If a translator is ignorant of the concerns and opinions of the queer audience, then a work of queer fiction can quickly alienate its readers

Eventually, because the kind of translation Mami needed required an unearthing of cultural context, colonialism, and history, we decided that I would interpret for Mami.

My sister was not interested in those cures. I did not blame her.

My sister was sick because of PTSD and trauma, but these words did not mean anything to my mother, who believed her daughter was sick because of witchcraft.

I was always impressed that my brain could perform such a task, that I could listen and immediately translate, and then, while still speaking, tune out my own voice and listen again, translate again, continue to speak, following the speaker’s thoughts.

This team is led by scholars working collaboratively on methodologies for ‘topological’ analysis of spatial organization, orientation, configuration, and transformation in social processes, technologies, practices, and cultural production

mon écologie à moi, cela ne sera pas l’écologie des symboles, cela sera l’écologie à impact : l’énergie décarbonée avec le nucléaire et le renouvelable, la transformation de nos villes pour réduire les îlots de chaleur, la rénovation des logements, des hôpitaux, des écoles. Le chantier est immense. Je ne donne de leçons à personne.

Egrenant les futurs sujets de sa campagne, le candidat d’Horizons a également évoqué l’immigration, pour laquelle il promet de « sauver le droit d’asile en écartant fermement toutes celles et ceux qui l’utilisent à contre-emploi ».

conférer davantage d’autonomie aux directeurs d’établissement scolaire pour en faire des « patrons »

chaque élève de France ait accès à un soutien scolaire universel, combinant assistant IA personnalisé et brigades de professeurs, voire d’anciens professeurs et d’étudiants volontaires

M. Philippe « assume » en revanche de dire aux retraités qu’ils devront « contribuer davantage au financement de notre modèle social », « aux cadres et aux employés du secteur public et privé qu’il faudra travailler plus longtemps » et « à l’Etat, à ses agences, aux collectivités, que les Français attendent d’eux qu’ils se serrent la ceinture et donnent l’exemple ».

Lors du sommet Choose France, Microsoft a annoncé un investissement historique de 4 milliards d’euros en France, le plus important jamais réalisé par l’entreprise dans le pays.

Elle constitue surtout un formidable moteur d’innovation mais aussi d’inclusion

ambition partagée pour une innovation durable

les liens qui nous unissent n’ont cessé de se renforcer

Pour financer ce déploiement et soutenir les petites et moyennes scieries, indispensables à la transformation de ces bois, il faut réorienter les aides publiques qui vont aujourd’hui massivement vers le bois-énergie, et mieux conditionner celles qui financent les plantations

Il y a quelques jours, le ministre délégué chargé de la transition écologique, Mathieu Lefèvre, a renvoyé aux calendes grecques – 2028 – la révision du cahier des charges de ce plan de plantation d’arbres, alors que sa ministre de tutelle, Monique Barbut, s’était engagée à le revoir avant juillet.

« Qu’il faille intervenir davantage, oui. Mais la question, c’est comment », considère de son côté Christophe Chauvin, pilote du réseau forêts de France Nature Environnement. Où ce milliard d’arbres sera-t-il planté ? Avec quelles essences ? Et de quelle manière ? En se basant sur des travaux de modélisation, le comité du CSFB identifie les territoires qui seront concernés : les surfaces incendiées et dépérissantes, qui continueront à augmenter, mais aussi des peuplements considérés comme vulnérables, à adapter. Et des « forêts pauvres mais avec un fort potentiel de bois d’œuvre », qu’il est possible d’améliorer.

benefit-sharing must be legally enforceable, not dependent on corporate goodwill

Communities make their acceptance conditional on operators demonstrating that extraction is compatible with environmental protection through innovation, rather than accepting conventional mining methods.

What communities demand is transparent demonstration from independent public-interest sources that the raw material is genuinely essential for EU strategic objectives

Communities consistently expressed: “We will not sacrifice our environment for someone’s profit or speculative demand”.

Research from the Horizon Europe CIRAN project reveals that 85% of Europe’s critical mineral raw material occurrences are located either beneath environmentally protected areas or within a five kilometre proximity

The trust deficit is compounded when communities perceive that CRMA benefits accrue to distant Brussels or multinational corporations while burdens – environmental impacts, social disruption, landscape transformation – are concentrated locally and persist across generations

Opposition to mineral projects in Europe typically stems not from the “not in my backyard” syndrome often invoked dismissively, but from a profound disconnection between EU-level policy priorities and local interests

technical, economic and regulatory feasibility are necessary but insufficient

Due to this overwhelming single-country dependency, the European Commission has placed it on the bloc's Critical Raw Materials list to accelerate domestic extraction, processing and recycling initiatives.

Dependent products refer to parts and raw materials that are needed to build a final product

According to Eurostat, EU imports from China totalled €559.4 billion in 2025, a figure that has grown 89% since 2015, generating a trade deficit of €359.8 billion. In 2025 alone, EU exports to China fell by 6.5% while imports rose by 6.4%.

The senior Commission official's remarks come as the European Union is struggling to diversify its supply of critical raw materials

But the EU executive seems determined to continue the road of environmental deregulation to boost the bloc's competitiveness.

permitting delays, fragmented regulation and environmental approval processes as incompatible with the "geopolitical urgency"

Europe should move faster than democratic systems would prefer

Europe should also invest heavily in domestic refining infrastructure, even if environmental standards and labor costs make it less competitive in the short term

significant budgetary differences

some key raw materials, such as rare earth metals, which are not found in Europe, prompted the bloc to forge 16 partnerships to date with various nations

the EU set out domestic targets to increase the availability of critical raw materials by 2030 — 10% of extraction, 40% of refining and 15% of recycling — under rules adopted in 2024

in the race towards climate neutrality, minerals like lithium, cobalt and graphite have the same strategic value as oil and gas did in the 20th century, citing increased geopolitical interest over rare earths.
