Full textAbstract:
Naturalisations do not happen automatically – unlike the acquisition of nationality at birth – but must be brought about deliberately. The varying ways naturalisations are organized in any society therefore offer an opportunity to gain clues as to which criteria are assumed to be relevant for the respective definition of national belonging. This introduction argues that most research on naturalisation still focusses on Western states, and that theories of naturalisation are largely derived from Western cases. It describes the ethnocentric bias of much of the universalizing comparative research on naturalisations, and outlines the main reasons for the lack of research beyond the West. It then presents the articles on naturalisation policies in the Global South brought together in this special issue. The contributions analyse ethnically exclusive nationality laws in Liberia and Israel; selective two-tier regimes of immigrant incorporation in Hong Kong and Singapore; investor citizenship schemes which are much more common in the Global South than in the North, exemplified by the case of Mauritius; and Mexico, whose norms assign naturalised Mexicans the status of “second-class citizens”.

Abstract The notion that naturalisation matters for the economic integration of immigrants is well established in the literature, but why and to whom that is, remains surprisingly ambiguous. The citizenship premium is traditionally assumed to result from increased labour market access and positive signalling towards employers, but these mechanisms fail to explain increased earnings derived from paid employment, which has been the predominant focus in most studies. We argue that naturalisation needs to be understood in the context of the life course, as immigrants anticipate rewards and opportunities of citizenship acquisition by investing in their human capital development. Insofar as naturalisation subsequently leads to higher earnings, we expect that the citizenship premium mostly reflects better employment opportunities rather than access to better paying jobs. To test these assumptions, we use high-quality register data from Statistics Netherlands, covering the period 1999–2011. These data contain almost all registered foreign-born individuals in The Netherlands (N = 74,531) and allow us to track immigrant cohorts over time. Results show that naturalisation confers a one-time boost in earnings after naturalisation, but particularly for migrants from economically less developed countries and unemployed migrants. Furthermore, earnings develop faster leading up to naturalisation than afterwards, consistent with the notion of anticipation. The relevance of citizenship for employed immigrants in part results from an increase in working hours, but is not explained by variation in labour market sectors. We conclude that citizenship matters in terms of earnings from labour, but that its impact is not universal and manifests predominantly leading up to naturalisation.

Full textAbstract:
Naturalisation provides not only access to the full range of rights and opportunities that are due to citizens, but also contributes to the formation of a sense of belonging to the host country, which is an important factor in social cohesion. In the globalisation context, migration processes are of particular importance, as the growing number of migrants in many countries necessitates their effective integration. Naturalisation is one of the mechanisms that facilitates the involvement of migrants in the political life of the country, giving them the right to vote and the opportunity to participate in the formation of public policy. The article focuses on the challenges and obstacles that migrants may face during the naturalisation process, including legal barriers, cultural and linguistic differences. Overcoming these challenges is important to facilitate the full integration of migrants into society.
Based on an analysis of different naturalisation models, the paper examines how different countries approach the process of migrant inclusion. For example, some countries offer simplified naturalisation procedures for certain categories of migrants, while others require longer residence and demonstration of language and cultural proficiency. It is emphasised that naturalisation is a key factor in ensuring the harmonious integration of migrants into the socio-political structures of the host country. This not only contributes to economic growth and social stability, but also paves the way for a more inclusive and multicultural society.
