This essay explores the Neapolitan background of Niccolò Franco and argues that although the main purpose of his Il Petrarchista (Venice, 1539) was certainly a kind of Erasmian and Aretinian satire of the Petrarchist mode which grounded Pietro Bembo’s Prose della volgar lingua (1525), still not enough critical attention has been given to the Neapolitan background of Franco’s education (until 1536), which is essential to an understanding of Il Petrarchista. Indeed, not only did Franco praise the Neapolitan heirs of Pontano’s and Sannazaro’s Academy (Epicuro, Rota and Tansillo), contrasting them with the Venetian imitation of Bembo’s canon, but he himself was also imbued with that Neapolitan humanism which had used poetical satire to shape the intellectual space in sixteenth-century Italy. This paper recalls some passages of Fabrizio Luna’s Vocabulario (1536) and, especially, of Benedetto Di Falco’s Rimario (1535), in order to compare them with Franco’s literary positions—whose conception of imitatio derived also from Erasmus’. In conclusion, this paper suggests that the satirical scheme of Di Falco’s Rimario formulated in nuce a cultural stance that Niccolò Franco would later reinforce in his Il Petrarchista.

Joannes Ravisius Textor’s Dialogi aliquot festivissimi (1530) exerted considerable influence in England in the 1530s. The English Textor movement was spurred primarily by the dialogues’ effectiveness in advancing and popularizing specific religious changes promoted by the government as part of the unfolding Henrician Reformation. Around 1540, the master of Jesus College School in Cambridge, Robert Radcliffe, dedicated a collection of prose translations of Textor’s three dialogues—A Governor, or of the Church (Ecclesia), The Poor Man and Fortune (Pauper et fortuna), and Death and the Goer by the Way (Mors et viator)—to Henry VIII. Radcliffe’s translations, especially the politically charged A Governor, demonstrate that not only his strategically selected source texts but also his method of translation helped him position himself in influential court circles and shape his image as a humanist scholar, schoolmaster, and translator.

Shakespeare’s sonnet 130 is sometimes read as an anti-blazon, and therefore as a misogynist text. Drawing on a large number of Renaissance poems, I show that this is a misreading of the sonnet which, far from presenting the Dark Lady in satirical fashion, pays her an unconventional tribute. Shakespeare seemingly discards worn out metaphors, the better to throw light on their arbitrary nature. Rather than disparaging his Lady, he offers a witty parody of the traditional Petrarchan representation of women : rather than an anti-blazon, sonnet 130 is best defined as a metablason.

In order to discuss the issues associated with artificial intelligence systems (AIS), publications in AI ethics have multiplied recently. While law and ethics work toward a common goal of fostering beneficial and responsible use of AI, these normative initiatives are distinct and must be appropriately situated in relation to each other. In this article, starting from a pragmatist perspective, we propose a reflection on the normative role of what Luciano Floridi calls “soft ethics” in relation to law. We will reflect on the characteristics it should have to play an effective normative role that is complementary to law, as well as on the internormative relations between ethics and law in the perspective of normative pluralism.

This article describes the management of process safety in a French industrial site of a US transnational chemical company. The actors of this French subsidiary of an US group are subject to several regulations and standards at national level, but also at a supra national level, especially European. They must implement them in a particular socio-technical context that requires adaptations. These adjustments are often the subject of various negotiations between the actors of the factory under consideration, with the actors of the group (corporate) and the national control authorities. These actors have indeed to deal with the process safety management regulation developed in the US at the federal level and translated into production and safety standards (procedures, tools, etc.) to regulate process safety in an increasingly homogeneous manner in the various sites around the world. It is therefore an empirical presentation of legal pluralism that this text invites.

The last two years have raised important questions about how we can make the teaching of academic writing more equitable. In fact, the current moment invites us to “learn to unlearn” ways of teaching academic writing that perpetuate inequity. In this reflective article, I draw on decolonial theory and antiracist theory to unwind the ways coloniality has shaped the way that I have taught scientific writing for two decades. This work begins with a discussion of the idea of learning to unlearn from decolonial theory. I then examine how that perspective can change the way we teach scientific communication—for example, in contextualizing the development of scientific knowledge as a series of epistemological developments and exchanges, rather than from a zero point of Western thought. Spiraling outward from the classroom, I reflect on how scientific writing is part of a larger matrix of institutional structures that unwittingly compound colonial legacies inequities. In the end, if we are to address inequity in the teaching and assessment of academic writing in new ways, then we need to acknowledge and challenge the legacies of coloniality in the teaching and assessment of academic writing.

SummaryIn this paper, the authors attempt to identify the manner in which both classical sociologists (Durkheim, Weber and Marx), and recent authors they have influenced, characterize the firm. In so doing, they demonstrate how each sociological tradition stresses a different dimension, be it the institutional and organizational dimensions or social relationships. The authors maintain that while each dimension is certainly legitimate, the links between them have not been explored and they remain isolated from one another. Therefore, drawing simultaneously on models provided by the social movements approach and the theory of regulation, the authors suggest that these different dimensions be transformed into levels of analysis with broader perspectives. Each new level would encompass specific concerns, actors, values and beliefs.

AbstractDemographic surveillance systems (dss) are underpinned by extremely demanding data collection processes that lead to increasing weariness among surveyed populations. Our working hypothesis was that reporting back research finding directly to the participants might mitigate this problem. Consequently, the main objective of our study was to identify the communicative tools best adapted to making findings as accessible as possible to respondents, while taking into account the social and cultural context of our four dss sites in Africa. Our fieldwork led us to reflect on the intentionality of the researcher in the research process, thus forcing us to critically examine our own ethical protocols and procedures. We, in fact, came to understand that the same social inequalities inherent in the research process, which frequently lead to the production of decontextualised knowledge, also contribute to undermining the objectives for which standardized ethical norm and rules were designed.

AbstractThe purpose of this article, which focuses on how migrants' countries of origin and countries of transit contribute to the fight against irregular immigration in Europe, is to analyze how these actors intervene in the management of migration flows and border control, and the resulting impact on the rights of economic migrants and asylum seekers, despite their clear difference in status. We demonstrate that the means and measures taken by third countries in the context of the European Union's fight against irregular immigration not only help foster this distinction between economic migrants and asylum seekers, but also lead to violations of their fundamental rights.
