Dès lors qu’elle renvoie à la possibilité de « se fier », à quelqu’un ou à quelque chose, la confiance est au cœur et au fondement des relations sociales, intéressant ce faisant la plupart des sciences sociales. Dans un contexte dominé par le constat partagé d’une « crise » de confiance / ou de défiance – dans la société, dans la démocratie, dans les hommes et les institutions politiques, dans le progrès, dans l’économie, etc. –, une interrogation croisant les analyses de différentes disciplines prend tout son sens. Si le juriste est interpellé par la problématique de la confiance en tant que « juriste dans la cité », il peut également y trouver un concept invitant à renouveler certains cadres classiques des droits constitutionnels, de l’environnement, de l’économie ou encore des finances. L’organisation d’une « journée d’étude interdisciplinaire » tendait à poursuivre ce questionnement, en invitant des spécialistes de disciplines non juridiques à dialoguer avec des juristes. Les points de vue de la philosophie, de l’histoire, de la science politique et de l’économie ont ainsi été mobilisés pour questionner la thématique commune de la confiance. Il s’est agi notamment, d’une part, de se demander si la réflexion sur la confiance était en mesure de développer des outils aptes à renouveler certains cadres théoriques classiques ; d’autre part de s’interroger sur l’impact de ces réflexions théoriques sur le lien social, eu égard aux enjeux actuels.

Le journalisme suscite des passions contradictoires. Métier désirable pour de nombreux étudiants, il fait pourtant l'objet d'une forte suspicion dans l'opinion. Ainsi, moins de 10% des Français pensent que les choses se sont passées comme les journalistes le décrivent. Les journalistes méritent-ils ce regard critique ? Comment travaillent-ils ? Sont-ils indépendants ? L'ouvrage apporte, dans un langage clair, des réponses scientifiques à toutes ces questions.

Madeleine de l'Aubespine (1546-1596), the toast of courtly and literary circles in sixteenth-century Paris, penned beautiful love poems to famous women of her day. The well-connected daughter and wife of prominent French secretaries of state, l'Aubespine was celebrated by her male peers for her erotic lyricism and scathingly original voice. Rather than adopt the conventional self-effacement that defined female poets of the time, l'Aubespine's speakers are sexual, dominant, and defiant; and her subjects are women who are able to manipulate, rebuke, and even humiliate men. Unavailable in English until now and only recently identified from scattered and sometimes misattributed sources, l'Aubespine's poems and literary works are presented here in Anna Klosowska's vibrant translation. This collection, which features one of the first French lesbian sonnets as well as reproductions of l'Aubespine's poetic translations of Ovid and Ariosto, will be heralded by students and scholars in literature, history, and women's studies as an important addition to the Renaissance canon.

New research into medieval women from the Anglo-Saxon to the late medieval period demonstrates their energy, defiance and wit. The phenomenon of medieval women's middle age is a stage in the lifecycle that has been frequently overlooked in preference for the examination of female youth and old age. The essays collected here, ranging from the Anglo-Saxon to the late medieval period, and drawing variously from literary studies, history, law, art and theology, address this lacuna. Taking a variety of critical approaches, the contributors consider medieval definitions, paradigms andexperiences of female middle age, analysing how the middle-aged woman perceived herself subjectively, as well as how she was perceived by others. They seek to challenge the received wisdom that in the middle ages, at forty, womenwere deemed "old" and, from that point onwards, their thoughts should be focused on preparing for death. On the contrary, this collection demonstrates their energy, defiance and wit. Sue Niebrzydowski is Lecturer in English, Bangor University, Wales. Contributors: Jane Geddes, Clare A. Lees, Carol M. Meale, Anneke B. Mulder-Bakker, Sue Niebrzydowski, Raluca L. Radulescu, Sara Elin Roberts, Corinne Saunders, Diane Watt.

The literature on Kierkegaard is often content to paraphrase. By contrast, Michael Theunissen articulates one of Kierkegaard's central ideas, his theory of despair, in a detailed and comprehensible manner and confronts it with alternatives. Understanding what Kierkegaard wrote on despair is vital not only because it illuminates his thought as a whole, but because his account of despair in The Sickness unto Death is the cornerstone of existentialism. Theunissen's book, published in German in 1993, is widely regarded as the best treatment of the subject in any language. Kierkegaard's Concept of Despair is also one of the few works on Kierkegaard that bridge the gap between the Continental and analytic traditions in philosophy. Theunissen argues that for Kierkegaard, the fundamental characteristic of despair is the desire of the self "not to be what it is." He sorts through the apparently chaotic text of The Sickness unto Death to explain what Kierkegaard meant by the "self," how and why individuals want to flee their selves, and how he believed they could reconnect with their selves. According to Theunissen, Kierkegaard thought that individuals in despair seek to deny their authentic selves to flee particular aspects of their character, their past, or the world, or in order to deny their "mission." In addition to articulating and evaluating Kierkegaard's concept of despair, Theunissen relates Kierkegaard's ideas to those of Heidegger, Sartre, and other twentieth-century philosophers.
