Africa and France
An “excellent [and] incisive” look at identity, immigration, and culture in postcolonial France (Journal of West African History). This stimulating and insightful book reveals how increased control over immigration has changed cultural and social production in theater, literature, and even museum construction. Dominic Thomas’s analysis unravels the complex cultural and political realities of long-standing mobility between Africa and Europe. Thomas questions the attempt to place strict limits on what it means to be French or European and offers a sense of what must happen to bring about a renewed sense of integration and global Frenchness. “Essential reading for anyone investigating the debates surrounding contemporary French identity and the ever-changing relationship between France and her former colonial possessions.” —African Studies Bulletin

The Latest Catastrophe

Frequently, today’s historians can find themselves researching the same events that they themselves lived through. This book reflects on the concept and practices of what is called “contemporary history,” a history of the present time, and identifies special tensions in the field between knowledge and experience, distance and proximity, and objectivity and subjectivity. Henry Rousso addresses the rise of contemporary history and the relations of present-day societies to their past, especially their legacies of political violence....
Jours obscurs
je ne suis pas complice de la démesure je demeure enseveli sous les jours obscurs Le poète que l'on croyait disparu revient à nous, et une obsessionnelle et troublante mélancolie l'accompagne, désespoir teinté d'ironie que ses lecteurs connaissent bien. Jean-Claude Pirotte, parti sur les traces de ce territoire qu'il n'avait jamais vraiment quitté – l'enfance –, se retrouve face à un présent sombre, déroutant. Ce sont des cailloux blancs, des ruisseaux, des forêts et des songes qui se réveillent et se révèlent cauchemars de l'histoire. Sous sa plume, la mort s'efface, les nuits se peuplent. Une écriture intense, inoubliable.
Music and Solidarity
The philosopher Christopher Small suggests that musical meanings are concerned with relationships, both with other human beings and with the world, and that music functions as a means of exploration, affirmation, and celebration of those relationships. If members of different social groups have different values, or different concepts of ideal relationships, then the kinds of performances that enact those relationships will differ from one another. Using music to express benevolent intentions is not, in general, one of its most obvious functions. In fact, military music has been used throughout history to destroy cross-cultural communion. Music is also a powerful and ubiquitous tool in propag...

Retenu à l'univers vivant
A la croisee de problematiques incompatibles et incoherentes, le debat sur la fin de la vie et sur l'euthanasie, veritable noeud gordien, est bloque. La poesie et sa parole ouverte s'invitent ici, a la fin de la vie de patients qui n'esperent plus etre gueris le plus vite possible."