The importance of naturalisation for the political inclusion of migrants also lies in the strengthening of democratic institutions. Migrants who are naturalised as citizens have the opportunity to influence political decisions and elections, which contributes to the representation of diverse groups in political processes. This, in turn, leads to fairer and more balanced governance that takes into account the interests of all segments of society, including migrants. In addition, naturalisation promotes social cohesion, as migrants who become full citizens often feel more responsible for the welfare of the host country. This can stimulate greater volunteer and civic engagement, which is important for the development of a strong and cohesive society. The naturalisation process also has economic benefits.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses the issues of intercultural contacts and presents historical experiences that relate to contemporary phenomena of the increased flow of migration. The relationship between acculturation and naturalisation and the concepts of integration of colonial peoples with France during the Third French Republic and the colonial empire have been examined. These concepts assumed integration through acculturation and assimilation, and the instrument conducive to this process was to be naturalisation. The article refers to archival material and explores individual cases of naturalisation in Tunisia during the period of the French protectorate. The documents prove that the act of naturalisation itself did not lead to greater acculturation. The main obstacle to acculturation expected by the French authorities was the constant identification of naturalised indigènes with native culture through socialization with the native environment.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability is gaining a firm presence within the discipline of architecture in spite of the number of obstacles with which it has been challenged: either confronting detractors, sceptics, and the discredit resulting from the abusive use of the term as a marketing tactic, or dealing with the actual practicalities inherent to its implementation. This heightened environmental consciousness increasingly engrained within the profession is solidly supported by a growing social, political and media interest, which has impelled new regulations and the involvement of new experts like physicists, engineers, and ecologists in the design process. This phenomenon is transforming architectural practice and design techniques, moving the focus from a mechanical perspective of architecture (tectonics, construction, materiality, structure) to a biotechnical approach which attempts to equip the architect with instruments to regard buildings as living structures permanently exchanging energy with their environment. Using the environment as a creative generator for design has prompted the emergence of new aesthetic models in current architectural design. The access to new tools, together with new concerns and ways of thinking, have opened new lines of intervention that seem to affect the profession in a more fundamental way. The focus of this paper is to provide an account of these cultural constructs as experimental aesthetic systems, with the intention of not only clarifying their principles and objectives, but also reflecting on the design techniques associated to them. Ultimately, this paper provides a reflection on the role of aesthetics in sustainable design, and on the critical question: is sustainability finally becoming an intrinsic part of architecture?

Terrier, Morgane. "Naturalisation des débits." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris, AgroParisTech, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020AGPT0006.
Full textAbstract:
Les séries de débits observés au fil du temps comportent à la fois la trace des variations climatiques naturelles et des altérations hydrologiques dues aux activités humaines. Or, l'accès aux débits naturels s'avère souvent nécessaire afin d'optimiser la gestion de la ressource en eau ou encore pour le contrôle réglementaire des usages. Ainsi, depuis plus d'une vingtaine d'années, plusieurs méthodes de naturalisation, permettant de passer d'un débit influencé à un débit naturalisé, sont appliquées en conditions opérationnelles. Nous avons cependant constaté que, dans les études, une seule méthode de naturalisation était appliquée, bien souvent sans justification de son choix, et que les débits naturalisés obtenus était abusivement considérés comme des valeurs exactes de débit naturel.L'objectif principal de cette thèse est de mettre au point une méthode permettant d'évaluer la fiabilité des méthodes de naturalisation. La principale difficulté est que, sur la période influencée, il n'est pas possible de comparer directement les débits naturalisés au débit naturel réel puisque ce dernier n'est pas observable. La démarche adoptée se base sur la mise en place d'une base de données d'environ 130 bassins versants situés en Australie, aux États-Unis et en France. Ces bassins-versants sont principalement influencés par des grands barrages-réservoirs. La taille et la diversité de la base de données en terme de conditions climatiques et niveau d'influence nous a permis d'identifier des résultats généraux selon les caractéristiques des bassins et des ouvrages.Les résultats montrent que les débits obtenus avec les différentes méthodes de naturalisation présentent des disparités, parfois très importantes. Ces dernières s'expliquent par le fait que les méthodes de naturalisation reposent sur des hypothèses et des données d'entrées