The object “resistance to slavery” does not occupy its “rightful place” in French historiography. Whereas the topic of slave resistance has figured prominently in the American/Anglophone historiography since the 1960s, it is difficult not to remark upon the relative scarcity of works in France and the tendency to view the topic through the prism of typology, as though “resistant” slaves were to be limited to secondary roles. This article testifies to a recent analytical turn that proposes to reconsider the resistance strategies of the enslaved men and women of the French Atlantic.

In a global context of mobility, some universities are recruiting increasing numbers of international students. As a result, universities have focused their efforts not only on recruitment but also on supporting the academic success of new student during their first year as undergraduates, a crucial moment in their academic career. In addition to various support strategies already in place at one Canadian francophone university, this article will explore a measure intended to encourage student integration at the institution : an interactive course developed to overcome feelings of being an outsider. The course is intended to foster a better understanding of certain interventions and pedagogical tools, as well as reflection on issues surrounding social representations and cultural stereotypes. Students are invited to interact with one another as they as they develop their student identity and university affiliation. They are also encouraged to reflect on their relationship with knowledge in a francophone and North-American context, a context that favours a pragmatic approach to learning and a utilitarian conception of knowledge. The article explores the university's strategy by placing it in the context of international mobility and by highlighting the issue of undergraduate success. This question is closely related to that of new student's needs and the skills they should develop, concerns that are reflected in course content and pedagogical approaches. In turn, pedagogical considerations lead to a discussion of intercultural communication and raise the question of the importance of follow-up measures and strategies to support international mobility in a university environment.

AbstractThe distinction between high and low policing is increasingly relevant in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. This paper reviews the content of the high policing paradigm and addresses recent criticism. Its first part provides an update of the defining features of high policing : absorbent policing, power conflation favouring the executive, the primacy of protecting the state and massive use of infiltration through of covert informants. It is, thereafter, argued that the high and low police distinction is considered to run deeper than anticipated by the various bodies reporting on the policing and intelligence failure to prevent 9/11. In part three, the place of private security agencies in high policing is assessed. Private high policing must be taken into account, but it only shares in some of the defining features of high policing and is lacking in others. Finally, the contrast between high and low policing is examined in relation to symbolic significance.

Socio-economic democratization requires the presence of an intermediary that ensures economic inclusion and social equity through alliance, osmosis and articulation between politics and citizens. As a mediator, the sociocultural community developer ensures the emancipation of young people and supports their professional commitment by training, motivating, facilitating, and financing their project ideas. This article lays the groundwork for a reflection on the indispensable role of youth houses in the field of social and solidarity economy, almost non-existent in Tunisia, by focusing the analysis on the JEUN’ESS project implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO), in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Investment Support under the EU4YOUTH program (Support for Tunisian Youth) funded by the European Union.
