Dragon Ball, one of the best-selling comics of all time, has recieved alot of fan content all along the years. Some readers of Akira Toriyama's manga series have created fanfictions depicting the main characters in our modern world, transposed as sterotypical muslim chraracters. It began as a simple prank, then initiated a wide debate among the fans discussing the possible parallels between the stereotypes in popular manga series for young boys and the stereotypes associated with men with a cultural muslim background in France and French North Africa. This article is a retrospective about the reasons why Dragon Ball has the reputation to be a manga with almost universal popularity, and focusing on the particular case of its appropriation by the muslim community in France and French speaking Africa.

Barter has been commonly portrayed as a dangerous element in international relations. Barter is portrayed in much of the literature as a cyclical phenomenon which flourishes with economic depression and fades away with prosperity. It is also said by many critics that barter should be considered a destructive economic practice. Finally, great emphasis is placed on the geopolitical importance of barter. In particular, barter is associated with the aggressive economic statecraft practiced by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.This article attempts to look more closely at the assumptions of the critics of modem barter. The author concludes that there are fundamental differences between the 1930s and the 1980s. Barter in the 1980s appears not to point towards a destructive past but a dynamic and complex future.

AbstractThe Chilean transition to democracy was simultaneously a political issue that raised numerous conflicts, and an intellectual and scientific issue. Under these two aspects, “transitologists” (on the one hand professionals of social sciences specialized on the transitological mainstream, and on the other hand political actors familiarized with this specialized literature) resorted to rational resources being taken from transitology studies in order to address politically and to approach intellectually the transition process. In the end we witness a fascinating exchange between political work and transitology that reminds the research program of government's sciences.
