any polls?

'''Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe''' (born [[1940]]) is a contemporary [[France|French]] [[philosopher]], [[literary critic]], and translator.

==

I don't have any. I'm wondering if the stuff about redistribution should be moved to its own page. Once the election starts in serious, there will be a lot of content that people will want to add, and a lot of people will come here to read about the election. This redistribution stuff will be a little too detailed for most people. Comments?[[User:Kevintoronto|Kevintoronto]] 22:47, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

===Summary===

I've now done this. I hope no-one objects. [[User:Kevintoronto|Kevintoronto]] 16:58, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

==Influences and associations==

Lacoue-Labarthe is influenced by and has written extensively on [[Martin Heidegger]], [[Jacques Derrida]], [[Jacques Lacan]], [[German Romanticism]], [[Paul Celan]], and [[deconstruction]]. He is also a French [[translator]] of Heidegger, Celan, [[Friedrich Nietzsche]], [[Friedrich Hölderlin]], and [[Walter Benjamin]]. In 1980 Lacoue-Labarthe and [[Jean-Luc Nancy]] co-organised a Cerisy-la-Salle conference on Derrida, named after Derrida's 1968 paper ''Les fins de l'homme''. Following on from discussion at this conference and at Derrida's request, they then founded the [[Centre of Philosophical Research on the Political]] in November 1980. This Centre would remain active for four years, providing alternative lines of enquiry to the empirical approach of political sciences. Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy are colleagues at the Université Marc Bloch in [[Strasbourg]], France. Lacoue-Labarthe is also a member of the [[International College of Philosophy]].

==Professional milestones==

Of course not - thanks for your help, Kevin.[[User:Rupertslander|Rupertslander]] 00:01, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Lacoue-Labarthe received his ''docteur d'état'' in 1987 with a jury led by Gérard Granel and including Derrida and [[Jean-François Lyotard]]. The monograph submitted for that degree was ''La fiction du politique'' (English translation, ''Heidegger, Art, Politics''), a study of Heidegger's long-abiding allegiances to his vision of [[National Socialism]]. It followed shortly after a book on Celan and Heidegger, ''Poetry as Experience''. Both of these works immediately predate the explosion of interest in the political dimensions of Heidegger's thought and his personal responsibility as Rector of the University of Freiburg under the Nazi regime, an interest generated by [[Victor Farías]]'s book that appeared in 1987. Scholars such as Derrida (in "Deconciliation," ''Shibboleth,'' and ''Of Spirit'') , Lyotard (in ''Heidegger and "the jews"''), and [[Pierre Joris]] (see [http://www.anti-rev.org/textes/Joris89a/index.html]) have strongly commended these works as authoritative.

== Riding Candidates ==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" align="center"

Some of the tables are listing the Alberta Alliance, some the Alberta Greens and some both. This should be consistent. Alliance is more entitled IMHO as they have a seat in the legislature and are higher in the polls. However, perhaps both of their candidates should be listed in other as I don't think there is room for 5 parties + an other and an incumbent column. Thoughts? -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 21:52, 6 Nov 2004

I'd really like to avoid favouring any parties - all should have balanced representation. Perhaps we need to reorient the candidate tables so that the parties are listed vertically, and the ridings horizontally. It might require a few more tables, but would keep things clear (similar to the "Regional Breakdown" table at the bottom of the page). [[User:GrantNeufeld|GrantNeufeld]] 00:25, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:I've noted from the [http://www.electionsalberta.ab.ca/wheretovote/index.cfm?PAGE=21 Elections Alberta candidates site] that the PCs, Alliance and NDP are running candidates in every seat, while the Liberals are in 82/83. The Greens are running in 49 and the So Creds in 42. It seems to me that we should remove the Greens from the column is half of their spots are blank and it would make the other columns wider and more readable. If there are no objections, I'll do this within the next day or so. -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 02:07 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

