Cet ouvrage, qui réunit des spécialistes des cités grecques et du royaume ptolémaïque, se propose d’interroger la notion d’identité dans les mondes grecs par le biais des processus d’identification, processus qui conduisent conjointement à singulariser un individu et à le différencier d’un autre pour pouvoir le reconnaître. Il procède de deux objectifs : tenter de dépasser l’effet de rupture suscité par la spécificité des sources conservées pour les cités grecques d’époque classique, d’une part, et pour les royaumes hellénistiques, d’autre part ; confronter la perspective sociale et la perspective juridique afin de cerner ce qui unit et sépare les tenants d’une histoire sociale à proprement parler et ceux qui centrent leurs objets sur les normes juridiques et les pratiques en contexte judiciaire. Un premier groupe de cinq articles interroge ainsi le degré d’implication des instances de la polis ou de l’État monarchique en matière d’identification des personnes (A. Maffi, P. Ismard, U. Yiftach, Y. Broux – avec un éclairage complémentaire offert par M. Béraud pour le monde romain). Six autres contributions explorent plus particulièrement les relations et les tensions entre identifications individuelles et identifications collectives (R. Guicharrousse, M.-L. Sronek, L. Sot, K. Bouillot, S. Wackenier, L. Rossi). Trois études enfin sont centrées sur les pratiques d’identification en contexte judiciaire et parajudiciaire (N. Siron, É. Scheid-Tissinier, G. Baetens).

This is the first full-length study of digital identity in a transactional context, from a legal perspective. Clare Sullivan's analysis reveals the emergence of a distinct, new legal concept of identity. This concept is particularly clear under a national identity scheme such as the United Kingdom and Indian schemes. However, its emergence is evident even in jurisdictions, like Australia, which do not have a formal national identity scheme. Much of the analysis can also be extrapolated to proprietary schemes such as those run by banks and other businesses. An individual’s digital identity which is used for transactional purposes has crucial functions which give it legal personality. The author argues that an individual’s digital identity also has the characteristics of property which can, and should, be legally protected. Identity theft is defined using the emergent concept and the study shows that digital identity is property which capable of actually being stolen and criminally damaged. The study examines the emergence of attendant legal rights and duties including a new right to digital identity and its legal protection. Dr Sullivan argues that an individual has the right to an accurate, functional digital identity and shows that this right exists in addition to the right to privacy. Dr Sullivan maintains that, considering the essentially public nature of identity, the right to identity provides better, and more appropriate, protection than is afforded by the right to privacy. She asserts that the importance of the right to identity in this context has been obscured by the focus on privacy in international legal scholarship and jurisprudence. The functions and legal nature of digital identity are analysed using real examples which highlight the implications for individuals, businesses and government. The findings have the potential to fundamentally change the way digital identity is legally and commercially regarded.

"In this study, I examine the life narrative of a female factory labourer, Elsa Koskinen (née Kiikkala, born in 1927). I analyze her account of her experiences related to work, class and gender because I seek to gain a better understanding of how changes in these aspects of life influenced the ways in which she saw her own worth at the time of the interviews and how she constructed her subjectivity. Elsa’s life touches upon many of the core aspects of 20th-century social change: changes in women’s roles, the entrance of middle- class women into working life, women’s increasing participation in the public sphere, feminist movements, upward social mobility, the expansion of the middle class, the growth of welfare and the appearance of new technologies. What kind of trajectory did Elsa take in her life? What are the key narratives of her life? How does her narrative negotiate the shifting cultural ideals of the 20th century? A life story, a retrospective evaluation of a life lived, is one means of constructing continuity and dealing with the changes that have affected one’s life, identity and subjectivity. In narrating one’s life, the narrator produces many different versions of her/him self in relation to other people and to the world. These dialogic selves and their relations to others may manifest internal contradictions. Contradictions may also occur in relation to other narratives and normative discourses. Both of these levels, subjective meaning making and the negotiation of social ideals and collective norms, are embedded in life narratives. My interest in this study is in the ways in which gender and class intersect with paid labour in the life of an ordinary female factory worker. I approach gender, class and work from both an experiential and a relational perspective, considering the power of social relationships and subject formations that shape individual life at the micro-level. In her narratives Elsa discusses ambivalence related to gendered ideals, social class, and especially the phenomenon of social climbing as well as technological advance. I approach Elsa’s life and narratives ethnographically. The research material was acquired in a long-standing interview process and the analysis is based on reflexivity of the dialogic knowledge production and contextualization of Elsa’s experiences. In other words I analyze Elsa’s narratives in their situational but also socio-cultural and historical contexts. Specific episodes in one’s life and other significant events constitute smaller narrative entities, which I call micro-narratives. The analysis of micro-narratives, key dialogues and cultural ideals embedded in the interview dialogues offers perspectives on experiences of social change and the narrator’s sense of self"