différentes. La méthodologie proposée pour évaluer la fiabilité des méthodes se décompose en deux parties. La première partie consiste à évaluer les hypothèses de chacune des méthodes de naturalisation et d'écarter les méthodes dont les hypothèses ne sont pas respectées. La deuxième partie consiste à évaluer les méthodes de naturalisation par rapport à une référence externe similaire et d'attribuer un niveau de confiance à chacune des méthodes. Puis, une approche combinatoire est appliquée pour produire des débits naturalisésThe observed flow series include natural climatic variations and hydrological alterations due to human activities. Access to natural flows is necessary to optimise water resource management or for the regulatory control of uses. Naturalization methods enable to reconstitute "natural" flows from influenced measurements. In the studies, generally only a single naturalization method is applied, without justification of its choice, and that the naturalized flows are considered as an exact estimate of natural flow.The main objective of this thesis was to develop a method to assess the reliability of naturalization methods. The main difficulty is that, over the influenced period, it is not possible to directly compare the naturalized flows with the natural flow which cannot be observed. The approach adopted is based on a database of approximately 130 catchments in Australia, the United States and France. These catchments are mainly influenced by large dams. The size and diversity of the database in terms of climatic conditions and level of influence allowed us to obtain quite general results according to the characteristics of the basins.Results show that there are significant disparities in the flows obtained with the different naturalization methods. These differences can be explained by the fact that the naturalization methods are based on different assumptions and input data. The methodology proposed to assess the reliability of the methods in divided in two parts. The first part consists in assessing the assumptions of each of the naturalization methods and discarding those methods that do not validate the assumptions. The second part consists in evaluating the naturalization methods against a similar benchmark and assigning a confidence level to each of the methods. A combinatorial approach is then applied to produce naturalized flows

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I argue that David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40) contains an attempt to naturalise what was often called the principle (or faculty) of ‘conscience’. More precisely, I claim (in Chapters 1 and 2) that Hume intended his Treatise account of the passions of pride and humility to provide a more epistemically stable explanation of our self-approving and self-disapproving affections than those that he found in his contemporaries (namely, Joseph Butler and Francis Hutcheson). A project he conceived as his drawing the causes of these passions under the same general principles used to explain the operations of the understanding. I then claim (Chapter 3) that this epistemic project continues into Book Three of the Treatise, as an attempt to provide an explanation of our ‘sentiment of right and wrong’ with stronger foundations in reason than any previous attempt to explain this moral phenomenon using the methods of experimental natural philosophy.

Full textAbstract:
In the early section of the thesis I argue for a position which endorses what is usually considered to be an unacceptable paradox: the paradox of the Naturalisation Idealism (hereafter, ‘the paradox’). The paradox occurs most vividly in the work of Arthur Schopenhauer, a philosopher who claimed notoriously that the brain is responsible for the ideality of the whole world even though the brain is itself an object within the world. I argue that there are four key philosophical intuitions whose indubitability leads to the paradox, but I suggest that the paradox may be considered in a more positive light by construing the intuitions in terms of a key analogy. I call the resulting position ‘contraspectivism’. Contraspectivism enables us to countenance what I call a ‘four-fit’ between the key philosophical intuitions, with a ‘fulcral’ role for the brain in connecting them. I claim that this position comprises a ‘Copernican turnaround’: a position which upholds Kant’s Copernicanism but which nonetheless explicates it according to the original reality of the world within which the brain is environed. I allege that three philosophers, in particular, are committed – explicitly or implicitly – to the tenets of contraspectivism, namely, Schopenhauer, Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson. I also suggest that the paradox is embedded within the ‘justified true belief’ construal of knowledge. In the penultimate section I assess Schopenhauer’s claim that there is an ‘originary’ thing-in-itself – knowable as the ‘will’ – within which the terms of the paradox can be reconciled. I reject the notion that any entity could possibly possess the kind of ‘maybeing’ necessary to fulfil this conciliatory role, and I criticise David Cooper’s doctrine of ‘mystery’ in the light of this discussion. I conclude that contraspectivism offers a solution to what Cooper calls the problem of ‘alienation’ in philosophy; but it is a solution which asserts that the terms of the supposed problem are actually perfectly acceptable as they stand.