The Atlanta Spa shooting evoked the Stop Asian Hate movement in the US. This study examines what primary topics were covered in Twitter discourse in #StopAsianHate and which phases of collective symbolic coping emerged from the perspective of social representations theory. 21,474 tweets in #StopAsianHate on Twitter in the first weeks from May to August were analyzed by topic modeling using MDCOR. The results of this research showed that the phases of awareness and divergence emerged in the discourse, while the phases of convergence and normalization remained unidentified. The knowledge generated in this research may contribute to identifying the main topics that appeared in #StopAsianHate on Twitter, and it may also inform the supporters of the Stop Asian Hate movement about the following actions.

Ottoman historiography dealing with slavery has been concentrated particularly on the later period of the Empire (19th-20th c.) and produced monographs of research and synthesis (B. Lewis 1971, 1990 ; E. Toledano 1982, 1997, 2007 ; H. Erdem 1996 ; M. Zilfi 2010).). For the early-modern period, there is a growing body of articles on localized aspects of the servile phenomenon. This dissertation's objective is to realize the first monograph on slavery in the Ottoman society of the so-called "classical" period in whatever language it may be. The main focus is on slavery in the private space as opposed to the more well-known and studied sultan's slaves and the military-administrative servitude (the "kul system"). Based essentially on archival documents of the Ottoman state, legal and juridical records, as well as literary texts, the dissertation tackles problems of juridical, social, economical, cultural history, as well as that of mentalities. Thus the research's main axes concern the legal doctrine of slavery as an institution and the implementation of law by the Ottoman authorities; the slave trade; various forms of slave labour; slavery in everyday life; the fate of manumitted slaves; but also the representations of slavery by the Ottoman elites (topic to which a third of the thesis is devoted). The geographical framework covers the "central provinces" (Rumelia, Istanbul, Anatolia), but the dissertation also includes micro-studies on Syria (Arab-speaking but inseparable from Anatolia), Egypt, Crimea, Caucasus and Kurdistan. ; L'historiographie ottomaniste traitant de la question de l'esclavage s'est surtout concentrée sur la période tardive de l'Empire (XIXe-XXe s.) produisant des livres de recherche et de synthèse (B. Lewis 1971, 1990 ; E. Toledano 1982, 1997, 2007 ; H. Erdem 1996 ; M. Zilfi 2010). Sur l'époque moderne, on dispose d'un corpus grandissant d'études portant sur des aspects ponctuels du phénomène servile. L'objectif de cette thèse est de réaliser la première monographie (en quelque langue que ce ...

Este artigo aborda criticamente algumas questões de natureza jurídica e política, necessariamente polémicas, colocadas pela integração de Portugal na UE e pela própria ação política desta União, com o objetivo de chamar a atenção para os aspetos que nos pareceram mais relevantesnos 40/30 anos da Constituição e da integração europeia. De entre estas questões assinalamos as seguintes: 1) perceção e modo de acolhimento da integração europeia na Constituição da República Portuguesa, 2) degradação do princípio de democrático e da representação política por força da intervenção da UE na política dos Estados-Membros ou o efeito de esvaziamento da na política interna dos Estados produzido pela ação da UE, 3) globalização, neoliberalismo e a crise poder democrático: produção do efeito de deslocação do locus do poder democrático e da erosão das relações da UE com os Estados-Membros, 4) a UE como espaço de ação dos mercados contra as pessoas. Pretende-se, assim, provocar o debate sobre estes relevantes problemas da integração da UE. ; This article critically approaches some issues of legal and political nature, necessarily controversial, raised by the Portuguese accession to the EU and the own political action of the Union, with the purpose to draw attention to the aspects that seem to be the most relevant in the 40/30 years milestone of the Constitution and the European integration. Amongst these issues I point out the followings: 1) perception and way of receiving the European integration by the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, 2) degradation of the democratic principle and of the political representation due to the intervention of the EU in the member states politics or the effect of empting the internal politics caused by the action of the EU, 3) globalisation, neoliberalism and the crisis of the democratic power: producing the effect of moving the locus of the democratic powerand the erosion in the relations of the EU with the member states, 4) the EU as a space of action of the market against people. I intend, then, to provoke the debate on these relevant problems of the EU integration.

