» At first glance, it's easy to describe the new historical miniseries Shogun as Game Of Thrones meets The Last Samurai. The show's premise is an Englishman who finds himself in the middle of a fight for supremacy in feudal Japan.

Produced by FX Productions and based on James Clavell's acclaimed 1975 novel, the series transports viewers to Japan in the year 1600.

» Sabotage, in French and in English, indicates the act of deliberately destroying or damaging property. It's an apparatus that aims at weakening an enemy or oppressor through means such as subversion and obstruction. It is a tool that, we are told, has been adopted by French workers as a substitute for strikes, but sabotage doesn't limit itself only to workplaces. Its literature survey connotes that it occurs within a variety of contexts -- in wars, political and social campaigns, or socio-economic programmes that effect someone's livelihood.
