Looking at animals: when visual nature questions visual culture 1 A topos of Western philosophy indexes animals’ irreducible alienation from the human condition on their lack of speech. In ancient times, their inarticulate cries provided the necessary analogy to designate non-Greeks as other, the adjective “Barbarian” assimilating foreign languages to incomprehensible birdcalls.1 To this day, the exclusion of animals from the sphere of logos remains one of the crucial questions addressed by philosophy and linguistics.2 In the work of some contemporary critics, however, the tenets of this relation to the animal “other” seem to have undergone a change in focus. With renewed insistence that difference is inextricably bound up in a sense of proximity, such writings have described animals not simply as “other,” but as our speechless others. This approach seems to find particularly fruitful ground where theory proposes to explore ways of seeing as constitutive of the discursive structures that we inhabit.

NOTES AFFIRMATIVE DUTIES IN TORT FOLLOWING TARASOFF The duty to come to the aid of another in danger is recognized in most moral systems.1 Nevertheless, as a general rule, the com- mon law recognizes no legal duty to render assistance to a fellow human in need.2 The most common justification for this dichotomy ' The best-known example of the moral efficacy of aiding a person in peril is the para- ble of the Good Samaritan. See Luke 10:30-37. Indeed, in discussions of a duty to rescue, the Good Samaritan principle is invariably used to illustrate the moral necessity of rescue, see, e.g., Note, ProfessionalObligation and the Duty to Rescue: When Must a Psychiatrist Protect His Patient'sIntended Victim?, 91 YALE L.J. 1430, 1433 (1982), and state statutes promulgated to encourage doctors to render emergency aid are known generically as "Good Samaritan" statutes, see, e.g., ILL.

Like the employment-crime nexus, the relationship be- tween housing and crime can point to a multitude of different dynamics, concerning the incentives to commit crimes and the incentives of the public to react to fear of crime. Here, I focus on just one dynamic: many Americans switched from renting to owning their homes during the second half of the 20th century, and this shift, I will argue, made the public more fearful of crime and thus more inclined to support aggressive law-and-order poli- cies.

    Société Lyonnaise D'histoire De La Police La Lettre

    Société Lyonnaise d’Histoire de la Police La Lettre Janvier 2016 - N° 17 1 2015 a été une année noire pour la France et pour le Monde libre. La démocratie est le système institutionnel le plus fragile. Ce qui le différencie de la barbarie, c’est le respect de la règle de droit. La République doit se défendre en faisant la guerre à « l’État islamique », sur son terrain, et en assurant sa sécurité et sa sûreté sur le territoire national. Dans le sursaut et l’élan qui ont suivi ces effroyables tueries, les citoyens ont su se réapproprier le drapeau tricolore et la Marseillaise. L’hymne national et les trois couleurs ont été repris dans le monde entier. La lutte sera longue et difficile. C’est avec espoir, courage et lucidité que nous entrons dans cette nouvelle année. L’élan et l’unité ne doivent pas retomber. L’histoire, sa défense et sa valorisation sont un des enjeux de cette « guerre ». L’une des armes des terroristes est la négation de l’Histoire ; faire table rase des racines, des symboles, des vestiges et de la mémoire des cultures et des civilisations, pour instaurer l’année zéro d’un nouveau système basé sur la dictature, le sectarisme, l’obscurantisme, la barbarie, l’inégalité et la haine. Quel meilleur symbole que ce drapeau tricolore de la Garde nationale de Lyon, des années 1790, bataillon du quartier des Terreaux, héritier des pennons, la milice bourgeoise et des métiers, force supplétive de police ; concept actuellement à l’étude, après la déclaration présidentielle.
