L’hospitalité par la langue ou la spécificité d’un droit culturel
Full text linkL’usage heureux des langes est probablement une des meilleures entrées pour comprendre l’importance et la puissance des droits culturels au coeur de l’ensemble des droits humains.

Language and Value Orientations in Higher Education: An African Socio-Ethical Understanding
Full text linkLanguage plays a central role in the life and activities of our world. This article is a theoretical analysis of the dynamic powers of language in driving possible value-based orientations in higher education. The multilingual nature of the continent of Africa and its bilateral lingual experiences during the colonial eras should be considered as both factual and impacting factors in evaluating language dynamics within value orientations and learning in the African case study. To this end, the article attempts to contribute to the fact that there is a need to find or reinstate value in Africa’s linguistics dynamics and its complexities, as well as give them properly structured orientations within the new phase of repositioning Africa in the global spaces
Music as an Universal Language for Peacebuilding: A Review of Counter-arguments
Full text linkMany people claim that music is a universal language considering the impact and beneficial results that it usually triggers, whereas others reject the idea due to contextual or cultural sentiments and parameters that must be considered. Both sides’ arguments make sense but, despite skepticism, music should be considered as a universal language, which becomes clear by depicting it in the context of peacebuilding and by exploring its linguistics and therapeutic effects, through various domains such as philosophy, music theory and the contemporary world. The author argues that considering the counter-arguments and balancing it with this central claim, it is possible to reach an inspiring and complementary common ground between performing arts as music and philosophy
Détournement et instrumentalisation de la Parole de Dieu
Full text linkCet article pointe vers les conséquences induites par l’usage d’artifices rhétoriques et l’abus du pouvoir du langage dans l’Église. Ce sont ceux-là même, les responsables d’institutions religieuses, qui censés défendre un service honnête de la Parole, qui souvent laissent se creuser un fossé entre paroles et actions. Une intention louable de servir de manière altruiste autrui est dans ce cas détourné vers des fins égoïstes : comme gagner davantage de notoriété et de moyens financiers ; assouvir un amour immodéré du pouvoir. C’est moins à démasquer des « usurpasteurs » que nous invite l’auteur, mais bien à la relecture patiente des textes. Il n\u27y a rien de plus beau qu\u27une bible dont « les pages ont été cornées, marquées et dont la reliure fatiguée raconte l\u27assidue fréquentation de son propriétaire ». Chaque fois qu\u27une « bible se détruit par son utilisation, une femme, un homme se construit ! »Cet article pointe vers les conséquences induites par l’usage d’artifices rhétoriques et l’abus du pouvoir du langage dans l’Église.
