Je me demande s'il existe des travaux sur l'utilisation de la catégorie « auteur » — ou encore de la catégorie « entreprise » ou « professionnel libéral » — comme moyen d'empouvoirement des traducteurices.

Et s'il n'y en a pas, si quelqu'un cherche un sujet de thèse en socio ou en sémio, je pose ça là.

Symbols of Freedom: Slavery and Resistance Before the Civil War

Matthew Clavin reminds us that symbols are living artifacts whose power is derived from the meaning with which we imbue them. And he shows us in great detail how American symbols inspired enslaved people and their allies in the abolition movement to fight for true freedom. His conclusions have enduring meaning for US .

I'll always be talking about Peircean semiotics here.

Up until 15 or 20 years ago folks observed the distinction between 's or and 's , but then some European schools decided the latter term was not sexy enough and they switched. More confusion than fusion ensued. Today we have as much pop semiotics as pop psychology, which is a good when it draws people into the fold but less good when it leaves the field spindled and mutilated.

After working 15 years in academic as an engineer I passed my PHD on cartography and and was appointed "maître de conférences" (ie. like senior assistant prof. with tenure) in geomatics at Univ. Jean-Jaurès at Toulouse, France, in 2014. I teach cartography, GIS, graphic design, webmapping and stats. I mainly use opensource apps and tools. I try to research how aesthetics ideas can benefit dataviz. I'm also the coeditor of the journal.
