This liber amicorum celebrates the 75th birthday of Michael E. Schneider, a leading - indeed, iconic - figure in the field of international dispute resolution and co-founder of the world-renowned law firm LALIVE. Michael's creativity and dedication as counsel, as arbitrator, as academic, and as leader in numerous arbitral institutions and associations have inspired, and continue to inspire, arbitration practitioners from all around the world. The book is essentially a collection of 'war stories' written by practitioners who have worked with him or witnessed him in action at close range. Their aim is to share experiences and solutions found to challenging situations in practice, in particular in the context of arbitration hearings. The essays highlight Michael's boundless energy, creative thinking, and questioning of conventional ideas as we see him (for example) defusing unusual incidents before they grow unmanageable, dealing with counsel X's delay tactics, and masterfully restoring reasonable balance and symmetry in the hearing room. There are valuable lessons here too about cross-examination methods and time management in arbitrating cases involving construction, industrial engineering and infrastructure projects, investment and other disputes involving states, natural resources (particularly oil and gas), environment, telecommunications, joint ventures, and more. Michael's expertise in managing large and complex disputes and leading teams of specialists, including lawyers, from various fields and cultural backgrounds, shines forth as well

The work of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has emerged as one of the most substantial and innovative bodies of theory and research in contemporary social science. Le métier de sociologue, both a textbook and an original contribution to epistemology in social science, focuses on a basic problem of sociological research: the necessity of an epistemological break with the preconstructed objects social practice offers to the researcher. Pierre Bourdieu and his co-authors argue in the epistemological tradition of scholars like Bachelard, Canguilhem, Koyré, a tradition that identifies the co

This book outlines the trajectory from Paul Ricœur's The Symbolism of Evil to his writings devoted to psychoanalysis, the common thread being the residue left by the subject of evil, which guided Ricœur to Freud. This book is a collection following two Fonds Ricœur summer workshops co-organized with the Society for Ricœur Studies at the Ricœur Archive in Paris. It is a groundbreaking work for those interested in Ricœur, Freud and religion.

LANGSCAPE is a plurilingual and multicultural international research network on language acquisition and language education. The current research focus is on Identity Construction in Language Education. This volume summarizes some research results of the last four years by presenting empirical research projects as well as theoretical concepts. The contributions all deal with topics linked to plurilingualism or to certain aspects of the concept of multiliteracies like globalization, language policy, multiculturalism, multimodal communication processes, intercultural learning etc. The authors co

The book illustrates the results of research that emerged within the context of a specific European Union programme. The analysis was carried out by Italian, French and Spanish academics co-ordinated by the Inter-University Centre of Political Sociology of the University of Florence. It aims to reconstruct the educational careers of the new generations within the social and economic context of Southern Europe, paying particular attention to the conditions of university students and to youth unemployment. The issue is examined and discussed also in relation to a broader sociological meditation on the values shaping the future of the political culture in contemporary Europe

"In Identité et Altérité dans les 'histoires anglaises' au XVIIIe siècle : co(n)texte, reception et discours, Beatrijs Vanacker offers new insights into the widespread Anglomania-movement that pervaded French literary and cultural life during the 18th century. She examines the ambivalent discourse on literary and cultural 'Englishness' as it took form in a wide array of non-fictional textual practices (French travel literature, literary journals ...). She also analyses the sociocultural and literary dynamics at work in a corpus of histoires anglaises, by making use of concepts drawn from the fields of discourse analysis and imagology"--Provided by publisher

Reason is not the monopoly of any particular group or culture. It is a universal human quality. Nevertheless, it should be recognised that reason manifests itself differently from one culture to another. Do we therefore admit that these forms are distinctly plural or should we, on the contrary, recognise the possibility of a meeting and, if need be, of an ordered confrontation that would guarantee, beyond this obvious diversity, a unity of human reason? This book with contributions in both English and French is the result of a debate on this question, during a conference co-organised by UNESCO

This book highlights the importance of Pan-Africanism in view of reasserting its pivotal role in the economic integration of the continent. For Africans to co-exist and aspire to a much needed dynamic and social community, there is need for a common understanding of their shared histories and projects. The contributions analyse regional identities that derive from an observed syncretism between traditional culture, Islamic religion and modernity. The example of interregional relations is tangible proof of the difficult negotiation of imposed international axiological constraints. From this perspective, the new partnership between the North and the South ought to be the responsibility of all and sundry, in which social or state actors are capable of communicating and putting forward their various rationalities for discussion. In this way, the South-South dialectic will find its place: regionalisation will as such promote solidarity between peoples and the reinvention of great democratic values.

