Abstract:
Cet article place le compte-rendu du livre d’Aleksandr Potebnja La pensée et le langage [Mysl’ i jazyk] publié par Andrej Belyj en 1910 dans le contexte du développement des approches poétiques originales du langage menées par le poète symboliste et, à sa suite, les formalistes russes. Il s’agit ainsi d’apporter des éléments précis à une hypothèse générale qui postule que l’élaboration d’une nouvelle poétique et d’une «théorie de la littérature» en Russie s’est faite pour une part importante sur la base d’une critique méthodologique du paradigme psychologiste fortement inspirée par l’épistémologie néo-kantienne. Les références explicites à Rickert et àl’école de Bade dans le texte de Belyj – lui-même un jalon essentiel entre le psychologisme de Potebnja et la théorie formaliste – éclairent de façon déterminante leur rôle dans ce processus de critique et de transformation épistémologique.

Abstract:
L'article remet en question le « classicisme juridique », une vision communément partagée selon laquelle le droit civil français demeure, comme depuis la codification, un système purement et profondément formaliste et positiviste, c'est-à-dire cohérent, complet et autonome de même que caractérisé par un raisonnement objectif neutre et rationnel. L'auteure démontre l'existence d'une tradition critique vigoureuse dans la communauté juridique française, laquelle chercha à démanteler l'emprise du classicisme juridique. Ce courant critique a été éclipsé par l'histoire et le contexte culturel du xxe siècle. Plus précisément, l'article est consacré à l'analyse des travaux de deux auteurs, soit le pragmatiste Raymond Saleilles et le théoricien de la méthode François Gény. L'auteure avance l'hypothèse que, avec plusieurs autres juristes de la fin du XIXe siècle, ils formèrent une école de pensée critique en matière de droit privé qu'elle a choisi d'appeler les « juristes inquiets ». Elle examine la critique interne et externe des juristes inquiets, ainsi que la vision innovatrice qu'ils proposèrent pour renouveler la tradition juridique.

Abstract:
La forme interne du mot et le rapport entre le langage et la pensée, deux formes centrales dans la réflexion de Potebnja, préoccupent Jakobson dès le début de ses activités scientifiques. Dans sa première monographie La poésie russe contemporaine, elles sont déjà implicitement présentes (incluant la relation entre la notion de «littérarité» et la forme interne du mot), comme l’a démontré Viktor Vinogradov dans son compte-rendu de cet ouvrage, où il qualifie Jakobson de subjectiviste dilettante pour ses emprunts à Potebnja. Des mentions explicites de Potebnja et de son rôle dans la pensée philologique formaliste et structuraliste de Jakobson prennent chez celui-ci diverses formes, à commencer par un refus catégorique à l’époque du Cercle linguistique de Moscou jusqu’à donner à Potebnja, dans les travaux de Jakobson des années 1930, le statut de précurseur du formalisme, au même titre que Andrej Belyj et Aleksandr Veselovskij. Dans mon article, j’entreprends de dégager et de repenser certaines appréciations des textes de Potebnja dans les travaux de Jakobson, appréciations qui témoignent aussi bien des méthodes qu’emploie Jakobson pour soumettre les apports intellectuels des prédécesseurs à ses propres intentions que de sa critique créatrice d’images et de contenus des conceptions adverses (psychologisme, herbartisme, etc.).

Abstract:
Cet article se propose d’étendre le modèle de la transphonographie, mis au point par Serge Lacasse en référence à la théorie de la transtextualité de Gérard Genette, en y ajoutant la notion de phonographie « restreinte » ou « autarcique », par le biais des catégories de l’intraphonogramme et de l’autophonogramme. La notion d’ « avant-texte », mise au point en études littéraires par la critique génétique, permet également d’ajouter au modèle transphonographique la catégorie de « l’avant-phonogramme », qu’il soit à visée scénarique, de brouillon ou de variante. Après les avoir définies, l’article met ensuite en pratique ces notions, par l’étude d’un phonogramme précis, The Velvet Underground And Nico, ainsi que par l’analyse de différents avant-phonogrammes de ce disque. Ne se cantonnant pas à une étude formaliste, l’article, par la mise en relation de différents phonogrammes et par l’analyse des discours autour du groupe et de ce disque, se propose d’étudier plus précisément les stratégies esthétiques mises en oeuvre par les musiciens lors de l’élaboration de TheVelvet Underground And Nico. Enfin, l’étude de ces différents phonogrammes permet également de questionner la notion de « finitude » de l’oeuvre, par la multiplication des formats, mono et stéréo.