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse interroge un acte d'institution, la naturalisation, à partir de l'expérience qu'en ont ceux qui s'y soumettent. Il s'agit d'articuler les trajectoires d'étrangers devenus Français aux cadres de l'action de l'Etat, dont le droit de la nationalité est un outil essentiel. On s'attache d'abord à restituer les enjeux de la distinction national/étranger pour montrer son importance avec l'émergence de l'Etat social. Le national devient un privilège à défendre, enjeu des réformes du droit de la nationalité dont la naturalisation constitue le coeur : elles réaffirment les frontières de la nation et les qualités du "bon" français, chargeant la nationalité d'une ambiguïté, entre droit et essence culturelle. Puis on s'intéresse à la carrière morale de Français par acquisition pour saisir les espoirs et les désillusions de la nouvelle condition. Celle-là consiste en l'expérience d'un hiatus entre status juridiques et réalités ordinaires. Malgré la pérennité de la présence de l'étranger en France, le rappel de son caractère temporaire installe le hiatus. Si la naturalisation permet de disparaître comme étranger sans quitter le territoire, elle n'est pas qu'une opération juridique et s'accompagne d'un contrôle des qualités du candidat. Cette logique de l'honneur est vécue sur le mode du soupçon qui anticipe la future condition de Français : l'interrogation récurrente sur l'origine signale un Français "extra"-ordinaire. La naturalisation opère ainsi une distinction entre Français, entre ceux dits de souche et ceux par acquisition. Ce dernier qui conduit à repenser les frontières de la nation et à entrevoir un groupe paradoxal de "nationaux étrangers"The dissertation analyses the naturalization from the point of view of the naturalized. The intention is to articulate a link between the trajectories of foreigners becoming French and the frames of action of the State that finds in the right to grant nationality an essential tool. I proceed from reconstructing the stakes of the distinction national/foreigner in order to highlight its importance for the invention of the welfare state. The national becomes a privilege; it is at stake in legal reforms of nationality by reaffirming the boundaries of the nation and the qualities of the "good" French. Thereafter nationality is imbued with ambiguity, coalescing a right and a cultural essence. Then I look at the moral careers of the "French by acquisition" in order to seize hopes and disillusionment from the novel situation, an experience of a cleavage between legal status and everyday reality. In spite of the continuous presence in France, the reminder of its temporary character creates a hiatus. Naturalization allows the disappearance of the foreigner without him physically leaving the national territory. However, it is an operation accompanied by a controlled assessment of the candidate's quality. The logic of honour is experienced through the suspicious anticipations regarding the future situation of such French citizen. Recurrent questioning of his origin signals his Frenchness as "extra"-ordinary. Naturalization thus institutes a distinction between the French, the true-born on the one hand and those with acquired Frenchness on the other. Such a distinction invites to rethink national boundaries and to dissect a paradoxical group of "foreign nationals"

Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude de l'injonction à l'assimilation dans la procédure d'acquisition de la nationalité française entre 1927 et 2007. Dans un premier temps, la question est de savoir quand et pourquoi a-t-on exigé des candidats à la naturalisation d'être « assimilés» pour devenir français. Une approche socio-historique montre comment l'« assimilation» est devenu un concept à la fois religieux, politique et scientifique et comment ses divers usages et significations ont été déterminés par l'appropriation dans différents champs discursifs et par sa circulation entre métropole et colonies. La naissance de la condition d'assimilation dans le droit de la nationalité est analysée en fonction des configurations sociales et politiques spécifiques des situations coloniale et métropolitaine. Dans un second temps, il s'agit de savoir comment l'administration chargée des naturalisations mesure l'« assimilation» des candidats. Une analyse socio-historique et ethnographique (en préfecture) met en lumière l'invention des critères d'assimilation et les usages administratifs qui en sont faits, déterminés par la conjoncture historique, la concurrence de logiques administratives, les pratiques des agents subalternes et la « naturalisabilité» des candidats. La vérité objective de la naturalisation est particulièrement bien révélée par les cas de refus de naturalisation pour « défaut d'assimilation », qui concernent principalement des femmes et/ou des musulmans. L'étude du contentieux administratif relatif au « défaut d'assimilation» soulève les questions du hijab, de la polygamie et de l'« islamisme» dans la procédure de naturalisationThis thesis investigates the injunction to assimilate in the procedure for acquiring French citizenship between 1927 and 2007. Firstly, l analyze the reasons and the circumstances surrounding which naturalization applicants were first required to be 'assimilated' in order to become French citizens. A socio-historical approach will demonstrate how “assimilation” came to be at once a religious, political and scientific concept and how its various uses and meanings were determined by its circulation in different discursive fields and between the French metropolis and its colonies. The inception of the assimilation requirement in French citizenship law is analyzed with reference to specific social and political configurations in both colonial and metropolitan