Abstract

This study seeks to assess the extent to which die digital book market is structuring independently from the print edition market by comparing the pricing of 559 digital and print French and American bestsellers during 2011. Two pricing methods are distinguished: "homothetic pricing," where the digital pricing is a reflection of the print pricing, and "heterothetic pricing," where the digital price is set according to new rules. The French and American markets do not have the same propensity to overcome the pricing practices in the print book market: While the French market's e-book structure is mirroring that of the print book industry, die American market tends to be more independent. This can be explained by die significant structural, legal, and institutional differences between the publishing industries of both countries. In addition, some factors favor die "heterothetic" pricing method: the number of pages and the type of book influence the degree of differentiation between print and digital prices of the same title [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

12. L'apprentissage d'une langue etrangere comme ouverture culturelle (Second Language Learning as a Cultural Opportunity).

Author

LeBrun, Monique

Abstract

It has been suggested that the learning of a second language is not only a practical matter, as is commonly emphasized in discussion about language teaching, but is equally an experience of cultural initiation, particularly through the appreciation of literary texts in that language. The first part of this paper reviews educators' ideas about literature as cultural opportunity and the sociocultural competencies developed through the study of literature, looking at a number of related issues, including the general context of western culture, concepts of culture and subculture, the nature of literature, motivations in learning and teaching second languages, American attitudes, Quebec attitudes, and the sociocultural components of second language literature teaching methods. The second part of the paper focuses on analysis of two contemporary literary excerpts (one French, one Canadian) on the same theme that illustrate the value of literary texts in teaching sociocultural competence. The two texts are appended. (Contains 52 references.) (MSE)

16. Exorcistes américains : la Heritage Foundation, la guerre culturelle et la sauvegarde du mariage et des valeurs familiales traditionnelles.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Historiography often describes the inter-war period as a phase that fostered a transnational «epistemic community» of social scientists and thus largely contributed to the internationalization of social policy. In this context, the American social sciences appear to have played a key role in the international diffusion of empirical social research. However, from the opposite point of view, we can observe that just after World War I social scientists in the United States tended to abandon traditional forms of the transatlantic knowledge transfer, and to p'ivilege national approaches to scientific research. From this perspective, focusing on sociology, this paper intends to show that the interwar period was characterized by two contrasting developments: while certain specialized discourses were proof to the increasing internationalization, key segments of American soc ology developed towards nationalized research agendas.

Abstract

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]

Abstract

As it is obvious from the title, the paper "France-Amérique: une relation linguistico-culturelle ambiguë": "américanisation et antiaméricanisme" has as major approach the issue of the Franco-American cultural relations. It deals on the one hand with the fascination of the American model upon a large part of the French people (especially the teenagers and youth) and on the other hand, it deals with the more virulent reaction, against globalisation and the even through state policies. The paper also aims to answer the question: "To what extent can one speak of a French "anti-Americanism?" [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Philanthropic foundations played a crucial role in rationalizating and organizing American society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The promotion of science was applied to medical reform, leading to the advent of genuine medical research within the framework of brand-new university hospital faculties. With the two world wars, the state became heavily involved in the field of healthcare. After 1945, it became the main source of funding for biomedical research. Philanthropy did not disappear from the institutional landscape; it continued to work in tandem with public authorities. Its role in medical research is now minor in terms of funding volume, but a strategic one in the development of projects aimed at advancing basic science and knowledge of various diseases., (© 2024 médecine/sciences – Inserm.)

38. Quelle guerre culturelle? Les médias américains et québécois et le mythe de la polarisation de la société américaine.

Author

GAGNON, Frédérick

Subjects
*POLITICS & culture, *POLARIZATION (Social sciences), UNITED States politics & government
Abstract

Reviewing the academic literature about the "culture war" debate in the United States, this paper shows that there is no consensus among experts of American politics regarding the thesis that there is a "culture war" under way in the United States and that the American society is polarized on social and moral issues such as abortion, gun control or gay rights. The paper then explains why the arguments debunking the "myth of a polarized America" are relatively absent in the U.S. and Qudbec media coverage of American politics. The last part of the paper argues that the reproduction of this myth has negative consequences for both U.S. and Qudbec societies, but also for Qudbec-U.S. relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

39. L'OTAN et George W. Bush Perspectives du Congrès américain sur la transformation de l'alliance.

Abstract

Much of the current research on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) points to an alliance that is deeply troubled, largely irrelevant, or is bound to collapse. Nearly all of this research focuses on the transatlantic differences over Iraq, the wide differences in military capabilities between the United States and its allies, or the perceived negative impact of alliance expansion. Within recent literature, no research examines Congress's role in shaping the alliance's evolution. This paper examines Congress's views toward NATO across four issue areas; alliance expansion, NATO'S role in Afghanistan, NATO's assistance to the African Union in Sudan, and NATO's role in Iraq after Operation Iraqi Freedom. This paper finds that Congress devoted little attention to shaping NATO's transformation, and was surprisingly disengaged on NATO'S mission in Afghanistan. While examples of congressional entrepreneurship were evident, Congress was mostly deferential to the president. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Summary: Study Purpose: For ten years the market for resorbable fillers has seen a large increase. A CE mark is sufficient for its placing on the market, they do not require AMM because they are not considered drugs. The Macrolane® is a hyaluronic acid NASHA gel-based technology, available on the French market since 2007 as filler used in all areas of the body except face and breasts. It is highly crosslinked, which slows its resorption, leaving in place long-term waste. At end of 2008, Macrolane® received a CE mark for breast augmentation. The aim of this paper is to review current scientific knowledge on the Macrolane™ and list the many uncertainties regarding its recent breast indication. Materials and methods: We reviewed the PubMed literature and study levels of evidence on Macrolane®. All AFFSAPS communication and correspondence with the SOFCPRE on hyaluronic acids and particularly Macrolane™ were collected. Results: At the moment there is no scientific study of high level of evidence which has studied the effects of Macrolane® on breast parenchyma in terms of carcinogenesis or the disruption of radiological monitoring of the breast. The subglandular method of injection remains complex and uncertain especially about the risk of wrong passage. Conclusions: The Macrolane® is proposed as an alternative less invasive than breast implants. Nevertheless the lack of scientific data on this product led to its non approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States. Currently there remains too much uncertainty on this filler for reasonable use plebiscite. It would therefore be preferable to return to the manufacturer the burden of proof of Macrolane® safety and security and limit its use in clinical trials yet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper presents a multivariate methodology for obtaining measures of unobserved macroeconomic variables. The used procedure is the multivariate Hodrick-Prescot which depends on smoothing parameters. The choice of these parameters is crucial. Our approach is based on consistent estimators of these parameters, depending only on the observed data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