::The "other" column is already pretty awkward as it is. I'm reorienting the tables to match the Results and Regional Breakdown tables - that should make things clearer. [[User:GrantNeufeld|GrantNeufeld]] 15:31, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:::I don't really think that this is the solution, what is currently in use is the standard across all Canadian election sites! -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 23:45 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This is in the process of being fixed. Please be patient. (see first two regions) [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 00:48, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I had modified the candidate tables to take out the dead links for any candidates who did not have pages, to discourage people from making the same mistake I did (creating a separate article for a candidate who was not significant enough to warrant a separate page). [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] reverted those changes because "many of the candidates do deserve articles, and especially the incumbents!". I'd like to suggest that the many candidates who have not been previously elected (and who otherwise do not merit a separate article) should have their dead links removed. [[User:GrantNeufeld|GrantNeufeld]] 00:25, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Greens will be bumped out of the 5th slot if the Social Credit Party fields more candidates. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 01:03, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

'''Independents''' - umm... it is very difficult to read blue text on a navy blue background. Maybe this could be changed to the bgcolor=gainsboro that is used for indepedents in the federal elections pages so that it would be easier to read. Any objections? [[User:Kevintoronto|Kevintoronto]] 10:58, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

: I don't see any navy blue. Looks like light grey to me. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 20:52, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:: I've changed the colour from "lightgray" to "lightgrey", which changes the colour I see from navy blue to, well, light gra/ey. I wonder if others had this problem.[[User:Kevintoronto|Kevintoronto]] 14:12, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:: I had the same problem and made the same change to the second results table (regional). -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 16:50 15 Nov 2004 UTC

I've reoriented the first candidates table - Northern Alberta. Before going to all the work of reorienting the rest of the tables, are there any problems with this new format? [[User:GrantNeufeld|GrantNeufeld]] 15:37, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:Yes, first it's not consistent between the regions on the basis of which parties are shown, and secondly you have divided the region up in two which does not go well with me. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 22:10, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:Agreed with Earl, not only does it require splitting regions (probably in three when you get to the cities) but the method we have in use here is the standard used across Canadian election articles. -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 23:47 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

... this table has some pros and cons.

PROS: It allows us to include the Green and So Cred parties which are contesting ~ half of the ridings.

CONS: It causes us to spilt regions into 2 or more tables; it is of a different format used in other provincial and federal election articles in Canada.

Thoughts on which we should use and, if we keep the current model, how we accomodate the Green and So Cred parties?

-- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 23:54 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

: My view is that if a party has nominated candidates in 50% of the ridings with a maximum of five parties listed. (leaving a column for "other") I believe that would include the Greens in this case but not the Socreds. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 00:09, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

::The Greens have nominated candidates in 49/83 ridings (59.0%) whereas the So Creds have nominated in 42/83 ridings (50.6%). A difference of 7 out of 83 ridings seems to be a bit narrow for a cut off. And, both break the 50% threshold you propose. -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 02:35 18 Nov 04 (UTC)

::I wonder if another alternative might be eliminating the incumbent column and making incumbents italic? -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 20:40 19 Nov 04 (UTC)

===Works on or about Lacoue-Labarthe===

:::7 may not be much, but it's enough. When I was making the 1979 tables (which are far from complete) there was a smaller number seperation the Rhino Party and the Union Populaire (within Quebec) but I picked the top 5 parties anyways which was the Union Populaire- and not the rhinos (even though the rhinos had a higher popular vote).

==External Links==

::::I think the Rhinos is a rather different story though -- they were running as a joke. You are talking about two serious parties here: the Greens which seem to be running fifth in opinion polls and the So Creds who governed the province for 36 years. Mind you the So Creds are a far cry from their glory of those days, they did garner 7% of the popular vote as recently at 1997. I think you have to either include both the Greens and the So Creds or neither. I favour neither, however I think choosing one over the other is a mistake. -- [[User:Jord|Jord]] 23:08 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