situations. Secondly, I examine how the administrative bureau responsible for processing naturalization applications gauges candidates' level of “assimilation”. Socio-historical and ethnographic research conducted in local bureaucracy brings into sharp relief the invention and administrative uses of “assimilation” criteria, which are largely determined by historical circumstances, competing administrative approaches, the practices of street-Ievel bureaucrats and the “naturalisability” of the candidates in question. The objective reality of naturalization comes to the fore in cases where candidates have been denied naturalization for failure to 'assimilate' which mainly concern women and/or Muslims. The study of administrative litigation related to the failure to assimilate (défaut d'assimilation) raises issues such as the headscarf, polygamy and Islamic fundamentalism within the naturalization procedure

Full textAbstract:
L’introduction ou la reconfiguration de différents instruments dans les politiques d’immigration des États européens, depuis la fin des années 1990, suscite une controverse théorique vis-à-vis des formes de solidarité (politico-juridique, morale, ethnoculturelle…) que ces États présupposent entre membres de la « communauté nationale ». À travers la mise en place de tests de citoyenneté, de cérémonies de naturalisation, etc., l’hypothèse d’une affirmation de conceptions plus « épaisses » du lien de citoyenneté – c’est-à-dire moins ouvertes à l’expression d’une pluralité d’identités individuelles et/ou collectives au sein de la « communauté nationale » – se trouve au centre de la discussion. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans cette controverse en se focalisant sur les justifications de l’exclusion de la naturalisation en France et au Royaume-Uni, telles qu’elles se révèlent dans la mise en œuvre des conditions juridiques permettant de la refuser ou de la retirer. Pour déterminer le degré d’épaisseur du lien de citoyenneté dans chacun des deux pays ainsi que son évolution dans la période récente, l’analyse mobilise différentes théories (libérale, républicaine, communataurienne et libertarienne) et prête attention aux héritages institutionnels des politiques considérées. S’intéressant à la fois aux discours publics concernant l’intégration dans la « communauté nationale » et aux pratiques administratives où celle-ci se négocie quotidiennement, elle nuance fortement l’idée d’une divergence historique entre la France et le Royaume-Uni du point de vue de l’épaisseur conférée au lien de citoyenneté, et complexifie celle de leur convergence récente dans des conceptions plus épaissesFrom the 1990s onwards, the introduction or the reconfiguration of different policy instruments in the immigration policies of European states have sparked a theoretical controversy regarding the type of solidarity (juridico-political, moral, ethnocultural, etc.) that these states assume to exist between members of the ‘national community’. Through the implementation of citizenship tests, citizenship ceremonies, etc., the hypothesis of an affirmation of ‘thicker’ conceptions of citizenship – less open to the expression of a plurality of collective and individual identities within the ‘national community’ – has taken centre stage. This dissertation addresses this controversy by concentrating on the justifications of exclusion from naturalisation in France and the UK, namely incidences when naturalisation is either refused or revoked. To analyse the ‘thicker’ or ‘thinner’ character assigned to citizenship in the two countries and to assess its potential transformation over the last thirty years, the thesis draws on liberal, republican, communitarian and libertarian political theories and takes the institutional legacies of naturalisation and denaturalisation policies into account. It also examines the public discourses regarding integration into the ‘national community’ and the practices of officials who negotiate this integration. In so doing, it challenges the supposed historical divergence of citizenship conceptions in France and the UK, as well as the idea of a recent convergence between the two towards ‘thicker’ definitions of national membership

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the question of divine action in the mind: Is human consciousness a uniquely nonphysical causal joint wherein divine intentions meet natural realities without contravening lawlike physical processes? It is argued that consciousness is not uniquely spiritual but wholly natural (and possibly physical). However, this need not lead to the conclusion that divine action in the mind does not occur. Rather, this thesis argues that noninterventionist causal joint programs (such as those privileging the mind as uniquely open to divine action) are both scientifically implausible and theologically insufficient, resting on questionable metaphysical presuppositions that are not necessitated by either theology or the natural sciences. By discarding the God-nature model implied by contemporary noninterventionist divine action theories, one is freed up to explore theological and metaphysical alternatives for understanding divine action in the mind (and elsewhere). It is argued that a theologically robust theistic naturalism offers a more compelling vision of divine action in the mind than that offered by standard causal joint theories. By affirming that to be fully natural is to be involved with God’s active presence, one is then free to affirm divine action not only in the human mind, but throughout the natural world. This thesis is divided into two parts. Part One engages with the