Full text
Abstract:
Les travaux de R.O. Šor occupent une place originale – relativement indépendante et médiatrice – dans la vive controverse qui a opposé formalisme et marxisme dans la jeune Union soviétique. Membre du Cercle linguistique de Moscou puis active au sein de l’Académie d’État des sciences artistiques (GAXN), Šor s’inscrit d’une part dans la mouvance formaliste, sans pour autant n’avoir jamais été une représentante de la «méthode formelle». Dans son article «La méthode formelle en Occident» (1927), on la voit même spécifiquement attaquer certaines thèses du formalisme russe, notamment celles de R.O. Jakobson, avec des arguments souvent fort simi- laires à ceux utilisés par les divers critiques marxistes (L.D. Trockij, A.V. Lunačar- skij, P.N. Medvedev). Dans d’autres ouvrages (par exemple Sur les voies d’une linguistique marxiste [1931]), elle semble s’approprier des positions théoriques très proches de la linguistique marriste – mais là non plus, sans qu’elle ne se soumette véritablement aux dogmes de cette dernière. L’objectif de cet article sera de mettre en contexte le positionnement intermédiaire, voire médiateur, des travaux de Šor, et de montrer qu’un de ses plus grands intérêts tient au fait que, de façon apparem- ment surprenante, Šor s’est appuyée sur les Recherches logiques d’E. Husserl ainsi que sur les travaux de G.G. Špet, A. Marty ou A.A. Potebnja pour critiquer les théories formalistes russes et chercher sa propre synthèse entre les aspects formels, expressifs et sociologiques du langage.

Abstract:
Au cours des années soixante, la sculpture cinétique a fait porter la réflexion sur les relations entre l’art et la technologie. Dans ce sens la réception immédiate des objets d’art de Serge Cournoyer et du groupe Fusion des Arts, par la critique d’art, est exemplaire du débat ayant animé le milieu artistique montréalais durant cette période. Elle a rendu perceptible l’inadéquation entre l’univers sémantique de ces oeuvres et les critères de définition de l’art de certains critiques d’art adhérant à l’expressionisme ou au formalisme. La reconstitution du contexte de ce débat nous apprend que la remise en question de certaines normes propres au modernisme est le principal effet social de ces oeuvres. En reconsidérant les modes dominants de penser l’art et la culture, elles ont contribué à la réflexion critique du champ culturel concernant les effets du récent développement de la culture de masse sur la vie artistique et intellectuelle.

Abstract:
AbstractIn her celebrated study The Limits of Critique (2015), Rita Felski asserts that literary criticism during the past 40 years or more has been beholden to “the hermeneutics of suspicion,” a paranoid approach to interpretation that seeks to uncover concealed or repressed meanings without due appreciation for the texts as it appears. Felski believes that “critique” is necessarily implicated in this suspicious reading, and she argues instead for a postcritical approach to literature that would eschew interpretation in favor of description, affect, and enjoyment. Felski’s argument draws upon related critiques of critique, including calls for “surface reading,” “reparative interpretation,” “thin description,” a “new formalism,” and “ordinary language.” In recent years, the advocacy for a postcritical approach and the critical resistance to that approach, and thus the affirmation of the value of critique itself, have formed one of the more animated debates within literary and cultural studies in the United States and elsewhere. At the same time, perhaps ironically, critique seems more necessary and desirable than ever in confronting contemporary reality in the U. S. In this presentation, Robert T. Tally Jr. will discuss current debates over postcritical approaches to literature, and he will argue for an empowered understanding and employment of critique suited both to literary studies and to the world we live in today.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper critically examines I.I. Rubin's Essays on Marx's Theory of Value and argues that two different approaches to value theory can be found in that book: a more 'production-centred' value-form theory uneasily co-exists with a 'circulationist' perspective. This unresolved tension, the authors claim, reflects a more general theoretical shortcoming in Rubin's work, namely, a problematic conceptualisation of the inner connection between materiality and social form that eventually leads to a formalist perspective on the value-form. Furthermore, the paper argues that all those antinomies are an expression of the historical and political context underlying Rubin's work, in which Marxism was being codified as state ideology. The political implications of Rubin's formalism are explored through the critical examination of its consequences for the comprehension of the social determinations of the revolutionary subjectivity of the working class.

