of ideology seems to fall into the domain of discourse analysis. The analysis of language and practices of signification in social contexts constitutes the basic triangle of discourse analysis. However, the Marxist concept of ideology always refers to some kind of falsity, that ultimately enables the researcher to not only analyse but also to criticize ideologies. Ideologies are always in some way false, injust or inadequate. It is at this point that discourse analysts usually raise the most serious objections as they understand truth itself as a d…
Perdre le fil: labyrinthes de la littérature française moderne
2009
From the day when Theseus killed the Minotaur, the Maze turned into a form in search of meaning, and became useless. As a result, one was enjoined to ascribe nw meanings to the empty strcuture. Modern writers, when confronted with such a void, will have explored all its possibilities: while some of them, like Michel Butor, dismiss the sacred dimensions, others, like Serge Doubrovsky, see in it the image of the self (the body, the psyche...), and others still, like Raymond Roussel, Alain Robbe-Grillet or Georges Pererc, make of the pure geometrical structure of the labyrinth an aesthetic model, and thus a mirror of the work of art. However, one still have to ask whether the labrinth is a val…
