Passages adolescents : leurs matérialisations dans les espaces et les temps informels des institutions éducatives by Aurélie Maurin

“…The effort to understand and delimit those informal times and spaces is as tricky as it might be for a threshold.

Quelques effets sur la pratique de la traduction d’un concept : le déconstructivisme graphique depuis les années 1980 by Yann Aucompte, Stéphane Darricau

Just Who Was Wearing the Trousers in Victorian Britain? Violent Wives and Violent Women by Anne-Marie Kilday

“…Evidence from nineteenth century Scottish and English church and court records suggest that abusive behaviour by wives against their husbands was not uncommon, and indeed, more often than not, the violence meted out by these women was in a physical sense, more ‘damaging’ than that inflicted by their male counterparts.The intention of this paper therefore, is to examine—through a balanced gendered perspective—the ways in which domestic violence was carried out, the apparent reasons for this behaviour and the consequences of this type of aggressive activity for both offender and victim, regardless of sex.In doing this, it is hoped that the paper will shed new light on a traditionally one-sided argument.…”
