Elle est venue de ville en ville, de camp en camp, de tranchée en tranchée. Elle console de vivre et console de mourir; elle sourit, elle panse des blessures. Elle est toute la douceur et toute la pitié dans ce pays de Flandre où la brume lourde enveloppe le paysage triste, linceul de grisaille sur tant et tant de linceuls de lin...

The Duty of Responsible Administration and the Problem of Police Accountability
No full textMany contemporary civil rights claims arise from institutional activity that, while troubling, is neither malicious nor egregiously reckless. When lawmakers find themselves unable to produce substantive rules for such activity, they often turn to regulating the actors' exercise of discretion. The consequence is an emerging duty of responsible administration that requires managers to actively assess the effects of their conduct on civil rights values and make reasonable efforts to mitigate harm to protected groups. This doctrinal evolution partially but imperfectly converges with an increasing emphasis in public administration on the need to reassess routines in the light of changing circumstances. We illustrate the doctrinal and administrative changes with a study of policing. We discuss court-supervised reforms in New York and Cincinnati as examples of contrasting trajectories that these developments can take. Both initiatives are better understood in terms of an implicit duty of responsible administration than as an expression of any particular substantive right. The Cincinnati intervention, however, reaches more deeply into core administrative practices and indeed mandates a particular crime control strategy: Problem-Oriented Policing (POP). As such, it typifies a more ambitious type of structural intervention that parallels comprehensive civil rights initiatives in other areas

Alain au prisme de l’ontologie phénoménologique. Relectures croisées d'Alain et de Sartre
No full textpeer reviewedParmi les grands représentants de la « génération 1905 », selon l’expression de J.-F. Sirinelli, Sartre passe pour celui qui a refusé l’enseignement d’Alain alors que des penseurs aussi différents qu’Aron, Canguilhem ou Hyppolite acceptaient, au moins pour un temps, l’enseignement du maître. Cette appréciation expéditive ne fait droit ni à ce qu’on sait aujourd’hui des premières tentatives philosophiques de Sartre ni au travail inlassable de relecture d’Alain que Sartre aura mené, en sous-main, tout au long de sa trajectoire intellectuelle. Dans cet article, on procédera dès lors, d’une part, au repérage de l’influence d’Alain dans une série de textes, souvent posthumes, qui passent pour des textes préparatoires aux grandes œuvres. On montrera, d’autre part, que cette influence d’Alain s’insinue jusqu’au cœur de l’ontologie phénoménologique de Sartre, dans L’être et le néant, puis dans les prolongements que Sartre y a donnés dans ses psychanalyses existentielles. Au total, on montrera que la plupart des interprétations récentes de Sartre (Coorebyter, Breeur, Gély, Giovannangeli, J. Simont, etc.), depuis une dizaine d’années, se resserrent autour de la relation largement insoupçonnée que l’ontologie phénoménologique sartrienne entretient avec la pensée d’Alain

