Émulations n° 33 : La nuit urbaine
L'appropriation de la nuit urbaine par des activités économiques, sociales et culturelles a connu au xxe siècle une accélération sans précédent. L’intérêt croissant des sciences sociales pour cet objet de recherche a permis de mieux connaître les dynamiques caractérisant l’évolution de l’espace-temps nocturne dans les différentes parties du globe. Ce numéro souligne la nécessité de poursuivre l’exploration de cet espace-temps complexe. En réunissant des contributions de différentes disciplines et sur des régions géographiques variées, il propose de lier tendances globales et spécificités locales qui (re)configurent la nuit urbaine dans la ville contemporaine. Les apports de ces contributions sont présentés et articulés autour de quatre axes: lieux et usages différenciés des pratiques nocturnes, attractivité et conflits, inégalités nocturnes, méthodologies des enquêtes sur la nuit.

Women of Valor
Women in an armored division! General Leclerc had never heard of such a thing. But if he wanted the 19 brand-new ambulances, he would have to take their women drivers too. Known as the Rochambelles, their courage won the admiration of their comrades and changed many minds. These women learned to drive through mortar fire, to pull men from burning tanks, to stanch blood and ease pain. Above all, they learned that no matter who was doing the shooting, the greater enemy was hatred. Only three of the fifty-one women who served in the group published a memoir, and their stories have been all but lost. This book, newly revised and updated, reveals their daring and accomplishments, from Normandy to Berchtesgaden.
