International audience ; Semiological analysis helps to construct a theory of mechanisms by which sports champions are celebrated. The study of correlations between "heroism" and "performance" in marks of 21 champions given by "L'Equipe" readers, shows for narrative organisation: - the champion facing adversity - the champion unfairness - the account of the hero's quest - the champion who shed his blood to become greater.In any case, it is not the result, but the way of winning or losing which makes a hero.

About a quarter of the population of Europe is now of pensionable age. Facilities for caring for very old or disabled people differ throughout Europe in scope and means of funding, and the countries of the European Union are far from equity in the status of pensioners. Health expectations have increased in older people--most of the calculated gain in life expectancy is likely to be without disability. Most countries now have specialist geriatric medicine facilities, and international research programmes are under way.

IN THE ONGOING DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER RADICAL DEMOCRACY SHOULD REPLACE SOCIALISM AS THE GOVERNING LOGIC OF THE LEFT, THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES DEFINATIONS OF ACTIVISM IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT. IT NOTES THAT RECENT HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT THE CONCEPT OF DEMOCRACY CAN NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED ON PURELY NATIONAL TERMS. IT IS ARGUED THAT MUCH OF THE CURRENT DISCUSSION DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE APORIA BETWEEN A VISION OF THE LEFT IN THE US AND A VISION OF THE LEFT IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT.

THE KEY PROLIFERATION ISSUE FOR AMERICA AND EUROPE IS NOT HOW TO STOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND MISSILE PROLIFERATION; PROLIFERATION IS ALL BUT INEVITABLE. THE ISSUE, RATHER, IS HOW TO CRAFT AN APPROPRIATE SECURITY POSTURE THAT WILL PROTECT BOTH CONTINENTS ADEQUATELY AS NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION BECOMES A FACT. THIS ARTICLE ATTEMPTS TO DETERMINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF PROLIFERATION AND THEN HOW TO RESPOND TO IT. IT ARGUES THAT AS INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IMPROVES MANY COUNTRIES WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE DECIDING TO USE THEIR NUCLEAR MIGHT.

Es werden die Entwicklung der frauenpolitischen Bestrebungen der DDR bis zum Mauerbau und die zunehmend diskriminierenden Tendenzen der 60er und 70er Jahre sowie die ersten feministischen Gruppierungen der 80er Jahre untersucht. Ab 1960 und verstärkt in den 70er Jahren führte - bedingt durch den anwachsenden internationalen Leistungsdruck in der Wirtschaft - die fortschreitende Verlagerung von Betriebsversammlungen in den Freizeitbereich und die Bevorzugung von Männern bei der Besetzung von Führungspositionen zum Abbau einstiger frauenpolitischer Errungenschaften, wie Frauenförderung, Haushaltstag, flächendeckende Kindereinrichtungen, Arbeitszeitverkürzung für Mütter und das bezahlte Babyjahr. Frauendiskriminierung wurde begleitet von ausländerfeindlichen Haltungen, sodaß im Verlauf der 80er Jahre Frauengruppen Kontakte zu westlichen Feministinnen suchten, um den frauenfeindlichen Charakter der SED-Herrschaft anzuprangern. Die repressive Haltung gegenüber feministischen Anliegen wurde begleitet vom Auflösungsprozeß der DDR-Gesellschaft. (ICB)