Since its emergence in the late 19th century, coloured identity has been pivotal to racial thinking in southern Africa. The nature of colouredness is a highly emotive and controversial issue as it embodies many of the racial antagonisms, ambiguities and derogations prevalent in the subcontinent. Throughout their existence coloured communities have had to contend with being marginal minorities stigmatised as the insalubrious by-products of miscegenation. Burdened By Race showcases recent innovative research and writing on coloured identity in southern Africa. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines and applying fresh theoretical insights, the book brings new levels of understanding to processes of coloured self-identification. It examines diverse manifestations of colouredness, using interlinking themes and case studies from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi to present analyses that challenge and overturn much of the conventional wisdom around identity in the current literature.

Human Remains and Identification presents a pioneering investigation into the practices and methodologies used in the search for and exhumation of dead bodies resulting from mass violence. Previously absent from forensic debate, social scientists and historians here confront historical and contemporary exhumations with the application of social context to create an innovative and interdisciplinary dialogue, enlightening the political, social and legal aspects of mass crime and its aftermaths. Through a ground-breaking selection of international case studies, Human Remains and Identification argues that the emergence of new technologies to facilitate the identification of dead bodies has led to a "forensic turn", normalising exhumations as a method of dealing with human remains en masse. However, are these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons?

The characteristic vortex formation in the ventricles is believed to be affected at an early stage of heart diseases. First, post-processing of patient-specific data has to be standardised. The chosen methods, a combination of Eulerian and Lagrangian techniques, are characterised by means of necessary spatial and temporal resolutions. Second, the goal is to find the best cost-benefit approach for modelling of the mitral valve, as it affects vortex formation and progression in the left ventricle.

Concern identification aims to find the implementation of a functional concern in existing source code. In this work, concerns are described, using the Hierarchic Concern Model, as gray-boxes containing subconcerns, inputs, and outputs. The inputs and outputs are used as concern seeds to identify data-oriented abstractions of concern implementations, called concern skeletons. The identification approach is based on context free language reachability and supported by a tool, called CoDEx.

Control systems at production plants consist of a large number of process variables. When detecting abnormal behavior, these variables generate an alarm. Due to the interconnection of the plant's devices the fault can lead to an alarm flood. This again hides the original location of the causing device. In this work several data-driven approaches for root cause localization are proposed, compared and combined. All methods analyze disturbed process data for backtracking the propagation path.

Les récents développements politiques et juridiques en France tendant vers une ratification de la Charte européenne des langues régionales ou minoritaires montrent que la thématique des langues minoritaires, bien qu'elle ne soit pas toujours au premier plan, ne perd jamais de son actualité. Le présent ouvrage résulte d'une recherche pluridisciplinaire menée dans le cadre du Groupe de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les Langues Minoritaires en Europe (GRILME) et du programme Langues minoritaires et marges linguistiques en Europe, soutenu par le Conseil régional d'Aquitaine. Associant des juristes et des linguistes, tant universitaires que praticiens, ce Groupe de travail a organisé de nombreux séminaires et journées d'études autour d'un but commun : identifier et catégoriser les langues minoritaires en Europe occidentale. C'est à partir de ces rencontres, riches et variées, que le présent ouvrage a été conçu. Cette étude fait apparaître une situation contrastée. Si la tendance à la protection des langues minoritaires est désormais généralisée en Europe occidentale, sous l'impulsion notamment du Conseil de l'Europe, la façon dont elles sont appréhendées et protégées varie grandement d'un espace à l'autre, d'une région à l'autre, en fonction de ('Histoire et de la structuration politique.
