    Les JNF et le droit international public

    No full text
    Le « jeton non-fongible » ou JNF est un outil numérique qui s'inscrit dans la technologie blockchain - ou « chaîne de blocs », celle-ci étant un registre numérique et décentralisé de stockage de données et de transmission d'information : on parle à ce propos de « base de données distribuées ». La difficile qualification juridique des JNF est bien illustrée par la définition sibylline qui en est faite dans le Rapport de la mission sur les JNF du Conseil supérieur de la propriété littéraire et artistique, qui les présente à la fois comme des biens meubles incorporels et des titres représentant des actifs sous-jacents. La difficile assimilation des JNF aux actifs numériques est mise en évidence par les pratiques normative récentes des organisations intergouvernementales relatives à la réglementation des crypto-actifs, ou à la lutte contre le blanchiment d'argent et le financement du terrorisme. En revanche, l'assimilation du JNF à son actif sous-jacent trouve un écho pratique notamment illustré par l'actualité récente relative au retour des biens culturels soustraits pendant la période coloniale. Dans cette disposition, les JNF catalysent davantage qu'ils ne renouvellent des problématiques juridiques déjà existantes et illustre leur utilité pratique

    KKL-JNF sob a ótica da ecologia política: controle territorial no conflito Israel-Palestina

    Full text link
    O presente artigo analisa a atuação do Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) sob a perspectiva da ecologia política, focando em como suas políticas ambientais e fundiárias impactam o conflito Israel-Palestina. Fundado em 1901, o KKL-JNF desempenha um papel central no projeto sionista, promovendo a compra de terras e o reflorestamento como estratégias de desenvolvimento sustentável e controle territorial. As ações do KKL-JNF são criticadas por fortalecer o controle territorial israelense e pela expropriação de terras palestinas, mascarando essas ações sob um discurso de sustentabilidade. O artigo examina essas críticas e os impactos sociais, destacando a importância de considerar as dimensões políticas e sociais da conservação ambiental em contextos de conflito. A análise histórica do KKL-JNF revela sua missão original de "redenção da terra" e sua expansão em territórios ocupados após 1967. Críticos como Masalha (2012), Leff (2021), e Sharif (2014) argumentam que o reflorestamento promovido pelo KKL-JNF serve como uma ferramenta de controle territorial e exclusão, exemplificando o "greenwashing" e a instrumentalização ambiental para fins políticos. O artigo conclui que as práticas do KKL-JNF refletem e reforçam relações de poder, contribuindo para a exclusão e deslocamento de populações palestinas. A abordagem da ecologia política permite entender o KKL-JNF como uma entidade que instrumentaliza a sustentabilidade para consolidar a soberania israelense em áreas disputadas

    JNF-KKL Parachutists Series Stamps

    Full text link
    Seven black and white stamps, six of men, one of a woman Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: Series commemorating the group of Jewish volunteers from Palestine who gave their lives on missions sponsored by the British S.O.E. into Nazi- occupied Europe between 1943 and 1945. Of the 37 chosen, seven either died in captivity or were executed. Hannah Szenes, perhaps the best-known of the parachutists, was seized in Hungary, imprisoned and tortured, but refused to reveal the details of her mission. She was tried and executed in Budapest on November 7, 1944. She was 23 years old, a poet and songwriter whose songs are still sung in Israel today. The names of the parachutists with their portraits on the JNF labels are: Zvi Ben Yaakov, Abba Berdichev, Perec Goldstein, Hannah Szenes, Enzo Sereni, Rafael Reisz, and Haviva Reik.https://digital.kenyon.edu/bulmash/2772/thumbnail.jp

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
