Francophonie et enjeux: États des lieux et perspectives
Authors: Simpore Karim 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The francophone organization is at a turning point in its history in a perspective of a global context that is undergoing changes in geopolitical, socio-economic and climatic conditions. Since the second Intergovernmental Conference of Frenchspeaking Countries in March 1970 in Niamey, the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) has never faced so many complex challenges. This concurrent circumstances require the OIF to consider radical restructuring to redefine its long-term objectives and, of course, a reassessment of its mission in order to bring it into synergy with the expectations of more than 220 million individuals in the large francophone family. This article is meant to be considered as a suggestion to the authorities of the Francophonie, to assess the extent of the gaps that need eliminating in order to measure up with the Commonwealth, as an important step forward.
‘Diaspora noire’: De l’état des lieux à une approche comparatiste dans les littératures africaine francophone et afro-américaine
Authors: Adjoumani A. Mia Élise 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This article is a contribution to the debate on the relevance and actuality of the use of the term ‘black diaspora’ to refer to black populations scattered throughout the world. Limited to the African American population and that of the African diaspora in Europe, the analysis aims to examine the concept of ‘black diaspora’ through a comparative reading of African and African American fictional texts. The fundamental question is whether the term diaspora, supposing ‘the maintenance of a community consciousness beyond dispersal’, can gather Africans and African Americans, knowing that the link of these one with Africa goes back several centuries. The hypothesis developed in this reflection is that this filiation, rather than being analysed with regard to the upholding and maintenance of african origins, could be sought in the current living conditions of these two populations.
Les éléments de témoignage et d’identité dans les récits d’auteurs vietnamiens
Authors: Pham Van Quang 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to re-examine the stories of francophone Vietnamese authors in an interdisciplinary perspective. It will be a question of putting them back in their writing conditions to release their social and historical functions as well as their role in the reconstruction of the personal identity. Thus, this study will focus on two main dimensions of the narratives: on the one hand, as narrative discourse, the stories of these authors participate in the testimonial writing, in which the subject appears as a witness, an observer of his life and society, and on the other hand, this testimonial writing inevitably implies a way of designating and reassessing existence, so it is a process of re-configuring individual identity in the narrative.

From a death of self to a rebirth of community: Yolande Mukagasana’s ‘Connective’ testimonies in response to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda
Authors: Brown Heidi 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Originally a nurse, Yolande Mukagasana became a survivor, author and playwright following the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. La Mort ne veut pas de moi (Mukagasana and May 1997) and N’aie pas peur de savoir (Mukagasana and May 1999), her two autobiographical accounts written with Patrick May, articulate a breakdown in her physical, mental and emotional faculties, an inability to distinguish between self and other, and a death of self. Mukagasana gives an oral version of her testimony in Rwanda ’94. In this theatrical production, she conveys unspeakable elements of her experience – including a death of self – in a non-verbal manner, wherein her body language and position acquire their meaning in relation to others onstage. In Les Blessures du silence (Mukagasana and Kazinierakis 2001), Mukagasana’s experiences are also revealed and situated in relation to others through her interviews with ninety survivors and perpetrators in Rwanda. Overall, Mukagasana’s testimonies are interdependent, collaborative and dialogic. She employs other people’s voices and bodies to articulate her own experiences, and often communicates meaning through her position in relation to others. These ‘connective’ testimonies allow Mukagasana to compensate for a death of self and continue narrating even when she cannot speak in the first-person; they also allow her to rebuild social bonds and re-integrate into community.
Les handicapés dans l’imaginaire de Fatou Diome: Une relecture de Celles qui attendent
Authors: Anih Uchenna Bethrand 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Today, disability is a recognized issue globally, popular and quite widespread in various disciplines. A lot of work is done to highlight the difficulties and rights of disabled people. Literature reflects this reality by representing the sufferings, needs and progress of disabled people. Most discussions of disability have focused mainly on the physical aspect and little attention has been paid to other varieties of disability, such as social and legal. This article is an attempt to fill this gap. It analyses Fatou Diome’s Celles qui attendent and the other dimensions of disability that inspired the novelist. Using the legal approach proposed by Oladitan to explore literary texts and liberation literary principles also advocated by Oladitan, this study proposes to contextualize and categorize the characters of Diome as disabled people deprived from their fundamental rights and demonstrates the strategies of liberation adopted by disabled people.
