One of the first comic works of Debussy's is Pierrot (1882), a melody consisting of the unceasing repetition of the popular song which is always associated to this commedia dell'arte character: “Au clair de la lune.” Like many artists of his time, Debussy seems to have yielded to the temptation of clothing himself with Pierrot's costume—which is suggested by the poem written by Banville that he set to music, which underlines this identitary ambiguity. Pierrot is also the victim of a love triangle with Colombine and Harlequin—the female character always choosing the latter. Since Debussy dedicated this melody to Marie-Blanche Vasnier, his first muse, a maried woman he had fallen in love with, he found in the words of the poem some other elements in common with Pierrot. The music confirms this self-portrait hypothesis, since Debussy gave the leading role to the note B (in French, si), matching with the last syllable of his name (-ssy). Therefore, behind a seemingly light-hearted work, the artist hid his suffering for love.

In Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant's work, music is everywhere—in his representations of instruments and his homages to great composers, be they Beethoven or Camille Saint-Saëns. From easel to large wall paintings, the artist plays on the relationship between painting and music. We perceive the fourth art as a relevant thread to discuss Benjamin-Constant's work with the objective to analyze the strategies used by the artist to evoke music in his work and renewal the link to Eugène Delacroix.

SummaryIn La Distinction Bourdieu shows that our choices and judgments essentially mirror our position in social space and are mainly determined by habitus made meaningful through a stylization of life and distinctive practices confirming differentiation and social domination. As early as 1978, Bourdieu established the foundations of an analytical approach to sport in Comment peut-on être sportif . The members of the lower classes choose and appreciate sports that integrate the spirit of sacrifice, strength, body contact, the excitement of competition, whereas those of the upper classes prefer sports — often instrumented, and characterized by estheticism and the absence of direct contact. In this article, we seek to show how the paradigmatic anchoring and the heuristic dynamics of the bourdieusian model are now due for critique and amendment in the light of the changes that are helping to transform society and its future. The instrumentalization of the practices of golf for purposes of the social integration of actors, initially excluded from the traditional social distribution of this type of elective activity, constitutes a reverse form of the bourdieusian distinction but also conveys the greater openness of the choices and opportunities available to the actors within the system.

Mass finance has become an essential structure of advanced capitalism ; originating from the margins of fordist accumulation, it has now become a central regulation of the financialized accumulation regime. Mass finance is the foundation on which the securitization of household debts has developed, a practice that was at the origin of the 2008 crisis, and that now has become normalized as an economic regulation of the social relation of mass credit. Securitization is here examined through the lens of Marx's conception of reification, as developed in his analysis of financial accumulation. We follow the process of production of liquid financial capital by the reification of credit relations.
