Since Marcel Mauss published his foundational essay The Gift in 1925, many anthropologists and specialists of international relations have seen in the exchange of gifts, debts, loans, concessions or reparations the sources of international solidarity and international law. Still, Mauss's reflections were deeply tied to the context of interwar Europe and the French colonial expansion. Their normative dimension has been profoundly questioned after the age of decolonization. A century after Mauss, we may ask: what is the relevance of his ideas on gift exchanges and international solidarity? By tracing how Mauss's theoretical and normative ideas inspired prominent thinkers and government officials in France and Algeria, from Pierre Bourdieu to Mohammed Bedjaoui, Grégoire Mallard adds a building block to our comprehension of the role that anthropology, international law, and economics have played in shaping international economic governance from the age of European colonization to the latest European debt crisis. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

A Writer’s Topography examines French-Algerian Nobel Prize laureate Albert Camus’s intimate yet often unsettled relationship with natural and human landscapes. Much like the Greek hero Sisyphus about whom he wrote his famous philosophical essay, Camus sustained a deep awareness of and appreciation for what he termed le visage de ce monde —the face of this earth. This wide-ranging collection of essays by Camus scholars from around the world demonstrates to what extent topography is omnipresent in Camus’s life and works. Configurations and contemplations of landscape figure prominently in his fictional works on both a literal and figurative level—from the earliest writings of his youth to his final, unfinished novel, Le Premier Homme . Furthermore, as a core component of the way in which Camus perceived, conceived and expressed the human condition, topography constitutes an over-arching and particularly profound dimension of his personal, public and philosophical thought.

" ... Clenard comptait à Lisbonne plus de Maures et de Nègres que de Blancs, et ces Noirs, disait-il, sont pires que des brutes. Les choses ont bien changé ; le savant secrétaire de l'académie de Portugal, Correa de Serra, cite plusieurs Nègres instruits, avocats, prédicateurs et professeurs qui, à Lisbonne, à Riojaneiro, et dans les autres possessions portugaises, se sont signalés par leurs talents. En 1717, le Nègre don Juan Latino enseignait à Séville la langue latine ; il vécut cent dix-sept ans. La brutalité de ces Africains dont parle Clenard, n'était que le résultat de l'oppression et de la misère : lui-même reconnaît ailleurs leur aptitude. « J'enseigne, dit-il, la littérature à mes esclaves nègres ; j'en ferai un jour des affranchis, et j'aurai mon Diphilus comme Crassus, mon Tyron comme Ciceron ; ils écrivent déjà fort bien, et commencent à entendre le latin ; le plus habile me fait la lecture à table »..."

To speak of human rights in the twenty-first century is to speak of proportionality. Proportionality has been received into the constitutional doctrine of courts in continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, South Africa, and the United States, as well as the jurisprudence of treaty-based legal systems such as the European Convention on Human Rights. Proportionality provides a common analytical framework for resolving the great moral and political questions confronting political communities. But behind the singular appeal to proportionality lurks a range of different understandings. This volume brings together many of the world's leading constitutional theorists - proponents and critics of proportionality - to debate the merits of proportionality, the nature of rights, the practice of judicial review, and moral and legal reasoning. Their essays provide important new perspectives on this leading doctrine in human rights law.
