Dans cet essai on trace le profil de la camorra napolitaine du XIXe siècle en comparant les acquisitions de la recherche historique avec les lectures sociologiques fonctionnalistes qui soulignent la nature sous-culturelle du phénomène et ses fonctions d'ordre (analogies avec le «bandit social»; médiations fiduciaires sur les marchés). Les sources historiques, au contraire, présentent un phénomène plutôt désordonné, tout proche de la petite délinquence et spécialisé dans l'extorsion parasitaire. On utilise surtout les riches sources de police des années 1860, qui montrent une élite criminelle, à l'œuvre dans les prisons, les quartiers et les marchés, mais ouverte aux networks sociaux aussi vers le haut; les notions d'ordre, de pouvoir, de culture sont ainsi désagrégées. On discute de la genèse post-
(v. au verso) napoléonienne de la camorra par rapport à la récente réforme de la police et pourtant aux difficultés du premier État administratif de fonctionner sur le territoire urbain et de discipliner les pouvoirs plébéiens de la capitale.Marmo Marcella.

Omnichannelling: Key to establishing circularity in the fashion industry
No full textOmnichannelling – Key to establishing circularity in fashion retail
There is consensus in the fashion industry that a circular approach will lead to greater sustainability
and that retail has a critical role in mainstreaming sustainability (Bostrom & Micheletti, 2016; Lehner
2015). This approach aims to be good for business, society and the environment. Circularity for the
fashion industry has been described as the continuous cycling of products, including waste reduction,
efficient use of resources, and helping customers do so too. For retailers, this highlights a shift from
being product suppliers to service providers; for customers, a change from ownership to access
through product-service systems and therefore increased interaction with retailers (CE100, 2018;
Overdeik et al., 2020).
Since the rise of ecommerce, customers have increasingly interacted with retailers through a variety
of channels becoming cocreators of the retail service. These digital customers expect flexibility to
find and buy the product or service they want from any location supported by a seamless shopping
experience through integrated channels to enhance their total shopping experience (Saghiri, et al.
2017; Blumenstein et al., 2020; Quartier & Vanrie, 2017). This has given rise to what is known
today as the ‘liquid customer’ (Maccan, 2016). In recent years, technology has empowered liquid
customers to make retailers more accountable, customers have begun pushing them to be more
transparent about their sustainability efforts. With clothing becoming the most purchased product
online the sustainability challenges surrounding this sector have also gained momentum.
Retailers have responded to increasing digital adoption by taking on the customer centric approaches
including omnichannelling which allows customers to move seamlessly across all available channels
on the purchase journey whilst continually cocreating with retailers in a dynamic retailing market
(Blumenstein et al., 2020; Quartier & Vanrie, 2017). Similarly, the service economy relies on
technology to gain insights on customers and inventory in real-time in a constant feedback loop.
Technology is increasingly supporting interaction between customers and retailers, customers and
products to create holistic customer experiences and services. Customers are empowered through
their ability for greater customisation and therefore, personalisation of the retail servicescape.
Thus, there is potential for omnichannelling to drive circularity, therefore the synergies between
omnichannelling and circularity need to be explored. Both omnichannelling and the service economy
are reliant on technology to gain insights on customers and inventory in real-time, in a constant
feedback loop. For these reasons, a circular approach for the fashion industry needs to be supported
by the dynamic capabilities of omnichannelling to respond to increased interactions between
customers and retailers during and after use phase of products. In a circular approach, there are
more engagements between retailers and customers in the use phase of products through
sharing/renting and maintaining/repairing/upgrading and in the post use phase through recycling,
reselling or donating (CE100, 2018). To date, studies relating to omnichannelling have not addressed
circularity or sustainability, whilst studies about circularity in retail do not sufficiently address their
dependence on channels and how various touchpoints can drive circularity adoption amongst
customers.
In terms of circularity, the main barriers to mainstreaming it in the fashion industry have been
identified in both the retailer and customer domain. Retailers are averse to the complex web of
logistics required to scale circularity. Customers, although generally favouring fashion retailers
moving towards sustainability, still have negative connotations to words such as recycled, upcycled,
repaired and refurbished as well as the effort associated with these activities (BOF & McKinsey &
Company, 2020; CE100, 2018). The paper therefore will elaborate on:
What do retailers need to consider in their Omnichannel framework to support customer adoption of
circularity?
This paper aims to develop a framework to visualise the connections between omnichannelling and
circularity. The paper will build on two important frameworks: the three-dimensional framework for
omnichannel systems developed by Saghiri et al. (2017) which highlights what omnichannelling
consists of ie. channel stage, channel type and channel agent and developments to this framework
in, the sensing framework by Blumstein et al. (2020) which highlights how retailers can develop
omnichannelling capabilities by developing dynamic sensing capabilities that enable responsiveness
to dynamic market changes inherent in retailing operations. The first phase of the study will
investigate the applicability of the aforementioned seminal research for fashion retailing and
consolidate this into a proposed omnichannelling framework for fashion retailing. The second phase
will develop the consolidated framework to identify and highlight connections between
omnichannelling and circularity, emphasising those connections that can support customer adoption
of circularity.
The article will be built on a literature review to reveal themes to validate the frameworks and
highlight the critical connections between omnichannelling and circularity that fashion retailers
should focus on to engage customers in circularity.
The study will contribute to the development of literature on omnichannel systems that support
circularity in fashion retailing. It may also suggest new ways retailers should engage with customers
in an increasingly digitised society in a constant state of flux and needing to respond to sustainability
challenges. Finding synergies between omnichannelling and circularity ultimately assists retailers to
engage with circular thinking, find new ways of generating value through product systems services
and reduce resource costs.

De King’s Cross à St Pancras, le nouveau quartier de l’Eurostar : géopolitique de 30 ans de conflits
No full textSitué au centre de Londres, le quartier de King’s Cross-St. Pancras est au cœur d’un vaste projet d’aménagement lié à la présence d’une friche industrielle de 54 hectares et de deux gares, King’s Cross et St. Pancras, cette dernière accueillant depuis 2007 le nouveau terminal Eurostar. Si King’s Cross est aujourd’hui un quartier moderne, bien desservi et très prisé par les cadres londoniens, à la fin des années 1990 il fait face à de multiples problèmes sociaux. L’opération de gentrification est aujourd’hui bien avancée. Elle a pourtant fait l’objet de nombreux débats entre l’État (à l’origine du projet), les collectivités locales et une population locale hostile au projet du gouvernement. L’opposition entre les différents acteurs et la crise économique du milieu des années 1990 ont retardé le début de la régénération. Au final, il aura fallu plus de trente ans, trois Premiers ministres, les plus grands architectes pour que le quartier, jadis lieu de « transit » à la fin du xixe siècle, puis lieu de « trafic » à la fin du xxe, devienne aujourd’hui une « destination »

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
