ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONALITARIAN ALGERIAN DISCOURSE (1930-1954) The nationalitarian discourse is a national claiming discourse born of a colonized people. In Algeria this claiming affirmed itself from 1930, in the texts of four movements (ELUS, Oulamas, PCA, and PPA-MTLD). From 1954, it has found its unified expression within the FLN. The genesis of the nationalitarian discourse (DNA) is analysed by comparing the four speakers. The DNA builds itself mainly refering to the antagonistic colonial discourse constituting its main field of memory. The adjectivization of the noun Algérie (people of Algeria, Algerian people), reveals the recognition of a political reality. DNA limits the namings of Algérie while DC multiplies them. In DC the actancial schemes involving France and Algérie are nominalized and erase the actors while in DNA they are denominalized and the actants reapper. These linguistic transformations marking the opposition between DC and DNA are described as binding/unbinding operations : DNA unbinds what DC binds and vice-versa.

An integrated sequential dynamic computable general equilibrium model is used to study the potential poverty and inequality effects of a complete tariff removal in Senegal. The model is calibrated with a 1996 social accounting matrix and a 1995 survey of 3,278 households. The outcomes indicate small short-run negative impacts in terms of welfare and poverty. In the long run, growth effects captured by the model bring an expansion of the industrial and service sectors and a substantial poverty decrease. However, the decomposition of the results shows that the contribution of the redistribution component to poverty alleviation is negative.

The European satellite sector allows for the analyses of the complexity of technologies and economic organizations. Technical progress in Europe, in the last thirty years, is based on direct state intervention in the innovation and learning-by-interacting processes. In fact, European public institutions, taking benefit of the american technical leadership, have transferred their knowledge to industry and launched the commercialization of telecommunications services through satellites. But, in Europe, the innovation process is based on a systemic approach which, while partitioning competences, is increasing transaction costs. In the end, the central question does concern the adaptation of a public institution to the dynamics of a technology.

The research project Les plus anciens documents linguistiques de la France, version électronique, is the latest and most complex stage of a project launched by Paul Meyer in the late nineteenth century and subsequently continued by Clovis Brunel and Jacques Monfrin. The project aims to employ all possible sorts of computerassisted analysis to study the texts. Allying historical, philological and linguistic approaches with programming and data-management technologies, it opens the way to useful methodological innovations. This article describes the project’s institutional foundations and team structure, special features of the database, the current state of transcription and edition of sources, the text-encoding options that are being used, and the many ways in which the material may be analysed, which open up new perspectives in the practice and theory of philology.

From pen to computer: writing medicine as a sociotechnical practice This paper is devoted to the analysis of what may appear at first glance as a micro-innovation in the field of medical information technology, i.e. the implementation of an electronic medication module in a Danish hospital. Drawing upon a careful semiotic analysis of the module and its use, we show that, even in this case, in order to get the module functionning correctly and to perform the simplification work it has been designed for, it implies a whole set of local transformations, ranging from transformations in the knowledge and practices of the various actors implied in the tasks it is supposed to coordinate, to transformations in the relationships between these actors and even to transformations into patients' life.

Social statistics are fundamental in discussions regarding the problems of underdevelopment and justify the implementation of programs to address these same issues. Thus, multilateral organizations have a strong need for statistics to measure, classify and compare multiple aspects of social life such as health, education and poverty. To produce these statistics, they rely on the expertise of national agencies. This article explores the controversial aspects of expert discourse by analysing a recent corpus of ten technical manuals produced by various multilateral organizations like the OECD, the World Bank, WHO, UNDP and Unesco. The analysis of the representation of decision-making, deliberation, debate, controversy and conflict reveals that these manuals are not free of controversy on both methodological and scientific as well as on micro and macro policy levels.

The aim of this paper is to identify the conditions of occupational integration of undergraduate students in French philology, including translators, in Poland between 2011 and 2014. Applying an inductive methodology, we analyse four pools of empirical data, collected from students of the University of Wrocław's Institute of Romance Studies and their employers. The initial two pools of data (two surveys) reflect the students' side and are presented in detail in a previous paper. In the current paper, we deal with the final two pools of data, proper to the employers' side: the content analysis of the documentation generated during the work placement activities and of the job offers received by this Institute. The global image obtained, in terms of areas of economic activity and employability axes, shows a coherent situation: as undergraduate studies progress, the former become more specific and varied, and the latter become more firmly established.

Many discussions, sometimes heated, sometimes critical, were held on the use of statistics since the beginning of the new millennium. The aim of this opinion piece is to tap these criticisms in order to highlight ten ways to analyze a data set. We thus offer our own version of the Ten Commandments. We ultimately hope this will encourage the scientific community to improve its quantitative analysis practices.
