In January 2014, the French tabloid Closer did publish on the front page some pictures linked to a presumed love affair involving Francois Hollande and actress Julie Gayet. This article, based on the accounts of journalists and newspapers editors, aims to study the different moments of this small political crisis. How the scoop about Valerie Trierweiler's hospitalization was the main turning point of the media coverage. And how, from this moment, the presumed presidential adultery has been seen as a political event and not as a private one. At the end of the crisis, the presidential sexuality even became a legitimate topic of the political comments. Then the article examines on one hand some previous situations (for example the publication of rumors about Segolene Royal and Francois Hollande during the presidential campaign of 2006-2007) and on the other hand the possible consequences of the politicization of the political leaders sexuality.

In France, The DSK affair is like an earthquake. It is the first arrestation of a first rank politician for a sexual crime. And the more to come (Dominique Strauss-Kahn was supposed to be the (future) socialist candidate at the April 22d and May 6th french presidential election). The affair itself frontally opposes a white, powerful and rich man, to a black and poor woman. It takes place in the american society whose values are supposed to be far away from french ones about sexuality and gender relationships. So studying french medias from the very beginning of the Sofitel affair to the last developments of the Carlton affair allows to study french representations of rape, harassement, consent and seduction. This paper is grounded more particurly on three mediatic schemes (newsmagazines and newspapers ; gossip and women's magazines ; satirical shows) and its analysis is also built upon interviews with journalists and editors-in-chief. Its principal assumption is the difficulty for a lot of medias to openly speak of rape or harassement to qualify past and present Strauss-Kahn's suspected actions. And it tries to explain these difficulties by the economic requirements, the journalists' socialisation and knowledge about gender and race studies. Adapted from the source document.

This article has a double purpose. First of all, it analyses Skinner's definition of liberty. It focuses on distinction between "neo-roman liberty" and "gothic liberty". Three historical and ideological moments are particularly highlighted: italian pre-humanism, florentian humanism, and "Glorious Revolution", as well as the last Skinner's books. Secondly, the article studies Skinner's methodology, and more particularly stresses on his analytical philosophy inspiration. Adapted from the source document.

In the mid-1960s, structuralism (or at least texts labeled as such) was at once a theory widely acclaimed by intellectuals & the educated public, & a movement associated with the political avant-garde. But it appears that the texts of the "founding fathers" of structuralism (Jakobson, Lacan, Levi-Strauss) are apolitical, if only by contrast with the life & works of Jean-Paul Sartre. How did politics come to permeate structuralism? After retracing the socio-political context of the process, this article pinpoints "handholds" for this politicization in the writings & careers of those "founding fathers." It then proceeds to examine how the reception of Althusser & Barthes' works in particular led to this reinterpretation of structuralism. Adapted from the source document.
