- PublicationA Contrastive Study of Arabic and Persian Formulas Against the Evil Eye used by Women(2015)
; Yousefian, SaloomehIn Islamic societies, there exists the belief that a compliment can attract the'evil eye' unless it's accompanied by expressions that invoke God's protection. The purpose of this research is to analyze the use of these expressions and to conduct a contrastive study of Arabic and Persian formulas against the evil eye. In this research, the importance of these expressions and the use of courtesy formulas in responses to compliments about appearance and possessions are analyzed. Participants of the research are: 10 female native speakers of Arabic (between 19 and 24 years old) and 10 female native speakers of Persian (between 27 and 40 years old). Women were chosen in the study as they use more frequently formulas that invoke God's protection. All of them claimed to believe in the evil eye. Participants are requested to view two short videos in which the characters are talking about their appearance and possessions. Once they watch the videos, they recreate the dialogues in their own languages. The researchers analyze the use of formulas against the evil eye and the compliments responses and conduct a comparative study of the use of these formulas in Arabic and Persian.96 144 - Publication

; Belli, ChristinaDans le contexte des profondes mutations éducatives induites par les nouvelles technologies , le présent article entreprend d'examiner l'apprentissage du FLE dans le cadre des MOOCs. Il fait un tour d'horizon des dispositifs existants avant d'en exposer la structure et les différentes caractéristiques. Nous montrerons qu'en dépit de nombreuses limites inhérentes à la technologie, l'apprenant en autoformation pourrait tirer avantage des MOOCs. Plus encore que dans d'autres contextes d'apprentissage, les clefs de la réussite sont l'implication personnelle, la motivation, l'autonomie mais également les situations d'interactions linguistiques et sociales avec les pairs virtuels. Mots-clés : FLE, MOOC, TIC, autoformation, autonomie, apprentissage par les pairs. Abstract In the context of profound educational changes induced by new technologies, this article aims to examine the subject of learning French with MOOCs. It establishes a picture of existing MOOCs before the presentation of their different characteristics and structure. Despite their limits due to their technological nature, we will show how MOOCs could be beneficial for a self-taught learner. The keystone of the success of this mode of learning lies in the personal involvement in the classes, the motivation, the autonomy but also in linguistic and social interactions with virtual peers.390 96 - PublicationArabité et poésie allemande : Adonis ou la nation des poètes(2007)The poetical work of the Syrian poet Adonis tries to answer the question of identity in a rather complex way. The problem arising in his works is the following: how can you affirm your Arabic cultural identity if your whole work intends to study universality? And how can you take over the role of prophet for the entire humanity, if your poetry, at the same time, intends clearly to offer a new approach to Arabic poetical traditions? Adoni's work is settled in the middle of these contradictions, and tries not to solve them, but to explore them. To achieve this, Adonis uses the East not only geographically but also intellectually as a symbol of resistance against the way of life and the thinking of the West. Hence, poets of German romanticism and French poets become in his eyes poets of the Orient and therefore distinguished allies for his poetical theory.

The case of the electric vehicle Demand forecasting for disruptive innovations is a major challenge for professionals and academics. This article addresses the issue by building an original spatial model, USIDDI (User-centric SImulation for the Deployment of Disruptive Innovations) on the analysis of individuals’ compatibility with the innovation. We empirically test the model on the electric vehicle market and emphasize the nature of the recommendations that should be made to companies and governments to accelerate the scaling-up of disruptive innovations.