Abstract:
En 1936, en Union soviétique, des critiques anonymes lancèrent une campagne répressive « contre le naturalisme et le formalisme ». Il devint alors impossible, pour plusieurs artistes, d’exposer leur travail et de participer à des concours artistiques. Les artistes « formalistes », tels le suprématiste Kasimir Malevitch et le réaliste analytique Pavel Filonov, étaient facilement identifiables, car ils étaient représentatifs du modernisme européen. La définition du naturalisme, par contre, était beaucoup moins précise. Perçu comme une reproduction presque photographique de la réalité, le naturalisme était pratiqué par les membres de l’Association des artistes de la Russie révolutionnaire. Dans cet article, nous étudions l’histoire de la notion de naturalisme en Union soviétique durant les années 1920–1950 et démontrons son importance pour la définition du réalisme socialiste.

Abstract:
Abstract A quarrel broke out in 1993 in the French literary press concerning the respective merits of two French translations of The Waves (1931). The first translation was by Yourcenar (1937) and the second by Wajsbrot (1993). Two contrasting conceptions of translating are apparent in the critics' positions, and also in the theory and practice (whether explicit or implicit) of the two translators. For Yourcenar, Woolf's text is part of an English literary system which is to be introduced to the French system. As a translator and author her role is to introduce Woolf to a French public. Wajsbrot, on the other hand, considers Woolf as an outstanding artist representative of the genius of the English language. The corollary is that the translator should make himself or herself invisible. These two positions can be related to two conceptions of the translator, the formalist and the romantic, respectively. From 1937 to 1993, the metaphors used indicate the decline of a formalist conception of translation in favour of an idea of the role of the translator which dates from romanticism. Which conception produces the better translation? Résumé En 1993 une querelle a agité la presse littéraire française concernant la valeur des deux traductions de The Waves (1931), celle de Yourcenar (1937) et celle de Wajsbrot (1993). Deux conceptions opposées de la traduction se manifestent dans les arguments dont se servent les critiques ainsi que dans la pratique et la théorie (que cette théorie soit explicite ou implicite) des deux traducteurs. Pour Yourcenar le texte de Woolf fait partie d'un système littéraire anglais qu'il faut introduire dans le système littéraire français. Comme traductrice et auteur, son rôle est donc d'introduire Woolf à un public français. Wajsbrot considère Woolf comme artiste extraordinaire qui représente le génie de la langue anglaise et devant qui la traductrice doit s'effacer. Ces deux conceptions de la traduction peuvent être rapprochées d'une part, d'une position formaliste, d'autre part d'une position romantique. De 1937 à 1993, les métaphores employées par les deux traductrices, et par les critiques, marquent le recul d'une conception formaliste de la traduction en faveur d'une conception du rôle du traducteur qui date du romantisme. Quelle conception produit la meilleure traduction?

Abstract In an earlier paper Luu and Meißner (arXiv:1910.13770 [physics.hist-ph]) we discussed emergence from the context of effective field theories, particularly as related to the fields of particle and nuclear physics. We argued on the side of reductionism and weak emergence. George Ellis has critiqued our exposition in Ellis (arXiv:2004.13591 [physics.hist-ph]), and here we provide our response to his critiques. Many of his critiques are based on incorrect assumptions related to the formalism of effective field theories and we attempt to correct these issues here. We also comment on other statements made in his paper. Important to note is that our response is to his critiques made in archive versions arXiv:2004.13591v1-5 [physics.hist-ph]. That is, versions 1–5 of this archive post. Version 6 has similar content as versions 1–5, but versions 7–9 are seemingly a different paper altogether (even with a different title).

