This is not a paper...
No full textInvité en tant qu’écrivain, Kojo Laing a explicitement choisi de ne pas traiter le sujet qui avait été inscrit provisoirement sur le programme, « Thresholds of Reality », tout en déclarant : «T hresholds of reality broadly mean the worlds that I work in ». C’est donc en se tenant en quelque sorte au seuil des « seuils critiques » de ce colloque qu’il a pris la parole. Voici quelques extraits de ce que Kojo Laing a appelé « my non-paper », que l'on pourrait peut-être traduire ici par « ceci n’est pas un article... ».Laing Bernard Kojo. This is not a paper....

Introduction: The War on Drugs and the global colour line
No full textThis book argues for how the 50-year War on Drugs has contributed to structural racial violence and oppressions across the globe. Contributors from a variety of countries will be drawing on empirical, theoretical and philosophical resources in order to illustrate how the drug war was both informed by and helped to perpetuate racialised divisions amongst the peoples of the world. Starting from an emphasis on the contradiction between the neutral, objective language of the drug prohibition treaties and the geographical and racial asymmetry in the violence that has been endured in the project of drug prohibition, this book will offer an original argument of reading the War on Drugs as a mechanism of continuing racial division across the world. Coinciding with the victories of Civil Rights and Decolonisation, which were supposed to erase the global colour line, the emergence of the War on Drugs has contributed to a renewal of these divisions in this ostensibly post-racial era
Teaching programming to young learners using Scala and Kojo
No full textThis paper presents an approach to teaching programming and abstract thinking to young learners using Scala and Kojo. Kojo is an open source IDE for the Scala programming language. The approach is based on Scala APIs for turtle graphics and functional pictures, a process of interactive exploration and discovery, and structured learning material that guides learners. The approach encourages playful self-learning of basic programming principles such as sequential execution, repetition, primitives, composition, abstraction, parametrized abstraction, and nested abstractions. It also includes tools to help children read and understand programs. Results from the use of Kojo and Scala in the teaching of young learners in Sweden and India are presented, along with a discussion of experiences and future development
The apotheosis of war in Colombia
No full textThis chapter draws on memoir, ethnography and philosophical anthropology to unpack the meaning of the war in Colombia, with a focus on the link between the impact that the encounter and "invention" of Amerindians by 16th century chroniclers had on the west's self-image and more recent attitudes concerning healing, limpieza and drugs. Unpacking the linkage between the War on Drugs, counter-insurgency anti-communism and structural violence against Afro-Colombians and Amerindian communities concerning land and resources, it will illuminate the echoes of the original colonisation of the Americas contained within the 20th century War on Drugs
Seuils et hybrides dans les romans de Kojo Laing
No full textIn the novels of the Ghanaian writer Kojo Laing, flying is advocated as a strategy to cross thresholds freely and avoid the traps inherent in the duality of the world depicted. Challenging rationality as well as gravity, giving free rein to fantasy and inventiveness, restoring the fluidity of exchanges, the novels promote the reconciliation of opposites. In its complexity, hybridity is shown as both the epitome of human experience and its ideal, a notion aptly illustrated by the highly idiosyncratic language of the novels.Gauffre Marie-Jeanne.

Sosiaalista suoritusestettä koskevan oikeusperiaatteen aseman kehitys erityisesti kuluttajaoikeudessa 1990- ja 2000-luvuilla
No full textIn this article, the position of the legal principle of social force majeure and its development during the 1990s and 2000s are examined in light of new special legislation and recent legal praxis. The article does not deal with the acceptability nor with the necessity of the principle. The doctrine of social force majeure examined and developed by Thomas Wilhelmsson has been used as the basis of the article without particular critique.
The expression of social force majeure is used as a collective term for the special rules on mitigation of sanctions when the debtor becomes incapable to perform due to unemployment, illness or other corresponding circumstance through no fault of his own. The doctrine of social force majeure has been seen to be in connection with the welfare state ideology adapted to private law and it is furthermore a good example of social private law put into action.
The conclusion of the article is that the principle of social force majeure has gained the position of a general legal principle in private law through numerous special provisions in the field of consumer law and the recent legal praxis of Finnish consumer authorities and the Supreme Court of Finland. Previously, the principle of social force majeure has been taken into consideration by the Supreme Court mainly with support of the general adjustment clause in Section 36 of the Contracts Act or of some other corresponding general adjustment clause or of a special legal provision. However, in its preliminary ruling 2003/71 concerning a rent for an apartment, the Supreme Court applied the principle of social force majeure independently but gave it only a limited relevance.Suomenkielinen tiivistelmä puuttuu
