This paper shows how Catalan Gypsies succeed in developing health-related initiatives at a time when health care and social services are all unanimously admitting that they find it very hard to fulfil their missions with these groups. Gypsy behaviour collectively, with respect to medical consultation and follow-up, has been described as anarchic and ignoring the territorial organization of health-care institutions, at the same time as AIDS, associated with heavy injection drug use, is reportedly decimating Gypsy clans. A mapping of travel undertaken to access health care suggests that, while traditional nomadism may have died out, extensive transborder territorial networks are still being activated, enabling types of mobilization unknown among other populations.

The issue of restitution of cultural heritage often occupies a center stage in the media. The subject fascinates by the multitude of problems that it addresses. The internationalization of the relations, the complexity of the situations, the diversity of the historic, political, diplomatic, economic or spiritual stakes, are so many variables to be analyzed to understand the phenomenon of the restitution of a cultural property. In this article, we examine different geographical and temporal contexts to provide an insight into the legal, ethical, and political aspects that underlie the restitution of artworks and cultural property.

This article aims to examine the theme of war and how it is used in Préchac's L'héroïne mousquetaire. Its main focus is the particularities of war's representation in galant short fiction, its devices, uses and functions, with a view to identifying a possible “galant scenography of war narratives.” The underlying hypothesis is that Préchac tries incessantly to renew the genre of the short story. To this end, one of his writing strategies consists of taking factual elements from war history, including descriptions of military campaigns, while carefully adapting them to the aesthetics of the short story. By opting for a galant rewriting of the Franco-Dutch War, the novelist sought to obtain the assent of his readers, to satisfy their taste while offering a certain novelty, but also, to enter into the king's good graces.

This article analyses the effectiveness of cooperatives for both local development and protecting biodiversity and enhancing its economic value. Based on a study of the argan forest in south-west Morocco, the author shows how argan oil's old-fashioned production methods and informal marketing system restrict yields and profits, maintain persistent poverty and strain this natural resource. Forming cooperatives of women producers has improved product quality, protected this natural resource, better organised the sector and brought it institutional recognition that increases the value of the finished product on the formal national and international market.

In the novels and pamphlets of Georges Darien (1862-1921), the motif of the crowd – alongside that of the individual – reveals the writer's struggle against post-1870 ideology, the bourgeoisie, as well as institutions and their representatives. Eager to defend the ideal of a free individual in a free land, Darien takes up a theme – the crowd and its related lexemes (people, peat, masses) – which he considers critically, thereby affirming a pamphleteer's word and style characteristic of the rebellious writer he embodied at the turn of the nineteenth century, like Octave Mirbeau.
