L’égalité est un des principes fondamentaux de toutes les démocraties modernes. Bien plus, il n’existe aucune théorie politique qui ne se réfère directement ou indirectement à l’égalité ou à l’inégalité à un point tel qu’on puisse dire que, dans la plupart des cas, du moins depuis les Révolutions américaine et française, la justice d’un ordre social et politique se traduit par l’égalité ou l’inégalité entre ses membres. D’où la controverse qui entoure son usage dans les contextes sociaux et politiques. C’est à juste titre qu’on a pu dire que la justice représente un “essentially contested concepts”.1 Néanmoins, même en politique, ce ne sont pas toutes les occurrences ou emploi du terme égalité ou inégalité qui devraient donner lieu à des contestations.

L’œuvre de Pierre Legendre est immense par son volume (plus de quarante ouvrages) et son originalité. Elle traite de façon exigeante de «l’animal humain doué de parole» et de la société considérée comme un Texte. Dans cette œuvre se mêlent les approches juridico-historiques, généalogiques, philosophiques, socio-théologiques et psychanalytiques, formant une anthropologie culturelle brillante. Cet ouvrage collectif est une introduction à «l’anthropologie dogmatique» élaborée par Legendre. Il s’agit d’une lecture pluridisciplinaire de problématiques abordées dans cette œuvre de très haute érudition, pensée en réaction au positivisme de l’Occident gestionnaire. Sa visée est le dévoilement des fondements du système institutionnel de la culture occidentale et de ses origines historiques. Neuf auteurs de différents pays et de diverses disciplines sont ici réunis pour élucider les thématiques, les concepts et les questions soulevées par l’œuvre de Pierre Legendre, pour offrir au lecteur une analyse à plusieurs voix d’une pensée contemporaine singulière et incontournable.

L’objectif de cet ouvrage est double : il se propose d’interroger et de présenter les derniers développements du dialogue entre les études littéraires et le paradigme scientifique dominant de notre époque, à savoir les sciences cognitives. Le projet de ces dernières est ambitieux : il s’agit de comprendre l’intégralité de l’expérience humaine, y compris le rapport entre notre corps-esprit-cerveau et la fiction, conçue non seulement comme une source de divertissement, mais aussi comme un moyen d’exploration et de connaissance de soi et du monde. Le dialogue entre les études littéraires et les sciences cognitives, apparu dans les années 1970 dans l’espace anglo-saxon, fait l’objet de nouveaux questionnements que les contributeurs de ce volume problématisent dans l’espace universitaire français, où les études littéraires cognitives suscitent l’intérêt d’un nombre grandissant de chercheurs.

The application of digital technologies to historical newspapers have changed the research landscape historians were used to. An Eldorado? Despite undeniable advantages, the new digital affordance of historical newspapers also transforms research practices and confronts historians with new challenges. Drawing on a growing community of practices, the impresso project invited scholars experienced with digitised newspaper collections with the aim of encouraging a discussion on heuristics, source criticism and interpretation of digitized newspapers. This volume provides a snapshot of current research on the subject and offers three perspectives: how digitisation is transforming access to and exploration of historical newspaper collections; how automatic content processing allows for the creation of new layers of information; and, finally, what analyses this enhanced material opens up. ‘impresso - Media Monitoring of the Past’ is an interdisciplinary research project that applies text mining tools to digitised historical newspapers and integrates the resulting data into historical research workflows by means of a newly developed user interface. The question of how best to adapt text mining tools and their use by humanities researchers is at the heart of the impresso enterprise. [less ▲]

This book is an invitation to a very special voyage of discovery through Luxembourg's south: around forty Luxembourgish, German, French, Italian, Belgian writers and historians have been inspired by Bruce Springsteen's songs and have written texts about the Luxembourg-Lorraine iron ore basin, "de Minett", and about those who live and have lived there, were born there or immigrated there, worked there, loved there, dreamed there, hoped, struggled, succeeded - or failed. By creating fictitious stories "based on true events" or real stories, the stories of the heroes of "This Hard Minett Land", "struggling to do everything right" (Bruce Springsteen, "Brilliant Disguise").

