Les images de la grande guerre à l'épreuve du temps
S’inscrivant pleinement dans le centenaire de la Grande Guerre, cet ouvrage, recueil des actes du colloque qui s’est tenu à St-Remy-la-Calonne les 15 et 16 mai 2013, a pour objectif de focaliser l’attention sur l’iconographie de la Première Guerre mondiale, qu’elle soit d’époque (œuvres contemporaines) ou plus tardive (photographies de traces). L’analyse de ces images, témoins indirects de ce conflit, reflète une société révélatrice d’émotions, de sentiments ou encore de besoins. Certaines vérités cachées ou méconnues pourront alors être exhumées de la boue figée de tranchées oubliées. L’enjeu consiste ici à éclairer certaines représentations, certaines temporalités sous un jour nouveau. Nous pensons que les images, fragments d’un passé contemporain, indices d’un conflit sanctuarisé, peuvent, sciemment ou inconsciemment, contribuer à restituer ce lien de mémoire avec la réalité brutale, traduire et faire passer l’ineffable, l’indicible à travers le discours du présent.
Lignes de front
Cet ouvrage, recueil des actes du colloque qui s’est tenu à St-Remy-la-Calonne (Meuse) le 16 mai 2014, fait suite à celui précédemment intitulé Les images de la Grande Guerre à l’épreuve du temps, consacré à l’iconographie de la Première Guerre mondiale sous diverses formes (filmiques, photographiques, de presse, picturales, archéologiques…). Ce nouvel opus a pour objectif d’examiner les lignes de front, visages marqués de la Première Guerre mondiale, des meurtrissures des corps à la trace des combats, tout ce qui fait mémoire par-delà les strates du temps et les abîmes de l’oubli. Entre patrimonialisation et mise en valeur, cent ans après, la ligne de front, paysage insolite, continue de nous interpeler.

Surveillance on Screen
The theme of surveillance has become an increasingly common element in movies and television shows, perhaps as a response to the sense that the world is now virtually under watch. But the recent surge of this filmic device calls for an explanation that transcends the basic assumption that media illustrates the changes of society. The persistent and growing presence of surveillance in cinematic productions is not merely a reflection of the advent of surveillance societies, but rather an aesthetic adaptation to the evolution of watching patterns. In Surveillance on Screen: Monitoring Contemporary Films and Television Programs, S bastien Lefait examines this ever-increasing phenomenon. Drawing ...
In Praise of Cinematic Bastardy
Cinema may be called a bastard art in both meanings of the word: because it is usually defined as a hybrid art form, obviously, but also, and perhaps more importantly, because it has been able to become formally as well as generically innovative mostly through adulterous relationships, thus making illegitimacy its grounding principle by preferring a blurred lineage to a legible succession. Trying to find what film is referred to in a sequence, therefore, amounts to establishing a clear family tree, which takes no account of the illegitimate unions, natural children and forgotten ancestors that are nevertheless part and parcel of film history. If that quest should still be conducted, its object, it seems, should not be one sole point of reference. The aim of this book is to create the opportunity of studying, and perhaps of rehabilitating, those shadowy corners of cinematographic creation and film memory, and to provide film studies, but also literature and Arts studies altogether, with a newly productive way of using such familiar notions as difference, quotation, reference, blending, hybridity, miscegenation or crossbreeding.

Struggle and Mutual Aid
A dynamic historian revisits the workers’ internationals, whose scope and significance are commonly overlooked. In current debates about globalization, open and borderless elites are often set in opposition to the immobile and protectionist working classes. This view obscures a major historical fact: for around a century—from the 1860s to the 1970s—worker movements were at the cutting edge of internationalism. The creation in London of the International Workingmen’s Association in 1864 was a turning point. What would later be called the “First International” aspired to bring together European and American workers across languages, nationalities, and trades. It was a major undertaking in a context marked by opening borders, moving capital, and exploding inequalities. In this urgent, engaging work, historian Nicolas Delalande explores how international worker solidarity developed, what it accomplished in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and why it collapsed over the past fifty years, to the point of disappearing from our memories.

SAS with the Maquis
On the night of 5/6 June 1944, D-Day, a Lockheed Hudson dropped a small group of parachutists into the mountainous Morvan area of central France. Their mission was to operate as an advance reconnaissance party 400 miles behind the German lines and to make contact with the French Resistance.One of the team, later to become its commander, was Ian Wellsted, known by his nom-de-guerrre of Gremlin. During the next three months No.1 Troop of the 1st Special Air Service Regiment relayed vital information about enemy troop locations and movements, sabotaged bridges and supply lines, skirmished with German columns and harried the occupying forces as they retreated eastwards in the face of the Allied invasion.Camped deep in the woods of the Montsaughe region, the small force worked alongside the local groups of Maquis, forging strong links of mutual respect and friendship.Ian Wellsteds exciting first-hand account of his operations behind enemy lines is a tale of gallantry and daring, of comradeship and cooperation, full of humour and perceptive insight revealing one of the most significant chapters in the history of the SAS.
