A singularidade do sujeito nas pesquisas qualitativas
Authors: Almeida Danielle Pereira de , Villegas Graterol Maria Margarita , González Fredy Enrique
Published: February 2024

Os estudos de natureza qualitativa são uma escolha de muitos pesquisadores da área da educação e se configuram como um campo amplo de estudos. Nesse sentido, optamos por focar em um dos aspectos inerentes a pesquisa qualitativa, a singularidade do sujeito. Tal escolha se deu em virtude do entendimento de que os aspectos subjetivos e singulares dos sujeitos são elementos fundamentais para estudos dessa natureza. Considerando tais pressupostos, realizamos uma revisão teórico conceitual acerca dos principais conceitos envolvidos no tema, com o objetivo de compreender os significados da singularidade do sujeito na Pesquisa qualitativa. Para tal, discutimos os conceitos de sujeito, singularidade e intersubjetividade, bem como, tecemos discussões sobre a pesquisa qualitativa, suas características e como estas se relacionam com o sujeito singular. A partir dessa discussão tornou-se evidente que a singularidade do sujeito está estritamente relacionada às características da pesquisa qualitativa e se expressa através de atributos únicos, mas também, carrega traços sociais, históricos e culturais que são de interesse dessa abordagem de pesquisa e requerem um olhar atento e sensível do pesquisador. Acreditamos que o diálogo proferido pode contribuir de maneira significativa para a ampliação do conhecimento nesse campo de estudos.
Alternative indicators for assessing structural shifts in the economy
Authors: ROMANOVA Tetiana , DAVYDENKO Liudmyla
Published: February 2024

Introduction. Structural changes require a comprehensive assessment of their parameters, since the level of reflection of such analytical data depends on the understanding of the process of transformation of the economic system, and, consequently, the possibility of intensifying the formation of trends in economic development. Depending on the objectives of the analysis, as well as on the amount of available statistical or other necessary information, it is possible to use indices, coefficients and other indicators that identify structural changes in the economy, which are most adapted to the needs of consolidating analytical data. The priority of choosing one or another indicator of structural shifts should be based on parallel comparative calculations of adjacent indices in order to most clearly reflect the processes under study.
The purpose of the paper is to study the methodological foundations and features of the use of alternative coefficients for the analysis and assessment of structural changes in the economy.
Results. Structural shifts in the economy are the change in the state of related elements of the economic system at different levels of its functioning that are accompanied by qualitative changes in their relationship and are characterized by fluctuations in proportion of their ratio, expressed in quantitative characteristics, which may be due to endo - and exogenous factors. Methods of evaluation of structural changes can be divided into four groups: basic indicators; differentiated indicators; integral coefficients; alternative and baseline indicators of the optimal structure of the economy. The methodical bases of the evaluation of structural shifts in the economy based on integrated groups of indicators, proposals to the methodology of evaluation of some integral coefficients had researched. The paper examines the methodical bases for assessing structural shifts in the economy on the basis of allocation and interpretation of an alternative group of indicators, proposes to improve the methodology for determining some coefficients.
Conclusion. It is substantiated that the deepening of research on methods for assessing structural changes in the economy is a necessary prerequisite for the formation of effective directions for managing the structure of the economy and is an important element in ensuring the comprehensive development of the national economy.

The paper delivers a comprehensive historical and ethnographic study of the natural and architectural landscape of the village of Kushereka, Onega District (Uyezd) of the Arkhangelsk Province. Back in the early 20th century, in the church community this village was known as “the center of the Schism”. The authors look into a system of landscape and architectural materials and narrative texts that preserve and convey collective (regional) historical memory. The field research conducted in 1996–1999 and 2019–2020 revealed the transformation of historical memory from the period of the village’s thriving to its current state. The key events in the historical experiences of the local residents were recorded and interpreted through the lens of universal folklore motives. The laws of creation and transmission of historical memory are revealed in the texts (speech), in the architecture, in everyday practices. The architectural history of the village and its layout, reconstructed based on archival data, are also regarded as a source of historical memory. The specific features of speech in the descriptions of the churches testify to the same value and semantic coordinates of culture as the oral tradition. The study carries methodological value for revealing “the idea of place” of local territories, as well as practical significance for the reconstruction of sociocultural and architectural landscapes of an abandoned Pomor settlement.
Phenomenon of Identity: Culturological Analysis of the Works by P. Ricoeur and M. Kundera

