About Fragmentation and Divergence
This introduction to volume 7 of Inter Faculty traces the reasoning and objectives for taking the theme of Fragmentation and Divergence as the focus of discussion. It takes a close look at the discussions proper and their outcome. In considering the issues taken up here, the introduction underscores the complexity of the systems that make up the present globalised world (economical, political, social, cultural) and questions the role of research in human and social sciences, highlighting the importance of articulating the phenomena of mankind and his existence and those of nature

Hasard et Histoire / Chance and History
In Western philosophical tradition the place of chance in the history of human societies is either seen as a characteristic way of existence, and thus history is reduced to a form of chaos solely dependent on individual or collective passions and interests, or is put aside by reason of fatalism or necessitarianism, dependent on providence or a higher order acting behind the visible contingency of historical events. This article will show that such indecision between the two points of view comes from an inadequate definition of the notion of chance, and will discuss the works of the philosopher Augustin Cournot (1801-1877) in reconciling historical determinism and contingency of historical events.?? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(1801-1877)????????????????????????????????????????????????
Art and Culture: Memories from the Past Royal Monarchy of France
This article focuses on the analysis of textual data and the extraction of lexical semantics. The techniques provided by different lexical statistics tools, such as Hyperbase (Brunet), today open the door to many avenues of research in the field of corpus linguistics, including reconstructing the major semantic themes of a textual corpus in a systematic way, thanks to a computer-assisted semantic extraction.The object used as a testing ground is a corpus made up by a patrimonial corpus which includes the entire repertoire of the first generation of French Opera librettos performed at the Royal Music Academy at the Palais Royal.The aim of the contribution is to show how an artistic genre can be a bearer of a political message and a vehicle for its propaganda.???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Structural Violence and Migration: Explaining Global and Local Total Institutions
Decades ago Johan Galtung presented his perspective on violence which includes the distinction between structural, direct and cultural violence. This paper tries to incorporate his approach and present the connection between structural violence and migrations with focus on immigration in the EU. The author argues that the consequence of structural violence is the appearance of two types of excluded spaces: a) global total institutions, which include countries or entire regions of economically less or underdeveloped countries; b) local total institutions within the economically developed countries, which include physical spaces (immigrant neighbourhoods, ghettos, prisons, detention centers for foreigners, etc.) and also social spaces of exclusion in which immigrants are put due to stereotype, prejudice and consequential discrimination.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????a) ?????????????????????????????????b) ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Diffusion of Japanese Sports Anime in France: Assessment and Review of Issues
In the late 1980s and during the 1990s, in France, Japanese sports-themed animated films were very popular among French children, to such an extent that French youth enrolments in certain sports clubs significantly increased. This phenomenon occurred in spite of the substantial differences between Japanese and French sport cultures; for example in Japan, sports are considered as a way of practicing discipline, while in France it is viewed as a recreational activity. This article examines our quantitative analysis of sports-themed animated films produced in Japan and assesses the impact of these animated films broadcast in France. Further, we will evaluate previous works on this topic with the aim of proposing new approaches for future academic projects.??1980 ?????? 1990 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
