Sci. 37, No.4, 53-70 (1997).} \itemab Summary: The author proposes to apply the concept of ${\cal L}$-valued kernels to the problem of constructing a global ranking from a pairwise ${\cal L}$-valued outranking relation defined on a set of decision alternatives as encountered in the fuzzy preference modelling context. Our approach is based on a repetitive selection of best and worst candidates from sharpest ${\cal L}$-valued or most credible initial and terminal kernels. A practical illustration will concern the global ranking of movies from individual evaluations by a given set of movie critics. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{} \end
