4341. Récits et cadrages politiques en Euskadi : lectures de l'iconographie abertzale

Abstract:
Cet article repose sur un travail de terrain au pays basque nord ayant permis de collecter plusieurs milliers de traces iconographiques de type nationaliste dans les trois provinces basques françaises. Il est complété par un travail étudiant de recueil de données réalisé au sud en 2010. Après avoir dressé un état des lieux précis de la couverture iconographique du territoire par les formations abertzales permettant de mettre en avant les principaux thèmes de la contestation murale, l'auteur propose une lecture en termes de cadrage (framing) et de « dispositifs de sensibilisation » permettant de comprendre de quelle façon l'iconographie favorise des processus de mobilisation collective en mettant à disposition un registre émotionnel et affectuel particulièrement efficace.

Abstract:
S'appuyant sur un travail de terrain réalisé en 2010 et 2011, cet article propose une analyse des traces iconographiques et inscriptions nationalistes qui colonisent l'espace public en Corse. Il explicite les usages multiples – stratégiques, identitaires et cognitifs – de cette mise en scène visuelle de la contestation au travers de laquelle s'exprime un nationalisme de la quotidienneté (banal nationalism). Il s'intéresse également à la réception par ceux qui y sont confrontés, de ces messages constituant de véritables marqueurs identitaires de l'espace insulaire. Laissent-ils indifférents ou leur accorde-t-on une quelconque importance ? À quels interprétations et jugements donnent-ils lieu ?

Abstract:
Proliférant sur les murs publics des barrios pauvres comme des centre-ville du Venezuela à mesure de l'institution controversée d'un gouvernement « révolutionnaire » bolivarien (au début du siècle), l'iconographie populaire vénézuélienne est autant l'objet de politiques publiques « participatives » que d'initiatives transgressives autonomes vis-à-vis des agendas partisans. Située à la confluence des mondes de l'art de la guérilla des années 60-70 et de la contre-culture hip-hop, elle oscille entre propagande « anti-impérialiste » chaviste, dispute du leadership de la bourgeoisie bolivarienne et critique « a-politique » des ordres marchand et policier. À l'aune des processus de production et d'exposition d'ouvres d'artistes réputés pour leur irrédentisme, leur électoralisme ou leur a-politisme, l'article explore les logiques socio-spatiales de (dé)légitimation de la « révolution » aux marges du chavisme, et les limites propres aux causes politico-artistiques, séditieuses ou non.

4344. Logiques et ressorts de l'iconographie anti-biométrique en France

Abstract:
En France, l'iconographie a joué à travers l'histoire un rôle non négligeable tant dans les entreprises étatiques destinées à légitimer la nécessité d'instituer certains dispositifs d'identification des personnes que dans les mobilisations dénonçant les dangers des initiatives prises par les pouvoirs publics en la matière. Au regard des expériences du passé, cet article montre comment l'image est devenue un instrument majeur du répertoire d'action contestataire des anti-biométrie. Il s'intéresse aussi à la manière dont ces derniers y recourent en investissant principalement quatre thématiques en vue de sensibiliser à leur cause : l'humour, l'histoire, l'enfance et le corps.

Abstract:
The joint American and NATO campaign in Afghanistan which has been going on for over a decade now became the Alliance’s largest and most expensive operation. It has already sucked in over $1 trillion, claimed over 3 thousand lives (over half of them American) and left over 100 thousand wounded. As the hardest psychological test for NATO it triggered talks about its systemic crisis.

Abstract:
The regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has been demonstrating a relatively high level of tenacity amid the proxy war raging in the country for over two years now. Indeed, the authoritarian regime in Tunisia folded up in two weeks; the Mubarak regime in Egypt, in slightly over four weeks; the Colonel Qaddafi regime collapsed after six months of NATO strikes. Russian expert Prof. Edouard Ozhiganov has offered a methodologically exact comment: “Any political regime can be described as stable to the extent to which it can neutralize inside and outside pressure using its own resources and instruments.”

Abstract:
The nine articles in this volume were chosen from over 150 submissions through a blind-selection process in Princeton. After individually reading a large number of submissions, attending editors first voted for their favorite papers via secret ballot, and we then facilitated an open debate to winnow down these choices to the cream of the crop. In the intervening months before publication, editors in Princeton from relevant policy areas worked with the authors to fact-check their work and fine-tune their arguments. While their geographic foci and policy subjects are multifarious, all the authors in this edition share a passion for changing the world through better policy. Whether it is women’s health issues in Tanzania, banking regulation in the European Union, diplomacy with Iran over its nuclear ambitions, or immigration policy in the United States, the authors implore global policymakers to change course in order to remedy contemporary problems in public affairs. This dedication to making the world a better place through public policy, in addition to demonstrating first-rate scholarship, make us proud to showcase these articles.

Abstract:
BEIJING—Between dawn and dusk, on the 18th floor of a glass-walled office tower in the north fourth ring road of Beijing, thousands of editors working for Sina, a portal that includes Sina Weibo's 500 million users, survey a myriad of news sources, snatching more than 10,000 items to display on its site. It is China's most popular news portal and largest aggregator. Its news section, with its vast audience, plays a major role in shaping the nation's media consumption.

Abstract:
The two leading universities in China and India, Peking University and India Institute of Technology-Bombay respectively, represent two vastly different approaches to education and life. Both require students to take highly competitive exams. Those who successfully pass the exams represent the choice minority. While Peking students are offered an array of subjects to study—more of the liberal arts variety—students at IIT-Bombay are immediately placed on a science and engineering track. However, the Peking students must pay a higher tuition for their broader choice of subjects. After graduation, Chinese students remain in the country, unlike Indian students who apply for work visas abroad at strikingly higher rates.

Abstract:
MUMBAI—Shaped by disparate political, economic, and social forces, and starkly divergent histories, China and India, though neighbors, have arrived at a point where their young people, as well as their leaders, have developed individual paths toward each other and the world. For a host of reasons, the two nations remain at odds 30 years after both economies and societies truly opened to global markets and outside influences.