Comprehensive study of identity makes observable the very person of researcher and thus switches us from the question ’what?’ onto ‘who?’. Social practices and cultural values find reflection in literature, which serves a perfect source for studying various issues of culture, including the phenomenon of identity. Cultural and philosophical reasonings and ideas of Kundera provide a valuable insight into understanding of multi-faceted nature of identity. Ricoeur, who created the theory of narrative identity, establishes addressing to the literature in terms of the study of human selfhood. Both Kundera and Ricoeur were acutely sensitive towards the issues of modern culture and tried, each in his own way, to solve them — Ricoeur through philosophy, Kundera — by means of the novel, both noting the importance of the fiction in the study of identity. The writer believes that European art and, first and foremost, the novel was instrumental in shaping of man as personality, promoted readers` interest towards the others around and to different views of the world. The notion of narrative identity is, for sure, applicable not only towards the fiction but the culture as a whole, which is woven out of the stories being told and transferred across generations. The works of Ricoeur, on the one hand, act as an important theoretical basis for studying the issue of identity in the work of Kundera and on the other, Kundera`s reflections about the phenomenon of the novel, its structure, functions and poetics may serve a worthy addition and perfect illustration of of Ricoeur`s idea of narrative identity.
“Indirect Speech of the Non-material”: Hieroglyph and Symbol in the Philosophical and Aesthetic Works of J. Druskin
Authors:   Russian State Social University, Temirshina Olesya R.
Published: February 2024

The paper discusses the reconstruction of Druskin's ideas about hieroglyph as a sign of special ontological category with a projection on the philosophical and religious category of the symbol developed in the philosophy of A. F. Losev and P. Florensky. A comparison of a symbol and a hieroglyph showed the dependence of the organization of their semantics on ontology. Thus, the work proves that both the symbol and the hieroglyph, being derivatives of Christological concepts, are similar in structural and functional aspects. At the structural level, symbol and hieroglyph, removing the opposition between spiritual and the material, establish relations of asymmetric identity; at the functional level, symbol and hieroglyph allow to directly embody the logic of another being in one or another material substratum. The paper argues that the concept of Druskin's hieroglyph should be considered in terms of the concept of unilateral synthetic identity, which goes back to the Christian idea of the impossible alloy and inseparability. In this context, Druskin's hieroglyph models the Logos, associated not with the ontology of the incarnation of the spirit in matter, but with the actualization of spiritual meanings in the material of a work of art. Thus, the study showed that the hieroglyph, on the one hand, is part of Druskin's semiotic-ontological universe, and on the other hand, turns out to be a phenomenon structurally and functionally related to the symbol in its philosophical and religious interpretation.
The Category of “Everyday Life” in the Christmas Stories of I. S. Shmelev and Archpriest Alexander Shantaev (Based on the Stories “Christmas in Moscow” and “On Holiday”)
Authors:   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, Leonov Ivan S.
Published: February 2024

The paper examines the stories of I. S. Shmelev “Christmas in Moscow” and Archpriest A. Shantaev “On Holiday” with the purpose of identifying the specifics of the category of everyday life reflected in them. A special perspective is associated with the analysis of the features of Orthodox-church everyday life, recreated by authors belonging to various periods of the 20 – early 21 centuries. The research is based on the concept of the German scientist B. Waldenfels about the comparison of “the everyday” as predictable and orderly, and the opposite phenomenon that transcends the boundaries of the familiar world — the non-everyday (“above-everyday”). In the works of I. S. Shmelev and A. Shanaev, focused on the image of the sacred Christmas time and space, there is an obvious relationship between the everyday and the above-everyday. There is a gradual transformation of reality from the social and everyday aspects of the celebration of the Holiday to its sacralization, associated with the actualization of the natural-symbolic, evangelical, liturgical and liturgical contexts. A special role belongs to the temple locus, which becomes a space for the character to overcome the “temporary”, “everyday” and connect it with the “above-everyday”, interpreted in the context of Orthodox anthropology and axiology. In addition, A. Shantaev's story “On Holiday” highlights the issue of existence at the junction of the everyday / above-everyday by the example of the image of protagonist, in which both the features of an ordinary villager of the late Soviet period and the biblical prophet are revealed.
Ivan Goncharov as an Object of Poetic Reflection
Authors:   Smolensk State University, Pavlova Larisa V. , Romanova Irina V. ,   Smolensk State University
Published: February 2024

