ABSTRACTControversial topics which are a source of sharp divisions between Jews and Christians could be addressed in the context of debates similar to the old disputationes, although conducted in a spirit of communion and mutual respect. To exemplify his point, the author explores four questions : 1) How can the statement “ the kingdom of God will be taken away from you” (Mt. 21 :43) be compatible with the admission by the Church, of the irrevocable character of the covenant between God and the Jewish people ? (2) Will the messianic kingdom be established on earth or in the heavens ? (3) Can Jesus be considered as the Messiah promised to the Jews, since so many prophecies have not been fulfilled and the expected return of Elijah (Mal. 4 :5) has not taken place yet ? (4). Is the State of Israel a mere political reality, without any connection with the history of salvation, or the « first fruits of the opening of Israel's redemption » ?

Given that at present, more than half of the marriages contracted by Jew in France are mixed, the question “what does it mean to be Jewish?” is of particular importance. When individuals define themselves as Jewish but do not practice, and share their lives with a non-Jew, what do they transmit? My study shows that both partners, Jewish and non Jewish, want to transmit a Judaism that they often call a “cultural Judaism”. They seek to reinvent spaces, symbolic and real, that render their plural identity coherent and allow them to transmit a secularized Judaism to their children. This wish to claim a Jewish identity is often linked to the Shoah.

Few studies had been devoted to the part of Islamic thought in the genesis of Spinoza's philosophy. But it was nevertheless known (since Leibniz) that it was somehow indebted to Jews and Arabs of Middle Age, even if it remains a very original philosophy and the condition of any philosophizing (Hegel). So, in spite of the obvious antipathy carried by Spinoza against it, islam could even find in his philosophy as a kind of dialogue with itself.

ABSTRACT There is a narrow thread in the vast literature on Kafka which pertains to Kafka's knowledge of philosophy, and more precisely to Kafka's use in his fictional writings of some of the main ideas of Franz Brentano. Kafka attended courses in philosophy at the Charles University given by Brentano's students Anton Marty and Christian von Ehrenfels, and was for several years a member of a discussion-group organized by orthodox adherents of the Brentanian philosophy in Prague. The present essay summarizes what is known about Kafka's relations to the Brentanist movement. It draws on Brentanian ideas on the evidence of inner perception, on oblique consciousness, on active introspection, on correct and incorrect judgment, and on consciousness as a species of inner tribunal, in order to throw light on central features of Kafka's writings, including stylistic features. Special attention is directed towards Die Verwandlung and Der Prozess , and a reading of the latter is offered according to which the trial of Joseph K. occurs entirely within the mind of K. himself.

AbstractThe town is an obvious component of a conflict, being at the same time the battleground, the instrument, and the stake. This reflection, starting from geopolitical observations and research on the situation in the Near East, attempts to shed light on the links between cities, and political and military strategies. In doing so, it is possible to measure the complex, sometimes contradictory but true nature of this link, around which political and military strategies materialize according to changing power relationships. During the conflicts which have punctuated the history of the Near East, three strands of the political and military strategies of Israel and its Arab neighbours can be identified : open warfare, the buffer zone (or glacis), occupation and annexation. What is the place of the city in these strategic axes ? The city is omnipresent in the war context, making it possible to identify three situations : the destroyed city, the occupied city, the resulting city. In each case, Beirut and more generally Lebanon's cities, Palestinian cities or “city-colonies,” the Homa Oumigdal of Jewish settlements in the West Bank are reliable examples. Thus, we attempt to show how cities can bring about a spatial dimension of thought, both political (ideological) and military, illustrated by deeds and facts.

The Palestinian rap and hip-hop movement is an expression of claims, awareness of moral standards, information, educational and sometimes political or religious views. It aspires to the articulation and the recognition of both a plural and particular identity. The multiplicity of meanings, characteristic of symbolic work, is also situated at the emotional level. The social communication is neither purely instrumental nor coolly functional. The symbolic social expressions are able to mobilize the attention on diverse emotional registers. There are thus symbols which manifest a capacity to be utilized by the social agents as emotional, positive or negative projections, or as the mechanisms of identity allegiance. They seem essential in the promotion of the cohesion of a group and for the distribution of its values and the central elements of ideology. The phenomenon of hip-hop became significant in the Palestinian contemporary musical and cultural landscape. Hip-hop is not only a musical genre ; it is also a lifestyle, a clothing trend, a philosophy, a social posture. The interviewees see each other as creators of new forms of musical expression. The real culture of the street, hip-hop has a language, a state of mind, signs of recognition, a memory and a feeling of claimed or attributed membership.
