Personnellement, ça fait longtemps que je me suis lassé de Saussure

reference lists should asterisk the sources you actually read

This is terrible news. I feel lucky I got to know him. I was amazed that he would attend your seminars on Foucault along with litigating anti-terror policies and helping out protesters pro bono. I hope his generosity, wit and passion will inspire many. Thank you, Tom...

He was indeed a generous and inspiring person. Very sorry to hear about his passing.

Parlementer n°4 : « Il manque un adulte dans la pièce » Alors que ce sont bientôt les vacances parlementaires, le « découragement démocratique » règne à l'Assemblée. Un sentiment réel, qui a plusieurs conséquences.

Lieu de traduction entre la volonté politique et l'action publique, le SGG est aussi garant du respect de l’État de droit. A l'heure où la volonté politique s'oriente de plus en plus vers des formes d'illibéralisme, quelle serait cette "réaction différente" dont parle JM Sauvé ? Où est-elle ?

Un régal, merci !

ournal Article The asymmetrical negotiation of legal certainty: neutral places in taxation law in France Corentin Durand , Jérôme Pélisse Socio-Economic Review, mwaf036, https://doi.org/10.1093/ser/mwaf036 Published: 24 June 2025 pdfPDF Split View Cite Permissions Icon Permissions Share Icon Share Abstract This article argues that face-to-face professional events where regulators and regulated parties engage in civil and scholarly conversations about the law, such as conferences, seminars, and training sessions, are central to how regulations are interpreted and applied—an understudied aspect of regulatory capture. Critically revisiting Bourdieu and Boltanski’s notion of neutral place, we reconceptualize these events as places where dominant agents of a particular field come together to agree on unifying rules of competition—in the case of tax law that of legal certainty. Using data from semi-structured interviews, as well as statistical analysis and event observations in the field of tax law in France, we show how the structure of these events and the interactions among experts, in a contested move, shift the burden of predictability onto tax regulators, by expecting them to stabilize rule interpretation to leave room for private actors’ strategic uses of the law.

Vraiment mérité, quel livre formidable !

Élise Penalva-Icher, La Frustration salariale. À quoi servent les primes ?, Paris, Sorbonne Université presses, coll. « L’intelligence du social », 2024, 224 p. Pas encore de compte ?

Mon compte rendu du livre ”La Frustration salariale. À quoi servent les primes ?“ de @elisepi.bsky.social vient de paraître dans le dernier (super) numéro de la Revue Française de Socio-Économie : shs.cairn.info/revue-revue-...

Theoretically, this paper revisit the notion of "neutral place" (Bourdieu and Boltanski, 1976) as sites where the field’s unifying rules of the game (the “illusio”) are discussed and agreed upon by its dominant agents. As such, they are actively constructing the very field in which they compete.

We show how the structure of these events and the interactions among experts assert legal certainty as a "good in itself" and shift the burden of predictability onto tax regulators, by expecting them to stabilize rule interpretation to leave room for private actors’ strategic uses of the law.

As sociologists of the law, we think that regulatory capture cannot be grasped only at the level of norm production. We need to look at how tax law is interpreted and enforced in discreet settings.

This has important political implications, as most calls for fiscal reform focus only the former.

This article aims to clarify what happens when opposing tax law elites meet (colloquia, conferences, training sessions, seminars) and engage in scholarly discussions about the law.

We believe these places are instrumental in shaping the co-production of economic legality to the benefit of some.

Jusqu'ici, j'ai pas réussi à comprendre comment ça pouvait fonctionner, mais j'avoue que ce serait vraiment un des usages des LLM dont je serais friand!
