Many contemporary artists call upon the iconography of witchcraft, rewriting its past stories, exploring current ones, or actualizing practices and gestures (Camille Ducellier, Tatiana Karl Pez, Myriam Mihindou). Beyond folklore and esotericism, the witch is for these artists a figure of female emancipation with powerful subversive potential. Since the creation of the W.I.T.C.H. and the birth of anti-nuclear movements in the United States in the 1970s, women have emerged as producers of rituals capable of generating collective power from different perspectives of struggle (feminist, ecologist, anti-capitalist). This militant projection is now resurfacing with force, particularly through the first gatherings of Witch Bloc Paris. Artists are also reviving the tradition of ritual, designing actions whose objective is to bring politics and magic together. In this paper, we will question how artists reinvest ritual practices associated with the imagination of witchcraft, while proposing new forms of creative resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the Republican Party's national convention in 1992, Pat Buchanan claimed that a 'culture war' was raging in the United States. While Buchanan described this 'war' as a 'struggle for the soul of America,' we use the culture-war concept to refer to the efforts of various conservative political and social actors trying to protect US traditional values and to 'exorcise' the liberal and secular 'demons' of the United States. Accordingly, this paper focuses on one of these actors: the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank located in Washington, DC. Performing a postructuralist discursive analysis of various 'texts' produced by three scholars from the Heritage about marriage, family values, and sexuality, the paper shows how these scholars strategically rely on certain words and expressions in their research in order to reach two political goals: (1) marginalize liberal views on the issues just mentioned; and (2) discipline Americans by leading them to embrace a traditional/conservative interpretation of US national identity.

The WTO is often blamed for not taking into account noneconomic values although article XX has occasionally been invoked to justify internal measures that were deviant from GATT prescriptions. China - Audiovisual Services deals with this topic in opening a new era in WTO law-making.This paper thus aims at promoting the idea of a controlled globalisation which combines market liberalisation rules and the necessary protection of noneconomic values.

Particular focus is given to the Iroquois Indians from New York, the Shawnees and the Delawares from the Ohio valley, and the Cherokees from the South.
