« Le déclin est un sport national français. L’Hexagone souffre de son déclassement, de l’impression d’un délitement de sa puissance dans le monde. C’est une réalité de tous les jours pour qui scrute son rayonnement, son action diplomatique ou la conduite de ses opérations militaires extérieures- comme en témoigne le fiasco du contrat avec l’Australie sur les sous-marins ou la débâcle récente au Sahel. Hôte des Jeux Olympiques d’été 2024, avec les projecteurs du monde entier braqués sur lui, le pays de Richelieu, Louis XIV, Napoléon, Talleyrand, Clemenceau, de Gaulle, Mitterrand n’est pas pour autant condamné à perdre sa puissance et son aura. Alors comment v...

Through a Nuclear Lens

The Franco-Japanese coproduction Hiroshima mon amour (1959) is one of the most important films for global art cinema and for the French New Wave. In Through a Nuclear Lens, Hannah Holtzman examines this film and the transnational cycle it has inspired, as well as its legacy after the 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi. In a study that includes formal and theoretical analysis, archival research, and interviews, Holtzman shows the emergence of a new kind of nuclear film, one that attends to the everyday effects of nuclear disaster and its impact on our experience of space and time. The focus on Franco-Japanese exchange in cinema since the postwar period reveals a reorientation of the primarily aesthetic preoccupations in the tradition of Japonisme to center around technological and environmental concerns. The book demonstrates how French filmmakers, ever since Hiroshima mon amour, have looked to Japan in part to better understand nuclear uncertainty in France.

L'Union européenne est en péril et le lecteur trouvera des réponses sur la déchirure du drapeau dans cet ouvrage... Le drapeau bleu étoilé de l’Union européenne est déchiré. Le divorce chaotique avec le Royaume-Uni, puis le coup de massue de la pandémie ont fait entrer cette communauté d’États unique au monde dans une période de turbulences dont l’issue peut encore être fatale au rêve européen. Laisser s’éteindre les étoiles d’une Union, forgée à partir des années 1950 pour sortir de l’engrenage des guerres et des rivalités mortelles, serait la pire des renonciations. Ce petit livre n’est pas un guide. Il ne prétend pas dire tout sur le processus qui a co...

Lucifer's Banker Uncensored

A page-turning real-life thriller, Lucifer's Banker Uncensored is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the secret Swiss high-net worth banking industry and a harrowing account of our government's justice system. Updated and Uncensored! As a private banker working for the largest bank in the world, UBS, Bradley Birkenfeld was an expert in Switzerland's shell-game of offshore companies and secret numbered accounts. He wined and dined ultrawealthy clients whose millions of dollars were hidden away from business partners, spouses, and tax authorities. As his client list grew, Birkenfeld lived a life of money, fast cars, and beautiful women, but when he discovered that UBS was planning to betr...

Reimagining Resistance in Gisèle Pineau’s Works

As one of the most prominent voices from and about the French Caribbean, Gisèle Pineau has garnered significant scholarly attention; however, this interest has culminated in precious few volumes devoted entirely to the author and her work. In response to this lack of in-depth critical attention, Reimagining Resistance in Gisèle Pineau’s Works brings together a range of perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic and across the Pacific to explore the unique ways in which Gisèle Pineau’s works redefine the concept of resistance, particularly as it relates to gender, race, history, and Antillean identity. As this volume ultimately demonstrates, resistance holds up a mirror to the political, economic, and cultural forces that have shaped the past, construct the present, and build the future. It argues that Pineau’s characters open the narrative frame for reading them and move us beyond the categories of the wholly defiant or the inherently complicit. Above all, as they invite us to reimagine resistance, they expose our expectations and hopefully shift our understanding about what it means to rise and to fall in a world we seek to call our own.
