Sommario/riassunto

Cette recherche se propose de tester l’hypothèse selon laquelle la fréquentation des musées d’art peut être prédite à partir de la distance entre l’image de soi et l’image que la personne a des visiteurs. L’outil de mesure construit a été utilisé auprès de 381 personnes. L’échantillon composé surtout d’étudiants présente cependant une certaine hétérogénéité du point de vue de l’âge et de la formation. Les résultats montrent en particulier que si la distance entre les images est



positive dans le cas de ceux qui visitent les musées, elle est négative dans le cas contraire. Ceux qui n’ont pas de pratique de visite ont tendance à se sous-estimer par rapport à l’image qu’ils ont du visiteur de musée. Il est alors nécessaire de s’interroger sur un accompagnement qui permettrait de réduire cette distance négative.  This research is intended to test the assumption that art gallery attendance can be predicted from the disparity between self-image and a person’s idea of gallery-goers. The measuring tool devised by us was applied to a sample of 381 persons. Although the sample is made up primarily of students, it displays a certain variety in terms of age and education. The findings show in particular that, while the disparity is positive in the case of gallery-goers, it is negative in the opposite case. The persons who do not go to galleries tend to downgrade themselves in comparison with the image they have of those who do. This illustrates a need to investigate what sort of guidance might succeed in narrowing the negative disparity.

Sommario/riassunto

Recent decades have seen an increasing reliance on private military contractors (PMCs) to provide logistical services, training, maintenance, and combat troops. In Outsourcing War, Amy E. Eckert examines the ethical implications involved in the widespread use of PMCs, and in particular questions whether they can fit within customary ways of understanding the ethical prosecution of warfare. Her concern is with the ius in bello (right conduct in war) strand of just war theory. Just war theorizing is generally built on the assumption that states, and states alone, wield a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Who holds responsibility for the actions of PMCs? What ethical standards might they be required to observe? How might deviations from such standards be punished? The privatization of warfare poses significant challenges because of its reliance on a statist view of the world. Eckert argues that the tradition of just war theory-which predates the international system of states-can evolve to apply to this changing world order. With an eye toward the practical problems of military command, Eckert delves into particular cases where PMCs have played an active role in armed conflict and derives from those cases the modifications necessary to apply just principles to new agents in the landscape of war.
