During the fifteen years discussed here — 1998-2013 — all the countries of South America, except Colombia and Peru, have democratically established themselves through the ballot boxes of left-wing governments. This turn to the left began in 1998 with the election of Hugo Chavez by universal suffrage as President of the Republic of Venezuela. Such an impressive tidal tress raises questions about its causes but also about the distinction that is usually made on the two left: one referred to as moderate, comprising Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and the other considered to be revolutionary, including Hugo Chavez, Bolivia of Evo Morales and Equateur de Rafael Correa. Research has different objectives: understanding the origins of the turn on the left, drawing up the balance sheet after 15 years of power, defining political, economic and social achievements. Cristina Kirchner estimated the 2000s in Argentina as a gained decade. This judgment could be extended to most countries in the region. The debt problem has been resolved to the advantage of certain countries such as Argentina and Ecuador. Growth has returned throughout the subcontinent. Poverty has fallen to a very large extent, even though it is far from being eliminated. Unemployment has also decreased. The middle classes have grown. The neo-liberal model behind South American illnesses in the previous period was fought. That said, nothing is played definitively. In most countries, the right retains a resounding power. ; Au cours des quinze années ici abordées -1998-2013- tous les pays de l'Amérique du Sud, à l'exception de la Colombie et du Pérou, se sont dotés démocratiquement par les urnes de gouvernements de gauche. Ce virage a gauche a débuté en 1998 par l'élection d'Hugo Chavez au suffrage universel à la présidence de la république du Venezuela. Un raz de marée aussi impressionnant conduit à s'interroger sur ses causes mais aussi sur la distinction que l'on opère habituellement sur les deux gauche : l'une qualifiée de modérée qui regroupe le Brésil, ...

Cet article dégage quatre phases, des années 1980 à aujourd'hui, d'une réception sud-coréenne d'Althusser traversée par une aporie : accueilli comme une arme de la révolution plutôt que comme un philosophe représentatif du « marxisme occidental », dans le cadre de la « controverse sur la nature de la formation sociale coréenne » et la tentative de restauration du marxisme des années 1980, le travail d'Althusser ne put être approprié qu'à la condition d'être interprété dans une voie marxiste-léniniste dogmatique. L'auteur en suit les conséquences à partir des années 1990 tandis que, sur fond d'effondrement du bloc socialiste, s'accuse une tendance générale à la dépolitisation de l'espace public coréen, qui donne son contexte à l'importation des « post-discours » qui marginaliseront jusqu'au début des années 2010 la contribution althussérienne.

'Give me one thousand days, and I will change the country,' Matteo Renzi launched last spring, three months after his sensational burst onto the national scene. The man has had to hurriedly temper his impatience, to submit to exasperating parliamentary delays and assert himself in European spheres. But the setbacks in early summer, with the return of recession in the second quarter and economic forecasts little exciting, did not affect his reformist enthusiasm. This charismatic Florentine governing Italy since February 28, 2014 has so far done nothing wrong and has won two major battles: he won the European elections in which his party won 40.8%; and he succeeded brilliantly passed his examination before the European Parliament.

Scottish nationalism took advantage of Margaret Thatcher's and, more recently, Tony Blair's unpopularity to expand and develop. In 2007 the Scottish National 223 abstracts Party (SNP) won the Scottish Parliament general election for the first time, and four years later, they won the absolute majority. If the "yes" vote has only a slim chance of winning the independence referendum in September 2014, the nationalists still believe they will be able to benefit from it by obtaining a larger transfer of power.

Taiwan's cinema is very much a reflection of the island's identity, & was for a long time closely linked to the ruling power. Its golden age was the "new wave" of the 1970s, when filmmakers played a role in reviving people's memories, far from the clich6s of official history. Films from this era won awards at major festivals, as well as plaudits from across the globe. Today, young filmmakers want to see renewal, but their efforts at breaking the mold of auteur cinema have yet to bear fruit. The muted response in both Taiwan & China to Ang Lee's latest film, Lust, Caution, which nonetheless won the Golden Lion at the Mostra Venice film festival, is symptomatic of the malaise. It is through other genres -- comedies & documentaries -- that Taiwanese cinema is showing signs of renewal. This is a type of cinema that addresses a generation in thrall to freedom & individualism, capable of shaking the moral values of their elders. Adapted from the source document.

This short article written following the round-table discussion organized around the theme "Untruth in the Housing Project" develops the case of Polly Baker, a woman who, in 1747, pleaded before a tribunal for the equality of treatment of men and women, and won her case. This case, invented by Benjamin Franklin, was widely believed to be true during the 18th century. Why? Adapted from the source document.

ABSTRACT- The prestige of the Paraguayan officers who trained in France and who won the Chaco War seems to be questioned now because their results as students in the Ecole Supérieure de Guerre were not up to standard. However, we can see that some of the teachings came in useful thanks to dear-thinking officers who knew what kind of warfare they might have to wage in a Latin American context.

Andrée Bachoud,
Spanish Civil War. Myths and propaganda. The example of Alcazar.
The siege of the Alcazar, well orchestrated for public opinion, was the first and only successful attempt to place the rebellion in a Spanish military and catholic tradition. But its effects could not last because the historical facts contradicted the myth constructed at the time and thus contributed to its weakness. The battle for opinion was won by the Republicans.
