“…The challenge of this collection of studies, transdisciplinary by choice and by necessity, is to confront the two notions in their uses and their history. This book thus proposes a more detailed cartography of these concepts than those proposed by the analytical literature (whether it is Isaiah Berlin's dual categorization opposing positive freedom and negative freedom or the now fixed opposition between liberalism and republicanism). …”

“…For this task, the postmodern Lyotardian notion will be used as disbelief in the legitimation metanarratives of the to know. …”

“…C'est pourquoi, si le volume retient du cliché « l'exception française » la notion culturelle, il privilégie l'exception dans les formes littéraires. …”

“…L'objectif est ainsi de permettre à l'institution scolaire de mieux considérer le fonctionnement du sujet : agir sur le conatif pour rendre plus performant le cognitif et, pourquoi pas, intégrer la notion de bien-être dans les préoccupations éducatives de l'école…”

“…By juxtaposing these seemingly opposed relations, rural social media users are able to use these technologies to understand, capitalise on and challenge the notions of morality that underlie rural life…”

“…The book challenges the popular notion of a clash of cultures pitting Muslim and non-Muslim Europeans against one another. …”

“…La périodisation du mouvement, ses composantes révolutionnaires, son incidence sur les arts et les lettres sont ici autant d'angles d'approche pour penser les hérissements de la continuité et l'irrégularité au cœur de la notion d'événement. Réécrire l'histoire des Noirs aux États-Unis devient alors un processus d'intelligibilité renouvelé et une sensibilité aux paroles dites, aux temps vécus par les acteurs de cette histoire, aux récits et œuvres d'art qui produisent le changement et en témoignent…”

“…Quels que soient les sentiments que l’on puisse avoir sur les fondements idéologiques des notions de leadership, de nouvel ordre international, de juste cause, la nation américaine est caractérisée par sa phobie des conflits irréductibles et ce sont bien la lassitude et la déception qui l’ont emporté dans la “crise de conscience” de l’“Amérique impériale”. …”

“…Pour répondre à cette question, Noël Mouloud, dans son livre posthume, rappelle d’abord que la logique contemporaine, loin de développer des idéalités parfaitement pures, construit pragmatiquement ses structures en fonction des référents qu’elle vise ; la réflexion s’appuie sur la notion de monde possible, en écho aux travaux d’Hintikka. …”

“…Au-delà de l’Atlantique noir de Paul Gilroy, l’Atlantique de l’esclavage, notion englobante dont les frontières vont jusqu’au cœur des continents, a cependant été en permanence retravaillé par des subdivisions linguistiques (l’Atlantique lusophone, francophone, anglophone...) ou hémisphériques (Atlantique Sud, Nord). …”

“…In the Renaissance, an era of epistemic fractures, when the clash between the 'new science' (Copernicus, Galileo, Vesalius, Bacon, etcetera) and the authority of ancient texts produced the very notion of modernity, the extended and expanding geography of ancient Rome becomes, for Shakespeare and the Elizabethans, a privileged arena in which to question the nature of bodies and the place they hold in a changing order of the universe. …”

“…In unique ways, each of the several contributions to this volume recognises the trans-corporeality of touch to traverse the boundaries on the body and entangle other bodies and spaces, thus challenging the very notion of corporeal integrity and human being…”

“…These new visions appear to be more complex than older visions of nature and at the same time they seem to challenge our notions of authenticity. "New Visions of Nature" focuses on the emergence of these new visions of complex nature in three domains. …”

“…Second, can we do justice to a particular writer’s notion of that category by taking at face value what he writes about his own motivation for adopting it? …”

“…The second part examines the role of general topology in the context of metric spaces and includes the notions of homotopy and degree. The third and final part is a discussion on Banach spaces of continuous functions, Hilbert spaces and the spectral theory of compact operators. …”

“…With this goal in mind, the pace is lively, yet thorough. Basic notions of independence and conditional expectation are introduced relatively early on in the text, while conditional expectation is illustrated in detail in the context of martingales, Markov property and strong Markov property. …”

“…The investigation is based on the fundamental notion that allegorical structures in historical dramas refer to the time at which a given work is created. …”

“…Within bilingual populations, the notion of language proximity (or linguistic distance) is also of key importance for deriving variation. …”

“…Inspired by Nelson Mandela and South Africa's robust achievements in human rights, this book argues that the notion of restorative justice is integral to the proper functioning of participatory democracy and belongs to the moral architecture of any decent society. …”

“…Eight individual chapters undertake explorations into ways in which theories and practices of medicine in the German-speaking world have come to define the human, and highlight how such theories and practices have consolidated, or undermined, notions of humane behaviour. Cultural analysis is central to this investigation, foregrounding the reflection, refraction and indeed creation of these theories and practices in literature, life-writing and other discourses and media. …”
