Les mots du vote de la Rome antique à la Révolution française
Words describing voting, from Ancient Rome to the French Revolution
The Romans had a rich vocabulary in Latin to describe the voting process. This issue examines how this vocabulary came to take on different meanings, depending on the historical and political contexts in which it was used, in the ancient period as well as in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Classical Age.

The texts in this issue show that the polysemy of the word is less a reflection of the evanescence of its meaning than of a polymorphous debate on the definition of citizenship in a world marked by deepening individualism.
Mécaniques de la dépolitisation
Mechanics of depoliticisation

Les mots des « guerres culturelles »
The words of "cultural wars"

As an increasingly popular way of looking at shifts in political divides, the concept of "culture wars" also constitutes a war of words that this issue aims to examine.