Impérialismes Alternatifs: Le cosmopolitisme dans Kamal Jann (2012) de Dominique Eddé
Authors: Khoury Mona El 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Through the contemporary story of two Syrian brothers, whose tragic destinies lead one to death and the other to a mental institution, Eddé’s 2012 novel is not only prophetic in foreseeing the decomposition of the Syrian regime, but it is also a compelling reflection on what cosmopolitanism means for Middle Easterners today. This article examines how the Jann brothers can be interpreted as the two flips of the same coin, called capitalist imperialism: a brilliant lawyer working in Manhattan, Kamal, the older one, is the perfect cosmopolitan, in the modern European sense of the term, while his brother, Mourad, has become a jihadist fundamentalist who is about to commit a terrorist attack in Paris. The novel deconstructs the modern ideal of cosmopolitanism, based on Kant’s philosophy, and fleshed out through postmodern and postcolonial discourses, while suggesting that globalization has, in fact, not produced a new cosmos but rather that it renews colonial divisions in new ways: on the one hand, there are ‘recyclable men’ (like Kamal, the useful – or, in the capitalist rhetoric, ‘successful’ – Arab), and on the other hand, there are ‘disposable men’ (like Mourad, who wants to destroy his life himself), who, after having been exploited and then rejected by the system become ‘perishable’ tools for the advance of a competing cosmopolitanism (as another form of imperialism), grounded in the Islamic fundamentalist ideology and made possible by global capitalism.
Deconstructing nostalgia for a fairy-tale Algerian past in Rachid Boudjedra’s literature
Authors: Remache Abdelghani 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This article analyses the methods that Rachid Boudjedra uses to deconstruct some common myths surrounding the making of the ‘Algerian national identity’. It examines the burgeoning, in the background of the author’s very first novels, of a maleficent fundamentalist ideology seen as the product of a surreptitious alliance and undertakings between the ‘Membres Secrets du Clan’ represented by the Algerian regime and the ‘faux dévots’ represented by the Islamic fundamentalists to rule over Algeria. The article also points to the motives that led Rachid Boudjedra to use classical Arabic in his commitment to win over sympathy and support of a hostile Arab-speaking critical reception. Finally, it addresses Boudjedra’s various techniques of demythifiying nostalgia for a fairy-tale Algerian past.
Depicting French Caribbean migration through bande dessinée
Authors: Wimbush Antonia 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In the post-war era, Europe relied on Caribbean migration to strengthen its work force, and France was no exception. From 1962 to 1983, 160,000 men and women migrated from Guadeloupe and Martinique to mainland France through the BUMIDOM (Bureau pour le développement des migrations dans les départements d’outre-mer). Technically speaking, these people were not immigrants because they remained in France despite undertaking a transatlantic voyage. However, the experiences of French Caribbeans in metropolitan France are almost always described as experiences of immigration. There is a distinct lack of Frenchlanguage literature that discusses this state-organized migration, in contrast to a relatively large corpus of texts by anglophone authors (such as Sam Selvon) that examines Caribbean migration to the United Kingdom. This article argues that bande dessinée fills the gap in representations of migration through an analysis of Péyi an nou, written by Jessica Oublié and illustrated by Marie-Ange Rousseau in 2017. Drawing on semiotic approaches to bande dessinée advocated by Laurence Grove, the article contends that Péyi an nou has successfully raised the visibility of migration from the French Caribbean, despite failing to make full advantage of the ways in which meaning is conveyed through the interaction of textual and visual layers.
