  1. They write about the Middle Ages, about archaism, with these soothsayers, sorcerers and wizards. And they justify this by the desire to protect themselves from all those around them - "dangerous" for the functionary and his scope of power, by hiring "disinterested", "not a competitor", "someone who helps"...

  7. La victoire fait l’État : guerre, légitimation et trajectoires institutionnelles en Amérique latine

    Schenoni (2021) renverse le lieu commun : en Amérique latine, ce n’est pas la guerre en soi qui fait l’État, mais le résultat de la guerre — la victoire ou la défaite — qui verrouille durablement des trajectoires de consolidation ou d’affaiblissement. #war #state #history #geopolitics #politics Dans “Bringing War Back in: Victory and State Formation in Latin America”

  8. Irrigation, pouvoir et despotisme : ce que Claessen conteste chez Wittfogel

    H. J. M. Claessen (1973) montre que l’irrigation ne produit pas mécaniquement le despotisme : les grands travaux hydrauliques peuvent renforcer un pouvoir déjà centralisé, mais ils n’en sont pas la cause unique. #waterManagement #hydraulicInfrastructure #centralization #state #anthropology #power Dans “Despotism and Irrigation”, H. J. M. Claessen discute la thèse célèbre de Karl Wittfogel selon…

  9. Quand la guerre fragilise l’État : bureaucratie, militarisation et fragmentation dans la Chine des Cinq Dynasties

    Une étude récente (Li Li, 2024) nuance fortement la thèse classique selon laquelle la guerre fabrique automatiquement des États plus forts : dans la Chine des Cinq Dynasties et Dix Royaumes, elle a souvent nourri la fragmentation plutôt que la centralisation. #war #state #China #centralization #fragmentation #history #politicalPhilosophy L’étude examine le…

  15. #State #media #control influences #LargeLanguageModels (#LLMs)

    #Nature

    "Millions of people around the world query LLMs for information. Although several studies have compellingly documented the persuasive potential of these models, there is limited evidence of who or what influences the models themselves, leading to a flurry of concerns about which companies and governments build and regulate the models. Here we show through six studies that government control of the media across the world already influences the output of LLMs via their #TrainingData. We use a cross-national audit to show that LLMs exhibit a #stronger #ProGovernment valence in the languages of countries with #LowerMediaFreedom than in those with higher media freedom. The combination of influence and persuasive potential across languages suggests the troubling conclusion that states and powerful institutions have increased strategic incentives to leverage media control in the hopes of shaping LLM output."

  20. Both #ICE & the #State Dept are under pressure from the White House to find places to deport immigrants whom the govt cannot send to their home countries, usually because a judge has ruled that they will most likely face #persecution & #torture there.
    As a workaround, the #Trump admin has been cutting deals with countries that are willing to accept these immigrants. #Congo had agreed to accept some deportees, but refused on medical grounds to accept Zapata, court records show.

    Pour Carneiro, la formation des États ne relève pas d’un simple surplus agricole : elle naît quand des populations sont enfermées dans un espace circonscrit, où la concurrence pour les terres pousse à la centralisation politique. #state #anthropology #circumscriptionTheory La théorie de la circonscription de Robert Carneiro propose une idée simple mais puissante : l’État émerge lorsque…
