On the Edge of Enlightenment: The Historiographical Place of the Scottish Highlands in the Enlightenment
Full text linkWhen considering Scotland’s place in the Enlightenment, the nation’s economic growth, its investments in universities and education, and eighteenth-century Scotland’s place as Europe’s centre for scientific and medical research loom large—as do the writings and ideas of thinkers such as Frances Hutcheson, Adam Smith, James Hutton, Thomas Reid, and David Hume. However, these developments, while impressive, barely encapsulate all of the changes which Scotland experienced during the Age of Enlightenment. The Scottish Highlands, for instance, underwent immense changes during the Age of Enlightenment, as the region—which had been economically, socially, and culturally distinct from the rest of Scotland since the Middle Ages—was increasingly integrated into the rest of Scotland and the British Empire through the commercialization of estates, the spread of the market economy, and the breakdown of the traditional clan system—resulting in widespread emigration from the Highlands to the Lowlands or overseas colonies. This paper thus explores the historiographical place of the Scottish Highlands in the Enlightenment, examining how and why historians have connected or disconnected the region from the intellectual and cultural movement. Beginning with a review of earlier seminal works which portrayed the eighteenth-century Highlands as a backward region shaped by “inevitable” external forces, and closing with more recent works which refute those of earlier decades and emphasize the complexity of the Highlands, as well as works which contend that the changes experienced in the eighteenth-century Scottish Highlands were a direct result of Enlightenment ideals and developments

A Critical Analysis of What Works for the Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Sexual and Violent Offenders: : A Review of Practitioners’ Approaches.
Full text linkThis article sets out the professional opinions of criminal justice practitioners on what works for the rehabilitation and reintegration of sexual and violent offenders. This primary study utilises a qualitative method informed through ten semi-structured interviews with practitioners in the field of rehabilitation and reintegration. The findings foreground barriers that hinder and aid the rehabilitation and reintegration of sexual and violent offenders such as, doxing, social media vigilantism, and the impact of it. As a result, the findings build on current understandings of the barriers facing individuals who have committed such offences, and what practitioners would deem to be a positive social change in the development of rehabilitation and reintegration initiatives

« Aimer : Manger l’Autre » À propos de Le peintre dévorant la femme de Kamel Daoud
Full text linkC’est dans le sillage des écrits théoriques sur la littérature et surtout des travaux du philosophe français Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) sur le cannibalisme (voir le séminaire non encore publié de 1989-1989), la religion (Foi et savoir), le dessin (Mémoires d’aveugle) et la peinture (La Vérité en peinture) que cette étude examine la tension qui caractérise les oppositions dans l’ouvrage de l’écrivain franco-algérien Kamel Daoud, à savoir Le peintre dévorant la femme (2018) où l’auteur relate les réflexions que lui a suscité une nuit passée au musée Picasso à Paris, à l’occasion de l’exposition Picasso 1932. Année érotique. Cette recherche éclaire les contrastes scrutés dans l’œuvre de Daoud, à savoir l’Occident et l’Orient, la religion et l’art, le visible et l’invisible, le regard et la main, l’avant et l’après, la peinture et la calligraphie, le corps et l’esprit et enfin l’image et le récit. L’analyse souligne en quoi la confrontation entre le monde occidental et le monde arabo-musulman déconstruit les stéréotypes et met en avant le statut et le rôle de la femme, qui est l’inspiratrice de la création artistique, à travers quatre thématiques : l’érotisme, l’image, les oppositions et la dévoration
Rāvaṇa as a Poet: Divine Dynamism and Devotion in a Hymn of Penitence
Full text linkWhile Rāvaṇa’s enduring legacy spans the religious, political, and intellectual histories of South Asia, it is in the realm of literature that his presence especially remains dynamic, inspiring a vast and heterogeneous corpus across both classical and vernacular traditions. His sole extant poetic composition, the Śivatāṇḍavastotra (ŚTS), widely venerated as a devotional hymn to Lord Śiva, stands as a singular testament to his poetic genius and continues to resonate beyond the confines of sectarian Śaiva devotion. This study reconsiders Rāvaṇa’s literary agency by undertaking a close textual analysis of the ŚTS, presenting a concise scholarly translation of its most widely circulated version alongside a review of variant stanzas drawn from several previously unpublished manuscripts. Through a reception-theoretical lens, this paper briefly explores the hymn’s transmission history and interpretive flexibility, revealing the ŚTS as a site of devotional intensity, aesthetic sophistication, and layered meaning. Ultimately, the research affirms Rāvaṇa’s stature as a cultural and literary figure whose poetic expression continues to provoke scholarly interest and devotional engagement across linguistic, historical, and spiritual contexts
Mécanique quantique de la politique camerounaise dans "La Sphère de Planck" de Lionel Manga
Full text linkCet article propose une lecture du roman La Sphère de Planck de l’écrivain camerounais Lionel Manga, qui relie la politique camerounaise et la physique quantique. En plaçant son roman sous le patronat de Max Planck, l’un des fondateurs de la physique, l’écrivain suggère en effet que la politique camerounaise est comme un champ de forces quantiques où des puissances d’attraction s’exercent, façonnant le pays tout entier. Il s’agit donc d’observer les forces de perturbations politiques qui traversent la société camerounaise décrite dans le récit, mais aussi d’analyser les conséquences qu’elles peuvent avoir sur la forme narrative elle-même.