Abstract:
This serves as an introduction to this section on Beck and as a standalone essay. In it we see that the writers in this section understand Beck's risk as modernity itself. And in this context risk's reflexive modernity is understood as ‘indeterminate modernity’. The essay thematizes a radically subjectivist reading of Beck's risk. It sees reflexivity as opposed to the objectivism and positivism of Kant's (first) critique of pure reason, and instead in terms of the subjectivity of Kant's third aesthetic critique. Thus, Beck's subjectivist risk and indeterminate modernity focuses not on Kantian and positivist first-modernity ‘cause’ but instead on second and indeterminate-modernity ‘consequence’. This entails significant levels of (Kierkegaardian) anxiety on the part of individuals as well as the possibility of enhanced happiness. The latter is understood in terms of, again, the subjectivist psychology of Daniel Kahneman's behaviouralist economics. This is a substantivist (and not formalist) economics and dovetails with Weber's Methodenstreit between the substantivism of the Historical School and the formalism of neoclassical economics. The essay closes with a look at how this radically subjectivist and substantivist reflexivity is the basis for a panoply of non-normative institutions in Beck's vision of global cosmopolitanism.

Introduction to Social Formalism (1998)In this introductory chapter to her book Social Formalism: The Novel in Theory from Henry James to the Present (1998), Dorothy Hale is engaging a double polemic against the dominating tradition within cultural studies and argues that not only does this tradition, which claims to have more interest in the ‘world’ than in the ‘work’, base its studies in classical literary works; it has also lost sight of the relevant theoretical approaches. To Hale, a reactualization of ‘novel theory’ is therefore emergent, and it is the aim of her study to show that the critique that has been raised against formalistic-oriented novel theory for not having any other interest in the novel than the description of its ‘literariness’ is wrong. Literary theorists like Henry James, Percy Lubbock, Wayne Booth, Gérard Genette and Michail Bachtin have shared the conviction that the novel, through its formal aspects, embodies the author’s vision of both social identity and social reality – no matter whether this is formulated as Lubbock’s ‘vision’, Genette’s ‘voice’ or Bachtin’s ‘dialogicity’. In this respect, these theorists are not as far from the sociocultural approaches of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Barbara Johnson and Henry Louis Gates as is claimed. They are connected insofar as they share a social formalistic interest, i.e. they consider the formal aspects of the text as an expression for and a result of a specific and historically variable social formation.

Oedipus the King and Things Fall Apart show fundamental similarities. This essay explores these similarities in an attempt to give more of a formalist interpretation and a somewhat fresh insight into Achebe’s path-breaking novel, anchored on his use of the prophetic statement. In drawing a comparison between the two texts, the paper is not seeking to engage in a “colonialist” or “neo-colonialist” critique. Rather, it employs the formalist approach to read Achebe’s timeless masterpiece beyond its use as an anthropological text in certain quarters of the Western academy in order to situate the novel in the tradition of the best literary writing.Keywords: Formal critique; prophetic statement; fate; agency; proverbs; character; colonialism; cosmopolitanism

