Y a-t-il des travaux sur la transformation du métier de conseiller bancaire ? Il y a l'exemple célèbre de Bessen sur cmt les distributeurs de billets n'ont pas supprimé d'emplois chez les guichetiers, car ils sont devenus conseillers. Mais il s'arrête en 2015... Il y a des choses nouvelles ? 🤔🤔

Portrait de Gaël Giraud, avec le titre de l’article « enquête sur les ombres d’un prodige ».

Un texte sur fond sombre :

Une enquête préliminaire a été ouverte par le Tribunal pénal canonique national (TPCN) en novembre 2025, à la demande de son ordre, pour recevoir et étudier plusieurs témoignages dénonçant du harcèlement, allant possiblement jusqu’au viol.

Un signalement a également été effectué auprès du procureur de la République. Contacté par La Vie, Gaël Giraud conteste l’ensemble des faits.

Comment en est-on arrivé là ?

The Margins of the Field: Rediscovering Agricultural Economists for the History of Ideas by Federico D’Onofrio This think piece is part of a JHI Blog forum, “The Return of Political Economy in Intellectual History.”

In a new piece for the JHI forum on political economy, Federico D’Onofrio discusses the rise of a class of "agricultural economists" as part of a broader trend intersecting with and going beyond "rural modernism" in twentieth-century Europe.

It was only a matter of time. The Italian government has turned against the universities as well. The pretext is the @unibo.it's refusal to establish a program for army officers. U of B is being described as "the headquarters of a political party." The truth: there is no money to pay the lecturers.

Oxford Word of the Year 2025 poster featuring the term 'rage bait' with an image of a fishing hook, set against a pink and white background.

Oxford Word of the Year poster featuring the term "rage bait." The text defines it as a noun, originating from a compound of the words 'rage' and 'bait,' described as "an attractive morsel of food, on the model of the already existing clickbait." The background is soft pink with abstract design elements.

When the state limits “unacceptable decision making” by women about their own bodies, both women and the babies they’re forced to have are at increased risk of death. Stock is not a feminist. She’s a death enthusiast.

Dear #skystorians, could you please guide me towards an *early* French historiography of World War II and the early postwar (1945-1948)? I am only finding either testimonies/biographies or things related to Algeria/resistance. Thanks!
