RésuméIn certain Inuit communities, the traditional knowledge of hide craftsmanship is translated into artistic work with fabrics, thanks to government programs during the second half of the twentieth century. The hanging examined here comes from Keewatin, today the Kivaliq District in Nunavut. This work portraying hunting scenes is composed of 21 appliqués made of thin hide inserted in 13 bas-reliefs. The hanging offers more than a lesson about nature; it opens onto the Inuit soul. The subject is at once existential and indexical. Human-animal relations witness an absence of hierarchies that is true to a system that embraces an equal sharing of goods. This work attests to a closeness with nature that flourishes in a unified concept of nature/culture.

In Amazonas, one of the regions of Brazil most affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, epidemiological statistics published by authorities paint a picture of the health crisis that must be called into question, as it does not or only partially considers the situation of ethnic and cultural minorities living in the region. During the first wave of the pandemic (from February to July 2020), a team of 11 researchers documented and analyzed the protests of Indigenous populations and quilombolas and their appropriation of statistical tools, to appear in the official statistics. As a response to these protests, epidemiological updates published by the states and Amazonian municipalities evolved greatly from one month to the next, reflecting the different interpretations of the health crisis anchored in the imaginations and power interests of Amazonian regions. The analysis underscores the subtle but essential fight of the country's ethnic minorities to ensure that the consequences of the epidemic on their population are recorded both in the official numbers and in policies.

This article explores the characteristics of supporters for what we call right-wing secularism in Japan and focuses on the country's right-wing and far-right populist movements, particularly the Japan Conference (Nippon Kaigi). The piece begins by presenting the historical and cultural context of Japan, a country where Shintoism has largely been exempt from the strict separation of church and state promoted by the partisans of left-wing secularism. It then traces the history of right-wing post-war populist movements and examines the strategies used by right-wing lobbyists to entrench themselves into civil society and the realm of politics. Finally, by analyzing their views on not only the separation of church and state, but on the imperial family, human rights, amending the Constitution, and gender, it is argued that there are affinities between the values these partisans defend and the values of the Liberal Democratic Party.

The search for responsibility for the invasion of Ukraine and the resulting crimes is already moving towards a double axis: the identification of individual criminal responsibilities on one hand, and the questioning of the responsibility of Russia as a State. Potentially complementary, these strategies, nevertheless, refer to two distinct visions of the causes and fundamental nature of the atrocities committed in Ukraine. If this debate is not new, in the case of Ukraine takes on a particular dimension, linked to the whole issue of transitional justice in the region and to a necessary effort to problematize the war in Ukraine. While acknowledging that the emphasis placed on individual responsibility in contemporary times is a reaction to the well-known limits of State responsibility for crimes, it is also a question of evaluating the dangers of overinvestment in individual responsibility. This tends to deprive crimes under international law of their character as part of a State, public or collective, which is essential to their understanding. We will therefore try to think of the complexity of responsibility for crimes under international law as a function of the interweaving, specific to each case, between State and individual, but also collective, responsibilities. This will help bring about a more systemic understanding of international responsibility, which can ultimately do justice to the complexity of the question of responsibility in Ukraine.
