Baider Évaluation de la présidentiabilité (à l’interface de la sémantique lexicale et de la linguistique de corpus) Nouvellement venus dans la langue française, le nom présidentiabilité et l’ad- jectif présidentiable ont été attestés selon le Trésor de la langue française informatisé (TLFi) en 1965 et en 1980 respectivement, les deux attestations provenant de discours journalistiques. Les définitions restent floues1 (prési- dentiable : qui est en mesure de se présenter comme candidat à la présidence selon le TLFi), cependant, le thème de présidentiabilité est devenu fondamen- tal lors de l’évaluation des candidats présidentiels (Moureaud, 2008 ; Le Bart, 2009). Ce travail propose de cerner la construction dans la presse de cette thé- matique, essentielle pour le choix des électeurs, et par là même d’attester de l’importance de la linguistique de corpus dans l’étude d’une telle labellisation.

  • France 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    FRANCE 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and the law protect the right of individuals to choose, change, and practice their religion. The government investigated and prosecuted numerous crimes and other actions against religious groups, including anti-Semitic and anti- Muslim violence, hate speech, and vandalism. The government continued to enforce laws prohibiting face coverings in public spaces and government buildings and the wearing of “conspicuous” religious symbols at public schools, which included a ban on headscarves and Sikh turbans. The highest administrative court rejected the city of Villeneuve-Loubet’s ban on “clothes demonstrating an obvious religious affiliation worn by swimmers on public beaches.” The ban was directed at full-body swimming suits worn by some Muslim women. ISIS claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack in Nice during the July 14 French independence day celebration that killed 84 people without regard for their religious belief. President Francois Hollande condemned the attack as an act of radical Islamic terrorism. Prime Minister (PM) Manuel Valls cautioned against scapegoating Muslims or Islam for the attack by a radical extremist group. The government extended a state of emergency until July 2017. The government condemned anti- Semitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-Catholic acts and continued efforts to promote interfaith understanding through public awareness campaigns and by encouraging dialogues in schools, among local officials, police, and citizen groups. Jehovah’s Witnesses reported 19 instances in which authorities interfered with public proselytizing by their community. There were continued reports of attacks against Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The government, as well as Muslim and Jewish groups, reported the number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents decreased by 59 percent and 58 percent respectively from the previous year to 335 anti-Semitic acts and 189 anti-Muslim acts.

  • Muslim Fertility , Religion and Religiousness
    1 02/21/07 Fertility and Religiousness Among European Muslims Charles F. Westoff and Tomas Frejka There seems to be a popular belief that Muslim fertility in Europe is much higher than that of non-Muslims. Part of this belief stems from the general impression of high fertility in some Muslim countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. This notion is typically transferred to Muslims living in Europe with their increasing migration along with concerns about numbers and assimilability into European society. I The first part of this paper addresses the question of how much difference there is between Muslim and non-Muslim fertility in Europe (in those countries where such information is available). At the beginning of the 21 st century, there are estimated to be approximately 40 – 50 million Muslims in Europe. Almost all of the Muslims in Central and Eastern Europe live in the Balkans. (Kosovo, although formally part of Serbia, is listed as a country in Table 1). In Western Europe the majority of Muslims immigrated after the Second World War. The post-war economic reconstruction and boom required considerably more labor than was domestically available. There were two principal types of immigration to Western Europe: (a) from countries of the respective former colonial empires; and (b) from Southern Europe, the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Turkey. As much of this immigration took place during the 1950s and 1960s large proportions of present-day Muslims are second and third generation descendants. Immigrants to France came mostly from the former North African colonies Algeria (± 35 percent), Morocco (25 percent) and Tunisia (10 percent), and also from Turkey (10 percent).

Their implication at the national level challenges negative stereotypes on Islam in France and potentially reshapes their relations with public authorities in the provision of welfare services. Covid-19 rapidly spreads in the entire world. We need to stick together, as only a global response would be able to stop the virus proliferation. (…) We try to support vulnerable people in France, but it is also crucial to keep in mind refugees and displaced persons abroad who risk once again to be victims if no one can contain the epidemic (…). As France is being struck by the Covid-19 pandemic, the message above was captured during a live-stream video on theFacebook page of Human Appeal 1 of 10 #text-2 h3 { background-image: url(https://allegralaboratory.net/wp-content/themes/simplemag-child/images/acad emic-slow-food-manifesto.png); width: 297px; height: 218px; padding: 0; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; max-width: 100%; background-size: contain; margin: 0; text-indent: -9999px; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; } France, one of the biggest French Muslim NGOs.

  • Arab Satellite Television in Italy
    Medij. istraž. (god. 12, br. 2) 2006. (63-77) IZVORNI ZNANSTVENI RAD UDK: 316.77 (450=411.21) Primljeno: veljače, 2006. Media, Identities, and Immigrants: Arab Satellite Television in Italy Zala Volčič* SAŽETAK The field of global media has recently seen the publication of several books on the relationship between the media, belonging, and migrants. This research focuses on the complex cultural positioning of communities, who, for a variety of reasons, move to a new country and inhabit the new culture. This article first maps some theoretical and empirical investigations on the issues of immi- grants, and their use of the media. Furthermore, the specific context of the Arab media revolution within and outside Arab countries is presented, and I particularly focus on Al-Jazeera satellite television and an imaginary it offers. I explore, through ethnographic research and in-depth interviews, the use and consumption of Al-Jazeera satellite television by young Arab Muslim immi- grants who meet at the Islamic Cultural Institute of Milan, Italy. I argue that Al-Jazeera represents an original media project which tries to break free from direct control of Arab governments to the media - despite the financial support it continues to receive from the Emir of Qatar. However, the overwhelming enthusiasm surrounding the experience of watching independent news chan- nels should not always be seen in the light of a common desire to identify and unite within the notion of umma. Ključne riječi: media, migrants, Al-Jazeera satellite television, independent news channels, umma * Zala Volčič, School of Journalism and Communication, University of Queensland.