The paper presents an analysis of references to I. A. Goncharov in Russian poetry. The study materials were poetic works from the beginning of the 1850s to the second half of the twentieth century, in which the name of the writer is mentioned. The research did not deal with the texts containing only references to the works of I. A. Goncharov. The “Goncharov” poetic subcorpus does not record an assessment of the creative manner of the writer, and with rare exceptions (N. A. Nekrasov) his famous novels are not mentioned. Russian poetry addresses Goncharov primarily not as a writer, but as a writer involved in public life. In poems, he appears first of all as a traveler and the author of the essays “Frigate Pallada”, and secondly as a participant in literary battles, censor and editor. As a novelist, he attracts the attention of poets not from the artistic, but from the commercial side, since his contemporaries were haunted by his high fees. There are warm mentions of Goncharov as a friend and teacher, including faceless odic enthusiastic assessments. In the poem by D. D. Minaev, I. A. Goncharov is portrayed already as a parody character, placed in hell and endowed with Oblomov features.

Published: February 2024

This paper displays the results of the analysis of the lexical component of onyms in the novel “Women's Wind” by D. Rubina. The author is a representative of modern prose. In terms of study of the current state of the Russian language as an independent system, it is important to analyze the lexical layer of works written in the 21st century. The novel “Women's Wind” is one of the relatively new Dina Rubina's works (written in 2017). The novel, like her other works, is distinguished by unique style of presentation, rich lexical composition. The novel is equally distinct in lexical, semantic and stylistic diversity of the author's thesaurus, which is a response to the peculiarities of the mentality of society as a whole and determines the relevance of the study. The scientific novelty of the research is presented as one of the parts of a general study of proper names in the texts of D. Rubina's works. The main purpose of the paper is to consider the onyms of the novel “Women's Wind” in the space of the text and, as the narrative develops, their role in the formation of the images of the novel. In the course of the study the following tasks were solved: the onyms of the novel “Women's Wind”, revealed during the analysis of the text, were examined and distributed into thematic groups and subgroups in accordance with a statistical filling; the analysis of the above-mentioned lexical units from the point of view of cultural-historical aspect in general in the context of the main character's life circumstances was carried out.
Pagan Manifestation of the 21st Century (2022: Results and Prospects). Article I
Authors:   Baltic Federal University, Shizhensky Roman V. ,   Lobachevsky State University
Published: February 2024

Modern Slavic paganism is in a stage of constant development, continuous transformation. Since the first ideologues of the movement appeared (in the last third of the 1970s) the Soviet, and subsequently the Russian new paganism has managed to build intra-communal hierarchies, organizational ties of all-republican and international scale. Most pagan communities now have their own mythology, including cosmogony, theogony and end-of-the-world concepts. The leaders of the associations formulated and tested the festive-ritual system, the author’s concepts (utopias), revealing the views of young pagans on political and socio-economic development within and outside the existing state. Special attention should be paid to the new pagan “fashion”: specially developed branded clothing, narrowly specialized “ethno-mythological” tattoo, catalogs of protective (amulet) products. Despite the presence of the listed elements, allowing to consider the modern paganism from the position of the established world-outlook system, external and internal challenges oblige carriers of pre-Abrahamic religiosity to turn to the search for solutions in terms of “non-stop” timing. This paper is based on the analysis of the answers of ideologues and leaders of a number of pagan groups, considers forecasts, prospects for the development of Slavic religious nativism in the near future by 2022

The literary connections between these major writers have always been a subject of interest and study by researchers. In the works of foreign (I. Gaek, F. Burianek, I. Adamovich, etc.) and domestic (V. Shcherbina, O. M. Malevich, I. A. Bernstein, E. N. Kovtun, etc.) literary critics, the biography, the system of philosophical views, the creative path and the works of Karel Chapek and Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy have been thoroughly considered. However, the present paper is primarily focusing on research which deal with the comparative analysis of the work of these contemporary writers. There are few such works, and all of them are mostly discussing the influence of the socio-political views and positions of these two authors on their works. Out study will highlight and consider the main papers dedicated to the literary relations of K. Chapek and A. N. Tolstoy, summarizing and analyzing the views of researchers.

