This collection of conference papers focuses on Marguerite Duras's place within the major literary, political and cultural events that helped define the 20th century.

This book studies Marguerite Duras's use of mass media and criminal faits divers as critical components of her literary project.
The extraordinary range, complexity and power of Marguerite Duras – novelist, dramatist, film-maker, essayist – has been justly recognised.

Pour comprendre le poids de l'éducation en France dans son rapport avec la société, il faut mettre au centre des évolutions les enseignants qui forment un groupe hétérogène, perméable aux idéologies. Par leurs associations, ils participent aux luttes et aux mouvements d'opinions qui traversent la société française.

Au-delà des aspects de l'activité syndicale, sans laquelle le monde enseignant ne peut se comprendre...
