  • The (in)securitization practices of the three universes of EU border control: Military/Navy – border guards/police – database analysts
    Security Dialogue, 2014
    Co-Authors: Didier Bigo
    Abstract:

    What practices of (in)securitization involve the notions of border and border control in the European Union? How do these practices operate? How are they assembled? In the resulting assemblage, is the notion of borders – understood as state borders – still relevant for the control of individuals and populations moving across the frontiers of the EU? Drawing on empirical observations and with a specific focus on how border control is translated into different social universes, this article seeks to show that practices of control are routinely embedded in a practical sense that informs what controlling borders does and means. This practical sense is itself informed by different professional habitus and work routines involving deterrence and the use of force, interrogation and detention, surveillance of populations on the move and the profiling of (un)trusted travellers. Its strength varies in relation to its Shared Dimension by most of the operators, and is adjusted to the materiality of borders as well as ...

  • Research of Indicator System Based on Data Warehouse
    Computer Technology and Development, 2007
    Co-Authors: Liu Li-zhi
    Abstract:

    Government and industry always use form to collect data,the data item of form is called indicator.Different government departments and industry need different types of indicators.Indicator system describes indicator structure in a general way,so it can create different indicators for different applications.The indicator data size is often in great capacity and closely related to the time,so puts the data in the data warehouse is reasonable.The great indicator data stored in data warehouse also sets up the base for OLAP and data mining.In this paper,discuss the relational structure of the indicator system and the combining process of practical indicator.Then explain the Shared Dimension and fact data table within indicator system multi-Dimension dataset.Finally give the applications of indicator system based on data warehouse.

  • William T. Cavanaugh and René Girard
    Political Theology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Michael Kirwan
    Abstract:

    AbstractThis article examines the argument of William T. Cavanaugh’s The Myth of Religious Violence in the light of the mimetic theory of the French-American cultural theorist Rene Girard. Though the two projects are significantly different I argue for their mutual compatibility. Each author is “apologetic” for the Christian revelation, though the presence of theology in “The Myth . . .” is muted or implicit, as in Walter Benjamin’s parable of the puppet and the dwarf. I argue for four areas of specific convergence between Cavanaugh and Girard, arising from a Shared Augustinian, “two Cities” suspicion of the state, and their resistance to the secularising marginalisation of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The notion of martyrdom as a “dramatic” performance is a further Shared Dimension. Finally, I argue that the apparent divergence of their approaches, between an anthropological thesis (Girard’s) and a historical one (Cavanaugh’s) is narrowed when we consider the later work of Girard and its examination of...

  • William T. Cavanaugh and ReneGirard: The Myth of Religious Violence
    2014
    Co-Authors: Michael Kirwan
    Abstract:

    This article examines the argument of William T. Cavanaugh’s The Myth of Religious Violence in the light of the mimetic theory of the French-American cultural theorist Rene Girard. Though the two projects are significantly different I argue for their mutual compatibility. Each author is ‘‘apologetic’’ for the Christian revelation, though the presence of theology in ‘‘The Myth...’’ is muted or implicit, as in Walter Benjamin’s parable of the puppet and the dwarf. I argue for four areas of specific convergence between Cavanaugh and Girard, arising from a Shared Augustinian, ‘‘two Cities’’ suspicion of the state, and their resistance to the secularising marginalisation of the JudeoChristian tradition. The notion of martyrdom as a ‘‘dramatic’’ performance is a further Shared Dimension. Finally, I argue that the apparent divergence of their approaches, between an anthropological thesis (Girard’s) and a historical one (Cavanaugh’s) is narrowed when we consider the later work of Girard and its examination of nineteenth century dynamics of escalation in warfare in his last book Battling to the End.