Mit Urteil vom 3. Juli 2008 erteilte das Bundesverfassungsgericht dem Bundestag den Gesetzgebungsauftrag, die als grundgesetzwidrig erkannten negativen Stimmgewichte aus dem Bundeswahlgesetz zu entfernen. Der Aufsatz entwickelt eine neue Reparaturoption, die direktmandatsorientierte Proporzanpassung. Das Verfahren ist frei von den verfassungswidrigen negativen Stimmgewichten und erscheint als direkte Fortschreibung des alten Wahlsystems. Es ist eine mit der Personenwahl verbundene Verhältniswahl und es bewahrt das Zweistimmen-System. Es garantiert jedem Wahlkreissieger das Direktmandat und es gewährleistet einheitliche Erfolgswertgleichheit der Zweitstimmen im gesamten Wahlgebiet. ; In its decision of 3 July 2008 the German Federal Constitutional Court called upon the Bundestag to amend the Federal Election Act (Bundeswahlgesetz) in order to dispose of negative voting weights. The paper presents a novel repair option, the direct-seat oriented proportional fit. The procedure is devoid of negative voting weights and appears as a straightforward adaptation of the old electoral system. It is a proportional representation method combined with the election of persons and it retains the two-ballot system. It guarantees each plurality winner in a constituency a direct seat and it preserves equal success values of list votes (Zweitstimmen) throughout the whole electoral region.

Este artículo se centra en la representación mediática de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner en las portadas de la revista semanal Noticias durante su segundo mandato como presidenta de Argentina, 2011–2015. A través de una revisión feminista de la evidencia documental, este texto tiene como objetivo determinar los patrones más prevalentes en el uso de técnicas de dominación y estereotipos de género en los medios de comunicación, discutiendo la representación de mujeres políticas en narrativas visuales y escritas, ya que generalmente ésta refuerza los estereotipos de género, perjudicando la imagen pública de las candidatas y representantes femeninas. Los resultados muestran cómo cinco estereotipos de género identificables (el líder narcisista o la diva frívola; la viuda solitaria frente a la viuda malvada; la mujer hipersexualizada o descontrolada; la mujer mentalmente enferma o desequilibrada psíquicamente; y la mujer insopor­table) interactúan con siete técnicas de dominación complementarias (hacer invisible; ridiculizar; retener información; doble constreñimiento o doble castigo; culpar y humillar o avergonzar; objetivar; violencia, fuerza o amenaza de fuerza) para rechazar, subestimar o burlarse del liderazgo político femenino.

Known for his unique novels, Giono turns out to be the core of an enormous epistolary communication network. His correspondence offers us the opportunity to discover his life, his work in progress and the circumstances of the writing of his novel and its genesis. Several « self-images » emerge from his speech (or writing) revealing the author's great skill in developing his ethos, which he does not always master. They enable us to understand its identity construction, to reveal its complexity and to retrace the author's long journey to glory. This letter writer uses the letter in order to clear a path in the literary field. His exchange with famous authors, many publishers and several partners in literary and cultural life enable him to become a member of the writers "tribe" and to become a part of the society of letters. Giono gradually manages to occupy a privileged place in this world of literary and political power. The letter that does not escape epistolary rhetoric deserves to be studied as a text whose literality rivals that of the work. Giono's love letter is a very revealing example. ; Connu pour ses œuvres singulières, Giono s'avère être le noyau d'un énorme réseau de communication épistolaire. Sa correspondance nous offre l'opportunité inouïe de découvrir la vie de l'homme, mais elle nous informe aussi sur le travail de l'écrivain en élaboration, les circonstances de l'écriture de son œuvre et de sa genèse. Plusieurs « images de soi » se dégagent de son discours et révèlent le grand travail de l'auteur dans l'élaboration de ses ethè, qu'il ne maîtrise pas toujours. Elles nous permettent d'appréhender sa construction identitaire, d'en dévoiler la complexité et de retracer le long périple de l'auteur vers la gloire. L'épistolier se sert de la lettre afin de se frayer un chemin dans le champ littéraire. Son échange avec des auteurs célèbres, des éditeurs et plusieurs partenaires de la vie littéraire et culturelle l'aide à s'introduire dans la « tribu » des écrivains et à se positionner dans la société ...