As in all fields and disciplines of the humanities, Jewish Studies scholars find themselves confronted with the rapidly increasing availability of digital resources (data), new technologies to　interrogate and analyze them (tools), and the question of how to critically engage with these developments. This volume discusses how the digital turn has affected the field of Jewish Studies. It explores the current state of the art and probes how digital developments can be harnessed to address the specific questions, challenges and problems that Jewish Studies scholars confront. In a field characterised by dispersed sources, and heterogeneous scripts and languages that speak to a multitude of cultures and histories, of abundance as well as loss, what is the promise of Digital Humanities methods--and what are the challenges and pitfalls? The articles in this volume were originally presented at the international conference #DHJewish - Jewish Studies in the Digital Age, which was organised at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at University of Luxembourg in January 2021. The first big international conference of its kind, it brought together more than sixty scholars and heritage practitioners to discuss how the digital turn affects the field of Jewish Studies.

Different authors will contribute to considerations of how the discourse can be applied to – and amplified in – the Luxembourg context. Academics, practitioners/professionals and activists will shed light on the issues at stake in thought-provoking pieces, which will provide an inspirational starting point for future theory and practice.

Im September 2020 ist es soweit: Der neue Medienstaatsvertrag löst den bisherigen Rundfunkstaatsvertrag ab. Er bedeutet nicht weniger als eine umfassende Neuregulierung der elektronischen Medien. Auch die Vorschriften zur Aufsicht erfahren umfangreiche Neuregelungen. Insgesamt lassen sich im Vergleich zum Rundfunkstaatsvertrag erhebliche Änderungen sowohl in der Systematik als auch in vielen Details verzeichnen. Der Medienstaatsvertrag trägt damit technischen Entwicklungen ebenso Rechnung wie der Umsetzung von neuen Vorgaben auf unionaler Ebene. Überarbeitet und geändert wurden Regelungen zum Rundfunkbegriff- und Zulassungsvorschriften sowie die Plattformregulierung. Teilweise völlig neu oder mindestens erheblich geändert sind die Abschnitte zu neuen Medienformen und -plattformarten, zu "Medienintermediären", "Benutzeroberflächen" und "Video-Sharing-Diensten". Unser Standardwerk zum bisherigen Rundfunkstaatsvertrag sowie Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag trägt diesen weitreichenden Änderungen Rechnung und wird zum Heidelberger Kommentar Medienstaatsvertrag Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag. In gewohnter Qualität und Expertise - Herausgeber und Autoren sind namhafte Experten aus der deutschen Medienlandschaft - wird die gesamte historische Entwicklung des föderal vereinbarten Rundfunk- und Telemedienrechts einschließlich des Jugendmedienschutzrechts und der europäischen Entwicklungen berücksichtigt und es wird eine vollständige Informationsquelle zu verfassungsrechtlichen, einfachgesetzlichen und praktischen Streitfragen geboten. Dabei enthält der Kommentar neben dem Text der Staatsverträge sämtliche relevanten begleitenden Texte wie die amtlichen Begründungen, die Ratifizierungsgesetze sowie Dokumente aus dem Europarecht und von Landesmedienanstalten, Rundfunkanstalten und Selbstkontrollorganisationen. Ausführungen zur Entstehungsgeschichte geben wertvolle Erkenntnisse zu Hintergründen des Medienstaatsvertrags. Übersichtsbeiträge zur relevanten Verfassungsrechtsprechung, zu den einschlägigen Rechtsgrundlagen und zu den europäischen Entwicklungen bilden die Basis für die ausführlichen Einzelkommentierungen zum Medienstaatsvertrag und Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag.