scientific and philosophical literature surrounding human consciousness, and uses debates about the nature of the mind to offer a sustained analysis and critique of what is termed the “standard model” of divine action. It is argued that the noninterventionist, incompatibilist model of divine action that has spurred the development of various causal joint theories is scientifically and theologically insufficient, and that this is seen particularly clearly in recent theories locating (and constraining) divine action in the emergent human mind. Chapter 2 analyses the contemporary divine action scene, arguing that the standard model presumes noninterventionism, incompatibilism, and a high view of the laws of nature. However, the God-world relationship implied by this model is theologically insufficient. Chapter 3 examines Philip Clayton’s divine action theory, which locates divine action in the emergent human mind and is the latest manifestation of the causal joint model described in Chapter 2. After using emergence theory itself to critique Clayton’s approach, the thesis then examines the philosophy and science of consciousness, in Chapters 4 and 5. It is suggested that a physicalist understanding of the mind is a well-supported position. Part Two of the thesis reframes divine action in the mind within an explicitly theological framework. The thesis does this by analysing what is termed the “theological turn” in divine action debates – the recent tendency to react against standard causal joint theories by rejecting the idea that science can say anything about how and whether divine action occurs. Proponents of the theological turn instead understand divine action from explicitly theological perspectives, affirming compatibilist models in which God is seen to work in, through, and with natural processes – precisely because God is never absent from nature in the first place. Such an approach allows theologians to accept physicalist explanations of the mind, precisely because all the natural world is necessarily involved with God. Chapter 6 introduces this theological turn by exploring various versions of naturalism, ultimately suggesting that neither philosophy nor science mandates the sort of metaphysical naturalism assumed not only by those who deny divine action, but (ironically) noninterventionist divine action theorists as well. Chapters 7, 8, and 9 then introduce, compare, and contrast three different versions of strong theistic naturalism: Thomism, panentheistic naturalism, and pneumatological naturalism. While each of these explicitly theological frameworks is distinctive, they share an affirmation of the intimate relationship between God’s immanent, active presence in the natural world, and suggest the naturalised mind as a relatively intense locus of divine action, as human minds actively participate in and with God. It is concluded that the participatory ontology supported by these theistic naturalisms does, after all, suggest the mind as a locus of intensified divine action – but for very different reasons than those motivating causal joint theorists.

Full textAbstract:
Nous étudions, dans la thèse présente, la notion d'expérience dans la philosophie de Whitehead. Nous tenons cette notion pour un concept, et nous en exposons les raisons. La philosophie de Whitehead s'inscrit dans ce qu'on nomme aujourd'hui, et depuis Quine ; la Naturalisation. Nous avons donc, avec Whitehead, une naturalisation de l'expérience, que nous contextualisons dans l'époque qui était la sienne (la fin du XIXe siècle et le premier quart du XXe), et avec la nôtre. Quand on compare certains aspects de la philosophie cognitive avec la philosophie de Whitehead, on trouve beaucoup de points de convergence. Nous en éclairons certains, et montrons la pertinence de la pensée du philosophe. Nous avons construit notre thèse comme on construirait un corps ; en partant des éléments les plus simples, jusqu'à la conscience et au langage ; soit du sentir le plus physique, au langage le plus abstrait. Cela nous permet de mettre en lumière toute l'épistémologie whiteheadienne, qui est considérable. Tout l'arrière-plan épistémologique de Whitehead n'a qu'un seul but : offrir un nouveau paradigme à la pensée de l'expérience. L'enjeu de notre thèse est de faire comprendre qu'une théorie de l'expérience est un préablable absolument nécessaire à toute théorie dite "supérieure" (de la conscience, de l'intentionalité, ou encore de l'esprit). Une de nos découvertes majeures est que l'empirisme est inadéquat pour toute théorie de l'expérienceWe study, in the present dissertation, the notion of experience in the philosophy of A. N Whitehead. We hold this notion for a concept, and we expose its reasons. The philosophy of Whitehead inscribes itself in what we call today, and since Quine, the Naturalization. We have then, with Whitehead, a naturalization of experience, that we put in context ; in his own period (the end of the XIX century and the first quarter of the Twentieth), and ours. When we compare some aspects of cognitive philosophy with the philosophy of Whitehead, we find many points of convergence. We enlighten some of them, and show the relevance of the thought of our philosopher. We have built our thesis like one would build a body ; by starting with the simplest elements, up to consciousness ; that is, from the most physical feeling, to the most abstract language. That allows us to shed light on the entire epistemology of Whitehead, wich is impressive. The all epistemological background of Whitehead has only one pupose : To offer a new paradigm for the thinking of experience. The aim of our dissertation is to make understandable that a theory of experience is absolutely necessary before any "superior" theory (of consciousness, of intentionality, or of the mind). One of our major discover is that empiricism is inappropriate for any theory of experience