Money is one of the symbols of material wealth. From the images on modern banknotes and coins, one can study the history and culture of the people of a particular country, as well as learn about their values and traditions. The paper presents a study of the use of images and symbols in modern banknotes of European countries in circulation in 2021. The purpose of the research is a quantitative analysis of images and symbols in the design of European banknotes, using methods of mathematical statistics. This study examined 294 types of obverses and reverses of European banknotes. During the analysis, the absolute and relative frequency of occurrence of groups of images and symbols on the obverses of banknotes were calculated. The authors classified and grouped all symbols on banknotes according to common characteristics, collected statistics on the occurrence of groups of symbols on European banknotes, and displayed statistics on the frequency of use of colors in European banknotes. The study resulted in identifying the trends in the use of images and symbols in modern European banknotes. Many signs and symbols depicted on European banknotes have positive semantics; such semantics may be used in other types of design.
P. M. Bitsilli and Eurasianists: Different Visions of Culture
Authors:   Institute of History, Political and Social Sciences, Antoshchenko Aleksandr V.
Published: February 2024

The author examines the relationship between P. M. Bitsilli and the leading representatives of the emerging Eurasianism in the first half of the 1920s, when their sense of the catastrophic changes caused by the First World War and the revolution in Russia morphed into integral worldviews. The methodological basis of the study is a communicative approach to their intellectual contacts, which generates the meanings of their perception of cultural changes in the past and present. At the same time, the paper notes the difference in the understanding of these meanings by each of the participants in communication, depending on his intellectual position or the so-called “point of view”. The sources for the research were not only their published works, but also the epistolary heritage of the studied intellectuals. The participation of P. M. Bitsilli in the early Eurasian compendia became possible thanks to G. V. Florovsky, with whom he shared a common idea of the free creativity of the individual as the basis for changing culture, which made the historical process unpredictable. However, the leader of the Eurasianists N. S. Trubetskoy believed that the activities of the cultural “upper” strata of society should be rooted in the culture of the “lower” classes, which deprived it of a creative character. Thus, the individualization of the achievements of culture and the understanding of their creators, on which P. M. Bitsilli insisted, came into conflict with the system-structural consideration of culture by N. S. Trubetskoy. Disagreements intensified even more when the Eurasianists had been joined by L. P. Karsavin, who considered it possible to construct an “average representative” of the cultural era. P. M. Bitsilli could not agree with such an approach, since it made possible only the explanation of the external manifestations of culture, but did not allow understanding the creators of cultural values. As a result, it was the difference in the vision of the subject and methods of cultural research that led P. M. Bitsilli to diverge from the Eurasianists, but not their political contradictions, as some researchers believe.

Published: February 2024

This article deals with the study of predicting the confinement effect of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) on concrete cylinder strength using metaheuristics-based artificial neural networks. A detailed database of 708 CFRP confined concrete cylinders is developed from previously published research with information on eight parameters, including geometrical parameters like the diameter (d) and height (h) of a cylinder, unconfined compressive strength of concrete (f_co^'), thickness (nt), the elastic modulus of CFRP (Ef), unconfined concrete strain (?_co), confined concrete strain (?_cc) and the ultimate compressive strength of confined concrete (f_cc^'). Three metaheuristic models are implemented, including particle swarm optimization (PSO), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and bat algorithm (BA). These algorithms are trained on the data using an objective function of mean square error, and their predicted results are validated against experimental studies and finite element analysis. The study shows that the hybrid PSO model predicted the strength of CFRP-confined concrete cylinders with a maximum accuracy of 99.13% and GWO predicted the results with an accuracy of 98.17%. The high accuracy of axial compressive strength predictions demonstrated that these prediction models are a reliable solution to the empirical methods. The prediction models are especially suitable for avoiding full-scale, time-consuming experimental tests that make the process quick and economical.
A British Military Engineer, the Ganga and the Spectre of Control in Colonial Northern India (1839–1854)
Authors: RANJAN RAHUL
Published: February 2024

