At the time when more democratic decision-making progress is put forward - taking into account the complexity of territorial contexts together with the actors acting upon it – the environmental centralised policies led by nations have to be constantly adapted when they are not merely discredited. The French shoreline shows well how new forms of public action are developing, particularly as far as the protection of natural areas is concerned. ICZM illustrates quite well the new rules of public action, often typified in the word « governance ».In that scope, the modes of intervention of a state body such as the « Conservatoire du littoral » are particularly worth considering. Even if its action, focused on property purchase, embodies a priori the state's authoritarian character as regards public action, analysis shows that innovating practices in that matter originate in the public organization. Both centralised and territorialised, the feature of its action makes it possible to characterize a « territorial governance » in accordance with the state.

AbstractThe Figure, the Figurative, De-Figuration, and Over-Figuration : Aspects of Poetic Translation — The figurative landscape of a poem is frequently modified, or, further, leveled, when translated, due to an incomplete understanding and perception — before its translation — of the "interior space of language" that constitutes the figure, as well as the figurative mechanisms. The pernicious, tenacious concept of the figure as the rhetoric's flower, as decorative element, is also often a frequent underlying theme in the translator's approach to a poetic translation; and it is here that we see the destructive tendency of translation : the figure's belonging to the poem's form, which is seen as being one with its meaning : the two indivisible.We examine here the fate of four key figures — comparison, metaphor, hypallage, and repetition — in diverse translations of poetry, in light of Meschonnic's general principle of concordance, for the establishment of a poetic relationship between a text and its translation. The demetaphorisation of any given translation suppresses or weakens the essential elements of the development and creation of meaning. The inverse of this ablation — or destruction, of figures is the addition of poetic translation. Animated by the desire to embellish or to beautify, to poeticize the original text, the translator adds supplementary flourishes onto the source text : this rhetorization is one of the most common translation practices of "aesthetic domination".Staying close to the figurative scheme of a poem means respecting its organic unity, and preserving its textual integrity.

This article examines the new experimental capabilities of the contemporary stage to address the issue of inform in theatre and show that beyond a time for exploration, the concept of inform could represent a dramaturgical possibility for designing a theatrical form that assumes its fallibility and critical value. We rely on the thought of Georges Didi-Huberman, who relates inform to the notion of symptomal aesthetics and the dynamics of montage, exposing aporias as disorders between antithetical forms. Finally, we reveal the acoustics of this dramaturgy of inform through the play Les oiseaux mécaniques by Bureau de l'APA and a research-creation of the Canada Research Chair in Creation of a Dramaturgy of Sound in Theatre, Liaisons sonores.

In France and in Quebec, the training objectives of education professionals are now contained in repositories of skills. The French repository is strongly influenced by the figure of the ‘reflective practitioner' (Schön, 1983). This paper presents a training device for future professionals of teaching and education that focuses on interactions between students through the use of practices writing groups, an inter-student correspondence and ‘cooperative institutions'. By analysing some of the materials collected for research purposes during the training, comprehension assumptions are offered about the subjective rearrangements experienced by students and the device capabilities to promote an appropriate acquisition of professional position.

Fort the most part, and unlike many European countries that have experienced municipal mergers, the French response to municipal fragmentation has been to resort to cooperative logics, a kind of soft alternative to mergers. The progress of intermunicipal cooperation and the preservation of a municipal order of intermunicipality have long been the subject of institutional struggles, both at the local level and in the more general framework of national and parliamentary political debate. In the context of territorial reform, these struggles seem to have intensified and unfolded in a context marked by a form of competitive autonomization of intermunicipalities facing municipalities. Observed in the field of representation (associations of elected officials), they reveal a tightening of the legal lock that is eroding the capacity of local elected officials on the ground to shape the cooperative framework themselves. But these struggles also highlight the capacities of municipalist safeguards, which are deployed both in a defensive mode (statutory and electoral issues) and, from now on, in a counter-offensive mode (“communes nouvelles”, “Engagement et Proximité” Act).

Because it encompasses many fields of study, the act of gardening is difficult to define. In search of a theory, studies of gardens and landscaped spaces currently try to go beyond the scope of human sciences and take advantage of the comprehensive expertise of the natural sciences. This article provides an overview of a transdisciplinary personal experience based on three scenarios: plant conservation, restoration of historical gardens, and sensitive landscape experimentations. These individual examples seek to shed light on the real need for cross-disciplinary research in order to revise established tenets from a broader perspective.

In the Andes, some stones are “raised” by shepherds: when they see them in the mountains, they are in charge of taking them home, feeding them and taking care of them because these “living beings” are hungry and need attention. If these living stones do not question immediately the limits of the living area that humans manifest, they question some common processes: they are raised and nourished but do not grow. They discreetly add their mineral qualities to what it means to be alive and open the possibility of taking into account new qualities to make life. In the European context, other stones also have this ability to disturb the boundaries of the living world: “wobbly” stones defy the laws of a seemingly precarious balance, while blowing stones make their voice heard when the wind rushes through some of their cavities. In this article, the aim is to explore and extend the field of living things based on the sensitive qualities that characterize stones: duration, hardness, apparent fixity. By considering the movements that the actors, in the Andes and in Europe, lend to certain stones, we suggest a descriptive approach of the ways in which lithic mobility is perceived or felt.

This article analyzes the recent initiatives about the Kanon certification concerning the Orthodox world and, more precisely, Greece. It questions the role that the monastic products, but also the religious certifications (like halal, kosher and the Catholic brand Monastic), play in a new approach of economic realities. It examines the use of the religious imaginary by Greek advertising. The aim is to show how the recent demand for monastic products is linked to restoration promises of the economic equilibrium, consumerism becoming in this context not only an experience but also an act of engagement. Another issue treated in this framework, the possibility for the religious domain to redefine the priorities and principles of commercial exchanges.
