Draws on Marcel Gauchet's (2000) account of the deification of human rights to discuss the evolution of the human rights ideology that emerged when religion declined as an integral part of the political framework following the religious wars. Human rights were not central during the first phase of modernity; however, notions of a concrete individual emerged in the latter 20th century, & progressed through the personalization of mass consumption, the procedural neutralization of law, subjective representations of the informational society, & diminishment of the political & sociohistorical. Human rights replaced old ideologies in the 1970s, permitting direct action without worrisome theories, & complementing left-wing radicalism & global capitalism. Two important factors overlooked by Gauchet are discussed: economic overdetermination of the process of modern autonomization & the geopolitical dimension of the actual use of human rights. It is concluded that contradictions present in the rehistorization of human rights are founded on two conflicting orthodoxies: the individualist & universalist natural law inspired by Christian metaphysics; & the European tradition of collective freedoms/individual free-choice faced with absolute or illegitimate powers.

Abstract
There is a well-established literature that finds a strong causal association between remittance flows and economic growth and poverty. Owing to the poverty-alleviating and income-generating effects of remittances, it may theoretically reduce crime by increasing the opportunity cost of committing crime. This paper studies the effects of remittance receipts on crime outcomes in India. The identification strategy, exploits the variation in rainfall as an instrument for remittance receipts. The results suggest that remittance receipts have a negative effect on violent crimes and a positive effect on nonviolent crimes. Since remittance flows mean that more economic resources are available, remittances provide an incentive for certain crimes that thrive in the presence of economic resources. Therefore, an important implication of this result is that as remittance receipts increase income and welfare, there is a diverse effect on the costs and benefits of different types of crimes. It may result in unfavorable outcomes in the form of increases in certain nonviolent crimes.

This is the second output of Alias Domains, a research collaboration with co-investigator Sukaina Kubba (sukaina.kubba@daniels.utoronto.ca). This was a radio production commissioned by Radiophrenia/CCA as a main feature of the Live To Air Festival and co-funded by Canada Council for The Arts. This consisted of a series of live radio performances and a recording, applying aspects of our research to current thinking around identity by exploring poet-philosopher Édouard Glissant' s alternative: relation. The format of the event evoked Glissant's multifaceted sensibility by combining choreographed readings, sound and music to invoke responses and discussions around the politics of identity and social class amongst fellow contributors and wider audiences.

It is increasingly accepted that the chief purchasing officer (CPO), as the highest ranking member of the purchasing and supply management (PSM) function, is a resource that can add strategic value to the firm. Delineating the organizational and human capital factors that determine CPO compensation packages can help firms maintain their competitive advantage by attracting and retaining talent in this position. Although an extensive literature base examines executive compensation, such research at levels below the CEO is sparse. Based on the rich literature discussing executive compensation as well as a survey of Fortune 500 CPOs, examines the influence of organizational and human capital on CPO compensation from a resource‐based view of the firm. The organizational capital characteristics of annual sales, purchases as a percent of sales, and the number of reporting levels between the CPO and CEO were found to influence CPO compensation significantly. Somewhat surprisingly, CPO age was the only human capital factor of those tested (years in PSM, education level, CPM certifications) that significantly influenced compensation.
