"Half of social-science studies fail replication test in years-long project."
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00955-5

"A massive seven-year project exploring 3,900 social-science papers [Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence, or #SCORE] has ended with a disturbing finding: researchers could replicate the results of only half of the studies that they tested…In many cases, papers simply did not provide enough data or details for experiments to be repeated accurately…When some of SCORE’s team members attempted to reproduce the data analyses of 600 papers, they found that only 145 contained enough details to do so."

This bilingual blog post is about the idea of #ecofriendly (public) catering. I don't know what is the state of this in different countries, but I think there are always ways to improve.

Public catering like that of schools or hospitals can be commanded to have Meatless Mondays, and my idea is that we can also "stimulate" this at other places, e.g. in private canteens, by classification / certificate.

🌟 In the final episode of Key Concepts, I unpack everyday struggle, a concept that I develop in ‘The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia’.

What is everyday struggle, and why does it matter for understanding social life beyond open resistance?

🎥 Connaissez-vous le Cinéma Club sociologique « Miroir des luttes » ?

Conçu et animé par Nicolas Duvoux, enseignant-chercheur au Cresppa (CNRS, Université Paris 8), le cycle a pour but d’aborder des concepts à l’appui d’une projection de film, suivie d’un échange d’1h.

🗓️ Prochaines séances :

 Mardi 14 avril – 19h30 : Peut-on échapper à sa classe sociale ?
« Une fille facile » de Rebecca Zlotowski (VF)

La littérature et le cinéma regorgent de personnages à l’ascension sociale fulgurante : à quelle réalité sociologique cela correspond-il ? Avec « Une fille facile », Rebecca Zlotowski questionne la mobilité sociale et ses fantasmes. Est-on condamné à subir son destin de transfuge de classe ?

 Mardi 12 mai – 19h30 : Réussir sa vie : est-ce un mythe libéral ?
« The Big Lebowski » d’Ethan et Joel Coen (VOSTFR)

Dans nos sociétés capitalistes, tout nous soumet à l’idée selon laquelle il faudrait réussir sa vie. Face à ce conformisme mortifère, The Dude est devenu une figure iconique, symbole d’émancipation, de rejet des injonctions à l’ambition.

 Mardi 9 juin – 19h30 : Faut-il rêver d’une société sans classes ?
« Snowpiercer » (Le Transperceneige) de Bong Joon-Ho (VOSTFR)

Dans ce film d’anticipation d’une société d’après l’apocalypse climatique, Bong Joon-Ho déploie sa vision fantastique des inégalités sociales et développe un propos neuf sur le pouvoir et le cynisme.

Matteo Capponi , Ruth Ebach, Giuseppina Lenzo and Matthieu Pellet make up the winning team of the SHS Best Teaching Award that teaches a class called Mediterranean Antiquity: Mythology and Pop Culture. It’s proven to be a hit among engineering students at a time when ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome are a source of inspiration for many video games and novels. We spoke with the four teachers about the secret to their success.

"The #GinoGermaniInstitute of #SocialSciences and #StrategicStudies, an #Italian think tank based in #Rome and focused on countering #disinformation, has presented its 2026 research paper, “#Antisemitism and #Russian Active Measures from the #Tsars to #Putin,” authored by researcher #MassimilianoDePasquale.

The study, which traces developments from the era of the tsars through the #Soviet period to the present day, argues that Russian antisemitism is not merely a relic of the past but an active component of contemporary hybrid warfare. Through the use of trolls, bots and compliant media outlets, #Moscow is said to stoke antisemitism across the Western world – on the right (via #whitesupremacism) and on the left (via radical #antiZionism) – with the sole aim of eroding the social fabric of liberal #democracies."
