Constance L. Dickey "Encounter with Contemporary Speakers of Lo Lemosi in Corrèze" |
Having recently spent seven weeks in the south-central region of Corrèze, France, the author describes her (often chance) encounters with several native speakers of the regional Occitan dialect, lo lemosi. Details about the way of life of these speakers, their everyday living environment, and views on the local culture and language are included. A survey of current efforts to reclaim the regional culture and language for the next generation and their potential for success or failure concludes the article. |

Alan J. Singerman "La France et la politique sociale de l'Union européenne"
|
Le concept d'une politique sociale européenne existe depuis la fin du dix-neuvième siècle. Ce n'est pourtant qu'à partir de la préparation de l'Union européenne, que le projet commence à se concrétiser. Le grand obstacle aux progrès est la nécessité de l'unanimité au niveau du Conseil des ministres; dès que le principe de la majorité qualifiée a été adopté, l'élaboration d'une véritable politique sociale européenne a pu être amorcée. Cependant, si l'Europe a adopté des mesures importantes en ce qui concerne les conditions de travail, tout reste à faire dans les divers domaines de la protection sociale, où l'harmonisation est à peine ébauchée. |

Stacy Katz "Teaching Articles: How Students Can Master the French Determiner System"
|
This article discusses why students of French have difficulty mastering the French determiner system. Concentrating on definite, indefinite, and partitive articles, it provides pedagogical guidelines to aid instructors in presenting this topic as well as a series of activities to be used in class. The activities are based on Lee and VanPatten's theory of structured input and output, Swain's conception of metatalk and some general applications of low-level discourse analysis. I explain that if students are led to induce the linguistic concepts of identifiability and countability, they will gain an understanding of how to use articles correctly in discourse. |

Lydie Moudileno "Le Désir de créolisation dans Sur l'autre rive d'Henri Lopès"
|
Sur l'autre rive d'Henri Lopès met en scène une quête identitaire originale: une jeune femme quitte son Congo natal pour recommencer sa vie en Guadeloupe en se faisant passer pour antillaise. Le roman inverse ainsi la désormais classique tentative de retour du sujet diasporique vers l'Afrique posée comme origine, en faisant de l'Afrique un lieu à oublier, au profit d'une identité créole. Je propose d'examiner ce processus de dépossession et de (re)formation identitaire, notamment dans son rapport avec le désir de libération qui sous-tend toute la démarche de créolisation volontaire et individuelle de la narratrice. |

Gita May "The Status of Eighteenth-Century Studies"
|
An overview of the latest research in eighteenth-century studies demonstrates its continued vitality and spectacular renewal following World War II, despite the latest onslaughts on its ideological, political, and social message. New historical and theoretical approaches have also significantly contributed to this renewal of interest in an age that was for too long reduced to simplistic formulas and clichés. The major Enlightenment figure that has most benefited from this renascence is doubtless Diderot. Other areas of literary scholarship that have been particularly innovative involve the novel and the role of women, not merely as muses and salonnières, but also as authors in their own right. Eighteenth-century societies have flourished all over the world and have been remarkably successful in publishing journals and sponsoring meetings and conferences. |

Vincent Grégoire "Le Rôle et l'importance du cinéma dans les oeuvres d'Albert Camus"
|
Si Camus considère le cinéma comme un genre mineur, il n'en fait pas moins de nombreuses références dans son oeuvre romanesque, de L'Envers et l'endroit publié en 1937, au Premier Homme, son ouvrage laissé inachevé à sa mort, en 1960. Et l'étude de ces références nous permet d'observer une évolution. Tandis que le cinéma s'impose comme un élément incriminant dans L'Envers et l'endroit et L'Étranger, il se transforme en objet humanisant dans La Peste, pour se faire "témoignage d'humanisme" dans Le Premier Homme. Notre étude se propose de développer l'évolution de ce thème qui, de mineur en apparence, à l'origine, se fait finalement emblématique de la philosophie d'Albert Camus. |

Brian Gordon Kennelly "Links and the Teaching of Contemporary Issues in the Francophone World"
|
At an institution committed to distance learning, I recently taught a Web-dependent course on contemporary issues in the Francophone world. Some of the highs and lows, and the pitfalls that I faced are recounted. I discuss how such a course might change teaching and learning practices compared to one in which instruction is based on the print media and how it might enhance the teaching of foreign languages, decenter authority, and encourage in an innovative way different styles of learning. |

Sandrine Collomb Pilchowski "Entretien avec Jean Rouaud"
|
Cet entretien permet non seulement de faire plus ample connaissance avec Jean Rouaud, écrivain reconnu et lauréat du prix Goncourt en 1990, mais aussi de découvrir une oeuvre très variée. La diversité des thèmes abordés dans ses romans et ses essais participent tous à un témoignage historique, qui retrace l'histoire culturelle de la France. |