Much has been written about environmental and agrarian history in South Asia. These documented histories provide a fascinating overview of structural changes brought about through infrastructural development and modes of colonial governance. However, specific and advanced forms of intervention were introduced in the nineteenth century, which was defined by the accelerated scale of exploitation of the environment. This article offers an account of the Ganga Canal, constructed in mid-nineteenth century colonial India, under British engineer Proby Cautley, by drawing water from the river Ganga. The paper revisits his motivations and challenges and the scope of his plan to make two arguments. First, it argues that the engineering model of Cautley reflects his deeper entanglement with the ideals of colonial modernity, such as controlling the natural world. Second, the colossal scale of hydrological experimentation through the processes of canal construction, in turn, transformed the imagination of the river into an object.
THE CONSUMERS PERCEPTIONS OF EMPLOYER AND SERVICE BRAND EQUITY’S: THE EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS
Authors: Ščiukauskė Indrė , Romeika Giedrius , Šarkiūnaitė Ingrida
Published: February 2024

While the traditional components of employer brand equity are applied in the context of an organization’s employees, this study sought to assess a hitherto unexplored context – the extent to which employer brand equity impacts on consumers of an organization’s service brand rather than the target audience. The two research objectives were: 1) to identify the specific dimensions of both employer and perceived service brand equities 2) to assess the relationship between them and consumer behavioral intentions. The study was based on quantitative data of 526 respondents, using both Exploratory (EFA), Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings confirmed the 3 (employer brand image, reputation, and awareness) and 4 (service brand image, perceived quality, service brand awareness, brand loyalty) factors of employer and service brand equities respectively. The study revealed the employer brand equity significant relationship with service brand equity, but the lack of direct effect on consumers’ behavioral intentions. The research is novel as it assesses the employer brand equity’s impact not only on the service brand’s overall perceived equity, but also on consumers’ behavioral intentions, by examining the impact on two different groups (existing and potential service brand consumers).

Published: February 2024

Filamentous fungi, microorganisms that develop and are located in different habitats, are considered important producers of enzymes and metabolites with potential for the biotechnology industry. The objective of this work was to isolate and identify filamentous fungi that grow in used oil. Two fungal species were characterised through their morphology and molecular identification. The DNA of each extracted strain was amplified by PCR using primers ITS1 and ITS4, obtaining sequences that were later in GenBank (NCBI). A white coloured strain (HB) with a cottony, white, hyaline morphology and irregular borders was observed; so too, a brown colony (HC) with a sandy surface, a well-defined border of beige colour in early growth until it became a dark brown colour. The identity result by homology of the sequences in the BLASTn database was 100% and 99.55%, indicating that they correspond to Cladosporium tenuissimum and Fomitopsis meliae, respectively. Finally, the results in lipolytic activity show greater potential for Fomitopsis meliae with 0.61 U/l in residual oil. Thus, it is important to highlight the potential of this type of waste to favour the prospection of microorganisms for a sustainable alternative for future studies of biological conversion.

How does digital payment affect international trade? Research based on the social network analysis method
Authors: Li Zhenghui , Chen Hanzi , Lu Siting , Failler Pierre
Published: February 2024

Digital payment is one of the latest trendsin modern payment systems; its development has a profound impact on international trade relations and the international trade status of countries. We constructed an international trade network by using global commodity trade data to measure countries' international trade status. Based on this, we used panel data from 25 countries for the period between 2012 and 2020 and employed a fixed-effect model to test the relationship between digital payment and international trade status. Empirical results show that, first, the development of digital payment can effectively enhance a country's international trade status. Second, digital payment strengthens international trade connections by lowering barriers to cross-border capital flows, thereby improving a country's international trade status. Third, the effect of digital payment on enhancing international trade status varies across countries with different degrees of trade openness. The findings of this study provide theoretical support for the development of digital payment and international trade.

The purpose of this paper was to prove that a novel algorithm with an inertial approach, used to generate an iterative sequence, strongly converges to a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping in a real uniformly convex Banach space with a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. Furthermore, zeros of accretive mappings were obtained. The proposed algorithm has been implemented and tested via numerical simulation in MATLAB. The simulation results showed that the algorithm converges to the optimal configurations and shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Ultra-short-term forecasting model of power load based on fusion of power spectral density and Morlet wavelet
Authors: Liang Lihe , Cui Jinying , Zhao Juanjuan , Qiang Yan , Yang Qianqian
Published: February 2024

