This text answers the following main interrogation: if we consider the New Rhetoric as paradigmatic field of the Discourse Analysis, then on which principle does it base, which directs it and which justifies its heuristic relevance? We begin at first to show that the New Rhetoric is the paradigm which is suitable to the Discourse Analysis. Then, we evaluate the heuristic relevance of the New Rhetoric by revealing the insufficiency of the principle of widened reason on which it base. That allows proposing another concept of reason which makes possible a really descriptive analysis of the discursive practices.

AbstractThe relationship between international migration and globalization is generally understood in very simple and incomplete terms in the current research literature. Many studies address globalization only partially or focus on one-sided views, such as how economic globalization (expanding trade, travel and communications) promotes increased international migration. Such formulations are a good starting point but extremely inadequate for a broader understanding because they ignore the impact of other important dimensions and impacts of globalization. They ignore, for example, how globalization generates anxiety in migrant receiving countries about job loss and changes to national culture and how these fears promote new state policies that seek to restrict, control and select international migrants. And they ignore the ways in which globalization increases the desire for people in less developed countries to move to the more economically developed countries. The purpose of this paper is to develop a more complex view in which different aspects of globalization and their often contradictory outcomes are taken into account.

SummaryLost in the art world controversies that reach public attention, is the reality that artists themselves face. Instead of occupying a position of dominance because of their central role in artistic creation, they are pawns in the power plays of institutions, dealers, critics, and other denizens of the art worlds that they face. In the United Stales in particular, except for the rare "stars", most artists are at the mercy of forces over which they have little control. By considering the relationships between art museums and living artists in the United States historically and today, the author shows that artists and art museums—even those specializing in contemporary art works—rarely engage one another directly, but through the mediation of collectors, critics, and other interested parties. The relationship between art museums and artists tends to be tense. These tensions are revealed in the discourses that dominate the diverse postures of art museums toward contemporary artists and their works. They help to explain why artists rarely form communities of any durability, and raise questions as to the possibilities for the autonomy of art. Finally, the emergence of certain kinds of artists' communities may challenge the existing paradigms of art.

Our understanding of the Soviet defence burden remains woefully inadaquate. The official Soviet defence expenditure figure is not helpful. It is not inclusive. There is no concensus on what or how much is covered by other budget accounts. Soviet statistics do not allow independent calculation. Official Western estimates, on the other hand, are equally dubious. They reflect more on Western political dynamics than on Soviet reality. The Soviet defence industry is not immune from the vicissitudes of the economy at large. The Soviet military do not enjoy carte blanche. They contribute extensively to civilian needs, both in terms of goods and services. But, in turn, they extract benefits from a wide range of civilian endeavors. The military-political culture, rooted in an older Moscovy, and reinforced by Lenin's Clausewitzian leanings, is quite different from that which prevails in the west. There is no military-industrial complex threatening the Soviet State. In the USSR the military is OF the State, integral to a wider establishment. The military burden cannot be specified, for much is inextricably fused with the burden of State, and culture. It is systemic. It will be sustained. Because it is OF the System. Western debate is ethnocentric. We need new research, new under standing.
