Abstract

Hobbes nous dit que le mot « liberté » est spécieux. Il existe de fait un contraste frappant entre la plénitude que peut donner l'énonciation du mot, comme dans le célèbre poème d'Éluard, et le sentiment de vide provoqué par la désolante diversité des usages concrets, parfois ouvertement contradictoires. Tôt ou tard, la réflexion bute sur la polarité de la liberté comme affirmation de l'ordre censé nous protéger de la licence, de l'anarchie ou du nihilisme, c'est-à-dire de la « fausse » liberté, ou comme négation de l'ordre dont les contraintes sont suspectées d'être oppressives et incompatibles avec la « vraie » liberté. Les contradictions entre les conceptions de l'ordre associées à la liberté donnent une justification à la conception de la liberté comme négation. Mais celle-ci est également difficile à tenir car elle risque de nier son objet en basculant dans la licence illimitée. Le conflit entre la liberté comme affirmation et la liberté comme négation n'est pas un défaut du concept. Il faut plutôt dire : la liberté est l'un des concepts qui servent à penser la production historique d'objets par l'activité collective et conflictuelle des hommes. L'oscillation entre ces deux pôles, qui peut être embarrassante au point d'inciter à n'en plus parler, montre que de tels concepts ont une structure ludique, au sens de ce qui fait l'intérêt de jeux intellectuels aussi futiles que les échecs. Ce livre peut se lire comme une introduction au jeu conceptuel de la liberté.

Abstract

"This book provides empirically grounded insights into the causes, trajectories, and effects of a severe decline in university autonomy and the relationship to other dimensions of academic freedom by comparing in-depth country studies and evidence from a new global timeseries dataset. Drawing attention to ongoing discussions on standards for monitoring and assessment of academic freedom at regional and international organizations, this book identifies a need for clearer standards on academic freedom and a human rights-based definition of university autonomy. Further, the book calls for accompanying international oversight and the inclusion of criteria related to academic freedom in international university rankings. Five expert-authored case studies on academic freedom from diverse nations (Bangladesh, Mozambique, India, Poland, and Turkey) are included in the volume. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative evidence, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to the field and will be of great interest to scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of higher education, human rights, political science and public policy"-- Provided by publisher.

Practicing Intellectual Freedom in Libraries is helpful for a wide range of people, from those only starting to learn about intellectual freedom to those more well-versed in the subject. For novices, it offers a solid introduction to intellectual freedom, grounded theoretically and empiraccly; for more experienced scholars and librarians, it provides a uniquely comprehensive analysis of theoretical freedom. -- This book relies on research and practical real-world scenarios to help librarians conceptualize and contextualize the idea of intellectual freedom. Real-world scenarios provide a timely look at intellectual freedom in context, discussing Internet filtering, collection development and weeding, meeting rooms and exhibit spaces, programming, and fake news and misinformation.

Abstract

It's been ten years since open data first broke onto the global stage. Over the past decade, thousands of programmes and projects around the world have worked to open data and use it to address a myriad of social and economic challenges. Meanwhile, issues related to data rights and privacy have moved to the centre of public and political discourse. As the open data movement enters a new phase in its evolution, shifting to target real-world problems and embed open data thinking into other existing or emerging communities of practice, big questions still remain. How will open data initiatives respond to new concerns about privacy, inclusion, and artificial intelligence? And what can we learn from the last decade in order to deliver impact where it is most needed? The State of Open Data brings together over 60 authors from around the world to address these questions and to take stock of the real progress made to date across sectors and around the world, uncovering the issues that will shape the future of open data in the years to come.