An accurate ultra-short-term time series prediction of a power load is an important guarantee for power dispatching and the safe operation of power systems. Problems of the current ultra-short-term time series prediction algorithms include low prediction accuracy, difficulty capturing the local mutation features, poor stability, and others. From the perspective of series decomposition, a multi-scale sequence decomposition model (TFDNet) based on power spectral density and the Morlet wavelet transform is proposed that combines the multidimensional correlation feature fusion strategy in the time and frequency domains. By introducing the time-frequency energy selection module, the "prior knowledge" guidance module, and the sequence denoising decomposition module, the model not only effectively delineates the global trend and local seasonal features, completes the in-depth information mining of the smooth trend and fluctuating seasonal features, but more importantly, realizes the accurate capture of the local mutation seasonal features. Finally, on the premise of improving the forecasting accuracy, single-point load forecasting and quantile probabilistic load forecasting for ultra-short-term load forecasting are realized. Through the experiments conducted on three public datasets and one private dataset, the TFDNet model reduces the mean square error (MSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) by 19.80 and 11.20% on average, respectively, as compared with the benchmark method. These results indicate the potential applications of the TFDNet model.
A two-stage grasp detection method for sequential robotic grasping in stacking scenarios
Authors: Zhang Jing , Yin Baoqun , Zhong Yu , Wei Qiang , Zhao Jia , Bilal Hazrat
Published: February 2024

Dexterous grasping is essential for the fine manipulation tasks of intelligent robots; however, its application in stacking scenarios remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to propose a two-phase approach for grasp detection of sequential robotic grasping, specifically for application in stacking scenarios. In the initial phase, a rotated-YOLOv3 (R-YOLOv3) model was designed to efficiently detect the category and position of the top-layer object, facilitating the detection of stacked objects. Subsequently, a stacked scenario dataset with only the top-level objects annotated was built for training and testing the R-YOLOv3 network. In the next phase, a G-ResNet50 model was developed to enhance grasping accuracy by finding the most suitable pose for grasping the uppermost object in various stacking scenarios. Ultimately, a robot was directed to successfully execute the task of sequentially grasping the stacked objects. The proposed methodology demonstrated the average grasping prediction success rate of 96.60% as observed in the Cornell grasping dataset. The results of the 280 real-world grasping experiments, conducted in stacked scenarios, revealed that the robot achieved a maximum grasping success rate of 95.00%, with an average handling grasping success rate of 83.93%. The experimental findings demonstrated the efficacy and competitiveness of the proposed approach in successfully executing grasping tasks within complex multi-object stacked environments.

Ce numéro, façonné par les travaux de nombreux collaborateurs qui nous ont accompagnés tout au long de ces dix années et qui ont partagé nos passions et nos soucis, est pour la plupart, un témoignage d’amitié. Ainsi, le premier texte aborde un problème plus global qui nous concerne spécifiquement, intitulé “Une défense des humanités : les différentes cultures en dispute”. Dans cet article, Obed Frausto, en accord avec Edward Said, affirme qu’il est nécessaire pour défendre les humanités des multiples attaques qu’elles subissent aujourd’hui, de “donner forme à une approximation humaniste diverse, cosmopolite et enracinée dans le texte et le langage, capable de prendre en charge les grandes leçons du passé, […] sans pour autant perdre de vue les voix émergentes et les courants plus actuels”. Frausto fait alors appel à l’imagination critique en engageant un dialogue entre les différentes cultures. Ce dialogue, de nature interdisciplinaire, devrait être animé par l’humilité et la recherche de justice envers les plus défavorisés.
Edmée Chandon : femme pionnière, scientifique invisible. Les ressorts de l’injustice épistémique dans le champ astronomique du premier XXe siècle
Authors: Pellarin-Régis Charly
Published: February 2024

Edmée Chandon (1885-1944) entre à l’Observatoire de Paris en 1908 puis devient aide astronome en 1912, ce qui fait d’elle la première femme astronome professionnelle en poste en France. Le 26 mars 1930, elle devient la première Française à soutenir une thèse d’État en sciences mathématiques. Cet article cherche à comprendre comment deux dynamiques, injustice épistémique et mythe de la pionnière, se cristallisent autour de la figure d’Edmée Chandon, et en quoi elles contribuent, in fine, à l’invisibilisation de son apport scientifique. Le fonds Edmée Chandon, conservé à la bibliothèque de l’Observatoire de Paris, permet d’évaluer plus justement son rôle dans la production des savoirs, de se départir du mythe de la pionnière largement véhiculé par la presse et de déjouer les stéréotypes de genre légitimant l’injustice épistémique. Les deux premières parties de l’article analysent les ressorts de cette dynamique d’invisibilisation, tandis qu’une troisième partie propose, en étudiant ses archives de travail, de déconstruire les effets de l’injustice épistémique pour mettre en lumière la place d’Edmée Chandon dans la production scientifique du premier XXe siècle.
Le film au secours du corps de l’adolescent en milieu scolaire : rythmes individuels, rythmes collectifs
Authors: Rivière Benoît
Published: February 2024

