SummaryParadoxically, if the ideal of communication has been one of the most important generator as well as a major by-product of the United States' history, as American media get more and more sophisticated and spued over the world, such an ideal is thrown away, joepardized, denounced, and sometimes, hijacked by Third World countries in order to fulfill their own ideological purposes. In industrialized as well as rapidly developing societies in Europe and Asia, this American ideology of communication is astutely salvaged as contextual information for decision making by strategists involved against the United States on the international economic scene.

AbstractIn this article, we argue that biopolitical sovereignty and the political theory about the state of exception, often derived from the thought of Carl Schmitt, are not sufficient analytical indicators if we seek to understand the politics of global utility of bodies, control over life or the living, and abusive authority and violence that appear to dominate International Relations practices today. To better capture the singularity of the international present, we suggest that an Arendtian political theoretical approach, more carefully tuned to the politics and policies of absolute or totalitarian violence and terror, is necessary. By revisiting Arendt's thought about violence and political agony, we reconceptualize sovereign practices as matters of « agonal sovereignty ».

This article aims to show the vivid filiation of contemporary Innus with their prehistoric ancestors. One might think that this is an unnecessary task as today's innu language, in continuity with that of the 17th century, is still spoken. Yet, with the prevalent belief of the “vanished Indian” in historiography, one still has to demonstrate the mechanisms 1) by which the blindness towards the Other occurred and 2) by which the Innu society was maintained over time. Political organization was not a structure in the Innu society. Kinship and common cosmology rather sealed the social unity. Epidemics and wars heavily fell upon the Innus, yet probably less so than on their native neighbours. The Innus reacted to these dismantling factors by reunifying their families through adoption and assimilation of widowers and orphans.
