Le plan-relief de Lille fait partie de la collection française de maquettes de villes fortifiées initiée sous Louis XIV et poursuivie jusqu'à Napoléon III. L'objet a connu une histoire mouvementée depuis sa fabrication à Lille en 1743. Véritable machine à remonter le temps, le plan-relief livre des informations irremplaçables sur la ville au 18e siècle et la précision de la représentation urbaine charme tous ceux qui l'admirent. Grâce à un vaste chantier de restauration, les 14 plans-reliefs déposés par L'Etat au Palais des Beaux-Arts ont retrouvé leur fraîcheur dans une salle réaménagée. Le plan de Lille a été numérisé et un nouveau dispositif d'exposition le rend désormais plus lisible des visiteurs.

This book provides a comparative study of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms. It presents these as transnational political cultures and examines the dictatorships and regimes in which these cultures played significant roles. The book is organised into three main sections, focusing on nationalists, fascists and dictatorships in turn. The chapters range across French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German experiences, and include a broader overview of the political cultures in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Latin America. The chapters consider the identities, organizations and evolution of the various cultures and specific political movements, alongside the intersections between these movements and how they adapted to changing contexts. By doing so, the book offers a global view of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms, and promotes debate around these political cultures.
In this book, authors from a wide interdisciplinary spectrum discuss the issue of care. The book covers both philosophical and therapeutic studies and contains a three-pronged approach to discussing the concepts of care: vulnerability, otherness, and therapy. Above all, it is a matter of combining, in a plural form, a path with multiple theoretical and conceptual bifurcations, but which always point to an observation of society from the perspective of human vulnerability.
