Princess Gabriella, 11, displays close twin bond as she leans on Prince Jacques during milestone outing

Published by Daniella Wilson

Princess Charlene‘s twin children, 11, made a rare appearance on Saturday as the family visited Les Baux-de-Provence in France. While Prince Jacques was largely the one in the spotlight, since he was presented with the keys to the town, he was supported by his sister, Princess Gabriella. He looked smart in cream chinos and a blue suit jacket that matched his father Prince Albert, while Gabriella was the ultimate cool girl in her ethereal white sundress, Ray-Ban sunglasses and beige Frankie4 sandals. The pair put their close bond on display, with Jacques offering a steadying arm to help Gabriella navigate the cobblestone streets in her £177 footwear. In another photo, the royals watched an eagle display, and Gabriella seemed to reach towards her brother for comfort. The quiet interactions didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who commented: “They look so sweet, brother and sister. Siblings and friends,” and: “Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella are two very beautiful and well-behaved children.”  Princess Charlene also put her parenting duties on display. Although she was on official business, Charlene …

Collectors Sue Alison Jacques After Artist’s Estate Cancels Sale

Collectors Sue Alison Jacques After Artist’s Estate Cancels Sale

Published by Jenni Sidey

Two Swedish-American buyers are suing London’s Alison Jacques gallery, accusing breach of contract over the sale of three works by the Swedish-born artist Monica Sjöö, whose estate Jacques represents. The estate and the gallery say that Marie St. Germain, the adviser to Yoed and Natasha Anise, misrepresented the couple ahead of the purchase; they also claim that they believe the Anises would not be promising stewards of the artist’s works, the Art Newspaper (TAN) reports. The Anises, who paid £264,000 (about $358,000) for three paintings from the 1990s, split their time between Stockholm and Austin, Texas, and operate a tech company.  Related Articles The paintings in question had been included in a retrospective dedicated to Sjöö, “The Great Cosmic Mother,” which opened at the Moderna Musseet in Stockholm in 2023. Born in Sweden in 1938, Sjöö spent the majority of her life in Bristol, England. Sjöö, who died from cancer at 66 in 2005, described herself as a “radical anarcho/eco-feminist and Goddess artist, writer and thinker involved in Earth spirituality.” Her best-known painting, God Giving …

What Is Jacques Rancière’s Distribution of the Sensible? Key Concept Explained

Published by Sam Flores

Published: Aug 7, 2026written by Calum Jenkins, MLitt Philosophy and Literature, MA English and Philosophy Summary Distribution of the Sensible: This concept explains how social systems pre-determine who can be seen, heard, and considered a political subject. True Politics: For Rancière, politics is the act of disrupting the established order by asserting a radical, underlying equality among all people. Politics & Aesthetics: Politics and art are deeply linked because both shape our fundamental sensory experience of the world and our communities. Art’s Political Power: Art challenges the status quo by offering new ways of perceiving the world and revealing a shared equality among spectators. Show more   Does everyone get a say when it comes to political discourse? Do we even realize when certain groups are left out of important social discussions? For the philosopher Jacques Rancière, politics is not simply a question of ideas and ideologies, but rather an issue that reaches the very nature of our perception. This is a question of social perception: who do we recognize as political subjects, and do we take on board what they have …

GENDARMERIE NATIONALE/AFP At least 89 teenage victims of rape or sexual assault identified across nine countries; USB drives that contained “Memoirs” recounting an unthinkable criminal journey that spanned more than five decades and five continents; the murders of two members of the man’s family.

After two years of investigations, Grenoble prosecutor Etienne Manteaux decided to reveal the suspect’s identity – Jacques Leveugle, born in 1946 – in an effort to launch a wide-ranging appeal for witnesses in order to identify further victims before closing the investigation (even though some of the acts, committed prior to 1993, may …

The Importance of Jacques Lacan’s Psychoanalysis in Slavoj Žižek’s Philosophy

The Importance of Jacques Lacan’s Psychoanalysis in Slavoj Žižek’s Philosophy

Published by Sam Flores

Published: Jan 9, 2026written by Moses May-Hobbs, BA Art History w/ Philosophy Concentration   The introduction of Lacanian thought into contemporary philosophy, political thought, literature, and film criticism can be majorly attributed to the work of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. However, Žižek’s Lacan is distinctive, acquiring emphases and associations between ideas that are not explicit (and perhaps not present at all) in Lacan’s own writing. In particular, Žižek has popularized Lacan’s psychoanalytic thought by applying it to a series of famous popular films, particularly the work of Alfred Hitchcock.   Psychoanalysis and Philosophy Slavoj Žižek in Liverpool by Andy Miah, 2008. Source: Wikimedia Commons   The history of the relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy is an erratic one. It is a connection plagued by philosophers’ partial recognition of the philosophical import of psychoanalysis and, more often still, by the total dismissal of psychoanalysis. In the other direction, psychoanalysts have persistently (though not as insistently, perhaps, as in the other direction) de-emphasized the overlap between their discipline and philosophical study. Certainly, it was Lacan—among the major …
