Narration as Argument
This book presents reflections on the relationship between narratives and argumentative discourse. It focuses on their functional and structural similarities or dissimilarities, and offers diverse perspectives and conceptual tools for analyzing the narratives’ potential power for justification, explanation and persuasion. Divided into two sections, the first Part, under the title “Narratives as Sources of Knowledge and Argument”, includes five chapters addressing rather general, theoretical and characteristically philosophical issues related to the argumentative analysis and understanding of narratives. We may perceive here how scholars in Argumentation Theory have recently approached ...
The Crimean War and Cultural Memory
The Crimean War (1854–56) is widely considered the first modern war with its tactical use of railways, telegraphs, and battleships, its long-range rifles, and its notorious trenches – precursors of the Great War. It is also the first media war: the first to know the impact of a correspondent on the field of battle and the first to be documented in photographs. No one, however, including the French themselves, seems to remember that France was there, fighting in Crimea, losing 95,000 soldiers and leading the Allied campaign to victory. It would seem that the Crimean War has no place in the canon of culturally retained historical events that define modern French identity. Looking at literature, art, theatre, material objects, and medical reports, The Crimean War and Cultural Memory considers how the Crimean War was and was not represented in French cultural history in the second half of the nineteenth century. Ultimately, the book illuminates the forgotten traces that the Crimean War left on the French cultural landscape.
Le droit des agents internationaux à un recours effectif
The right of international agents to an effective remedy demonstrates the existence of a common legal framework which applies to all international organisations and provides for the right to an effective remedy not only of their international civil servants, but of all their agents. At the same time, the study points out the deficiencies in the implementation of this right from the moment of the crystallisation of the dispute to the execution of the judgement. The detailed analysis of the legal framework within international organisations as well as of the international administrative case law of over twenty tribunals by Anne-Marie Thévenot-Werner serves as a guide for practitioners and res...
Shaping Space and Mobilities in Contemporary Walking Narratives
Shaping Space and Mobilities in Contemporary Walking Narratives represents an exploration of the dynamic intersections between mobility, space, and literature. By focusing on walking as both a practice and a narrative device, the book illustrates how mobilities shape and reconfigure our experiences of space. Drawing from both literary and interdisciplinary approaches, the contributors engage with diverse themes, including urban flânerie, rural wanderings, migration, and queer spatialities. The research presented here shows how literary discourse mediates and constructs human relationships with space and place. Addressing with key theoretical movements such as the narrative, spatial, and mobilities turns, this book contributes to the recent humanities turn by advancing discussions within mobility studies, particularly in French and Italian contexts.
Au pays du mépris - Voyage dans l'arrogance "à la française"
" En 2009, j'ai émigré au Canada. J'ai quitté la France parce que j'y étouffais. Émotionnellement et moralement. Quand on me demandait, de manière plutôt condescendante, si je partais "pour les grands espaces', je répondais : "Là-bas, l'espace mental est beaucoup plus vaste.' Quinze ans plus tard, je n'ai pas changé d'avis. " Hors de nos frontières, Martin Winckler s'est souvent entendu demander s'il était vraiment français. Quand il s'en étonnait, on lui déclarait : " Vous n'êtes pas arrogant, comme beaucoup de Français que nous recevons. " Ce pamphlet, dont le fil rouge est sa propre vie – ses racines algériennes, son enfance à Pithiviers, sa formation et son exercice ...
The Liberation of Paris
Story of Paris during the German occupation and in its liberation.
Les tribulations d'un chercheur en littérature
Un livre étonnement drôle sur le genre littéraire des Souvenirs au XIX e siècle. En résulte un ouvrage profondément original, alternant résultats d'une recherche éminemment savante et interludes hilarants sur les coulisses de l'université. La vie d'un universitaire français est jalonnée de diplômes, qui sont autant d'obstacles à franchir. Si la thèse est désormais bien connue du grand public, l'Habilitation à diriger des recherches l'est nettement moins. L'" HDR ", comme on l'appelle communément, est pourtant l'épreuve ultime. Réservée à des enseignants-chercheurs aguerris, elle est le sésame indispensable pour obtenir un poste de Professeur des Universités. Vincent La...
