TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an etude des representations sociales de la personne obese and de l’obesite, and discutes the theories du contact intergroupe and des representation sociales.
Abstract: Resume Cet article presente une etude des representations sociales de la personne obese et de l’obesite. Deux cents femmes normo-ponderees, reparties en deux groupes (absence de contact vs presence de contact avec une personne obese) ont complete deux tâches d’associations verbales : l’une dans laquelle elles repondaient en leur nom propre (consigne standard) et l’autre dans laquelle elles repondaient a la place d’autres personnes (consigne de substitution). Les resultats issus des analyses factorielles des correspondances appuient l’hypothese de l’effet du contact intergroupe sur l’organisation des representations sociales explorees, puisque les participantes en contact avec des personnes obeses semblent avoir des representations plus empathiques que celles ne l’etant pas. En effet, lorsque les participantes ne s’expriment pas en leur nom propre, des representations contre-normatives sont produites. Ces resultats sont discutes au regard des theories du contact intergroupe et des representations sociales.

TL;DR: In this article, a crosslinguistic account of semantic paralellisms concerning verbs meaning "eat" is given, mainly based on both synchronic and diachronic data from Indo-European languages.
Abstract: The aim of this study is to give a crosslinguistic account of semantic paralellisms concerning verbs meaning “eat”. It is mainly based on both synchronic and diachronic data from Indo-European languages, and some comparisons are made with data from a few languages from other genetic stocks: Nahuatl, Mwotlap, Inuit and classical Arabic. The semantic parallelisms are organized semantically into three categories: concrete aspects, perceptual aspects and cognitive aspects. The study of the data suggests the possibility that there exists some universal semantic association for the concept of eating with the concepts of suffering and tormenting.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sociologie pragmatique en prenant pour objet d'etude les facons dont les acteurs apprehendent la realite du dopage.
Abstract: Le but de cet article est d’interroger les methodes des sociolo~gues cherchant a decrire le dopage sportif. Comme tous les acteurs s’exprimant sur cette question, il nous faut clarifier ce que l’on considere comme «dopage ». Plutot que de se focaliser sur des definitions statiques, nous preferons mobiliser la sociologie pragmatique en prenant pour objet d’etude les facons dont les acteurs apprehendent la realite du dopage. Il s’agit alors de questionner les notions de perceptions, de vigilance et de duree, a partir de deux extraits de confessions de sportifs. On s’apercoit alors, que la qualification de «dope », meme chez l’interesse, renvoie a des dimensions sociales complexes.

TL;DR: This article explored the responses to acknowledged anthropogenic transformations of Lake Naivasha in Kenya, whose ecosystem is considered to have been disturbed by the intensification of agricultural uses of natural resources (notably land and water) over the last half century.
Abstract: This article explores the responses to acknowledged anthropogenic transformations of Lake Naivasha in Kenya, whose ecosystem is considered to have been disturbed by the intensification of agricultural uses of natural resources (notably land and water) over the last half century. It examines the ways in which a “payments for environmental services” (PES) project has been implemented, reflecting the rationale of ecological modernization. This article aims to challenge the environmental narrative that supports the project by revealing its oversimplifications. Empirical data demonstrates how the environmental issues addressed by the project are embedded in historically inherited land trajectories. This in turn forces us to reflect on the necessary question of responsibility, an issue at the heart of the debate since the emergence of the Anthropocene concept.
