The name of the university hosting the Lyonnais Centre for the History of Law and Political Thought was almost in itself the choice of the theme of this first delivery by the Jean Moulin Cahiers. The Lyonnais remember the arrest of Max/Jean Moulin in Caluire on 21 June 1943 in the house of Dr Dugoujon; but they may know less than that which General de Gaulle had entrusted with the realisation of the Resistance Union was a habit of Brasserie Geo. ; Le nom de l'université qui héberge le Centre lyonnais d'histoire du droit et de la pensée politique déterminait pratiquement à lui seul le choix du thème de cette première livraison des Cahiers Jean Moulin. Les Lyonnais se souviennent en effet de l'arrestation de Max / Jean Moulin à Caluire, le 21 juin 1943, dans la maison du docteur Dugoujon ; mais ils savent peut-être moins que celui que le général de Gaulle avait chargé de réaliser l'union de la Résistance était un habitué de la Brasserie Geo …

In early 1890, Robert French took a series of photographs of New Tipperary, in southern Ireland. The town was newly built for hundreds of tenants from the Smith-Barry estate, who left their homes, businesses and farms during conflict with the landlord. The centerpiece of the new town's architecture was a shopping arcade, which included a covered market space. French's images of the new town represent an intersection between architectural, political and national discourses. Each photographic image exists as commodity and as visual representation. This unstable double function is the point of departure for this paper, which elaborates on this schema using French's New Tipperary images –and proposes some productive ways in which the images can be understood. When the New Tipperary project ran out of funds and ultimately failed in 1892, the arcade was demolished. French's photographs remain as spectral manifestations of its architecture as political resistance.

Rebel Music", from the 1974 Natty Dread album, is a classic articulation of Marley's liberatory politics. Though the album credits state that the song was written by Aston Barrett and Hugh Peart, the vision is unquestionably Marley's. "Rebel Music" both roadblock and curfew become symbols of a larger system of brutality with its roots in plantation slavery. ; "Rebel Music", del álbum de 1974 Natty Dread, es un clásico de la articulación política liberadora de Marley. Aunque los créditos del álbum afirman que la canción fue escrita por Aston Barrett y Hugh Peart, la visión es, sin duda, de Marley. En "Rebel Music" los toques de queda y las restricciones de movilidad se convierten en símbolos de un sistema más amplio de brutalidad con sus raíces en la esclavitud en las plantaciones.

Hace nueve años escribí un epílogo para Orientalismo en el que, al intentar aclarar lo que había dicho y no había dicho, no sólo subrayaba los numerosos debates suscitados desde la aparición de mi libro, en 1978, sino el modo en que una obra sobre las representaciones de «Oriente» se prestaba a creciente tergiversación. Que ello me provoque hoy más ironía que irritación muestra lo que he envejecido. Los recientes fallecimientos de mis dos grandes mentores intelectuales, políticos y personales, Eqbal Ahmad e Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, me han producido, además de tristeza y sentimiento de pérdida, resignación y una especie de terco empeño en seguir adelante. En mis memorias, Fuera de lugar (Grijalbo, 2001), hablaba de los extraños y contradictorios mundos en los que me eduqué y ofrecía a los lectores un relato detallado de las circunstancias que me formaron en Palestina, Egipto y Líbano. Pero era un texto muy personal, que se detenía justo antes de mis años de compromiso político, iniciado tras la guerra de 1967 entre árabes e israelíes. ; Nine years ago wrote an epilogue to Orientalism in which, in trying to clarify what I had said and not said, I highlighted not only the many debates that had arisen since the appearance of my book in 1978, but the way in which a work on the representations of "the East" lent itself to increasing distortion. That this causes me more irony today than irritation shows how much I have aged. The recent deaths of my two great intellectual, political and personal mentors, Eqbal Ahmad and Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, have produced in me, in addition to sadness and feelings of loss, resignation and a kind of stubborn determination to move on. In my memoirs, "Out of Place" (Grijalbo, 2001), I spoke of strange and contradictory worlds in which I was educated and offered readers a detailed account of the circumstances that shaped me in Palestine, Egypt and Lebanon. But it was a very personal text, which stopped just before my years of political engagement, which began after the 1967 war between the Arabs and Israelis.

In this article, we analyze the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Union (EU) through the study of 'resistance' to gender equality initiatives in EU research policy. Contributing to feminist institutionalist theories, we identify resistance to gender initiatives within the Directorate General Research and Innovation, showing that there have been obstacles to an effective implementation of gender mainstreaming in the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme (FP6). We argue that the encountered resistances reveal tensions between the European Commission's official mandate of mainstreaming gender equality into all policies and its actual implementation, which results in the 'filtering out' of transformative gender equality goals

This thesis focus on cooperatives survival. Since the financial crisis, the cooperative model is particularly promoted for its ability to resist crises. However, this resilience seems to be inferred from many economic facts (growth in cumulative cooperative sector turnover, increase in membership and wage employment, etc.) and not scientific studies. Thus, the aim of this research is to provide scientific insight into the ability of the cooperative model to cope better than corporations. Cooperatives are held by their members who have the dual status of suppliers of capital and suppliers, employees or customers. From this singular ownership flows an ambition that goes beyond the dominant financial paradigm of maximizing value for capital providers: maximizing value for members. Hence, one question arises: does ownership of cooperatives affect their ability to cope better? To answer this question, we have structured our thinking around four essays. The first essay is a literature review that revisits the notion of cooperative performance: in the case of cooperatives, financial performance can be equated with the ability to resist over time, that is, to survive. In the second essay we compare the survival of cooperatives and corporations, by distinguishing between disappearances by mergers and liquidations, and test the influence of classical financial determinants. The results indicate that cooperatives seem to be more resilient through a particular mechanism: the merger. This allows a redeployment of the activity and members can continue to sell their production in an organization that they will collectively hold and that they will manage democratically. Thus, while mergers are not the property of cooperatives, they reflect the principle of solidarity between cooperatives and make it possible for members to avoid the negative consequences of the disappearance of the activity. The results also indicate that the traditional financial determinants do not fully account for the survival of cooperatives. The third ...
