Les rois thaumaturges. Olivier Matteoni.

🏛️ "Les rois thaumaturges" (1924), qui montre combien le toucher royal participait à la sacralisation du pouvoir royal, vaut par sa méthode qui donne à Marc Bloch le statut de "père de l’anthropologie historique".

Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs led the calls for Palantir, which also works for Donald Trump’s ICE immigration crackdown and the Israeli military, to be removed as a supplier to the NHS federated data platform (FDP), with one Labour backbencher, Samantha Niblett, questioning whether it could be “trusted as a custodian of the intimate health records of tens of millions of British citizens”.
