Cette étude prend en considération quelques extraits de discours scientifique / académique (trois contributions parues le volume du colloque Enseigner la littérature à l’université aujourd’hui qui s’est déroulé à l’Université Aix-en-Provence, du 10 au 12 mars 2011) qui plaident en faveur de (continuer) l’enseignement de la littérature, afin de faire ressortir quels sont les arguments enchaînés et la typologie du raisonnement argumentatif utilisé pour gagner l’adhésion du public. En outre, cette analyse du discours rend possible le parallèle avec des exemples de discours ordinaire (la section de commentaires qui suit l’article « Pourquoi il faut continuer d'enseigner les classiques de la littérature ? » écrit par Catherine Marle-Guyon et publié le 23 mars 2013) où des locuteurs, dont l’appartenance socio-professionnelle n’est pas toujours présentée et, si elle l’est, elle n’est pas vérifiable, introduisent leur position en mobilisant des ressources linguistiques qui seront, elles-aussi, soumises à notre analyse. De surcroît, en prenant comme cadre théorique général le modèle dialogal de l’argumentation (Plantin 2005, 2010), cette étude vise à répondre aux questions suivantes: a) quels sont les points faibles et les points forts du contexte socio-économique qui favorisent ou, au contraire, entravent l’étude de la littérature ? b) dans quelle mesure le couple « discours / contre-discours » est-il actualisé dans le corpus sur l’enseignement de la littérature? Discourse and counter-discourse on the teaching of literature at university The fact that the teaching of literature goes through a period of questioning and reconsideration is no longer a novelty: numerous conferences, scientific publications and opinions of non-specialists disseminated through media point to an epistemological crisis in the teaching of literature in general, and to a didactic and methodological crisis in the teaching of French literature to foreign learners, in particular. In this context, this study takes into account several cases of scientific/ academic discourse, namely, three contributions published in the proceedings of the conference Enseigner la littérature à l’université aujourd’hui which took place at Aix-en-Provence University, France, 10–12 March 2011. These contributions argue in favour of (continuing) teaching literature and are discussed in this study in order to highlight the arguments and the typology of argumentative reasoning used to gain and/or to strengthen the audience’s commitment. In addition, this discourse analysis makes it possible to draw parallels with examples of ordinary speech, as seen in the comment section that follows the article Pourquoi il faut continuer d'enseigner les classiques de la littérature? written by Catherine Marle-Guyon and published 23 March 2013. In the comment, the speakers, whose socio-professional status is not always identifiable, express their attitude by mobilizing linguistic resources, which will be subjected to our analysis, too. Moreover, taking the dialogic model of argumentation (Plantin 2005, 2010) as a general theoretical framework, this study aims at answering the following questions: (a) what are the strengths and weaknesses of the socio-economic context favouring or, on the contrary, hindering the study of literature? (b) to what extent do the notions of discourse/ counter-discourse find practical anchorage in the corpus of the teaching of literature? In this study, the counter-discourse does not refer to the stance against teaching literature (because any reasonable individual, researcher, teacher or not, is aware that literature is necessary for education and human fulfilment), but to the stance against certain arguments wrongly rooted in the collective consciousness that would justify the study of literature. Key words: literature; argument; counter argument; type of reasoning.

AbstractAim: To present the inappropriate types of authorship and practice, and the most recent developments related to basic principles and criteria to a fair system for allocating authorship in scientific publications.Methods: An analysis of relevant materials and documents, sources from the internet and published literature and personal experience and observations of the author.Results: Working in multidisciplinary teams is a common feature of modern research processes. The most sensitive question is how to decide on who to acknowledge as author of a multi-authored publication. The pertinence of this question is growing with the increasing importance of individual scientists' publication records for professional status and career. However, discussions about authorship allocation might lead to serious conflicts and disputes among coworkers which could even endanger cooperation and successful completion of a research project. It seems that discussion and education about ethical standards and practical guidelines for fairly allocating authorship are insufficient and the question of ethical practices related to authorship in multi-authored publications remains generally unresolved.Conclusion: It is necessary to work for raising awareness about the importance and need for education about principles of scientific communication and fair allocation of authorship, ethics of research and publication of results. The use of various forms of education in the scientific community, especially young researchers and students, in order to create an ethical environment, is one of the most effective ways to prevent the emergence of scientific and publication dishonesty and fraud, including pathology of authorship.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the methodological heritage of V.V. Golubkov, to establish links between the practical activities of the teacher and his scientific publications, teaching and methodical manuals, the definition and updating of the main directions of research of the scientist’s methodological system. The article uses the comparative historical research method, with the use of memoirs and archival sources. The authors characterize the methodological concept of V.V. Golubkov as fundamental and theoretically substantiated, based on the achievements of pedagogy, psychology, literary criticism. The article highlights the main features of this concept: the significance of the issues of methodology and methodical thesaurus in research on the methodology of teaching literature; “psychologism” as attention to the personality of the reader, their reading interests, and features of the artistic perception; a take on literature as human knowledge expressed in artistic images; considering reading as a creative process; the development of specific techniques for the modern reading of classics and the development of critical thinking of students; statement of the problem of stimulating personal memories, emotions, imagination and independent judgments of students; introduction of the concept of “sense of proportion in the study of a work of art”, etc. In conclusion of the article, the authors deduce that the methodological system of V.V. Golubkov has laid the foundations for teaching literature in the 20th century and can be regarded as a tradition that still retains its significance and relevance in the face of changing sociocultural realities and approaches to the study of literary text in lessons of literature.

AbstractThe article describes and analyses contrasting forms of protest employed by handloom weavers in South India at two key points in time – the early nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. Following Tilly, it examines how changes in the state’s regulatory regime influenced modes of resistance, but extends this analysis to the influence of production structures and social/cultural factors such as caste. It also maps internal structures of solidarity and the changing role of caste and class in shaping them. It tries to show how repertoires of resistance altered with changes, not just in the regulatory regime, but the broader socio-economic context, and foregrounds their adaptability and dynamism. It explores forms of protest and organization shared by weavers with workers from a wide range of occupations (including factory workers). Above all, it questions the notion of the unchanging character of “primordial” identities while seeking to provide a fuller understanding of the emerging dynamic of collective consciousness amongst non-factory workers in modern India.

Abstract. What narrative is deemed most compelling to justify anti-immigrant sentiments when a country’s economy is not a cause for concern? We predicted that flourishing economies constrain the viability of realistic threat arguments. We found support for this prediction in an experiment in which participants were asked to take on the role of speechwriter for a leader with an anti-immigrant message (N = 75). As predicted, a greater percentage of realistic threat arguments and fewer symbolic threat arguments were generated in a condition in which the economy was expected to decline than when it was expected to grow or a baseline condition. Perhaps more interesting, in the economic growth condition, the percentage realistic entitlements and symbolic threat arguments generated were higher than when the economy was declining. We conclude that threat narratives to provide a legitimizing discourse for anti-immigrant sentiments are tailored to the economic context.