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn Europe there is substantial variation in the costs associated with applying for citizenship both between countries and over time. Yet how the costs of applying for citizenship affect naturalisation rates among immigrants remains remarkably understudied. In the Netherlands, application fees increased markedly in recent years from 336 euro in 2003 to 901 euro in 2020 for a single application, with significant hikes in the fee in 2010 and 2011. While simultaneous policy changes in civic integration requirements for long-term residence obfuscated the effects of higher fees and likely resulted in higher naturalisation rates among non-EU immigrants, we expect that for EU immigrants increased fees directly affected the cost-benefit calculation of applying for citizenship. Hence, in this chapter, we analyse naturalisation rates among EU immigrants in the context of increasing application fees by using longitudinal microdata from administrative registers on the complete immigrant population between 2007 and 2014. We use a two-step identification strategy. First, we apply a single-difference regression, based on a fixed-effects model, to investigate immigrant naturalisation rates in conjunction with increased application costs. We subsequently explore impact heterogeneity by household income and use a double-difference regression, based on a difference-in-differences model, to test whether the relevance of the fee increase is conditioned by income groups. Results show that increased fees are associated with an overall declining trend in naturalisation rates, especially for immigrants from low-income households. The impact of the fee increase for low-income migrants is comparable in magnitude to the relevance of having a low rather than high level of education for the propensity to naturalise. These results contribute to existing research on economic requirements for immigrant naturalisation and highlight the disproportionate consequences of high application fees.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWhile immigration has played a major role in public debate in the UK over the past twenty years, citizenship and naturalisation have received much less attention. Polling data have suggested that the UK public is broadly supportive of the idea of giving long-term migrants the opportunity to become UK citizens (British Future, 2020). The UK Home Office, in its 2019 Indicators of Integration Framework, described citizenship as an “important bedrock to the integration of any individual in a society” (Ndofor-Tah et al., 2019: 18). Indeed, there is some evidence that becoming a citizen has a positive impact on economic and social integration. For example, the OECD (2011) found that naturalisation was associated with labour market outcomes of many groups of foreign nationals in France, Germany, Sweden and the United States, particularly for the most disadvantaged. Studies from Switzerland and Germany have also shown positive social and economic impacts of naturalisation (Hainmueller et al., 2017; Gathmann & Keller, 2018; but see also Bartram, 2019); and that those who naturalise increase their attachment to British Identity (Bartram, 2021).

Full textAbstract:
How to observe the process of naturalization to take it into account in an academic enunciative ethics? This article presents a problematization of the naturalization of socio-digital concepts in the context of conflicts of interest, of an epistemic order, specific to the academic eristic framing of digital technologies. . This problematization is implemented, by a definition of the ethical values and academic integrity of critical research on socio-digital devices (section 2), and the presentation of a case study of work on the algorithm in France (section 3), in a sociosemiotic approach based on grounded theory. It points to a paradoxical phenomenon: the critical function of academic research and university teaching on the uses of digital technologies is threatened by the interdisciplinary implications specific to their social, legal, economic and political issues.

Full textAbstract:
À partir d’un ancrage en didactique des sciences, c’est la dynamique entre sujet de la recherche (chercheur, scientifique…) et objet de recherche (les contenus au sens large) qui est ici centrale. Dans cette contribution, les sciences sont d’abord analysées comme discipline d’enseignement explorant les questionnements autour de la conscience disciplinaire des sujets, de la naturalisation des concepts, des différentes recontextualisations possibles (que celles-ci soient en lien avec l’espace de leur élaboration ou avec les choix politiques et sociétaux d’une époque). Les sciences sont ensuite pensées comme le fruit de l’activité du scientifique. En effet, penser la science ne peut pas se concevoir en faisant abstraction du sujet premier de la recherche : le chercheur lui-même. Il se caractérise par ses spécificités, ses singularités qui prennent place dans l’espace théorique culturel et partagé. Mettre de côté les singularités du sujet chercheur n’est pas plus objectif que de choisir de les identifier, d’apprendre à les connaître, à les définir pour les contrôler sans les nier. Ainsi, sont alors interrogées les notions plus rarement mises en relation avec ce champ, comme celle de communauté, d’invention, de religion ou encore d’émotion.
