We should be judged, not by the errors we make but by what we make of our errors. annie sugier1 Critics should not construct for our subjects a historically impossible purity. jonathan arac2 [B]eaucoup de problèmes nous paraissent plus essentiels que ceux qui nous concernent singulièrement…. The Second Sex, 1:29 Summer 2006. I am traveling to Berlin to speak at a conference, “Black Euro- pean Studies in Transnational Perspective,” stopping for a month in Oxford on the way. Dragging three overweight suitcases stuffed with books and notes about Simone de Beauvoir, I land at Heathrow and find myself in a longer im- migration queue than usual (because England is playing in the World Cup), and I fall into conversation with two very young American women, recent col- lege graduates. One, who asserts gamely that she “works in improv in New York,” is coming “to study Shakespeare at the Globe”; the other, nervous and asthmatic, is emigrating, moving to (I think) Hertfordshire to get married and live happily ever after. She is carrying her wedding dress with eight-foot train in a monster-sized garment bag over her shoulder, and oozing anxiety about her prospective in-laws, who appear to have a great deal of money. “I’m from a humble background,” she explains to me, a total stranger. She’s from New Ha- ven, but she didn’t go to Yale … This isn’t going to work, I think, but of course 1 Colloque internationale, Université Paris Diderot Paris 7, January 2008. -

Stakeholder Participation in Radiological Decision Making
Radiation Protection 2004 Stakeholder Participation in Radiological Decision Making: Processes and Implications Stakeholder Participation in Radiological Decision Making: Since 1998, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency has been organising a series of workshops to address the various aspects of stakeholder involvement in radiological protection decision making. These workshops have been instrumental in forging consensus and improving understanding of key issues Processes and Implications in this area.

Kessler1, Professor K.J. Chung1, & Professor B.J. Jang1 Abstract In this paper, we examined attitudes of westerners living in South Korea regarding Korean saunas (jjimjilbangs). We surveyed (n=225) westerners living in South Korea who have visited a Korean sauna at least once during their stay. The purpose of our research was to measure subjective attitudes, frequency, and motivation towards sauna usage along with their self-reported health evaluations and basic demographic variables. We hypothesized there would be a positive correlation between the respondent's self-reported health evaluations and the frequency of usage of the spa. Additionally, we hypothesized that there would be a positive correlation between the length of time living in South Korea and the frequency of spa usage. Using the SF-36 to measure self-reported health characteristics, results of our statistical analysis indicate a Pearson Correlation of .428 between the frequency of spa usage and SF-36 respondents scores. Moreover, we found no correlation in the length of staying in Korea and frequency of spa usage. Findings from this research are consistent with the findings from our literature review of the general health benefits of saunas. Keywords: South Korea, tourism, sauna, spa, wellness, health 1. -

Historiography of Korean Esports: Perspectives on Spectatorship
International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 3727–3745 1932–8036/20200005 Historiography of Korean Esports: Perspectives on Spectatorship DAL YONG JIN Simon Fraser University, Canada As a historiography of esports in Korea, this article documents the very early esports era, which played a major role in developing Korea’s esports scene, between the late 1990s and the early 2000s. By using spectatorship as a theoretical framework, it articulates the historical backgrounds for the emergence of esports in tandem with Korea’s unique sociocultural milieu, including the formation of mass spectatorship. In so doing, it attempts to identify the major players and events that contributed to the formation of esports culture. It periodizes the early Korean esports scene into three major periods—namely, the introduction of PC communications like Hitel until 1998, the introduction of StarCraft and PC bang, and the emergence of esports broadcasting and the institutionalization of spectatorship in the Korean context until 2002. Keywords: esports, historiography, spectatorship, youth culture, digital games In the late 2010s, millions of global youth participated in esports as gamers and viewers every day. With the rapid growth of various game platforms, in particular, online and mobile, people around the world enjoy these new cultural activities. From elementary school students to college students, to people in their early careers, global youth are deeply involved in esports, referring to an electronic sport and the leagues in which players compete through networked games and related activities, including the broadcasting of game leagues (Jin, 2010; T. L. Taylor, 2015). As esports attract crowds of millions more through online video streaming services like Twitch, the activity’s popularity as one of the most enjoyable sports and business products continues to soar. -
GEP Mines Paper WISMUT 2007
THE PLURALISTIC EXPERT GROUP ON URANIUM MINE SITES IN LIMOUSIN, FRANCE Didier GAY, Yves MARIGNAC, Annie SUGIER 1 Introduction Growing public awareness of environmental risks as well as new regulations on stakeholder involvement have led authorities in France to set up structures for open dialogue, both at regional and national levels. In the nuclear domain, local information committees, created for each nuclear site, have seen their position and their role reinforced by the 2006 law on nuclear transparency. Similarly, the 2002 law on technological and industrial risks, adopted following the catastrophic explosion at the AZF chemical plant, also stipulates the creation of such committees for high-risk industries. Moreover, it has become apparent that on complex technical subjects prone to controversy, authorities should go one step further and create the conditions for a more open examination of the issues by calling on independent experts, who may be opposed to the projects in question, in addition to the government's usual institutional experts. The Comité de la Prévention et de la Précaution which mission is to advice the French minister for the environment was asked to give its opinion on the expert assessment of industrial accident risks. It produced a report which identified the conditions for conducting expertise jointly with the parties involved. According to this report, the most advanced method of joint expertise is the pluralistic approach. The document stated that pluralism involves calling on a variety of disciplines and practitioners, as well as on representatives of various viewpoints, including those of the stakeholders. This approach is well suited to risk assessment, and a benchmark example of its application in France is provided by the Groupe Radioécologie Nord Cotentin (pluralistic group organised in response to the controversy surrounding the reportedly high rate of leukaemia close to the La Hague site). -