Subjectivity, gesture and language consciousness in the early prose fiction of Jean Genet (1910-1986).
No full textPhDThis thesis interprets the language of the self in both editions of Jean Genet's five works
of early prose fiction. Its appendices present the first list of the 65000 words of excisions
and variants between the subscribers' (1943-48) and public editions (1949-53).
Many critics have interpreted Genet's works in terms of his life, applying to them
a reductive notion of the self. Subjectivity in this thesis is a broader concept which
addresses the (self-) representation of narrators and characters. I apply close textual
analysis to two types of passage (relating to gestures and language consciousness
respectively) which represent subjectivity in non-specular language (where one thing does
not clearly reflect or refer to another).
I use the ubiquitous 'geste' as the guide-word for my analysis of gesture since its
usage is similar in each of the texts considered. Gestures are of course mediated by
language in Genet's texts but, surprisingly, are only partially represented in visual terms.
Consequently, gestures do not serve to consolidate subjectivity and resist attribution to
individual characters. It is rather in the interpretation of gestures that narrators and
characters who both perform and interpret gestures can negotiate the assigning of
meaning and the concomitant firming tip of subjectivity.
Language consciousness is a textual speculation on the production and reception
of a passage or text and each of Genet's texts demonstrates different interactions between
such speculations and the representation of subjectivity. My emphasis on language
consciousness helps to elucidate tile structure of the prose text (narrative frames, for
example) and its relation to other genres (literary criticism and poetry, for example).
I conclude that in Genet's texts innovative language represents (and sometimes
fails to represent) plural subjectivity in complex ways. I argue that the interdependence
of these three aspects (language, representation and subjectivity) presents a new paradigm
for understanding Genet's texts. Furthermore, I outline in my conclusions how it is
possible to apply a comparative analysis of these aspects to other works such as Martin
Heidegger's Zur Seiqfrage (1955)
Necessities and Luxuries in Early-Modern Textile Consumption: Real Values of Worsted Says and Fine Woollens in the Sixteenth-Century Low Countries
No full textIf mankind’s three basic necessities have always been food, clothing, and shelter, whose production, trade, and consumption have rightly been a primary focus of economists and economic historians for many generations, we may ask this vital question: how do they distinguish between necessities and luxury products? Indeed, any examination of later-medieval, early-modern commodity prices soon reveals that for all three of these basic categories there was a seamless continuum from the very cheapest to the most expensive goods sold on the market, so that making clear cut divisions becomes virtually impossible. How, when, where, and why did the consumption of food and drink, for example, shift from being a basic necessity to ensure survival to become a luxury that enhances and enriches the quality of life? Obviously the very same considerations apply also to clothing. For many people, if only for a much smaller segment of the population, chiefly to be found in the aristocracy, the higher clergy, and wealthy bourgeoisie, clothing has also served and still serves other wants, in terms of luxury consumption: for decoration and for the assertion of personal values, and especially of one’s social status. Indeed, for such people, luxury textiles may have been deemed as personal ‘necessities’. This study is based upon two statistical tables, for the southern Low Countries, in the early to mid-sixteenth century, which, together permit us to make such a valid contrast between the nature, forms, and relative values of two major types of textiles. Representing ‘necessities’ in clothing are light-weight, coarse, relatively cheap worsted-type says (from the leading producer, Hondschoote, in Flanders); and representing ‘luxuries’ are the heavy-weight, very fine, and very costly woollen broadcloths from Ghent (dickedinnen) in the county of Flanders and Mechelen (Rooslaken) in the neighbouring duchy of Brabant. Table 1 provides the technical features of the composition of the cloths, the type of wools used, warp-counts, the dimensions, and weights, and finally the weight per square metre in grams. The luxury woollen broadcloths in Table 2 were all made uniquely from the finest English wools, then the world’s best; but Table 1 also provides, for comparison, a fine but cheaper woollen (from Armentières) made from a mixture of Spanish merino and English wools. The other textiles in Tables 1 are worsteds and semi-worsted says from several towns in sixteenth-century Flanders (including Hondschoote) and England. Table 2 presents the prices, in pounds groot Flemish for two types of Hondschoote says, and for the luxury woollens of Ghent and Mechelen for the decade 1535 - 1544. Two measures have been adopted in order to calculate the ‘real values’ of these textiles: (1) a comparison of the prices (nominal money-of-account values) of these textiles with the value of a ‘basket of consumables’, the one used to compute the Van der Wee Consumer Price Index for Brabant (Antwerp region); and (2) the purchasing power of wages: i.e., the number of days’ wages that a master mason in Antwerp would have had to spend to acquire each one of these textiles; and more particularly to buy 12 square metres of cloth, for a man’s annual clothing requirement. In terms of the latter measure, the average number of days’ wages required to purchase that same quantity of cloth would have been: 13.725 days for a Hondschoote single say; 16.958 days for a Hondschoote double say; and 5.4 times as many days, 91.413 for a Ghent dickedinnen, and 74.144 days for a Mechelen Rooslaken. That is certainly a much greater gulf in values that would be found today between every-day clothing and luxury apparel, for men at least. Consider that in Toronto, in July 2008, a journeymen carpenter earns a minimum of 24,184 CAD (about € 15,115) and would never spend even 10 percent of that on clothing.luxuries, necessities, clothing, wools, woollen broadcloths, worsteds, says, serges, Flanders, Brabant, Antwerp, Hondschoote, masons, wages.
The COMPASS experiment at CERN
No full textAbbon P, Albrecht E, Alexakhin VY, et al. The COMPASS experiment at CERN. Nucl.Instrum.Meth. A. 2007;577(3):455-518.The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensity muon and hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarised target inside a superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a RICH counter and both hadron and electromagnetic calorimeters. The setup has been successfully operated from 2002 onwards using a muon beam. Data with a hadron beam were also collected in 2004. This article describes the main features and performances of the spectrometer in 2004; a short summary of the 2006 upgrade is also given.
