The adoption of the Rome Statute has been conducive to the recognition of a right to reparation for victims of international crimes before the International Criminal Court. This is, at first glance, a salutary innovation for all victims of mass crimes. According to article 75 paragraph 2 of the Statute, the court may make an order against a convicted person specifying appropriate reparations to victims or their dependents. However, most perpetrators of international crimes escape prosecution by the International Criminal Court, due to political considerations and the case selection and prioritization policy of the Office of the Prosecutor. Moreover, in the few cases where perpetrators are actually prosecuted and convicted, there is a lack of material and financial resources to implement the reparation order. On balance, the International Criminal Court's reparations system is chimerical and the victims' right to reparation illusory.

Hip-hop dance has historically been the preserve of young men from working-class urban neighborhoods who use it as a means of ‘ emancipation ' from the social injustices that they experience. The present study analyses the social relationships and socialisation processes at work in independent hip-hop dance. It forms part of a theoretical study that sets out social relationships in terms of gender, class and racialisation and was based on six biographical interviews and six months of ethnographic research in two independent dance venues in a French city. The results show a variety of outcomes from the socialisation processes present within independent hip-hop dance. On the one hand, independent hip-hop dance is perceived by dancers (both men and women) as a liberating activity in which they express resistance to daily experiences of racism or sexism, or both. However, on the other, due to the masculine physical and moral stances it calls for and the interactions it brings about, hip-hop dance paradoxically reproduces social norms and relationships of gender, class and racialisation.

Post-traumatic stress in French armed forces members returning from foreign operations has had a considerable effect on veterans over the past two decades. These wounds reduce fighting assets by making a soldier's physical body unfit for combat. The army, its bodies, and its associations that specialize in post-trauma support all recommend athletic activities as a way to help wounded veterans reclaim a role in society, both military and civil. Practicing a sport as a tool for rebuilding oneself speaks to heterogeneous social dynamics. The ways in which one practices an athletic activity reveals differentiated motivations that can be used to categorize armed forces members into “pure users,” who are working on physical rehabilitation in a therapeutic continuum, “ultra athletes,” who are chasing adrenaline in the spirit of endurance and pushing their own limits, and “individualist practitioners,” who are striving to reclaim a sense of self and rebuild their confidence. Using a comprehensive and qualitative methodological approach, this study examines the social use of athletic activities in the post-trauma rehabilitation of soldiers wounded in combat.

Objectives To examine the transfer of knowledge in psychiatry, longitudinally, over more than 35 years, through the 4 editions of the manual “Psychiatrie clinique” published in Quebec, thanks to the initiative of the publication directors affiliated with the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (formerly the Louis-H. Lafontaine Hospital). Our hypothesis is that the evolution of the content and form of such a manual reflects an evolution of knowledge in psychiatry with a naturally educational vocation which of what must be known and applicable in the discipline. We expect, in our longitudinal examination, to identify the evolution of this knowledge transfer and the contexts of this change.

At a time when the first equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policies and action plans are being evaluated in Canadian higher education systems, this article examines the lived experience of student populations at Université Laval that are seeking equity. Using a mixed methodology based on the concepts of equity, diversity, inclusion and discrimination, it identifies hurdles to students' full participation, success and development, such as feelings of exclusion and invisibility, manifestations of racism and the promotion of a culture of excellence. The article encourages higher education staff to pursue a bottom-up approach to change and systematically consider the viewpoints of individuals and student groups in their EDI-related reflections and actions.

The author relies on one fundamental hypothesis to structure his analysis: the predominance of a heterophonic musical texture, inherent to the oral traditions of the maqâm and dastgâh modal system (modal regimes of Western Asia and the Middle East). This specific texture forms the basis of his inspiration. The profile of the author as a performer-composer who is both a virtuoso of the kamâncheh from the Iranian oral tradition and a composer of contemporary Western music, is the key to reading this hybrid article combining musicology and composition. As a traditional musician, he begins by transcribing and analyzing these oral traditions to uncover the underlying mechanisms of this regional heterophony, before, as a contemporary Western composer, drawing inspiration from them to create a similar texture in a string quartet, which he then subjects to in-depth analysis of its integrated heterophonic elements

Today, the community of La Borie Noble seems to have abandoned the ascetic utopia of the Ordre Laborieux de l'Arche founded by Lanza del Vasto in 1948, of which it was once the capital. The introduction of machines and electricity, and the abandonment of asceticism and coercion formalized in a Common Rule, mark out a trajectory that does not, however, result in the adoption of the ideal of abundance that weaves the mainstream society. This trajectory invites us to examine the representations that, today as in the past, guide the community's approach to sobriety, inform us about what is at stake, and give their implementation a transformative impact on the dominant social order. To do this, we'll draw on an in-depth monograph of La Borie Noble spanning more than four years, combined with some twenty interviews and a study of the community's archives. This investigation leads us to show, firstly, that the Ordre Laborieux de l'Arche initially constituted a holistic model articulating a drastic reduction in individual needs and a quasi-autarchic economy. The article then looks at the growth of the Order, which was dependent on the militant activism of its members, and then at the crisis it experienced from the 1990s onwards, which revealed the limits of a demanding model. Finally, the third part is devoted to the contemporary reconfiguration of the sufficiency approach, based on a dual task of composition, guided by the imperative of sustainability and a quest for good living, and negotiation of the distribution of resources.
