An equivocal word Values, Valori, Valeurs, Werte: the words have practically the same meanings in the main scholarly languages. But in each of these languages, there is the same ambiguity. The papers for this session are themselves an expression of this ambiguity. This paper and the paper by Guido Mongini are about “values” in the sense of deeply held convictions. The papers by Laurent Feller and Marie-Luce Demonet are about monetary values and the exchange value of things. It would serve no ...

International audience; The second volume of this specialized continued collection of research papers “Glazed Pottery of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea Region, 10th – 18th Centuries” contains studies of mass archaeological materials — glazed pottery — from a vast region encompassing countries from the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Far East and Eurasian steppes, dated by the High and Late Middle Ages. The goal of this continued edition is to attract the attention of the medievalists to glazed pottery and, particularly, to introduce earlier unknown archaeological complexes with glazed pottery and results of various physical-chemical studies of ceramic clays and glazes for scientific discussion. The volume includes contributions from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Russia, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, USA, Uzbekistan and is meant for specialists in history, archaeology, ceramic studies, ethnography, museum studies, history students and all those interested in medieval material culture.

International audience; A large body of literature has emphasised the importance of every day forms of resistance in the workplace. In this paper, we seek to overcome the criticism of localism and banality that has been directed towards the everyday view of individualistic resistance as well as the limits of the conception of creative resistance that aims to co-produce change within a given system of power. To do this, we highlight and discuss the ideas concerning resistance generated by the film Modern Times, and more particularly by the tramp’s character. We focus on a local, highly individual, spontaneous and not formally organized kind of resistance, but one that builds on dissensus and reconfigures the order of a situation radically. Relying upon Rancière’s philosophy, we develop a conception of resistance that takes the form of affirmation rather the mere reaction to a system of domination. This allows us to underscore the power of the ‘aesthetic regime’ in understanding individual resistance as part of a universal claim for equality.; Une abondante littérature a souligné l’existence de nombreuses expressions de résistances quotidiennes au sein des organisations. Ces formes de résistances ont cependant été critiquées pour leur incapacité à remettre en cause les systèmes de pouvoir au sein desquelles elles s’expriment. Dans cet article, nous cherchons à surmonter ces critiques de localisme et de banalité au travers d’un dispositif analytique mobilisant le film Les Temps modernes, et plus particulièrement le personnage de Charlot. En nous éloignant des interprétations classiques du film comme dénonciation du taylorisme, nous proposons d’envisager le personnage de Charlot comme une figure originale de résistance organisationnelle en mesure de reconfigurer radicalement l’ordre établi. En nous appuyant sur la philosophie de Jacques Rancière, nous développons une conception de la résistance qui prend la forme d'une affirmation plutôt que la réaction à un système de domination. Cela nous conduit à souligner la puissance du « régime esthétique » et à envisager la dimension universelle de la résistance individuelle comme une revendication à l’égalité.
