Mort de l'historienne et mathématicienne Michelle Audin (1954- 2025), elle a publié en histoire des mathématiques et des oeuvres littéraires dans le sillage de l'Oulipo. Pour ma part, je l'ai connu surtout pour ses travaux sur l'histoire de la Commune de Paris.

When shame and moral self-righteousness in a society collapse, the means of enforcing appropriate social conduct moving forward is something not many people will like
"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."
