The article demonstrates how Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) geographic headings for the Southern Levant mirror the political investment of Congress and the American public in Middle East politics over the last thirty years. The headings' evolution as well as Library of Congress rules governing their creation is charted in detail. These LCSH headings contrast markedly with those established in other national libraries (BnF, DNB) and independent value vocabularies (TGN, GeoNames), and global opinion regarding the legal status of the occupied territories. I sketch the historical context of their formation and offer suggestions as to how libraries can "decolonize" their metadata in service of Sanford Berman's "access and equity."

the President of the Republic launched a reflection on Islam in France, relaunching a recurring topic since the 2001 attacks. At the time, the debate already focused on the difference between 'Islam de France' and 'Islam in France'. However, it was these subjects that the Elysée chose to exhume. At a time when the case law is largely in favour of Muslims wishing to praise and practise their faith, is it really useful to try to impose a clergy on a religion that does not manifest its need? We are talking about forming French imams, allowing public funding through legal trustees to circumvent the 1905 law (lease leases, loan guarantees, etc.). However, Muslims seem to be excluded from the equation — because in substance they really want to be "organised" — as well as those who have to manage relations with them on a daily basis: local elected representatives. They see their scope for manoeuvre increasingly limited by recent case-law. This ultimately deprives them of political arbitrage. The religious issue — Muslim in particular — is the one where the law is almost systematically unfavourable to local power. The decision of the Administrative Court of Dijon, which requires the mayor of Chalon on Saône to reinstate alternative menus in his municipality's canteens, is only one of many judgments which, in the name of completely republican principles, deprive mayors of any possibility of political choice and may lead to almost compulsory religious inclusion in local public policies. ; International audience ; the President of the Republic launched a reflection on Islam in France, relaunching a recurring topic since the 2001 attacks.

Local and regional authorities have been implementing renewed tourism policies since 1990, in line with the economic development mission assigned to them by the General Code of Local and Regional Authorities. In a decision taken in 1985, the Council of State considered this task to be a public service. The wide variety of tourist equipment operations produced and the new experiences developed by this public service support the models of differentiated spatial planning and provide the main reasons for this. The production of tourism services confirms the paradigm of spatial planning transformed by local authorities, which has ceased to be based solely on economic utility and functionalist zoning. Operations and missions reveal a diverse spatial intervention, more mindful of local will and opportunities, in a pattern where communities no longer copy a development model but try to adapt to a sustainable economy. At the beginning of the century, differentiated spatial planning is expected to be of a new scale, linked to the strengthening of regionalisation and decentralised powers. Can the importance of modernising the local public service be recognised in this movement? ; Les collectivités territoriales mettent en œuvre depuis 1990, des politiques touristiques renouvelées, conformes à la mission de développement économique que leur donne le Code général des collectivités territoriales.

International audience The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh ('the Accord') has received both praise and criticism concerning its implications for corporate responsibility and power. This article contributes to the debate by situating the Accord within a broader set of activities that buyers are engaged in to promote better labour conditions in their supply chains. The authors identify three approaches of buyer engagement: auditing, capacity building and advocacy. Drawing on interviews conducted with European brands and retailers, the article shows how buyers perceive the merits and challenges of these approaches, and whether and how they discharge responsibility and power through these activities. The study shows that the Accord is seen primarily as part of the auditing approach with a key feature being its use of collective leverage as a means of enforcement. While greater buyer power has not necessarily been accompanied by greater responsibility, the article highlights heterogeneity among buyers in how they take up different approaches, painting a more nuanced picture of buyer responsibility and power.
if the death of literature is not a fact but a representation, there is no need to diagnose a crisis or death to try to find the conditions for a return to health or life. It is better to limit its ambition to assess the fertility of such a representation: what does it produce? What ideas do you think? What perceptions do you see? The example used (the study by Lacrimosa, the novel of Régis Jauffret) illustrates the case where this representation ceases to be productive: it is no longer a stimulus to creation but an alibi — a bad faith device. But then why do we look at failure? On the small scale where he appears, he illuminates one of the illnesses of 'our time' to speak like the bourgeois of Flaubert: the strange alliance of cynism and depression. Although it is found in a few cantons of the French literary world, more generally, according to Cornélius Castoriadis, it characterises the state of the world and culture in the West. File May 2009LHT No 6 Stéphane Chaudier and Julian Négrel Le Stabat Mater de Régis Jauffret: what kind of literature? 1 a tomb, in the past, was a praise. A beautiful monument was built to honour a beautiful work; the virtues of death grasped the lively. Today, it seems that this metaphor — "dumblers for literature" (not "literature") — is rather understood as an indictment: it is the literature that is buried and humiliated. But is it a dead or a living that is buried? Depending on the answer given to this question, the tombeau will be, or will not be, legitimate. ; International audience ; if the death of literature is not a fact but a representation, there is no need to diagnose a crisis or death to try to find the conditions for a return to health or life.

The Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X, king of Castile and León (1252-1284) contains 420 miracles and praise songs for the Virgin Mary. We have identified 41 with Jewish protagonists, 51 with Moors and 5 with pagans. Ten of these − three with Jews, 6 with Moors and one with a pagan − have been selected for treatment as they involve conversions to Christianity. Side by side, the actions of these miracle narrations are supported by what Alfonso declared to be their treatment in his law code, the Siete Partidas. There, laws regarding how non-Christians are to be treated along with specific laws about their conversion to the Christian law of the land are taken into account. Members of their religions may not impede conversions under penalty of death by fire. Both the Cantigas and the Siete Partidas reflect one another faithfully.
International audience; The title of this paper draws deliberately on that of John Sinclair's keynote in Lorient in 2004, In praise of the dictionary. Whereas John Sinclair concentrated on the product, the dictionary, I shall concentrate on the field, and the harmless drudges who undertake the activity, and more particularly in the area of lexicographical research. The starting point will be Georgian lexicography and its importance to the national language and culture. This leads naturally to what I consider two major challenges facing lexicographical research today and the science policy issues it faces: funding policy and notably our place in EC Framework Programmes and the effects of research evaluation. In a second part, I want to give praise to two particular " harmless drudges " – Antoine Furetière and Henri Basnage de Beauval – who illustrate the profile of lexicography in their time. This will allow me to discuss the importance of historical lexicography within the context of digital humanities. 1 A Fanfare for the Makers 1 This paper is about lexicography, the field, the craft, the discipline in all its forms. I owe the title to the late great John Sinclair as when I organised the 11 th EURALEX Congress in 2004, he entitled his paper as 'In praise of the dictionary'. He opened a new world for corpus-driven dictionaries and spoke about one way forward as he saw it. However, my aim here is not to discuss so much the product, although it is impossible to discuss the field without speaking about dictionaries, but the lexicographical research and some of the challenges it faces. I break my talk into two parts: the first deals with raising the profile of our harmless drudgery in the face of restricted funding. In praising lexicographer here, I speak to the converted, and the issues I raise concern the necessity for us to preach the importance of the field at both national and EU levels. The European Network for e-Lexicography shows that we can use our enormous networking capacities, but also that if we don't ...
National audience L'Aveyron, election land for the contemporary window? If we look at the media success of Soulages in Conques, the proposal will not seem to be misplaced. But the convergence of eyes and praise towards the sole basil of Holy Foy must not make it forgotten the variety of creations from which the rouergate churches have benefited, albeit more discreetly, since the middle of the last century. ; National audience L'Aveyron, terre d'élection pour le vitrail contemporain ? Si l'on songe au succès médiatique qu'ont remporté les verrières de Soulages à Conques, la proposition ne paraîtra pas déplacée. Mais la convergence des regards et des louanges vers la seule basilique de sainte Foy ne doit pas faire oublier la variété de création dont les églises rouergates ont bénéficié, quoique plus discrètement, depuis le milieu du siècle dernier.
This Working Paper builds on the scientific discourse on valuation of SSH research as well as SSH-integration in EU framework programmes and aims at summarizing the key findings from the November 2018 Austrian EU Presidency Conference "Impact of Social Sciences and Humanities for a European Research Agenda - Valuation of SSH in mission-oriented research". It deals with the topic in three instalments. First, it will discuss recent trends in research funding. Second, it provides a brief historical overview of the efforts of integrating SSH into the EU Research Framework Programme. It then adds some observations about continued challenges in SSH. Finally, it will conclude with some suggestions for SSH scholars, based on the discussions from the conference. In that regard the Working Paper is also a document for further reading for those who have read earlier, shorter texts that were published in preparation of that conference.
