L’interprétation, en tant que processus cognitif, vise à transférer le vouloir-dire de l’orateur en reformulant le discours dans la langue cible. Ce processus, qu’il soit en consécutive ou en simultanée, exige une gestion efficace des ressources cognitives pour accomplir plusieurs tâches simultanément. Une charge cognitive excessive peut compromettre la performance de l’interprète, d’où la nécessité de développer des compétences cognitives adaptées. Cette étude explore l’impact de la mise en œuvre de doubles tâches sur le développement des capacités cognitives des étudiants en interprétation. Un groupe expérimental a suivi des cours spécifiques intégrant des doubles tâches, tandis qu’un groupe de contrôle n’a reçu aucune formation supplémentaire. Les résultats de cette recherche indiquent une amélioration significative de l’empan mnésique chez le groupe expérimental, mais l’effet sur la performance en interprétation reste incertain. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance de poursuivre les recherches pour mieux comprendre le lien entre les compétences cognitives et la performance en interprétation.

Cet article a pour objectif d’examiner le symbolisme du temps dans Les Pleurs de Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786-1859). Poétesse romantique française, elle s’est distinguée par une écriture lyrique profondément marquée par le deuil, la maternité et la quête d’apaisement intérieur. La poésie de Valmore transmute la souffrance en une vitalité organique, où les forces élémentaires de la nature dialoguent avec l’élan spirituel de l’être. Son imaginaire poétique se révèle alors comme une tension dynamique entre vitalité et temporalité transfigurée. Dans le cadre de cette recherche, nous nous interrogeons sur la manière dont le symbolisme du temps s’inscrit au cœur de cette poétique. En nous appuyant sur Les structures anthropologique de l’imaginaire développée par Gilbert Durand, nous analysons comment les symboles liés au temps structurent l’univers symbolique de la poétesse. Dans ce travail, nous nous proposons de répondre à la question de savoir comment Marceline Desbordes-Valmore transforme, à travers son imaginaire symbolique, l’angoisse liée au passage du temps en une quête spirituelle et poétique apaisante. Pour ce faire, nous analysons six catégories symboliques du régime diurne (thériomorphes, catamorphes, nyctomorphes, ascensionnels, spectaculaires et diaïrétiques), afin de mettre en lumière la fonction consolatrice de sa poésie face à la temporalité, à la condition humaine et à l’angoisse de la mort.

Introduction: The increasing proliferation of artificial intelligence systems and algorithmic decision-making in domains such as criminal justice, employment, resource allocation, and public policymaking has brought about wide-ranging ethical and social implications. Although these systems are often deployed with the aim of enhancing efficiency and neutrality, scientific research shows that algorithms can reproduce or intensify structural discrimination and historical inequalities. This review article adopts an interdisciplinary approach to survey the scholarly literature on the ethics of algorithmic decision-making and to analyze the role of algorithms in justice, discrimination, transparency, responsibility, and accountability. The article focuses on explicating ethical theoretical frameworks, examining social and political consequences, and identifying gaps and contradictions in prior research. Material and Methods: It is a narrative review article that focuses on the existing scholarly literature to analyze the ethical dimensions of algorithmic ethical decision-making. Previous studies were analyzed and then the subject was explained. Conclusion: The findings of this review indicate that addressing the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence requires moving beyond purely technical solutions and paying serious attention to social, institutional, and political contexts. Lack of transparency, diffusion of responsibility, and weak accountability mechanisms can lead to the legitimization of unjust algorithmic decisions. The article concludes that the development and deployment of fair artificial intelligence necessitate ethics-centered design, stakeholder participation, effective institutional oversight, and interdisciplinary, context-sensitive research, so that this technology can serve to reduce discrimination and promote social justice.

In data-driven marketing, customer behavior analysis plays a crucial role in developing targeted marketing strategies aimed at increasing return on investment, enhancing profitability, and gaining a larger market share. In this study, four clustering methods- including K-means, density-based clustering, principal component analysis, and hierarchical clustering- as well as four classification methods- including Support Vector Machine, XGBoost, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting- are examined for customer behavior analysis. The data for this study was extracted from the "Amazon Customer Behavior Survey" dataset, which includes 23 features from 602 customers. Initially, the data was preprocessed, and then, using clustering methods, customers were divided into different groups. The performance of these methods was evaluated based on criteria such as the silhouette index, and ultimately, appropriate marketing strategies for each cluster were proposed. Additionally, to examine the possibility of predicting customer membership in the extracted clusters, the aforementioned classification models were implemented and compared. The results indicate that the K-means method performed the best in clustering, while the XGBoost model performed the best in classification. The innovation of this research lies in combining clustering and classification methods to provide targeted marketing strategies and comprehensively comparing these methods on real customer data. This study demonstrates that combining clustering and classification methods can help businesses better understand customer behavior and make more optimal marketing decisions.

Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) consistently oscillates between the roles of sociologist and novelist throughout his works, and, unlike many other sociologists, he makes conscious and deliberate use of metaphor. The aim of this article is to examine the metaphorical concepts in Zygmunt Bauman’s imagination by employing the “metaphor identification method” and drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Lakoff and Johnson as well as Paul Ricoeur. The findings of the study reveal that Bauman employs metaphors at both the ontological and methodological levels. For Bauman, metaphor is not merely a descriptive tool, but a research strategy for examining abstract and intangible aspects of human life such as inequality, globalization, ethics, suffering, love, solidarity, and oppression. The overarching and central metaphor in Bauman’s thought is liquidity. His other metaphors are subordinate to the metaphor of liquid modernity and are coherently interconnected within this conceptual constellation. He believes the old order is collapsing in the transition from solid to liquid modernity, but the new has not yet been born. Moreover, many of Bauman’s metaphors exhibit temporal, spatial, and binary characteristics. These metaphors allow Bauman not only to describe the complexities of modern society but also to make them experientially accessible and intellectually comprehensible. Bauman’s notion of a liquid society can be seen as a metaphorical extension of concepts such as Giddens’s “late modernity,” Ulrich Beck’s “risk society,” and Lyotard’s “postmodern.” However, Bauman reconfigures and re-narrates these ideas through a distinct theoretical framework inspired by Paul Ricoeur.

This paper is a comparative study of two war novels, namely The Book of Collateral Damage by Sinan Antoon and The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers. Both Antoon, an Iraqi-American author, and Powers, an American writer, describe war critically but from very different points of view. In Antoon’s novel, an Iraqi scholar living in the U.S. during the conflict tries to review the war, collect newspaper pieces of war news, and create a catalogue of the people, the land, and the human and non-human entities he knew before and during the war in Iraq. In Powers’ autobiographical account, the narrator is a young soldier struggling with war trauma and trying to express his bereavement for his dead friend. Both novels address war trauma, but the dimensions of trauma and the way memory and remembering operate in the lives of the narrators are very different. This paper argues that the positionality of the authors determines the way they narrate war. The Iraqi scholar tries to revisit the past and finds recollection a therapeutic act, while the young American soldier is haunted by the memory of his lost friend, and forgetting often becomes a survival strategy for him. The approach used to answer the question—How is war trauma experienced differently on the two sides of the same battlefield?—is a postcolonial one. The study borrows some ideas from postcolonial theoreticians such as Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak to analyse the two novels comparatively.
