French Art Deco
Art Deco—the term conjures up jewels by Van Cleef & Arpels, glassware by Laique, furniture by Ruhlmann—is best exemplified in the work shown at the exhibition that gave the style its name: the Exposition Internationale des Art Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925. The exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the objects displayed spoke to a sophisticated modernity yet were rooted in past traditions. Although it quickly spread to other countries, Art Deco found its most coherent expression in France, where a rich cultural heritage was embraced as the impetus for creating something new. the style drew on inspirations as diverse as fashion, avant-garde trends in the fin...
LE GRAND TOURNANT
À l’invitation de Mgr Dubost, évêque d’Évry, une directrice de rédaction d’un journal, deux avocats engagés, trois théologiens, un imam et un rabbin commentent la personne et l’action du pape François à l’occasion de l’anniversaire de son élection. Forces, faiblesses, atouts, communication, dialogue interreligieux : issus de tous horizons et de toutes confessions, ils croisent leurs regards, dessinent un premier bilan, mais surtout affirment leurs attentes, précisent leurs espoirs, exhortent le Pontife du troisième millénaire à aller de l’avant. Portrait empathique du successeur de Pierre sur le mode d’un devoir d’inventaire de son Église, ce livre-manifeste, qui alterne enthousiasmes et suppliques, marque le grand retour de l’intelligence française, dans toute sa diversité, au cœur des questions les plus brûlantes du Vatican.
Dressing Modern Frenchwomen
At a glance, high fashion and feminism seem unlikely partners. Between the First and Second World Wars, however, these forces combined femininity and modernity to create the new, modern French woman. In this engaging study, Mary Lynn Stewart reveals the fashion industry as an integral part of women's transition into modernity. Analyzing what female columnists in fashion magazines and popular women novelists wrote about the "new silhouette," Stewart shows how bourgeois women feminized the more severe, masculine images that elite designers promoted to create a hybrid form of modern that both emancipated women and celebrated their femininity. She delves into the intricacies of marketing the new...

A Sustainable Future for the Mediterranean
'Here's a work arriving just at the right moment and contributingnew insights at precisely the time when public opinion remains sceptical of the not very promising future we are preparing for our children, when governments balk at explaining to their electorates the vital but unpopular decisions that have to be taken and when civil society, with few ways and means, is finally becoming involved. This remarkable work will help all actors to understand the inter-linkages between economic activities and the environment in the Mediterranean Basin and take concerted, effective action to build a positive, sustainable future' Mohamed Ennabli, former Minister of the Environment and Land Use Panning, ...
Vous êtes comme des dieux
Si l'homme d'aujourd'hui témoigne d'une immense soif de dignité et de respect pour ses semblables, il ne sait plus en revanche dire Dieu ", tout simplement. Cette aspiration et ce manque interrogent fortement Mgr Michel Dubost. Car selon lui, tant que l'homme ne se respecte pas et n'est pas respecté, il est impossible de dire Dieu en vérité. Tant que Dieu n'est pas recherché, il est impossible de respecter l'homme totalement. A partir des Ecritures, l'auteur explore donc ce que l'homme peut dire de Dieu et ce que Dieu dit de l'homme. L'homme est à l'image de Dieu - à l'image d'un Dieu Trinité, qui est Père et Créateur, Fils qui obéit à son Père et le communique, et Esprit de vérité, de communion et de fidélité. Que peuvent vouloir dire ces expressions aujourd'hui ? Peuvent-elles aider à trouver un chemin pour sortir du mal de vivre ? Oui, répond Mgr Dubost. Car, lorsque le Psaume repris par Jésus affirme : " Vous êtes comme des dieux ", il ouvre des perspectives nouvelles."
