AbstractThe article deals with the role of equivalence (parameters) in evaluating translated texts. After briefly portraying the controversy over the equivalence concept, it is proposed that this concept be considered on two levels: a system level on which Equivalence criteria are established and a text level on which a set of text-specific criteria is selected for evaluation purposes and the ranking of these criteria (from the evaluators point of view) with respect to their relevance in translating a particular text is made explicit. On a systems level it is suggested that the semantic network-based text and translation parameters of coherence, thematic and/or isotopic patterns be included in the catalogue of potential evaluation criteria. On a text level, possible motivations for translation variances in these parameters are discussed.

Whether we speakof a God called asexual, of Jesus, Mary, characters of the Bible or of the expression of doctrine and liturgy, do we find the representation of the sexual différenciation in the religious language of traditional Christianity? In order to answer this question, the author has observed the workings of language. Starting with her own French mother-tongue, she backtracked towards the original biblical languages. Certain constant recurrences appear raising doubts concerning the effects on Christianity because of its linguistic inscription in languages which are themselves based on the category of gender. A widening of perspectives underlines the difficulty of establishing, in its proper logic, a critical feminist discourse with a linguistic instrument calibrated by and for patriarchal societies.

This article analyzes recent writings on care practices. The following dimensions are examined. First, care practices are defined by their content and their domestic and professional expressions, and by their links with the social production of health. In addition to their content, caring practices imply moral values and attitudes showing the importance of affective involvement and protection. As Systems of knowledge, they receive little social recognition, in spite of anthropological confirmation of their importance in the survival of human populations. Finally, the present social crisis concerning care practices is discussed.

This article examines the relationship between late Medieval narrative structure in French literature and music (specifically the isorhythmic motet) and how that structure was shaped by deeply held beliefs within Medieval culture, including the idea that a person's identity and desires were directed by God. A detailed analysis of the motet De bon espoir/Puis que la douce rousee/Speravi by Guillaume de Machaut is made to support the argument.
