Three scenarios for globalisation. A view from cultural semiotics Göran Sonesson Using the concept of the auto-model, this text describes global society as a device people use to understand their relation to other cultures. Three scenarios are analysed in terms of a model each : first, we consider the hypertrophy of the Internal Other, which results from the displacements of sizeable populations
This research is concerned with transnational diaspora mobilisation around external voting and diaspora organisations’ involvement in the homeland electoral process. There are several approaches that explain the political transnationalisation of the diasporic groups; yet, they fail to clarify (1) how some historical moments (e.g., extending the voting right to non-resident nationals) can generate
English (French summary below)Is it still possible to speak of authority other than in negative terms? In particular, to speak of exercising authority in religious institutions? I believe so. It is essential to exercise authority, also in religious institutions. But this exercise is not a simple matter. I propose to reflect on the question from four perspectives. The first is inspired by Martin Lu
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) or the more value neutral term, Female Genital Cutting (FGC) is widely practised in northern Sudan, where around 90% of women undergo the most extensive form of FGC, infibulation. One new approach to combating FGC in Sudan is to acknowledge the previously hidden form of FGC, reinfibulation (RI) after delivery, when the woman is sewn back so much as to mimic virginit

Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this
Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with
Chemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. Moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) contributes highly relevant examples to the theory of speciation because subtle
The following study focuses on the role of the Swedish mainstream media in constructing stereotypes and public opinion in regards to the issues of gender and the identity of immigrant minorities in Swedish society. The case of the honour killing of Fadime Shaindal is used to demonstrate the significance of media reporting in generating a social discourse concerning crime and its relation to cultur
In this article I examine the development of the idea of marriage as a personal union whose foundation is the relation between the spouses. The theories which developed within the Church from the eleventh century and onwards put the emphasis on the personal side of marriage; the sacrament of marriage was founded on the union between the spouses and not on family interest. From the middle of the tw
L'été de 2002, ma mère et moi avons passé une semaine à Paris. C'était quelque chose que j'ai voulu depuis j'ai commencé d'étudier Francais, quand j'avais douze ans. Maintenant, j'avais quince ans, et j'ai connu la langue assez bien. Je n'étais pas nerveuse, parce-que ma mère est prof de Francais et d'Anglais. Et elle a habité à Paris pour quelques ans. Elle a connu la ville et elle pouvait prendr

Il était une fois deux amies de Paris. Une femme mince et une grosse. Elles étaient, les deux, un peu miscontents avec ses vies et les manières avec lesquels les jours ordinaire se sont passé normalement. La grosse femme, Danielle, avait les cheveux blondes, et était institutrice dans l'hôpital. La femme mince, Florence, avait des cheveux marrons et était coiffeuse au centre-ville. Un jour quand i