En synthétisant les recherches de F. Testu sur la question des rythmes scolaires, R. Sue et M.-F. Caccia expliquent que nous sommes « confrontés à deux rythmicités : l’une ‘environnementale’, imposée par l’adulte ; l’autre ‘endogène’, propre aux élèves »1. La première difficulté, pour l’école, est ainsi d’imposer une même temporalité à tous les enfants et adolescents pour accueillir et permettre la construction de chacun. Par ailleurs, la journée scolaire est partagée entre des moments d’apprentissage et des moments de pause, où se joue un savant équilibre, dans l’esprit des élèves, entre des contraintes (les enseignements) et des moments d’épanouissement (ceux de « la vie juvénile, les amours et les amitiés qui s’y déploient »2). Cette fragmentation des journées ne répond pas, selon plusieurs chercheurs en éducation, aux impératifs d’un temps éducatif « global, inter-relié, et non fragmenté ni compartimenté »3.Il nous semble que cette tension entre rythme scolaire fragmenté et construction adolescente individuelle et non compartimentée motive le sujet de plusieurs films. Dans Entre les murs (L. Cantet, 2008), la caméra prend par exemple le temps de s’attarder sur chaque corps en situation collective d’apprentissage, tout en rendant les frontières entre la salle de classe et l’extérieur poreuses. Par ailleurs, Elephant (G. Van Sant, 2003) offre à chaque adolescent filmé l’opportunité de s’extraire à la fois du rythme scolaire (des errances sans fin dans des couloirs de lycée) et des stéréotypes du teen movie auxquels chacun est a priori associé (le sportif, l’artiste, la marginale…). Nous nous proposons de comprendre précisément comment ces deux films, principalement, construisent une représentation individualisée des corps d’adolescents, là où ceux-ci sont soumis à un rythme « environnemental » qui ne répond pas justement, a priori, aux enjeux éducatifs.
Le Dernier Duel de Ridley Scott : corps médiévaux à l’épreuve du genre
Authors: Masoch Caroline
Published: February 2024

Le présent article se propose d’analyser le film de Ridley Scott Le Dernier Duel, sorti en 2021, sous l’angle du corps genré. Le dernier opus du cinéaste anglais livre une représentation des acteurs de la société médiévale qui prend en compte les études les plus récentes concernant le genre appliqué au Moyen Âge. Le Dernier Duel offre ainsi une vulgarisation réussie de ces mêmes études en respectant les nuances et complexités dont elles font état. Le film témoigne également du regard féminin à l’écran et s’inscrit dans la vision renouvelée du corps féminin à l’écran.
Devenir autonome, encore et en corps, au prisme des œuvres de formation
Authors: Roelens Camille
Published: February 2024

Ce texte propose une réflexion philosophique sur ce qui, dans le processus contemporain de formation de soi comme sujet autonome, touche au rapport à son propre corps. Cette mise en scène du corps d’un individu comme vecteur essentiel de son devenir autonome nous semble s’exprimer de manière exemplaire dans l’œuvre cinématographique La Vie d’Adèle (2013) – libre adaptation par Kechiche du roman graphique de Maroh Le bleu est une couleur chaude (2010). Nous montrons d’abord que le cadre d’analyse du roman de formation, ou Bildungroman, peut s’appliquer – habilement subverti – avec un fort intérêt heuristique à ces deux œuvres (1), et présentons ensuite les défis de formation de soi pour l’individu contemporain que sont l’appropriation subjective du corps et l’apprentissage à se chairir (2). Nous nous concentrons ensuite sur le personnage d’Adèle au cinéma, en contrepoint de celui de Clémentine entre bulles et cases, qui l’a inspiré, et montrons comment Adèle (le personnage) et Adèle Exarchopoulos (son interprète) y incarnent, au sens fort, le devenir individu hypermoderne (3). Nous suggérons enfin l’importance, pour penser au présent la formation de soi, de la multiplication des publications d’œuvres de formation pleinement inscrites dans leur temps hypermoderne et la démocratisation de l’accès aux contenus culturels les plus variés (4).
Révélations et apprentissages : mise en scène des corps en classe dans des « films d’initiation pédagogique » de la Cinémathèque centrale de l’enseignement public (dans les années 50)
Authors: Laborde Barbara
Published: February 2024