Who killed Marthe Bonnard? Madness, morbidity and Pierre Bonnard’s The Bath
Authors: Wallace Louise 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
There is an ongoing revaluation of Pierre Bonnard, beginning with a retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou in 1984 and witnessed most recently in ‘Pierre Bonnard; Painting Arcadia’ at the Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco 2016. The resulting body of literature, from reviews to catalogue essays, operates to subsume Bonnard within the modernist canon. However, the gender ambiguities in Bonnard’s practice problematize these attempts to read his paintings using modernist tropes. In particular, his depiction of his wife Marthe Bonnard in the bathtub does not fit easily within the genre of ‘the bather’. Across the Bonnard literature there has been the occultation of a specific woman (Marthe), replacing her with the Ophelia stereotype through an extension of Toril Moi’s ‘death dealing’ binarism. As a consequence of reiterated speculation regarding Marthe’s mental health she continues to be characterized as the neurotic woman disintegrating in the bath/sarcophagus. This article argues that the Bonnard literature creates a deathly and deadly porous woman. Reviewing the weight of gendered metaphoric language the article will offer a reading of the bath series and Bonnard’s late interiors based on the recognition of his difference – a difference that ruptures genre.
Of objecthood and anthropomorphism: Minimalism and painting, Edwina Leapman, visit to studio 17 April 2012
Authors: Key Joan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
During the 1960s British artists were aware of Minimalism’s sculptural and materialist questioning of relational form, and of an American painterly response to this radical aesthetic challenge. The resulting critique of painting’s internal compositional effect of ‘containing’ relational ideas, its problems with illusion and questions about ‘objecthood’ continue to inflect painting as abstract practice. Leapman responds to the rigours of developing a philosophical minimal-materialist practice by exploring various propositions about how process, surface, colour, can be wrought into a painterly motif without disrupting attention to the overall grasp of painted surface. The immediate sensation of painting’s objecthood in Leapman’s work is predicated on binding colour specifically to surface rather than to compositional or relational device. Colour is methodically dispersed across the surface of the painting, registering interest in light, its physics or substance. The impact on the viewer of dynamic warm/cool tonal intervals, organized through different processual concerns at different stages in development of Leapman’s work creates an affective timing in colour’s reception, making real-time optical demands on the viewer as they move around the paintings. The results retain sensitivity to pace and touch, bringing psychological sense to defining resolution.
Parasitical paintings
Authors: Bracey Andrew 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This article will explore three parasitical terms – mooch, commensal and mutualist – as models that can be applied to recent instances of contemporary painting practices that use historical painting as a catalyst for new works. There will be a brief introduction to the terminology of the parasite, the conceptual position of the parasitical painter and to Michel Serres’ notion of the parasite. The research is driven by the perspective of the author’s painting practice, which will be discussed, alongside an analysis of Pavel Büchler, Yelena Popova and Hans-Peter Feldmann’s work, in relation to different types of parasitical painting practices. Artists such as those explored in this text have reached beyond established notions of appropriation to use existing paintings as the primary material in their work. The act of doing something to existing paintings opens up questions over value, re-imag(in)ing, distortion, re-use, rejuvenation, re-evaluation and originality, among many others. The article closes with speculations for future investigation through notions of interrupting the interrupter and the switching of roles from the influenced to the influencer.

The main purpose of this research is to examine the effect of perceived tax understanding, tax penalties, trust in government and law, and nationalism towards taxpayer compliance in paying property tax. Using Slovin formula, 100 respondents were selected as representative sample from the tax payers in Banjar, Indonesia. Data were collected using closed questionnaire and analyzed by multiple linear regression. The results showed that the understanding of tax regulation, tax penalties, and nationalism had significantly positive effect. However, trust in goverment and the law did not significantly affect taxpayer compliance in paying property tax.

