How are living performances grasped by those who witness them and pass them on “before they settle between the pages […] of the encyclopedias of theater”? By what means, with what instruments, according to what attitudes and strategies? This introduction sets out the itinerary of the “polyphonic investigation” collected in this volume, while proposing a preliminary typology of its “empirical anthology” as well as some conceptual reference points (drawn from Husserl, Merleau-Ponty or Bergson).

The present work deals with the genre of literary testimony and explores its double literary-historical status, as well as its unique position at the crossroads between memory and imagination. The paper analyses the specificity of Jorge Semprún's literary testimonies and focuses itself on the phenomenon of the imaginary memories and the image of snow, considering emblematic examples of the fusion of mnemonic and imaginary faculties.

There are three possible ways of access to phenomena of suffered violence: the first is the experience of those who have suffered violence themselves; the second is the experience of eyewitnesses; the third, which is the most frequent one, is an indirect access through the testimony of people belonging to the first two categories. Each way of access has advantages but also serious difficulties, both in terms of the objectivity of the experience and of the possibility to express it in language. No one is free from an affective and a normative dimension; this implies that there is a certain tension with regard to the phenomenological reduction. The paper offers an analysis of these ways of access. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How can phenomenology help address the problem of social violence? Can phenomenology provide an adequate description of its essence? Is the phenomenological method able to deepen and transform its comprehension? The paper is an attempt to answer these questions through an analysis of three different testimonies of social violence entailing elements of phenomenological description. Starting with a minimal definition of the phenomenological description, understood as search for a meaning for a lived experience and substitution with those who suffer, the article discusses several issues raised by a phenomenological description of social violence, such as the danger of justifying it when searching for its meaning, of blaming the victims who suffered from it or of prolonging its traumatizing effects. The paper ends by questioning the ways in which the phenomenological method can offer support for resilience and inspire resistance to social violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book by Magali Année, Tyrtée et Kallinos (Paris, 2017), claims to establish new and ambitious grounds on which to found an interpretation of Tyrtaeus' and Kallinos' works. By analysing the underlining networks of phonic-syllabic repetitions in the available fragments, she studies how those two poets have elaborated a paroenetic-incantatory diction to make the audience accept the content of the exhortation as an already-lived experience. For instance, she argues that any item in the phonic sequence -μεν/μην/μον/μν-, even as a palindrome, refers to the action denoted by the verb μένειν, "to resist". Année elaborates the conditions for the plausibility of her original interpretation through a re-evaluation of the frameworks through which archaic poems are usually inter preted, and she proposes a new edition of the testimonies and fragments on the ground of radical textual conservatism. After summarising the author's arguments in detail, I conclude that, in spite of their merits, they fail to meet the author's objectives completely. I discuss in turn: how the author arranges the new edition of the testimonies and fragments; how she argues for her central view about phonic-syllabic repetitions and the elaboration of the secondary layer of meaning; and how she analyses meter, which she presents as one of the bases for phonic-pragmatic constructs; and how she conceives of her hermeneutical approach. On this last point, I specifically address the author's view on the relationship between testimonies and fragments, the type of meaning she focuses on, the deconstruction of pre-interpretations, and textual conservatism. I argue that the Année's proposed underlying network of meaning comes at the expense of "meaning" in the more usual sense; we could however have expected her to elaborate on how her proposed layer of meaning enriches or enhances our understanding of the more usual layer. Tyrtée et Kallinos therefore represents an alternative to traditional interpretative approaches, with limits of its own, rather than a re-founding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article offers a historical and artistic interpretation of the way the physical damages inflicted upon the French soldiers of the First World War were brought to the attention of the public through various paintings, sketches, and drawings. Often, the artists who explored this difficult and painful subject had been direct participants in the military confrontations, or they were working near the frontline as auxiliary medical staff, and consequently, they were deeply affected by what they had witnessed. The art of Pierre-Albert Leroux, Gaston Balande, and Raphaël Freida represents an important testimony regarding the atrocity of war, and it is perhaps a more impressive and powerful testimony to the horror of the 1914-1918 conflict than any other documentary sources.

This article analyzes the reactions, feelings and testimonies of some French soldiers, counselors for the Romanian Army, during the difficult months of the year 1917. The Romanians needed to be helped, armed and trained, since they were threatened by the offensive of the enemies and by the beginnings of the Russian revolution. The text intends to underline two points: first - the massive pressure of the cultural stereotypes, reflected by these testimonies; second - the deep uncertainty provoked by the revolutionary behaviors, as most of the French do not really know how to evaluate these facts. The main source of our short research is the diary written by the young second-lieutenant Henry David de Sauzéa, a diary that has never been published. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the criminal trial, the evidence tends to show the existence of an infringement and to determine who is the author. Under the principle of freedom of the evidence, the Criminal Law accepts all types of evidence that they have been researched and produced by certain forms and rules, as well as the discussions reported and debated. The proof can be established by different types namely flagrante delicto, confession, testimony, the evidence, presumptions and collecting clues. However, it was not until the advent of forensic science to the latter category of evidence occupies a prime position in the police investigation and criminal proceedings. Also, the notion of proof is closely related to that of forensics. Classically, forensics, Forensic Science in technical processing equipment index brings together technical and forensic police. The determination of "Forensic science policy" covers all the knowledge, methods and techniques and scientific methods of observation, research, review and analysis to the taking of evidence in criminal proceedings. It applies specifically to the scope of the police and specialized in the implementation of these processes and bring in police permanent assistance to investigators as public prosecutors or instruction in the fight for the identification of criminals.

Abstract: As regards the judicial field, when one''s word is contrary to another one''s and when there is no tangible evidence, how can truth be discerned ? In such a case, quite frequent with sexual assault cases, the investigator''s mission gets all the more difficult since the presumed victim is a child. Knowledge in child and adolescent psychology together with the non suggestive interview''s method contribute to the demonstration of truth. Justice mainly bases its argument on the investigation''s developments and the expert reports to determine whether the suspects are guilty or not and hold as true word of children. The question of the testimony''s credibility thus becomes a key question. However, the truth of the subject does not always correspond to the historicojudicial truth. Considering that there is no unfailing method to report the objective truth, the challenge is to give place to doubt without ignoring the presumed victim. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