Full text
Abstract:
Although critiques of legal formalism have been rethought over recent years to produce a 'new informalism' in legal theory which draws on Michel Foucault's approach to power, this essay examines the ways in which there are still a variety of problems in the understanding of power, social control and freedom utilized by studies of 'informal' or 'popular' justice. It briefly outlines the ideas and practices encompassed by the concept of informal justice, and identifies the critique of legal informalism as an extension of state power and control as well as the counter-critiques that underlie the 'new informalism'. I then go on to argue that the problems continuing to face the understanding of informal justice in legal theory include going beyond seeing power as radiating outwards from some 'thing' called 'the state', as well as beyond the opposition of individual and community liberty to 'state power', towards a more complex and nuanced understanding of the ways in which law and government work through individual and community 'freedom', rather than against them. I conclude with some comments on the kind of research agenda concerning legal informalism encouraged by Foucault's conceptions of power, government and freedom.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent years have seen the rise of pointed and influential critiques of deference doctrines in administrative law. What many of these critiques have in common is a view that judges, not agencies, should resolve interpretive disputes over the meaning of statutes—disputes the critics take to be purely legal and almost always resolvable using lawyerly tools of statutory construction. In this Article, I take these critiques, and the relatively formalist assumptions behind them, seriously and show that the critics have not acknowledged or advocated the full reform vision implied by their theoretical premises. Specifically, critics have extended their critique of judicial abdication only to what I call Type I statutory errors (that is, agency interpretations that regulate more conduct than the best reading of the statute would allow the agency to regulate) and do not appear to accept or anticipate that their theory of interpretation would also extend to what I call Type II statutory errors (that is, agency failures to regulate as much conduct as the best reading of the statute would require). As a consequence, critics have been more than willing to entertain an end to Chevron deference, an administrative law doctrine that is mostly invoked to justify Type I error, but have not shown any interest in adjusting administrative law doctrine to remedy agencies’ commission of Type II error. The result is a vision of administrative law’s future that is precariously slanted against legislative and regulatory action. I critique this asymmetry in administrative law and address potential justifications of systemic asymmetries in the doctrine, such as concern about the remedial implications of addressing Type II error, finding them all wanting from a legal and theoretical perspective. I also lay out the positive case for adhering to symmetry in administrative law doctrine. In a time of deep political conflict over regulation and administration, symmetry plays, or at the very least could play, an important role in depoliticizing administrative law, clarifying what is at stake in debates about the proper level of deference to agency legal interpretations, and disciplining partisan gamesmanship. I suggest that when the conversation is so disciplined, an administrative law without deference to both Type I and Type II error is hard to imagine due to the high judicial costs of minimizing Type II error, but if we collectively choose to discard deference notwithstanding these costs, it would be a more sustainable political choice for administrative law than embracing the current, one-sided critique of deference.

Fondé sur trois ouvrages récents consacrés à la poésie contemporaine, l'article fait apparaître une problématique propre à ce discours critique : la présence et le statut d'une dimension figurative en son sein. Au delà d'une simple stratégie persuasive de séduction dont le post-formalisme renouvelle la possibilité, cette pratique du figuratif renvoie à la question de la substance en relation avec la forme. On explicite alors le lien paradoxal qui unit le discours critique à son objet, la poésie contemporaine incorporant dans son exercice une interrogation métalinguistique, et le métalangage critique incorporant quant à lui une dimension figurative du discours pour signifier une proximité sensible avec l'expérience poétique, inaccessible au seul langage conceptuel. Ces parcours inversés inscrivent, dans le discours critique, une poéticité de second degré.

Abstract:
<p>This essay presents a theoretical discussion, analysis, and formulation to reconfigure new meanings, potentialities, and multiplicities of homosexual relationship/s. After a brief discussion on the rapid popularisation of marriage equality as the primary goal of queer movements, an overview of queer critique of marriage is provided. Attention given to the notion of homonormativity and the sharp criticism from queer negativity/queer anti-social. For these critiques, subjects are encouraged to occupy the abject position, which I argue, only further depoliticise queer politics. After a critical overview of this political stance, I offer Foucault and Deleuze accounts to explore multiple forms of relationships beyond marital institution, focusing on the ways in which relationships are to be understood as in terms of potentialities, intensities, and emergent forms and functions beyond the existing language capacities and formalised forms. This essay should, however, not situated as masterly or prescriptive, but rather a modest effort to spur more critical concerns,<br />discussions, and debates among queer Indonesians.</p>

