Of Gods and Men? Animals acting as humans in the Proto-Elamite Classic Style
No full textInternational audienceArchaeological research in the Ancient Near East is often saturated with religious interpretations. Across fields such as urban planning, architecture, material culture, and iconographic studies, concepts of ritual, cult, mythology, cosmology, and cosmogony dominate and shape our understanding of past societies. While the value of such perspectives is undeniable, it is worth questioning the tendency to “sacralize” archaeological discoveries. Iconographic studies within the glyptic domain, in particular, frequently interpret symbols or figures almost exclusively through a religious lens. However, alternative interpretations—rooted in social, political, or economic practices—are equally compelling and deserve greater attention. The proto-Elamite glyptic style, dating to the late IVth millennium BCE, is a striking example of this phenomenon. Found on cylinder seals from Iran, its distribution spans a vast region, from Khuzestan to Sistan. This period, known as proto-Elamite period, represents a pivotal moment in Iranian history, marked by the advent of writing and the emergence of complex proto-urbanization processes. These seals, used in local and household administrative contexts, display a highly original and distinctive figurative repertoire, featuring scenes of animals acting as humans, long regarded as fantastical or mythological. This article challenges this perspective, proposing instead the possibility of a deliberate staging of proto-Elamite society. Through this animal-themed iconographic repertoire, socio-economic and, above all, political actors depicted themselves to legitimize and uphold the established order

Initier les enseignants à la langue première des élèves : l’exemple du turc
No full textInternational audienceDans un contexte où un nombre important d’élèves du primaire et du secondaire parlent des langues autres que le français dans leur famille, cette étude porte sur un dispositif de formation continue à destination d’enseignants qui exercent auprès d’élèves plurilingues. L’objectif de l’article est de présenter un dispositif visant à sensibiliser les enseignants à l’impact du plurilinguisme et des influences translinguistiques sur les productions langagières des élèves. Plus spécifiquement, il s’agit de proposer une approche réflexive dans le domaine et d’initier les enseignants à des langues pratiquées par les élèves, en l’occurrence, la langue turque. L’analyse du dispositif montre que l’initiation à la langue des élèves permet aux enseignants demieux comprendre les productions langagières observées en classe de langue

Terms and Digital Discourse: Lost in a Maze of Administration.: A Case Study of the Concept of Unemployment Benefits
No full textInternational audienceOver the past two decades, administrative services have increasingly shifted online, fundamentally changing how service providers communicate with users, and how citizens engage with public services. Today, essential administrative information is published on websites, which became the main channel of communication for informing citizens about their rights and procedures. This is particularly true for welfare-related communication, where citizens must be well informed to access their entitlements. One of the consequences of this shift is that written administrative discourse has become natively digital. In this paper, we conduct a case study of the concept of “unemployment benefits” in order to uncover trends in terminology in native digital discourse. After collecting a corpus of texts from official administra- tive websites in France and the United Kingdom, we use corpus linguistics tools to analyse terminology. We show how diachronic variation in naming key benefit schemes, such as “unemployment benefits”, results in terminology instability, as multiple denominations coexist on the websites. Moreover, this study reveals that websites build a fragmented thread of discourse in which term variation strongly diminishes the cohesive role of terminology. Ultimately, by conducting a comparative analysis of terminology in the UK and France, we identify emerging trends in digital administrative terminology.</p
L'intrication, principe d'organisation de la réalité phénoménale
No full textLes propriétés de complémentarité et d'intrication peuvent être mises en évidence en dehors du strict domaine quantique et même au-delà du domaine matériel, en particulier pour le phénomène psychosomatique. Cette direction de recherche peut être développée rigoureusement dans le cadre d'une théorie quantique généralisée où toute référence a priori au monde physique a été éliminée. Un lien fondamental entre ces deux notions peut, en outre, y être établi comme le montre le théorème de Landeau. Nous proposons de considérer l'intrication comme un principe général d'organisation de notre expérience et de poser quelques jalons à l'élaboration d'une « logique de l'intrication »