This book focuses on the enforcement aspect of tobacco control policy, and argues that the intense regulation of the tobacco market will never be successful as long as it can be circumvented by the availability of illicit tobacco products. Yet, current efforts to combat illicit tobacco trade are insufficient, suffering from several flaws and gaps at the regulatory and operational levels. The aim of this book is to provide an analysis of the legal framework and practice of enforcement with regard to illicit tobacco products. Combining criminological and legal perspectives, it presents and critically analyses the phenomenon of illicit tobacco trade, as well as the policies, legal frameworks and practices in six EU countries with regard to combatting this phenomenon, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their approaches. Furthermore, it studies the relationship between the EU and third countries (e.g. Ukraine) in terms of how the EU can influence policy and enforcement in these countries in order to counter illicit tobacco trafficking. Not exclusively focusing on the EU, the book also includes an analysis of enforcement against illicit tobacco products in the US. The EU Member States analysed in the book (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Poland) reflect the range of currently available approaches. Some of them have ratified the WHO Protocol against tobacco smuggling; others have not. They belong to different legal traditions and face different challenges due to their respective border situations. While Belgium and the Netherlands are key entry ports to the EU, Poland and Latvia represent the Eastern land border of the EU, with various regional challenges. Italy has a long maritime border, where trafficking is possible from Northern Africa and from the Middle East. It also has significant experience in fighting organised crime. Lastly, Germany is the largest market in Europe and situated in the middle of these trafficking routes. [less ▲]

The latest advances in several emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, privacy-preserving algorithms used in localization and positioning systems, cloud computing and computer vision all have great potential in facilitating social distancing. Benefits range from supporting people to work from home to monitoring micro- and macro- movements such as contact tracing apps using Bluetooth, tracking the movement and transportation level of a city and wireless positioning systems to help people keep a safe distance by alerting them when they are too close to each other or to avoid congestion. However, implementing such technologies in practical scenarios still faces various challenges. This book aims to lay the foundations of how these technologies could be adopted to realize and facilitate social distancing to better manage pandemics and future outbreaks. Starting with basic concepts, models and practical technology-based social distancing scenarios, the authors present enabling wireless technologies and solutions which could be widely adopted to encourage social distancing. They include symptom prediction, detection and monitoring of quarantined people and contact tracing. In the future, smart infrastructures for next-generation wireless systems should incorporate a pandemic mode in their standard architecture and design. [less ▲]

Assemblies are ancestral, transcultural ways of coming together as a community. Over the past decades, multiple social movements have reappropriated these forms of collective organisation as a prominent component of political struggle, to defend radical visions of democracy. At the same time, governments across the globe have sought to reframe public deliberation as a response to the failures of representative democracy. How can we analyze this double movement, and could assemblies of equals once again offer possibilities to reimagine and renew the ways politics is practiced? To address these questions, we need to move beyond simply asking what assemblies can do, and instead examine how they are made. This means departing from the shores of a speculative, deliberative ideal and restoring attention to both their diversity of forms, and their capacities to perform, deform, and transform. Bringing together accounts written by those who practice assemblies, and contributions from artists, activists, historians, philosophers, and social scientists, as well as three architectural experiments that attempt to imagine models for a future assembly, the book proposes a critical inquiry into the potential of assemblies to shape political subjects. From assemblies in Indigenous territories of Brazil to those of the Yellow Vests in France, from medieval communes to street parliaments in Africa, from citizens’ assemblies set up by public authorities to practices forged from emancipatory traditions, What Makes An Assembly? examines the tensions that exist in all assemblies between the need for form and the danger of formalization; between the scripts, rituals, and architectural settings from which they derive, and their capacity to erupt and emerge anew.

Souvent appréciés, parfois décriés, les travailleurs frontaliers occupent une place importante dans le paysage économique, politique et social de Suisse. Dans certains cantons, ils constituent depuis plusieurs décennies un des facteurs de la croissance économique. Pourtant, ils sont relativement peu connus. A cheval entre deux pays, leurs modes de vie, leur statut spécifique, leur pratique de la frontière interrogent. Ils sont ainsi qualifiés d’Etrangers familiers par les différents auteurs de cet ouvrage. Leur emploi, leur quotidien et leurs pratiques sont passés au crible, à la lumière d’entretiens mais également de données statistiques, révélant au passage la diversité des situations selon les cantons, et la grande variété des profils des frontaliers. C’est finalement tout un système organisé autour du travailleur frontalier lui-même qui est au cœur de cet ouvrage, retraçant l’emploi, le parcours des frontaliers, mais également leur quotidien et les questions relatives à leur intégration.

