01 Feb 2014TL;DR: For instance, in France, a culte aux plats and la cuisine can be traced back to the early 20th century as discussed by the authors, when the plaisir de la République was introduced.
Abstract: Si chaque pays dispose de ses particularites culinaires, qui manifestent son identite
intrinseque, il n’en va pas autrement chez les Francais, lesquels vouent un culte aux plats et
a la cuisine. C’est une evidence qu’en France, manger reste un rituel du bonheur, et que, de
surcroit, tout se fait autour d’une table. Les moments solennels se passent souvent autour
des repas et l’abondance des plats fait echo a l’envergure de l’evenement. Le plaisir de
manger, il n’est point besoin de le rappeler, accompagne les repas et les hotes. Cette
singularite non encore dementie s’assortit de certaines regles de savoir-vivre, que l’on
appelle le service a la francaise.

05 Jul 2018TL;DR: Samuel Beckett and the Language of Subjectivity as mentioned in this paper examines the self's extension into the world, drawing the reader, and the audience, into an aporia that opens up a space for the ethical and points towards a consideration of subjectivity beyond the human.
Abstract: Samuel Beckett and the Language of Subjectivity is a groundbreaking study of how Beckett’s prose and theatre examines the self’s extension into the world, drawing the reader, and the audience, into an aporia that opens up a space for the ethical and points towards a consideration of subjectivity beyond the human. It is the first sustained exploration of aporia a vital, subversive, and productive figure within Beckett’s oeuvre as it moves between prose and theatre. It contextualises Beckett’s intellectual development within his cultural and philosophical milieu. Informed by key developments in analytic and continental philosophies of language it argues for a re-consideration of the relation between Beckett’s prose and drama, asking:
How are Beckett’s translations––between languages, between genres, between bodies––a productive betrayal of the aporia outlined in his early aesthetics?
How is this betrayal figured through a corporeal resistance to the translation of voice, and the insistent (and resistant) materiality of the body and of language?
The primary modes of the self’s extension into the world are linguistic (speaking, listening) and material (engaging with bodies, spaces and objects). Yet what we mean by language has changed in the twenty-first century. Beckett’s concern with words must be read through the information economy upon which twenty-first century identities are forged. Language is digital. Subjectivities are constructed through the complex materialities of big data. Samuel Beckett and the Language of Subjectivity provides the groundwork for further developments in our thinking of Beckett in terms of the posthuman: the materialist, vitalist and relational subject cathected within differential mechanisms of power.

TL;DR: In this article, a contribution porte un regard analytique et critique sur un echantillon de capsules video a vocation pedagogique elaborees pour les MOOC de l'Universite de Geneve.
Abstract: Cette contribution porte un regard analytique et critique sur un echantillon de capsules video a vocation pedagogique elaborees pour les MOOC de l’Universite de Geneve. 19 capsules ont ete analysees a l’aune de differents cadres communicationnels afin d’en identifier les principales caracteristiques langagieres et relationnelles et tenter de comprendre quels effets ces caracteristiques peuvent avoir sur certaines dimensions de l’apprentissage. Nous nous sommes ainsi interesses aux formes de discours identifiables dans ces capsules, au mode de relation que celles-ci peuvent susciter entre l’enseignant et ses apprenants, ainsi qu’aux processus cognitifs que ces formes de discours sont susceptibles de favoriser. Apres avoir discute l’interet d’aborder ces dispositifs mediatiques sous l’angle communicationnel, nous proposons des pistes de reflexion destinees a soutenir la conception de ce type de ressources pedagogiques.

Pour la dimension relationnelle, nous avons eu recours aux concepts d’embrayage (caractérisant la manière d’intégrer le récepteur du message au contexte d’énonciation8, voir Benveniste, 1966) et les éléments permettant de caractériser une telle relation lorsqu’elle existe (identification des interlocuteurs, actes de langage, position)....

TL;DR: In this article, a review of literature on the religious dynamics of sexual abuse reveals opposite paradigms: religion as risk factor and religion as resource, and conversion as normal or pathological.
Abstract: Although despair or discontent has long been thought to be a precipitating factor for religious experience, there has been no systematic investigation of the possible links between sexual abuse and religious conversion A review of literature on the religious dynamics of sexual abuse reveals opposite paradigms: religion as risk factor and religion as resource Likewise, a review of conversion studies reveals three such dichotomies: active or passive convert, sudden or gradual conversion, and conversion as normal or pathological Anecdotal evidence from the literature suggests that the interaction between sexual abuse trauma and a subsequent conversion is more complex To transcend these paradigmatic dichotomies, a narrative approach is advocated More specifically, I use the concept of narrative identity as developed by Paul Ricœur This concept relates to the Ricœurian notion of triple mimesis, which links the practical and narrative fields Starting from biographical elements from the narrative (mimesis I), how does the subject configure his account to make sense out of his experience (mimesis II) and refigure it to construct a survivor/convert identity (mimesis III) Seven non-directive interviews were conducted with people who have suffered sexual violence during childhood and who subsequently experienced a religious conversion From the aforementioned three-step analysis, the positive or negative contribution of the narrative elements – but mostly their interaction – to the subject’s narrative identity can be evaluated We conclude that the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and a later conversion is not as simple as the literature would lead us to believe Conversion can be beneficial to the subject’s survival and contribute to the healing of the sexual trauma However, some religious elements can hinder the recovery process These harmful elements vary from one person to another, and what is harmful for one can be beneficial for another, depending on the life story’s configuration