Abstract:
A freqüência com que a crítica hegeliana ao suposto formalismo da ética kantiana tem retornado em diversas ramificações da discussão éticopolítica contemporânea, em especial a partir da década de 1970, cria um ensejo oportuno para um reexame da primeira tentativa de Hegel de “superar” a filosofia prática de Kant: o programa arquitetado em Frankfurt, baseado no conceito de amor e que, graças a este embasamento, realça o sentido “comunitário” da Aufhebung do ponto de vista moral na “eticidade”. Pretende-se aqui, primeiramente, resgatar aspectos gerais da relação entre as investigações do jovem Hegel e a crítica ao idealismo kantiano-fichteano. Em seguida, partido do arcabouço geral da interpretação hegeliana do cristianismo, a intenção é interpretar a crítica da moral deontológica a partir do conceito de amor em Geist des Christentums.Abstract: With the profound renewal of political philosophy that happened since the 1970s, the objection of “empty formalism” directed by Hegel against Kant’s moral theory has been returning to the contemporary philosophical debate over the moral foundations of the political community. This fact raises interest in Hegel’s first attempt to overcome Kant’s practical philosophy: the project of a radical critique of deontological ethics that he planned in Frankfurt and was based on the concept of love, whose inherently intersubjective character underlines the social significance of what Hegel later conceived as the Aufhebung of the moral point of view in ethical life. Firstly, this paper aims to outline Hegel’s early critique of the Kantian-Fichtean idealism in the light of his historical philosophical investigations in Tübingen, Bern and Frankfurt. The second part is an attempt to reexamine the relationship between Hegel’s conception of love and his critique of deontological morality, as it is presented in Geist des Christentums.

Abstract:
On sait le retentissement que le premier roman publié d’Hubert Aquin, Prochain épisode, a eu auprès de la critique de l’époque. Une fois passé le choc initial, ce qu’on semble y avoir surtout vu, c’est, hormis les diverses traces de la vie d’Aquin dans son roman, le déconcertant cocktail d’un propos politiquement très marqué et d’un travail formel ostensible, proche à certains égards du Nouveau Roman. Aussi le défi a-t-il longtemps consisté à trouver un point d’équilibre entre ces deux dimensions dont l’arrimage ne s’imposait pas d’emblée ; c’était là l’occasion, pour les critiques, de montrer leur savoir-faire mais aussi d’occuper, chacun à sa manière, une portion de l’échiquier mobile de la réception. Qu’en est-il, quelques décennies plus tard ? On peut, s’essayant à lire « par-dessus l’épaule » des analystes plus récents, se demander ce qu’est devenue, aujourd’hui — ou depuis 1995, disons — l’attention à son architecture formelle, à une époque où la désaffection à l’endroit de l’avant-garde et du formalisme en amène plusieurs à tenir ce genre de considérations pour datées. Il faudra bien entendu garder à l’esprit que les lectures tardives ne sont pas de nouveaux contacts virginaux avec un texte, mais le site d’une négociation, qui ne s’avoue pas toujours, avec l’histoire parfois erratique de ses lectures.

Abstract:
In February 2007, then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern established a provision for formalised dialogue between the political institutions of the state (chiefly the Department of an Taoiseach) and religious bodies. This provision for dialogue was consciously modelled on Article 17.3 of the Functioning of the Lisbon Treaty. It was couched in terms of mutual respect and a need for a mature acceptance and recognition of contemporary socio-cultural pluralism. This official discourse reflected the ideals of deliberative democracy, the politics of recognition and identity, and the predominant norm of consensus-building. A conventional critique of the dialogue provision through the prism of deliberative democratic theory is presented, and the Irish instance is subsequently utilised as a point of departure for a reflective examination of the normative ideal. We argue that ideals of deliberation do not readily overcome embedded realities of power asymmetries and structural domination. As a result, public policy initiatives that seek to address the demands of various social movements for greater equality remain vulnerable to the interests and preferences of those religious bodies opposed to such reform. While recent revelations concerning the Catholic Church’s historical role within Ireland have gone some way to highlighting the need for a recalibration of the state’s relationship with corporate religion, the new dialogue provision entrenches a neo-corporate-style of interest representation. While this dialogue initiative has an expanded number of interlocutors, it is still substantially closed in practice to wider interested and affected parties. The deliberative modality is absent, replaced instead – as in EU praxis – with generally bilateral modes of state-religious engagement that lacks real deliberation and transparency. The Irish example exemplifies significant challenges to the realisation of deliberative democracy beyond the experimental level.

