    O — Emmanuelle — Catherine M. Three female voices on sex In the article the author analyses three literary texts — French erotic novels translated into Polish, which were written by women. They encompass: Pauline Reage’s Histoire d’O, Emmanuelle Arsan’s Emmanuelle, and the autobiography of Catherine Millet Sex Life of Catherine M. These novels represent three styles of talking about sex; namely, silence — d’O erotic metaphor, picturesequeness — Emmanuelle and talking directly — Catherine M. The authors named the sexual act and the parts of body connected with it drawing abundantly from the general repertoire of sexualisms and choosing consistently according to their life philosophy. Thus, they created their personal way of talking about sex. In the analysed instances sexual idiolect as “a code of an individual speaker” reveals the philosophy of life of the conspicuous, female characters.O — Emmanuelle — Catherine M.

    Is the cooperative ownership structure a factor of efficiency in banking firms ? Some economists, especially American, consider that cooperative banks operate inefficiently, and that they will disappear. Using the same analysis than these authors, we try, in this paper, to explain the good performances of cooperative banks in France, comparing to stock banks. The relevant criterion which allows to set apart cooperative banks from stock banks is the ownership structure, and not the existence of a common bond. We then develop the consequences of the cooperative ownership structure of financial institutions. Cooperative banks appear to be able to compete efficiently with stock banks, even if the aim of the organisation is not the maximisation of the profitability for the capital owners. JEL classifications : G21, L2La littérature retient deux critères de différenciation entre le statut bancaire de coopérative ou de SA : la notion d’intérêt commun et la structure de propriété. Le premier semble mal adapté aux coopératives françaises, car leur taille et leur champ d’activité n’ont pas été contraints par l’existence d’un intérêt commun aux sociétaires, et parce qu’elles se situent sur un marché très concurrentiel et peu segmenté. Le deuxième semble prééminent. Dans une coopérative bancaire, la structure des droits de propriété va déterminer un profil d’organisation qui influencera l’efficacité. Les banques coopératives sont donc capables de soutenir la concurrence avec les banques SA, tout en ayant d’autres objectifs que la maximisation du profit. La concurrence les oblige à fonctionner efficacement sur le long terme, sans être contraintes à court terme par la nécessité de créer de la valeur.
