This paper explores the phenomenological approach to sexual difference in Sara Heinämaa's (2003) interpretation of Simone de Beauvoir's work, whose main thesis consists in understanding sexual difference as a difference of style, a notion of Husserlian phenomenology taken up by Merleau-Ponty, which in this context refers to a shared way of relating to things and the world. Despite the richness of this approach, certain aspects related to the origin and reproduction of this style are not explicitly explored. This can be remedied, on the one hand, by attending to the difference between styles and types; and on the other, by recovering the close link between style and institution in Merleau-Ponty's work. This implies bringing our understanding of gender closer to a theory of performativity, understanding gender as instituted style. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Genealogy is now a global industry, accounting for $3 billion every year in the US market alone. Enhanced via public record digitisation, crowd-sourced data input, and consumer genetics testing, interest in one's ancestral roots has never been higher. Recognising the public interest in personal lineages, the BBC launched the docuseries Who Do You Think You Are? in 2004. Focusing on celebrities' family backgrounds and how their hitherto-unknown forebears' experiences shaped their lives and careers, the format was quickly adapted for other national audiences with nearly 20 versions around the world. This article examines the phenomenon of mediated genealogical research through the twinned prisms of race and postcolonialism. Employing close readings of episodes from the American (Emmitt Smith) and South African (Jabulani Tsambo/HHP) adaptations, as well as the original British series (Naomie Harris), this intervention interrogates the ways in which power and privilege in white settler colonies are unpacked through carefully-curated spatial narrations of private pasts meant for popular consumption. Using approaches drawn from more-than-representational geography, I view these seemingly 'individual' performances of genealogy as instead affect-inducing 'collective' journeys to sites of pain, prejudice, and power(lessness), which in turn serve to shape transnational perceptions of place and space.

From 1454 and 1535, respectively, the families of Maciovan and Birta are noted down in some papers. The preserved documents allow us to partially reconstitute their genealogical relation and offer data on their onomastics, relationship, estate and the functions they got in time. The first family consists in 9 known members (6 men and 3 women), and for the second one, there are data on 13 members (9 men and 4 ladies). A matrimonial alliance between the two families was concluded at the middle of the 16th century. Both of them lived and integrated into a prevalent Romanian environment. The nobiliary status, confirmed even by the first notings, was carried by all the ones belonging to those families. Shares of villages, houses and mills in Caransebeş city and district formed their real estate. Village of Maciova was the main of their properties used as a patronimyc or a nobiliary particle of the Birtas. Their properties had the chance of not being occupied by the Ottomans in 1552. In change, many inside patrimonial conflicts and agreements or between the families' members and other nobiliary families marked their life. Their presence in the nobles assembly in Caransebeş district and in the Council of the omonimous city confirme their nobiliary ascension. Given the absence of male descendants, the two families disapeared after 1600. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the order of transmission among generations, what is concealed --due to its suffering and very often traumatic nature-- returns and becomes present in the lineage through extravagant symptoms that do not correspond to the subject's personal story. The total ignorance of what inhabits, shapes, and motivates the symptomatic condition may paralyze the psychic mobility, thus leaving the subject prey to a scene embedded in the psyche, from where it exerts its effects despite belonging to an ascending line. Problematizing the transmission of inter- and transgenerational secrets from a psychoanalytical perspective requires listening to the generational fabric that supports the story of a life.

This article starts by following the original itinerary of the project of reconciliation with indigenous peoples. This project is expressed, in the context of the Americas, by the work of Bartolomé de las Casas (1484-1566), as well as the dialogue to which it was invited by the work of Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala (~1536-1616). From a transnational and transcultural genealogical perspective and with a dialectical and sociological hermeneutic approach, the aim is to interpret the ontological transformations (subjectivity, truth, power) expressed in these classical and founding texts, in relation to the contemporary problematic of reconciliation in Canada. Finally, the author proposes to arbitrate a conflict of interpretations between Enrique Dussel and Walter Mignolo about the meaning of Bartolomé de las Casas’ work.

