In this paper we attempted to reveal some conceptual affinities or similarities between Buddhism and Structuralism. In the introduction we tried to characterize the limit and nature of this work in mentioning the lack of fundamental studies on the whole history of the influence that Buddhism hadd on the French human sciences of the 20th century. We want to make clear that this investigation is not a comparative philosophy in a strict sense. Meanwhile a certain comparativism was executed to find out some analogies in the deep structure of two great roads of human thinking. This article intends to focus on some convergences instead of divergences to examine the metaphysical foundations of two structuralist thinkers, Saussure and Lévi-Strauss, in Buddhist philosophy. The author evoked three main themes: emptiness, criticism of self, deconstruction of anthropocentrism.

Between the Indian Supreme Court's 2014 ruling recognizing a “third gender” and the implementation of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act in 2019, numerous demonstrations took place across the country. The aim was to protest certain legislative measures in the pipeline. For the first time, the people concerned were able to express themselves through numerous debates about their rights as citizens and about the gender diversity they embody. The term transgender, retained in the law, does not allow for all contexts, languages, and regional differences to be expressed. Based on a portrait of two transgender activists and an ethnography of the vernacular terminology used in Assam and Manipur, two regions little known in studies of sexual and gender minorities in India, I examine the different levels of demands and influences involved in the process of constructing the identity of transgender people.

Les provinces canadiennes, en tant qu’États subétatiques, peuvent être présentes sur la scène internationale en menant diverses actions afin de faire valoir, par exemple leurs intérêts politiques, culturels ou économiques. Il s’agit ici du développement d’une diplomatie parallèle à celle des États centraux. Depuis l’ouverture économique de l’Inde, en 1991, les provinces ont justement l’opportunité de s’insérer dans la croissance économique indienne en réalisant de l’activisme diplomatique afin d’accentuer leurs relations économiques et commerciales et tirer profit de cette croissance économique. Parmi l’ensemble des provinces canadiennes qui ont des relations commerciales et économique avec l’Inde, le Québec réalise davantage d’activisme que ses pairs. Comme plusieurs facteurs peuvent influencer les relations économiques et commerciales, donc des capacités exportatrices, l’objectif du mémoire est de voir si l’activisme …

The promise of the Constitution of India was for the transformation of a hierarchical society through the establishment of a civic community of equals. Anthropological studies show, however, that the status of citizenship in India and the bundle of rights associated with it, constitutes a terrain of claims-making and of everyday contestation. On this terrain intermediation is very important, partly because of the relatively limited infrastructural power of the state, and its failure to ensure the basic literacy and education of the population. The consequence is that through the negotiations in which ‘citizens' must engage with the state, and the ways in which they are so frequently mediated, a hierarchy of citizens (or, more accurately, of citizens, clients and supplicants) is established rather than the equal citizenship promised in the Constitution.
