In this paper, we study a controversy which appeared when Deaf athletes integrated the French Paralympic Federation (FFH). This process of institutional integration finally excluded deaf people from all international competitions (e. g. Deaflympics) while promotors of « institutional inclusion » wished the opposite. In this case study, we examine the controversy between FFH and deaf people based on data collected on the internet site and archives of federations involved in the conflictual process. This conflict is based on the type of social participation FFH and deaf people aim at developing. While FFH tends to develop universalistic inclusion from a specific definition of disability, deaf sportsmen claim their specific culture through sport. Few years later, deaf sportsmen and FFH will find a compromise. However, the negociation will be at the adavantage paralympic federation.

This study aims to explore how burn survivors adapt to identity changes related to their body image. Semi-directed interviews have been carried out with 10 adults (from 27 to 65 y.o.) with severe burns, after their rehabilitation. The participants are 7 men and 3 women, most of whom are married and employed. We note that 9% to 83% of the body surface is affected and that the main cause is attributable to flames. The analysis reveals the existence of a complex process animated by a kind of staging around physical appearance and differentiation where strategies of camouflage, exposure and concealment of the scars are intertwined, generating meaning in relation to their bodies as well as in relation to others vis-à-vis their attitudes. These results reveal also the key role played by some factors such as internal resources of resilience and significant relatives, the way others look at them during the rehabilitation process and on their return to community. The results raise questions related to long term follow up practices and the importance of increasing psychosocial interventions with significant relatives.

AbstractThis paper puts sex tourism, which expanded in Thailand from the 1960s' onwards, back into the global context of prostitution as it is locally conceived and practicized. Various historic and cultural factors are considered to explain the scale of the phenomenon. The images of the prostitutes and of their Western customers depicted by the local urban elites and the poor peasantry are compared, and their differences pointed out. Based upon mobility and the contact with foreigners from inside or outside, prostitution stands in a deep state of ambiguity which relates to the identity stakes it crystallizes and to the latent tensions between social classes and ethnic components of the nation it expresses.

AbstractThis paper discusses how tourism, along with a number of other historical processes such as enculturation, and post-colonial nation building, have affected Manggaraians' perception of their culture. In Manggarai, western Flores (Indonesia), people traditionally played a game with whips during the harvest season and during marriage rituals, where men display their skills and try not to be wounded by each other's whips. This game has become an object of tourist attraction. For Manggaraians this game holds increasing importance as a means of promoting their culture, both for tourism, but also for national and regional identity construction. How the game is perceived in various contexts will be explored, particularly what different Manggaraian people think about playing this game for tourists, as opposed to playing it in a ritual context. Through the example of this whip contest, this paper will examine how the idea of “culture” is being constructed in Manggarai, as 'heritage', as 'object' and as 'information', and what role tourism is playing in this construction.

This article focuses on violence in language as a modality for negotiating with the real in Étienne Lepage's play Rouge gueule (2009). Situating our approach at the crossroads of literary and theatre studies subsequent to the work of Marion Chénetier-Alev on orality in theatre (2010), we address the violence done to both the theatrical device and reader-viewers within the theatrical space, which is made possible by the language's cruelty. Our reflexion also expands to investigate British in-yer-face theatre (of which Sarah Kane is emblematic) and its impacts on contemporary Quebec theatre, while emphasizing the knowledge of Quebec dramaturgy that is evident in the play. In this sense, the language invented by Lepage forms a counterpoint to a certain contemporary cynicism and imposes a language that is rich and conscious of its filiations and history.

This contribution of a theoretical, conceptual, and intertextual nature is written from the political philosophy of education and interdisciplinary ethics, in a practical and applied perspective to the digital, or more specifically to the digitalization of the hypermodern democratic world. We begin by sketching a panorama of the different ways in which the notion of a critical approach to digital education can be understood, and by positioning our own approach within it. We then ask how it might be possible to think of public policies for digital education that would bring to life the ambition of a humanist education in a problematic world and to consider the close intertwining of normative links between democratization and digitalization. First, we present the resources contained in Ogien’s work and then go on to show the interest of re-examining the links between education and humanism from a critical and minimalist perspective and from the point of view of the digital mutations of the world. Finally, we discuss what would constitute a digital perfectionism within public education and training institutions and try to discern the conditions under which the promotion of a digital humanism can be exempted.

SummaryFor a good number of observers, both from the inside and the outside, Spain seems to constitute an extreme case of identification between Catholicism and the state. This paper, based on two very well documented recent works by M. Diaz-Salazar, professor at the Complutense University of Madrid, attempts to identify solidarities which link Catholicism with the living forces of modern Spain at three points in its history' : the beginning of the century, the triumph of national-Catholicism, and the return of a pluralistic and secularized society. This analysis poses a fundamental question and gives birth to the outline of a socio-religious theory of the sacred as a favored direction for explicative research. It is to be hoped that the detailed study of the social, political and religious evolution of Catholicism within a modern society may help us to better situate the real solidarities experienced by men and women - here and elsewhere - in this end of the century.

Research and training have a responsibility in creating new fields of participation for and by civil society. A new kind of territorial engineering is emerging. Using a number of examples, we will highlight the shift that is taking place in the way participatory research is conducted. Indeed, the forms of civil society participation are diversifying. Institutional procedures have led to the mobilization of citizens, who are now in a position to take charge of their own projects. These new areas of participation rely less on power relations, as in the early days of citizen participation in institutionalized mechanisms of governance and regional planning. This turning point is analysed through the prism of the people, the mechanisms of cooperation and collaborative territorial governance, and the coexistence of models.

Rivalled in the critical domain by terms such as "transmediality" and "intermediality," or approached from the perspectives of remaking and rewriting, which put less emphasis on the notion of medium than on gestures of repetition within the same "universe," adaptation seems to have become a theoretical horizon of the past. As Sarah Cardwell (2018) notes, by embracing numerous forms of remaking, adaptation studies has, paradoxically, come to do without adaptation and instead finds itself diluted within a larger whole that one might call “intertextual studies”. This article aims to show that the theory of adaptation benefits from encounters with what generally nourishes popular culture: seriality. Several examples of contemporary “neo-Victorian” television series as well as a metacritical analysis of the categories of fictional “world” and “universe” will demonstrate that the conceptual imprecisions between adaptation and intertextuality is also an opportunity to develop theoretical approaches to adaptation that are more open and consider the perpetual expansion of contemporary fictional forms.
