This article aims at testing the hypothesis that the concepts borrowed from the field of Translation Studies are relevant to the analysis of the architectural photography. Although most of the photographers have historically compared their work to translation, this analogy needs a conceptual definition to be more effective. Particularly, the opposition between translators recalls the old opposition between creative and documentary photography, by highlighting the similarities between these two versions of the same practice. Another notion – defectivity – is analysed in the light of the Benjamin's concept, showing again close proximity between these disciplines. Both examples confirm the usefulness of the transdisciplinary approach.

This article takes roots in a ground experience of research to focus on the ambiguity of the scientist's position when it comes to modify the relationship to the investigated person, trying to reach some kind of equity. It explores how the researcher and the investigated person make use of each other as well as the history of this relationship through the exemple of sociology. Three possible answers will be proposed to remediate these ambiguities : a clarification of the researcher's motivations, a redefinition of equality, and a work of recognition in order to democratize this asymetrical relation. A parallel will be drawn between this topics and the links which bind social workers and users.

AbstractThis paper aims at squarely addressing the question : what is a struggle for recognition ? We first identify the properties attributed to struggle that could explain its central place in current theories. We then raise the question of the enemy by comparing the struggle for recognition to other types of conflicts. We finally consider the limits of struggle, in terms of the expected outcome. It allows to identify three major features of the struggle for recognition, such as it is thought in contemporary Hegelian theories : it enables the subject's self-assertion, which implies a certain resistance ; the one who resists is an enemy with ethical capacities ; what is at stake in a struggle against a resisting enemy is the status of world-changer.

This article addresses the question of nationalism's founding principles in relation with the Münchhausen's trilemma, in the purpose of establishing the nationalism's discursive dimension, which takes place, ideally, in an open public space. We criticize ''ontological nationalism'' and its regrettable tendency to proclaim the “already-nation”, namely, a nation without a possibility of knowledge for the subjects, and where individual discourses about the nation are thus immediately blocked by an already-true interpretation of the nation. Such an interpretation of the already-nation ignores the differentiation between nationalism as a general interpretative setting, and the statements coming out of it, since these statements are the individuals' sole responsibility. The nation is in fact the representation of the power of language itself, which only exists within the thread of meaning created by the nationalist discourses of the public sphere.

AbstractIn her article, the author sets out to consider the principles of “singularity” (all writing is in fact singular always has been and always will be, when one remembers that its underlying structures call up different images of the world) and “transductivity” (through which one immediately recognizes the idea of a sort of mutuality of relations between the world and writing: all writing takes place in the world, from which, to a greater or lesser extent, it is derived, just as every world returns, one way or another, to writing, or even depends upon it). The term “transductivity”, which Bernard Stiegler uses to denote the relationship between the mental image and the object image, allows the author of the article to consider the writing or, put another way, the reality of the documentary; to put into play the so-called effects of realism which the purest — or the least cross-pollinated — documentary calls up; to consider what might here be described as the founding heterogeneity of writing or its angle of relative contingence, a contingence which, as its product, will give rise to reflections of an ide-o-logical order.

The Haitian Act of Independence is never questioned. Archived once and for all, it follows the norms of vital records: acts of birth, of baptism, of marriage. Nevertheless, its author, Boisrond-Tonnerre, did not have at his disposal a formula to follow, in the official style of a registry office. He needed to create his argument. He resorted to a vision of the world of which he and his contemporaries were not necessarily aware. The simulacrum went beyond proclaiming the birth of the Haitian state, and recognised the entry into the world of a new category of man, the essential argument for which became bloodlines, blood attributed in error to Boisrond-Tonnerre for his celebrated declaration of December 31, 1803, but which is only a surety for integration into the human state. When all is said and done, of all the authorities within this semiotic universe, it is only the subjective interpretation of two which really mattered: the celebrant, the role attributed to Boisrond, and the General in Chief, the true acting agent who commanded the generals to renounce France for the good of the nation. Haiti's Act of Independence is here compared from a semiotic viewpoint with the American Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of the Rights of Man in France.
