The Chinese have, since ancient times, professed a non-litigious outlook. Similarly, their preference for mediation has fascinated the West for centuries. Mediation has been popularized by the ...Chinese who subscribe to the Confucian notions of harmony and compromise. It has been perpetuated in the People's Republic of China and by the overseas Chinese communities elsewhere, such as in Malaysia and Taiwan. Seen as the chief contributing factor in their litigation-averse nature, as well as the reason behind the significant role given to traditional mediation, this compelling book traces the cultural tradition of the Chinese. It uses rural Chinese Malaysians as illustrative examples and offers new insights into the nature of mediation East and West. It is an important reference and essential resource for anyone keen to learn about traditional Chinese concepts of law, justice and dispute settlement. Equally, it makes a unique contribution to the existing ADR literature by undertaking a socio-legal study on traditional Chinese mediation.

The Stranger at the Feast is a pathbreaking ethnographic study of one of the world’s oldest and least-understood religious traditions. Based on long-term ethnographic research on the Zege peninsula ...in northern Ethiopia, Tom Boylston tells the story of how people have understood large-scale religious change by following local transformations in hospitality, ritual prohibition, and feeding practices. Ethiopia has undergone radical upheaval in the transition from the imperial era of Haile Selassie to the modern secular state, but the secularization of the state has been met with the widespread revival of popular religious practice. For Orthodox Christians in Zege, everything that matters about religion comes back to how one eats and fasts with others. Boylston shows how practices of feeding and avoidance have remained central even as their meaning and purpose have dramatically changed from a means of marking class distinctions within Orthodox society to a marker of the difference between Orthodox Christians and other religions within the contemporary Ethiopian state.

Cet article vise à mettre en évidence les effets cliniques d’un dispositif de musique immersive utilisé comme lieu de médiation thérapeutique auprès d’enfants autistes. L’immersion musicale étant ...basée sur l’hypothèse que l’espace est une composante du timbre, il s’agit donc de croiser de manière inédite deux grandes questions problématiques de l’autisme : l’espace et la voix. Pour ce faire, les référentiels psychanalytiques post-freudiens et lacaniens sont mobilisés et discutés.
Après avoir présenté techniquement le dispositif immersif et expliqué les caractéristiques spatiales et esthétiques des œuvres qui y sont jouées, les auteurs déploient le cas clinique d’un enfant autiste de 11 ans et en repèrent différents temps. Les effets de contenance apparus initialement se sont vite trouvés limités, et le dispositif presque rejeté par l’enfant. Ce n’est qu’à l’occasion d’une œuvre basée sur différentes spatialisations d’une voix que l’enfant a pu réinvestir le dispositif et la relation avec le soignant en qualité de double, allant jusqu’à inventer des jeux l’incluant. Pour éclairer les effets subjectivant de ces séances, les auteurs font un premier rappel du rapport spécifique que le sujet autiste entretient avec la voix comme objet a, en s’appuyant notamment sur la notion de « délocalisation de la voix » qui est active dans tous les dispositifs de mise à distance du timbre, ce dernier étant compris comme un des noms du Réel de la voix. L’article s’attache ensuite à décrire précisément les caractéristiques spatiales de l’œuvre à laquelle l’enfant s’est montré si sensible en renouvelant son rapport à l’autre. Or, après analyse, l’œuvre en question s’avère en fait être composée non pas d’un seul espace unifié ou unifiant, mais de plusieurs espaces sonores, parfois diffusés simultanément.
La notion de délocalisation de la voix est alors confrontée au fait que l’œuvre de musique immersive peut offrir bien plus qu’un simple point de délocalisation de la voix dans le même espace : elle offre l’expérience de plusieurs espaces sonores simultanés, ce que nous proposons de nommer une « délocalisation de la délocalisation de la voix », permettant d’alléger d’autant plus le sujet autiste de ce que Lacan appelle le « poids réel du sujet » mis en jeu par l’objet voix.
L’article est l’occasion de plusieurs points de discussion : d’une part, les œuvres musicales immersives ne doivent pas être considérées comme recréant un environnement sonore réaliste (de type réalité virtuelle), mais bien comme proposant des espaces sonores impossibles. À ce titre, il existe un enjeu aussi bien esthétique qu’éthique dans l’usage clinique qui peut être fait de ces dispositifs musicaux immersifs. D’autre part, la construction de l’espace autistique ne relève pas seulement du regard mais aussi de la voix en sa dimension pulsionnelle. Enfin, la délocalisation de la délocalisation de la voix permettrait au sujet autiste d’en expérimenter la part atopique, c’est-à-dire son impossible localisation. La construction de l’espace se ferait donc autour d’un point atopique.
L’article cherche à démontrer l’intérêt que la clinique des médiations thérapeutiques par l’art peut trouver dans les recherches actuelles en composition électroacoustique, permettant de relancer les questionnements théorico-cliniques aussi bien sur l’espace que la voix. La dimension immersive est ainsi prise à la fois sur son versant musical et son versant transférentiel.
The aim of this article is to highlight the clinical effects of an immersive music device used as a therapeutic mediator with autistic children. As musical immersion is based on the hypothesis that space is a component of timbre, the aim is to bring together in a novel way two major problematic issues in autism: space and voice. To do this, post-Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytical references are mobilized and discussed.
After a technical presentation of the immersive device and an explanation of the spatial and aesthetic characteristics of the works played on it, the authors describe the clinical case of an 11-year-old autistic child and identify the different stages of the relationship. The initially observed effects of containment were quickly limited, and the child almost rejected the system. It was only during a work based on different spatializations of a voice that the child was able to reengage with the device and with the relationship with the caregiver as “a double,” going so far as to invent games that included him. To shed light on the subjectivizing effects of these sessions, the authors first recall the specific relationship that the autistic subject has with the voice as an “a object,” relying in particular on the notion of “delocalization of the voice,” which is active in all devices for distancing the timbre, the latter being understood as one of the names of the Real of the voice. The article goes on to describe in detail the spatial characteristics of the work to which the child was so sensitive in renewing his relationship with the other. After analysis, the work in question turns out to be composed not of a single unified or unifying space, but of several sound spaces, sometimes broadcast simultaneously.
The notion of the delocalization of the voice is then confronted with the fact that the work of immersive music can offer much more than a simple point of delocalization of the voice in the same space: it offers the experience of several simultaneous sound spaces, which we call a “delocalization of the delocalization of the voice,” making it possible to relieve the autistic subject of what Lacan called the “real weight of the subject” implied by the voice object.
The article raises several points for discussion: firstly, immersive musical works should not be considered as recreating a realistic sound environment (of the virtual reality type), but rather as proposing impossible sound spaces. In this respect, there are both aesthetic and ethical issues at stake in the clinical use that can be made of these immersive musical devices. Moreover, the construction of autistic space is not just a matter of the gaze but also of the voice in its impulsive dimension. Finally, the “delocalization of the delocalization” of the voice would enable the autistic subject to experience the atopic part of it, i.e. its impossible localization. Space is thus constructed around an atopic point.
The article seeks to demonstrate how the clinical use of therapeutic mediation through art can intersect with current research in electroacoustic composition, making it possible to revive theoretical and clinical questions about both space and voice. The immersive dimension is thus considered from both a musical and a transferential perspective.