The measurement of happiness index in Indonesia was conducted by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) was first released in 2013 based on the result of study and representation of national level estimation. The approach taken is a life satisfaction, in which life satisfaction is believed to reflect the level of happiness. The city of Bandung is one of the cities that initiated the measurement of happiness index in Indonesia. Kampung Braga is one of Kampung Kota that still maintain its existence in the middle of the urban development. The neighborhood of Kampung Braga is considered as slum area and the buildings within break the river border line. According to than phenomena, the research question comes up, "How big is the level of happiness Kampung Braga neighborhood?". Variables used ini this research consist of happiness and spatial variables. The analysis used is descriptive quantitative by weighting and scoring on each variable. Based on the results, the happiness index of Kampung Braga neighborhood is 0.978 which belongs to the category of very happy. In forming proccess of happiness, the affective component contribution is relatively balanced with the cognitive. Spatially, people in RW 04 and RW 08 tend to be happier. This study proves that the people of Kampung Braga have the ability to adapt to the urban environment.
Wsparcie społeczne dla osób z niepełnosprawnością a refleksja nad „dobrą” i „złą” charytatywnością

Difference/disability is associated with limitations in social contacts and the risk of social exclusion. Charity and philanthropy not only are an opportunity for people with disabilities but also pose a threat. The article deals with “positive” and “negative” charities, as well as ethical guidance to these activities. The text asks about the 21st century model of NGOs support for people at risk of social exclusion.
LED for hyperspectral imaging – a new selection method
Authors: Heimpold Tobias , Reifegerste Frank , Drechsel Stefan , Lienig Jens 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has become a sophisticated technique in modern applications such as food analyses, recycling technology, medicine, pharmacy and forensic science. It allows one to analyse both spatial and spectral information from an object. But hyperspectral cameras are still expensive due to their extended wavelength range. The development of new light-emitting diodes (LED) in the recent past enables another approach to HSI using a monochrome camera in combination with a LED-based illumination. However, such a system has a lower spectral resolution. Additionally, the growing supply of LED on the market complicates the selection of LED. In this paper, we propose a new time efficient selection method for the design process of an illumination. It chooses an optimised LED combination from an existing database to match a predefined spectral power distribution. Therefore, an algorithm is used to evaluate various LED combinations. Furthermore, the method considers the spectral behaviour of each LED in dependence of forward current and temperature of the solder point. Our method has already shown promise during the selection process for even spectral distributions which is demonstrated in the study. Additionally, we will show its potential for HSI illuminations.
Lumpen sammeln. Mit Siegfried Kracauer im Dickicht des 19. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Rahden Till van 
Published: September 2018

Zusammenfassung
Siegfried Kracauers 1969 veröffentlichte Studie „Geschichte – Vor den letzten Dingen“ zählt zu den wichtigsten geschichtstheoretischen Arbeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Besonders für Historiker des 19. Jahrhunderts lohnt sich die Auseinandersetzung mit Kracauers ebenso eigensinnniger wie unheroischer Gedankenwelt. Seine Geschichtstheorie bietet sich an, um diese Epoche neu zu entdecken, ein Jahrhundert, das ganz im Zeichen von abstrakten Schlagworten und gewichtigen Gesamtdarstellungen steht, die einschüchtern statt Neugier zu wecken. Gerade für diese Epoche könnte es sich als fruchtbar erweisen, sich von den Großtheorien zu verabschieden, die unser Verständnis prägen. Als Geschichtstheoretiker stand Kracauer den Gewissheiten der Geschichtsphilosophie ebenso skeptisch gegenüber wie dem Szientismus der historischen Sozialwissenschaft. Stattdessen plädierte er dafür, genau hinzuschauen und die historische Wirklichkeit im Detail zu entdecken. Der Verzicht auf letzte Fragen, eindeutige Antworten und analytische Präzision öffnet den Blick für Widersprüche und Paradoxien, Zwischenräume und Ambivalenzen. Für den Historiker als Lumpensammler könnte sich Kracauer dabei als ein störrischer Reisebegleiter und als ein eigensinniger Weggefährte erweisen. Das setzt die Bereitschaft voraus, sich auf Abwege zu begeben, dort wo die Hände schmutzig, die Gedanken verschwommen, aber frei und die Großtheorien fragwürdig werden, um über den Wert der Lumpen nachzudenken, die sich rechts und links des Weges aufstechen lassen.