Geht es um die Frage, welche Faktoren zur Akzeptanz und Verbreitung von Verschwörungserzählungen beitragen, so verweist die Forschungsliteratur zur Erklärung oft auf sehr allgemeine Bedürfnisse, die in der Regel als anthropologische Gegebenheiten aufgefasst werden, wie etwa das Bedürfnis nach Sinngebung und Orientierung. Der vorliegende Artikel weist auf die möglichen Probleme einer anthropologischen Verkürzung der Sachlage bei solchen Erklärungsansätzen hin und formuliert einen genealogischen Ansatz, der es erlaubt, jene Bedürfnisse, die den Verschwörungsglauben begünstigen, als Resultat eines historisch voraussetzungsreichen Subjektivierungsprozesses zu begreifen. Zur Beschreibung jenes Prozesses werden in Auseinandersetzung mit Nietzsches Genealogie der Moral insbesondere die Motive des Ressentiments und der Schuld als Triebkräfte herangezogen, die insbesondere unter säkularen Bedingungen Projektionsweisen befördern, auf denen Verschwörungserzählungen beruhen.

This paper results from the master's dissertation "Subjective resources regarding the urge for revenge". It is a descriptive-interpretative study that follows a qualitative research methodology. It develops a psychoanalytical inquiry on the different subjective resources regarding revenge in subjects who suffer the loss of their filiation and genealogy as a consequence of an injury. It analyzes the subject in work The Count of Monte Cristo, focusing on analyzing his discourse and his position of "disappeared" and mourning subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The family of Bakocz/ Băcuț originated in Hațeg region and were attested in the Montainous Banat around 1500. In the beginning, that family was a branch of a very large lineage living at Clopotiva, a village in Hunedoara County. A genealogy written in 1591 from practical reasons describes the ancientness of that family from Transylvania and the division of them into two distinct branches: Pogan (staying in Transylvania), and Bakocz (settling in the Banat). The 1591 genealogy lets us know all of the family's members, their realtionship and matrimonial alliances with other famous families both in Transylvania (Barcsai of Bârcea Mare) and the Banat (Bethlen of Ictar, Fiat of Armeniş, and Simon of Caransebeş). The papers reveal the existence of many female and of few male descendants. Such a disproportionate ratio generated the extinction of the family by 1600. The family had an evident Romanian feature, from their origin in Hațeg area and kept it in the Banat environment. Some of the members got Catholic Christian names (Apollina, Francisc, Gaspar, Ladislau), but persistence of the Romanian onomastics is very suggestive: Iancu (Ioan, in papers), Mara/ Marina (Margareta, officially). The family's real was relatively modest, consisting in dispersed shares of villages and lots in the districts of Caransebeş and Mehadia. The matrimonial alliance with the powerful family of Fiat of Armeniş was a real gain for them. But their owning was ever vulnerable as based on the women inheriting, strongly contested at the time. In the neighbor county, Hunedoara, the competing is also carried out between the males from the branch of Pogan and the ladies of the one of Bakocz about to die out. Francisc Bakocz was the one who mostly involved in the local communtity affairs as an elected mayor in Caransebeş. Given the lack of heirs, the promissing evolution of the family stopped at the end of the 16th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, an automated approach to record linkage in prosopographic datasets is presented. It implements numerous genealogical rules for linking individuals. This makes it particularly suitable for datasets that contain a lot of genealogically relevant information about the represented individuals. For this purpose, a standardized data structure is defined into which the input data is to be arranged. The algorithm recognizes entries pertaining to the same persons within this data structure and merges them automatically. In this process, a formalization of genealogical heuristics is performed. The functionality of the algorithm is successfully demonstrated using historical datasets from the city of Leipzig as an example. The program code has been realized in Python and is freely available.