Abstract:
In this commentary piece, we are reminded that naming (in-formality) is an inherently political act. Informality is discussed through a number of dimensions: conceptually in relation to the term ‘formal’; considering its (ordinary) presence in the city; discussing the recognition and devaluation of the informal economy; and pointing to the contribution it makes to the global economy. Analytically, it is argued that informality requires a balancing concept of the formal; politically, informality is ‘the Other’, bound into a teleological relationship with the formal, but unable to ever achieve it. As such, informality is tied to and legitimates the ‘formal’. By reviewing the ontological critique and epistemological diversions deployed by some of the articles of this special issue, the commentary shows that the informal economy is not a ‘residual’ category but one that encompasses the majority of the human experience (urban and non-urban). In this sense, it puts forward the suggestion of viewing formality as exception and informality as the norm, for it is difficult to imagine a totally formal activity with no informality. Informality, then, should be interpreted as a hybrid of what is termed formal and informal. In all its varieties, it is shown that informality constitutes the everyday of the city. Yet, this commentary also calls to resist generalisations so as to be able to ‘see’ particular timed and placed informalities that exist in relation to a wider (local) social, political and economic setting, as well as a global one.

Résumé Cet article vise à explorer la question suivante : comment, dans une démonstration sociologique, opérer une articulation fondée de données hétérogènes ? Après avoir avancé qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un problème scolastique mais d'une difficulté inhérente à la construction du discours sociologique, l'auteur se propose de montrer comment un certain usage du formalisme permet d'apporter une réponse intéressante à la question initiale. Cet usage ne: consiste pas à la vaine substitution d'un calcul logique au langage naturel, mais à l'explicitation, grâce au formalisme, des opérations cognitives nécessaires à l'appréhension des divers niveaux de saisie du social, conçu comme étant, indissolublement, structure, histoire et sens. Ainsi peut-être avancée, in fine, la thèse d'un principe de cumulativité critique, qui permet, dans le maquis de la production sociologique, le repérage des lignes pertinentes d'une capitalisation raisonnée des connaissances.

The core of this paperis a reading of Robert Browning's “Clive” (1880); it attempts to account for the formalist demands of this generically complex and relentlessly ironic poetic text, while at the same time it construes the accomplishment of Browning's poetic language and form as intricate cultural critique. However, in order to better understand Browning's poem an additional discussion of its intertexts is required, the most important being Thomas Babington Macaulay's essay “On Clive” (1840).

Abstract:
Abstract:Alasdair Maclntyre (1984) asserts that the ethical systems of the Enlightenment (formalism and utilitarianism) have failed to provide a meaningful definition of “good.” Lacking such a definition, business managers have no internal standards by which they can morally evaluate their roles or acts. Maclntyre goes on to claim that managers have substituted external measures of “winning” or “effectiveness” for any internal concept of good. He supports a return to the Aristotelian notion of virtue or “excellence.” Such a system of virtue ethics depends on an interrelationship of the community, one’s roles in that community, and the virtues one needs to perform that role well. This article develops Maclntyre’s concept of virtue ethics and shows how this paradigm fits well with existing theories about organizational behavior.

Au départ l’auteure souligne que les travaux de la sculpteure qu’elle étudie font partie du courant figuratif ayant contesté, au cours des années soixante, le formalisme en arts visuels. En commentant des oeuvres présentées à l’exposition « People in the Park » l’auteure montre que Claire Hogenkamp a pratiqué une satire marquée, mais indulgente (non culpabilisante) de la féminité et de la masculinité construites essentiellement sur des rapports de séduction hypercodés suggérés par l’imagerie publicitaire et la photographie commerciale. Elle précise que le contenu de ces oeuvres, par leur effet de distanciation du réel, montre l’évidence du règne du faux, particulièrement dans le cas de la féminité construite par les médias commerciaux. Finalement, l’auteure démontre que cette recherche d’Hogenkamp constitue une critique sociale forte des comportements homme-femme stéréotypés, ce qui du coup révèle la fonction idéologique de l’art, c’est-à-dire sa nécessaire portée critique.