Cet article s’appuie sur le fonds de la Cinémathèque centrale de l’enseignement public (CCEP) et s’arrête sur quatre films produits par Intermondia Films, société de production de films pédagogiques dans les années 50. Le corpus sera abordé de manière inductive, dans le sens où c’est par le visionnage de ces films et l’analyse audiovisuelle de leur contenu que j’ai pu remarquer des récurrences, des redondances, une sorte de « schéma narratif » structurant qui permet de problématiser leur existence et leurs enjeux dans la sphère pédagogique. L’analyse de ces films de classe passe par l’étude du dispositif audiovisuel qu’ils engagent : placement des caméras, choix des plans, mise en scène des protagonistes, échanges verbaux. Elle s’appuie également sur les références sociologiques qui permettent de mieux interpréter cette mise en scène des corps dans la classe, normés par une relation pédagogique dont le film se fait reflet et symptôme.
« Voir le mouvement » par une « image du mouvement » : éducation et représentation du mouvement, entre science, art et euphorie chez Georges Demenÿ à partir de 1900
Authors: Gueden Marie
Published: February 2024

À partir des écrits de Georges Demenÿ autour de 1900 sur l’éducation du mouvement, entre art et science, on examine comment le corps en transformation de la jeune fille et du jeune garçon chez un pionnier du cinéma, par ailleurs gymnaste et pédagogue, fait l’objet d’une construction et s’exprime tant par des discours et des pratiques que des représentations graphiques à appréhender en regard des modélisations graphiques mareysiennes : ces images du mouvement sont moins théoriques que pratiques et axiologiques, dotées d’une haute valeur éducative, servant à perfectionner la vision du mouvement et l’éducation à l’aisance, en vue d’un sentiment de bien-être général, l’euphorie.
L’enfant et la ville : deux exemples de bandes dessinées tout public (1992-2020)
Authors: Motard-Noar Martine
Published: February 2024

Cette étude, limitée à deux séries de bande dessinée contemporaines pour les jeunes de 9 ans et plus, Titeuf (1992-2021), de Zep et Lou ! (2004-2020), de Julien Neel, se propose d’analyser la complexité de la représentation de l’enfant dans la ville. Même s’ils sont dessinés de manière typique et générique pour le genre en question, l’espace de la rue et de la ville, les magasins et les immeubles entrent clairement en jeu dans la case de bande dessinée comme support de la narration. Il s’agit en cela d’un « décor-actant ». Les balcons et le toit « à l’américaine » chez Neel représentent en outre un lieu de l’entre-deux, entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur, et ouvrent ainsi le champ de l’action. De plus, ces bandes dessinées contemporaines tout public semblent refléter ce qui est, après tout, un genre foncièrement urbain car tous ces héros habitent la ville et se placent résolument dans ce contexte. Néanmoins, les séries de Lou ! et Titeuf finissent par indiquer, au bout de plusieurs albums, la valeur de ce qui se trouve en dehors de la ville : la nature, vue comme formation initiatique, processus d’éducation et d’évolution pour les pré-adolescents.
Ruines, dévoration végétale et cité magique : la ville comme miroir de l’enfant dans Le chant du troll
Authors: Maurin Florie
Published: February 2024

Roman illustré destiné à la jeunesse, Le chant du troll, de Pierre Bottero et Gilles Francescano, met en lumière le voyage d’une fillette, Léna, qui abandonne progressivement le monde des vivants pour gagner un ailleurs. En raison d’un mystérieux « basculement », l’enfant voit la ville dans laquelle elle a vécu être sauvagement envahie par la nature. Cette dévoration végétale, qui contribue à créer des fissures dans les espaces, est signifiante : elle rend compte des déchirements des personnages et, en premier lieu, de celui de Léna. Si sa ville se fracture peu à peu, la petite fille trouve toutefois une voie de salut dans une cité magique. Ce sont ces différents espaces – urbains, naturels et merveilleux – que nous nous proposons d’étudier au prisme d’une analyse symbolique, révélatrice du jeu de miroir instauré dans l’œuvre.
