Du contexte politique à la production de discours : une analyse organisationnelle du populisme en Europe
EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.21 pp.136-158
AbstractIn this paper we propose an analysis of European populism from the perspective of Quentin Skinner's work. We show how its triptych context-institutional centrality-legality favors a rational analysis of organizations in relation to the propositional value of statements. In this vision, a political phenomenon is understood only in relation to a historical context. After having characterized the issue of institutional decoupling, we shall propose a model exlaining the emergence and spreading of populist movements in Europe.

L'écriture fractale dans Visage retrouvé de Mouawad Wajdi
EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.21 pp.159-175
AbstractA resilient child, a teenager in the quest for the self, an adult of a faltering identity, the protagonist of Visage retrouvé, written by Mouawad Wajdi is a broken individual, in continuous transformation. We underline the fragmentary dimension of this novel, which describes the mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot and the painter J.-C. Meynard. This writing abounds in the representation of the fragmentary, such as : the reconstruction of the self, the encounter with the Other, the fears, the madness, the red, the war, the withdrawal, the hybrid, the death, the exile, the bomb, the face, the memory, or the wolves. We analyze the complexity of the “I” in the novel, who wants to be perceived as a “he”, the fantasies and the visions of the decomposed self, who saves himself through painting.

Les sciences de la nature au service des sciences humaines Thermodynamique, information et comportement humain
EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.21 pp.176-194
AbstractLe fonctionnement et le comportement humains font ordinairement l'objet des sciences humaines. Au-delà, ils peuvent également s'expliquer par les sciences de la nature, en particulier la science physique et sa branche thermodynamique, en lien, notamment, avec les principes de la sélection naturelle. Dans l'ensemble des disciplines des sciences humaines et des sciences de la nature, l'information tient un rôle de tout premier plan et constitue, en ce sens, un lien très affirmé entre ces deux familles de sciences. Human functioning and behavior are usually the subject of human sciences. Beyond this, they can also be explained by the natural sciences, especially physical science and its thermodynamic branch, in connection, in particular, with the principles of natural selection. In all disciplines of the humanities and the natural sciences, information plays a very important role and is, in this sense, a very strong link between these two families of sciences.

Brexit from the viewpoint of Welfare Contradiction
EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.21 pp.195-226
AbstractMany insist that the cause of Brexit(Britain's exit from the European Union: Brexit onwards) was the rush of migrants into the UK. However, they seem to neglect something that exists at a deeper level of this phenomenon. Among the possible causes of Brexit at the deeper level, the UK's welfare contradiction is arguably one of the major ones. Thus, this paper aims to explore the relationship between Brexit and welfare contradiction. This paper suggests that deep and surface structural framework of welfare can be applied as an analytical tool. Based on this analytical tool, this article reinvestigates immigrants' welfare and the related welfare contradiction. It covers the benefits, which are allocated to migrants in the UK based on records of National Insurance numbers, the benefits related to council flats and houses for foreign nationals, and health tourism. After these issues are discussed, this paper re-emphasizes the welfare contradiction, which is a deep structure. The implication is that the right of free movement, driven by the phenomenon of globalization, can force the reorganization of a welfare state system based on state sovereignty. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee the right of movement to the people who are in need, not to impair the welfare state system, rather than to lower the entry barriers as a whole.

Pour une approche moniste et éthique du sujet aphasique
EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.20 pp.3-45
AbstractAfter a short presentation of Medical Ethics and its definitions, we approach this paradigm on a general level, from a brief commentary on the Hippocratic Oath, which is still relevant today. All care actions of health professionals are part of the ethics of this oath. So we think about the problem of health ethics, evoking the multiple disability paradigm and chronic disease: more specifically, we consider the sudden onset of aphasia and the lived experience of the aphasic subject, usually an adult. Hospitalized for three months, on average, he follows a "language rehabilitation" or "cognitive remediation", for at least three years, conceived as a tutorage, in the didactic sense of the term, specifically adapted to adulthood. To support this multidisciplinary reflection, we use the philosophy of Kant, educator and didactician, we study the concepts of respect and dignity, in order to provide to the aphasic person the care best adapted to his state and his psychology.
