Masculinity has long been Russian President Vladimir Putin's calling card. At the center of Putin's macho aura is his image as a tough leader who will not allow Western countries to weaken Russia or dictate what Russia's domestic and foreign policies should look like. This article draws attention to the role of masculinity in the Putin regime's legitimation strategy, and how it became more obvious during the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine in 2014 and the Russian annexation of Crimea. To the extent that there is a "personality cult" in contemporary Russia, the personality at the center of it is defined in highly gendered terms, shaping the tenor of both domestic and foreign policy.

Discussed is public reaction to the unconventional sects that have periodically emerged in US history. Reaction has often been characterized by extreme hostility, distrust, & the perception that US ideals are threatened. Typically, sects have been challenged by a countersubversive campaign to legitimate religious persecution & mobilize PO. The countersubversive effect is demonstrated in the current agitation against cults, which resembles nineteenth-century agitation against Masons, Mormons, & Catholics. In the stereotyping process, countersubversives tend toward the same intolerant & authoritarian behavior they fear in target sects. Modified HA.

Dès la première moitié du XIXe siècle, un véritable culte s'instaure autour de la figure de Simon Bolivar, héros de l'indépendance des peuples américains. Vers la fin du XXe siècle, lors de l'arrivée de Hugo Chavez dans la scène politique vénézuélienne, le culte a pris une nouvelle dimension. Dans ce travail nous abordions le culte en deux temps. Dans un première temps, nous verrons comment ce culte s'est construit autour de trois éléments : la gloire politique et militaire, l'épée et le corps du Libertador. Ensuite, nous analyserons comment ces trois éléments ont été repris et appropriés par le chavisme menant le culte et le héros à son paroxysme. La partie théorique est rédigée en espagnol, la partie pédagogique en français.