Malgré la réunification des deux entités diagnostiques que sont l'autisme de Kanner et le syndrome d'Asperger au sein du trouble du spectre autistique, persiste une opposition faisant de l'un le représentant de la partie basse du spectre, l'autre de la partie haute. Nous nous proposons de réactualiser cette perception d'une opposition entre ces deux troubles à partir d'une analyse des documents princeps. Nous effectuerons une relecture des articles princeps des deux troubles, l'article de Kanner de 1943 et l'article de Wing de 1981 et en analyserons les différences, les points communs ainsi que le contexte socio-historique de leur élaboration. En ce qui concerne les 11 cas cliniques décrits par Kanner, nous pouvons observer que certains cas cliniques relevés par ce dernier pourraient correspondre à des cas d'autisme de haut niveau. Pour ce qui concerne l'article de Lorna Wing, elle tend à démontrer l'inutilité de maintenir la différence entre les deux syndromes. Le contexte socio-historique des différentes époques, 1943, 1981 et actuelle, impacte le regard porté sur les personnes concernées et leur trouble. Celui d'Asperger, soit le régime nazi, non pris en considération par Wing au moment de ses recherches, a particulièrement influencé la constitution du trouble, le tirant vers le haut et la normalité, les personnes trop handicapées par les symptômes étant le plus souvent euthanasiées. Par ailleurs, de nos jours, la modification du diagnostic de retard mental en déficience intellectuelle et sociale, ainsi que le développement d'un dépistage précoce, favorise la pose d'un diagnostic d'autisme de Kanner. Il semblerait que cette opposition des deux syndromes soit davantage le résultat des différents contextes socio-culturels qui les ont construits qu'une réalité clinique. Les dissensions qui caractérisent le domaine de l'autisme se constituent en clivage, dont l'opposition de ces deux syndromes pourrait être une des manifestations. Elle se manifeste aussi dans l'opposition des comportements de Kanner et Asperger, l'un à l'égard des parents, l'autre à l'égard des malades eux-mêmes. Il serait intéressant, au-delà des données cliniques et scientifiques, d'interroger les fondements de ces clivages intenses qui perdurent quelles que soient les époques. Despite the reunification of the two diagnostic entities that are Kanner's autism and Asperger's syndrome within the autism spectrum disorder, an opposition persists making one as representing the lower part of the spectrum, the other the upper part. We propose to update this perception of an opposition between these two disorders based on an analysis of the original documents. We will review the original articles that named the two troubles, Kanner's 1943 article and Wing's 1981 article, and analyze their differences, commonalities, and the socio-historical context of their elaboration. Regarding the 11 clinical cases described by Kanner, we can observe that some clinical cases noted by the latter could correspond to cases of high-functioning autism. Regarding Lorna Wing's article, she tends to demonstrate the uselessness of maintaining the difference between the two syndromes. The socio-historical context of the different eras, 1943, 1981, and the present, impacts the way people are viewed and their disorder. That of Asperger, i.e. the Nazi regime, not taken into consideration by Wing at the time of her research, particularly influenced the constitution of the disorder, pulling it towards the top and towards "normality," while people too handicapped by the symptoms were most often euthanized. Nowadays, the modification of the diagnosis of mental retardation in intellectual and social deficiency, as well as the development of early detection, supports the diagnosis of Kanner's autism. It would seem that this opposition of the two syndromes is more the result of the different socio-cultural contexts that built them than a clinical reality. The dissensions that characterize the field of autism constitute a form of splitting, of which the opposition of these two syndromes could be one of the manifestations. It also manifests itself in the opposition of the behaviors of Kanner and Asperger, one oriented towards the parents, the other towards the patients themselves. It would be interesting, beyond the clinical and scientific data, to question the foundations of these intense splits that persist, regardless of the historical moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dans cet article, nous proposons d'aborder la réception de la tradition biblique dans l'écriture historique et généalogique de Pedro Afonso, comte de Barcelos, notamment dans son Livro de Linhagens dans lequel l'auteur construit une vision universaliste du temps et de l'histoire. Nous accorderons dans cette étude une attention particulière au Titre I du Livro de Linhagens dans lequel se concentre majoritairement la matière biblique, tout en tenant compte des spécificités de cette section de l'ouvrage où la matière généalogique universelle est contextualisée au temps des origines de « la lignée des hommes ».Nous espérons ainsi apporter une nouvelle contribution à la compréhension de la fonctionnalité structurante des éléments bibliques déjà hérités de ses sources, habilement maniés par Pedro de Barcelos dans la construction de son discours historiographique et génealogique.

Can there be a "radical IR?" Scholars have given little attention to the question of the following: where is radicalism in the discipline? I argue that not only is it possible to think about radical international theory, but that it is necessary in the contemporary world. International theorists have to grapple with developments of fundamental change, including the so-described decline of the (neo)liberal international order, transformations in global capital, and an upsurge in populist political movements that advocate for fundamental political change. In approaching the question of radicalism in IR, the article develops a working definition of radicalism as an approach to politics that focuses on the International as a whole, uses theoretical tools from the humanistic sciences to engage in an active politics of fundamental transformation, and deploys methods that are historicist, genealogical, and oriented toward "getting to the root of things." Additionally, the paper illustrates the virtues and promises of a radical IR by using the case of (neo)liberal world order arguments to show how a radical IR could change the trajectory of these engagements.

The fate of an author and the book mostly depends on the comments of narrators and archivers. Journalistic criticism is largely responsible for the reception of any works with its judgments which is also including heated reactions. Our intervention primarily aims to oust Maran and his character Batouala from the memory of literature as it is being “made” through the press of the time (newspapers and magazines). It also questions the place accorded to it a posteriori by the French and French literary anthologies.
