Demography of loneliness: growth of celibacy, change in gender relations and North-South contrasts

A profound social metamorphosis today crosses developed societies: the erosion of the couple as a structuring model of privacy. For a long time, as a pillar of social, economic and reproductive organization, the marital relationship loses its normative status and becomes an option among others.

Nostalgia for an Orderly America: Reflections on Obama, Public Ethics and the Cohesion of a Fractured Nation

There are periods of political history whose memory increases in intensity as the present takes on dissonance, friction and turbulence. Obama belongs to this singular category.

Beyond closed doors: the entrepreneurial dynamics of minorities in France

Despite a Republican discourse based on equal opportunities, France continues to allow mechanisms of discrimination to flourish that impede access to employment for persons perceived as having an immigrant background.

Freemasonry in Africa: anatomy of Masonic power at the heart of African elites

Freemasonry occupies a paradoxical place in Africa: numerically minority but symbolically central, discreet in its practices but ubiquitous in imaginary, all the more influential as it remains partially opaque.

Between the Selfs of the Mighty: Anatomy of a People's Untied Power

The thousands of e-mails made public in the context of the Epstein affair have acted as a brutal revealing of what many Americans felt without being able to demonstrate: beyond partisan alternations and major discourses on transparency, the same political-economic, academic, media and technological elite lives in a hermetic one-to-one, protecting each other.

Consumer society: architecture of a system that produces desire, shapes behaviour and cultivates artificial needs

In a world saturated with images, commercial demands and algorithms that sculpt our desires before we even realize it, the consumer society has become the invisible architecture of our behavior. It shapes our aspirations, our frustrations, our identities. It organises the market around a consumer whose needs it claims to satisfy, even then ...