The contributions to this book examine the two main asymmetries of the Euro Area as they have intensified during the second decade of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU): the first between monetary union (more supranational governance) versus ‘economic’ union (less centralised governance); the second between those Euro Area member states of the so-called ‘core’ and those of the ‘periphery’. EMU stands as one of the European Union’s (EU) flagship integration achievements. Set up in 1999, with the large majority of EU member states at the time, EMU was described as ‘asymmetrical’ even prior to its start. From the outset, it involved asymmetrical integration in monetary and ‘economic’ union. Although a major element of the blueprint that paved the way for the final stage of EMU, the concept of ‘economic’ union was insufficiently developed. The second decade of the single currency gave rise to a second asymmetry, namely one between those Euro Area　member states of the ‘core’ and those of the ‘periphery’. The ten contributions to this volume speak to one or both of these asymmetries, covering the major political, political economy and policy dimensions of EMU and the ongoing debates about necessary policy and institutional reforms to overcome these asymmetries and bolster Euro Area stability. The outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Crisis in 2020 created unprecedented socio-economic challenges for Euro Area member states, heightening the perceived urgency of reform. [less ▲]

“You never knew. That was his power.” These words, which picture Keyser Söze in The Usual Suspects (1995), also describe a specific mode of action typical of evil protagonists in popular culture of the 20th and 21st centuries, namely their non-appearance. One can indeed distinguish several types of evil in popular culture: on the one hand, the representatives of the “other” in the sense of a political enemy (the stereotypical character of the Nazi, the Communist, the Arab terrorist, etc.); on the other hand, the figure of the faceless, disguised, not (stereotypically) apparent evil. The secret organization that James Bond fights against in several films is significantly named “Specter”. Similarly, Lord Voldemort remains faceless and ghostlike in the Harry Potter series. These figures do not represent the “other” as a clearly identifiable political antagonist, but an “other other” whose unknowability and namelessness are an essential part to his or her power and (non-)identity. The “bad guys” can always be interpreted as reflections of a political order: by not adhering to the moral, social, and political rules of the community, they reflect on the contingency of these rules and may also try to enforce alternative models of coexistence through violence. It would therefore be interesting to ask to what extent the faceless figure of evil represents a political model without being clearly identified to a political or ideological “other”? In the context of media diversity in popular culture in the 20th and 21st centuries, the portrayal of faceless figures of evil produces an equally wide variety of aesthetic manifestations. The question of the representations of evil thus necessarily exists at the interface between politics and poetics. This issue of Cultural Express wants to examine this interface in popular and youth literature, fantasy, science-fiction, horror, crime fiction, movies, TV series, songs, comics, graphic novels, video games, etc. [less ▲]

Um Kinder mit einer Lernstörung durch möglichst angepasste Hilfsmaßnahmen unterstützen zu können, ist eine umfassende Diagnostik maßgeblich. Die Diagnostik von Lernstörungen stellt vor allem in multilingualen Kontexten - wie in Luxemburg - eine Herausforderung dar. Auch werden derzeit vorwiegend im Ausland entwickelte diagnostische Tests durchgeführt, welche die luxemburgischen Besonderheiten, wie etwa das Erlernen der schriftsprachlichen und mathematischen Kompetenzen in einer Zweit- oder Drittsprache, nicht berücksichtigen. Ausgehend vom aktuellen Forschungs- und Wissensstand wird ein vertieftes Verständnis im Hinblick auf Lese- und Rechtschreibstörungen und Rechenstörungen dargelegt. Darauf aufbauend werden diagnostische Vorgehensweisen sowie pädagogische Hilfsmaßnahmen mithilfe von Erfahrungswerten praktizierender Fachkräfte aus dem luxemburgischen Förderbereich vorgestellt.

The impact of EU law on the Member States depends decisively on the application by national judges of principles and rules elaborated by the EU Court of Justice in response to the preliminary ruling references made by the national judges themselves. Therefore the good functioning of the complex system resulting from the interaction between the EU legal order and the Member States implies a constructive relationship between the Court of Justice and the national judges. With this premise, the volume aims to face the di culties experienced in the ‘dialogue’ between all national courts (on the merits, supreme, constitutional) and the EU Court of Justice. To this purpose the national judges themselves are called to express their opinions: they were requested to illustrate, from their experience, the drawbacks encountered in the communication with the CJEU. The voice of professors specialised in European and comparative law is then heard. [less ▲]
