Je vais essayer d’écrire un texte plus développé a ce propos mais personnellement, je trouve ce genre d’émission dangereuse parce qu’elles contribuent à fabriquer l’illusion d’un présent post MeToo où ça irait mieux. Comme si performer le féminisme sur le service public réglait le problème…

L’Affaires sensibles sur le meurtre de Hélène Legotien est difficilement audible.

Tellement de choses fausses dites sur Legotien en quelques minutes (la-maitresse-de-Paul-Vaillant-Couturier)…

It's a VERY intellectual history day for me and it's fun

Solange Manche @smanche.bsky.social · 8d

Et aussi beaucoup de choses qu'on omettrait en anglais. Du type : dire d'où vient un.e chercheus.e.s ou même de mentionner sa discipline.

Solange Manche @smanche.bsky.social · 8d

Il n'y aucune blague. Vous écrivez juste beaucoup 🙃

Oui, j'ai Deleuze puis Derrida & Lacan sur Poe. Je pense que ce sont les textes qui viennent le plus rapidement à l'esprit.

Contrairement à ce qu'affirme François Bayrou pour justifier une énième réforme de l'assurance-chômage, la France n'est pas plus généreuse que ses voisins avec les personnes privées d'emploi.

Arrêtons de stigmatiser les chômeuses et chômeurs !

History of Finance: is there any history out there of special purpose vehicles? I can only find general histories, placing SPVs within the general history of structural finance in the 70s...