Full text
Abstract:
This article is concerned with the debate about interdisciplinary methods in international law, in particular the turn to International Relations. It finds the historical critique of Martti Koskenniemi grounded in a more methodological issue: the turn toward a redefinition of norm properties impedes on the critical discursive quality of law. Shaping this historical critique into a research question that allows for meaningful engagement, the article discusses Koskenniemi’s charges drawing on recent constructivist scholarship. Giving an account of what it means to be ‘obliged’ to obey the law, this article defends the coherence of Koskenniemi’s position and suggests that we should take the critique of the interdisciplinary project between law and International Relations seriously. While it agrees that a significant part of the discourse fails to appreciate the particularities of the law, it suggests that understanding legal obligations requires taking the institutional autonomy of the law into account. Respecting this autonomy, in turn, points to a multi- instead of an interdisciplinary project. The reflexive formalist conception of the law that this article advocates captures the obligating nature of the law, independent of the normative content of particular rules.

Abstract:
AbstractBertolt Brecht and Theodor W. Adorno stand for opposing modes and stances within an artistic modernism oriented toward radical social transformation. In his 1962 essay ‘Commitment’, Adorno advanced a biting critique of Brecht’s work and artistic position. Adorno’s arguments have often been dismissed but, surprisingly, are seldom closely engaged with. This paper assesses these two approaches that have been so central to twentieth-century debates in aesthetics: Brecht’s dialectical realism and Adorno’s sublime or dissonant modernism. It provides what still has been missing: a close reading and immanent critique of Adorno’s case against Brecht. And it clarifies one methodological blind spot of Adorno’s formalist conceptualisation of autonomy: he fails to provide the detailed analysis of context that his own dialectical method immanently calls for. The paper shows how and why Brecht’s dialectical realism holds up under Adorno’s attack, and draws conclusions for contemporary artistic practice.

Abstract:
John Roemer’s recent work uses the mathematics of Social Choice Theory to examine the structure of socialist ideals. One striking conclusion is that the social ownership of the means of production entails the strict equalization of ‘utility.’1 The conclusion is surprising. While of course opposing many existing inequalities, socialists (as opposed to their critics) have not traditionally understood socialism to require strict equalization. Marx, for example, is scathing in his criticism of levelling, which he sees as a form of ‘crude’ communism.2This paper is both exposition and critique. By way of exposition, I show with less than full mathematical rigor what several of Roemer’s axioms of social ownership mean and why they entail the equality of utility.

Abstract:
Much of what follows concerns itself with issues which are inevitably (and properly) extra-musical. But the musical significance of the recently-exhumed and now partially recorded ork by Dmitri Shostakovich which seems to be called (or thought of as) Antiformalisticheski Rayok is worth stressing at the outset. This little cantata ‘for reader, four basses, mixed chorus and piano accompaniment’ could hardly be claimed as one of the Soviet master's major utterances: it is, rather, a particularly bitter and subversive satirical squib – much of its fascination stems from the explicitness and political discomfort of the attack, and the identity of its targets. On the other hand, it is a not unimportant contribution to a specifically Russian tradition of musical satire: it can be seen to be taking its place in – and rendering more intelligible – the development of Shostakovich's personal commitment to that tradition, as he moved from the zany and anarchic grotesquerie of his early film, ballet and theatre scores to the oblique but devastating critique of officialdom and philistinism that underlies such enigmatic pieces as the Preface to the Complete Edition of My Works, op. 123 and his very last song-cycle, the Verses of Captain Lebyadkin, op. 146. Rayok belongs in their company, but is neither oblique nor enigmatic: it represents, in an extreme vitriolic form, an aspect of Shostakovich's musical humour that could only express itself publicly through a protective mask of irony. The vitriol is here undiluted, because Rayok was written with no thought of publication: was indeed unpublishable at the time, and in the political conditions, under which it was conceived.

A series of similarities between the two judgments are obvious: They are two of the three cases in the history of the Court in which the judges were equally split and the President had to cast his tie-breaking vote. The critique of the judgments has been exceptionally strong, in 2016 as in 1966. The core of the critique, then as now, has practically been the same—the Court retreats into an excessive formalism that protects great powers.
