Pricing Practices, Ranking Practices
Evaluation in Economic Life
The international conference “Pricing practices, Ranking Practices: Evaluation in Economic Life” takes advantage of the anniversary of Zelizer’s book to explore a variety of subjects related to the question of evaluation, from compensation practices to cultural algorithms. By putting in dialogue American, European and French scholars working on evaluation, what can we learn about the construction, implementation, and consequences of pricing and ranking practices in the modern world?

Old Ideals, New Realities
Le paternalisme a longtemps souffert d'une très mauvaise réputation. Marqueur d'une hiérarchie sociale, morale ou politique devenue insupportable, il semblait avoir définitivement disparu (au moins dans ses formes instutionnelles) de nos sociétés libérales et démocratiques. Depuis une dizaine d'années, cependant, le monde universitaire (mais aussi politique) se passionne à nouveau pour sa dernière réincarnation, le paternalisme libertarian ou le « coup de pouce » (Nudges) défendu par l'économiste Richard Thaler et le jursite Cass Sunstein. L'objet de cette journée d'étude interdisciplinaire est de discuter de cette nouvelle légitimité et de s'interroger sur les évolutions théoriques ou sociétales qui pourraient expliquer cette évolution des modes de pensée.

Nine years and counting: Stephen Harper and the new Canada
Canadian Studies Review n°78 (June 2015)
This special issue of Etudes Canadiennes/Canadian Studies intends to explore what’s new in Canada, nine years after the coming to power of the Conservatives, four years after Stephen Harper won the election that gave him a majority government, and at a time when Canada is getting ready for the next federal election. While the contributions are expected to focus on the Conservative initiatives to shape this new Canada, they will also be encouraged to compare them with other societal and global factors that may contribute to a changing Canada.