"Christophe Premat is a senior lecturer in cultural studies in the Department of Romance Studies and Classics at Stockholm University and Co-Editor-In-Chief for the Nordic Journal of Francophone Studies, https://franorfon.org.
The book studies the genesis of the institutions of the Francophonie at the time of independence of African countries in the sixties. Based on geopolitical analysis and postcolonial theories, the author reassesses the position of France which officially distanced itself from this multilateral organization. France controlled more and more the organization in the 1980s when the organization increased its political expression on international issues. By confronting the spirit of the structures with the actors of the Francophonie, the work reflects on the challenges and the difficulty to define the specific fields of action of this organization. Furthermore, the book proposes a critical analysis of the francophone discourse based on the ideology that makes the French language an instrument containing values and norms."

Throughout the history of all civilizations at least until very recently, the most fundamental values at the basis of societal organization and culture were determined and sanctified almost exclusively by men - including the values traditionally associated with women, such as corporeal beauty, purity, motherhood, or empathy. However, from the ancient times already, and increasingly toward the end of the second millennium, women have always found ways to overcome the limits set to them by the ...

The volume deals with the juridical and institutional framework of athletic and artistic games from archaic Greece to late antique Rome. The agones' rules and regulations, the funding by public contributions and wealthy private sponsors were approached as well as the athletes' training and prizes and privileges, which determined the athletes'—and especially the winner's— social status. Moreover attention was drawn onto the end of the classical Greek agones from a Roman perspective.The Second Vienna Colloquium on Ancient Legal History addressed the juridical and institutional framework of athletic and artistic games in classical antiquity. The chronological frame ranged from Archaic times to Late Antiquity (8th cent. BCE – 6th cent. CE). The symposium covered three main areas of interest. Firstly, the agones' rules and regulations, the funding by public contributions and wealthy private sponsors as well as the athletes' training were approached. Prizes and privileges, which determined the athletes'—and especially the winner's— social status and were thus crucial to the agones' appeal, were then attended to by several papers. In contrast to the conditions under the Imperium Romanum, where the emperor enforced nation-wide regulations, the "politics of sports" followed different rules in the small-scaled world of the classical Greek poleis. Thus, differences in the conception of sports between Greeks and Romans were traced and exemplarily demonstrated on the basis of the gladiatorial games. Lastly, attention was drawn onto the end of the classical Greek agones from a Roman perspective. The now Christian empire couldn't tolerate the pagan agones anymore and instead developed new forms of athletic competitions and public entertainment: late antique circus games and chariot races. - Der Band widmet sich den rechtlichen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen athletischer und künstlerischer Wettkämpfe vom archaischen Griechenland bis in das spätantike Rom. Das Regelwerk der agone, die Finanzierung durch öffentliche Förderungen und reiche Privatsponsoren wurden ebenso angesprochen wie das Training der Athleten und Siegespreise und Privilegien, die den sozialen Status der Athleten, im Besonderen der Sieger, determinierten. Darüber hinaus wurde die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Ende der klassischen griechischen agone aus römischer Perspektive gelenkt.Der vorliegende Band des zweiten Wiener Kolloquium zur Antiken Rechtsgeschichte widmet sich den rechtlichen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen der sportlichen und musischen Wettkämpfe des klassischen Altertums. Der zeitliche Rahmen erstreckt sich von der Archaik bis in die Spätantike (8. Jh. v.Chr. – 6. Jh. n.Chr.). Das Regelwerk der Agone, ihre Finanzierung sowohl aus öffentlichen Mitteln wie auch aus privaten Zuwendungen vermögender Sponsoren und die Ausbildung der Sportler bilden den ersten Schwerpunkt. Siegespreise und Privilegien, die den sozialen Status von Sportlern und insbesondere Wettkampfsiegern bestimmten und für die Attraktivität der Agone ausschlaggebend waren, stehen im Mittelpunkt weiterer Beiträge. Derartige Fragen waren stets Gegenstand einer "Sportpolitik", die unter den kleinräumigen Gegebenheiten der klassischen griechischen Stadtstaaten anderen Spielregeln folgte als etwa im Imperium Romanum, wo der Kaiser versuchte uniforme, reichsweite Bestimmungen durchzusetzen. Unterschiede im Konzept von Sport und Wettkampf bei Griechen und Römern werden aufgespürt und unter anderem anhand der Gladiatorenspiele als einem spezifisch römischem Sonderfall illustriert. Ein weiterer Aspekt ist der Blick auf das Ende der klassischen griechischen Agonistik aus der römischen Perspektive: Das christlich gewordene Kaisertum duldete die heidnischen Agone nicht mehr, entwickelte aber gleichzeitig mit den spätantiken Zirkusspielen und ihren Wagenrennen und Tierhatzen neue Formen des Wettkampfs und der Volksbelustigung.

What is the meaning of race, racialization and racism in Switzerland and how are they related to Switzerland's colonial heritage? How has the approach to racism changed historically? What role does anti-racist activism play, especially activism by black people and people of color? By discussing such questions, the volume shows how racism is ingrained in the structures of modern societies.
As the articles show, structural and everyday racism can also be found in Switzerland in various areas of society. On the one hand, this volume offers concepts and approaches to understand processes and mechanisms of racialization. The book thus creates the basis for a critical scientific reflection on racism and the use of the analytical category race in Switzerland.
