Vernacular Eloquence
Since the publication of his groundbreaking books Writing Without Teachers and Writing with Power, Peter Elbow has revolutionized how people think about writing. Now, in Vernacular Eloquence, he makes a vital new contribution to both practice and theory. The core idea is simple: we can enlist virtues from the language activity most people find easiest-speaking-for the language activity most people find hardest-writing. Speech, with its spontaneity, naturalness of expression, and fluidity of thought, has many overlooked linguistic and rhetorical merits. Through several easy to employ techniques, writers can marshal this "wisdom of the tongue" to produce stronger, clearer, more natural writing...
Didactique de l'écrit : la construction des savoirs et le sujet-écrivant
C’est dans le champ de la didactique de l’écrit que s’inscrivent les travaux rassemblés dans ce volume. Analyser le processus d’enseignement/apprentissage de l’écriture est d’autant plus d’actualité que les attentes sociales auxquelles sont confrontés les enseignants sont de plus en plus fortes. En centrant la réflexion sur la nécessité d’articuler construction des savoirs et prise en compte du sujet-écrivant, les auteurs contribuent à éclairer les différentes dimensions de la compétence scripturale. Il s’agit aussi bien de mettre à plat les contraintes, les phénomènes régulés et les normes liés à l'écriture elle-même que d’analyser comment l'apprenant peut se les approprier en se constituant comme sujet-écrivant et comment l'enseignant, lui-même sujet-écrivant, les perçoit.

Charm Offensive
In the aftermath of the Second World War, the French government cultivated images of sensual and sophisticated white French women in an attempt to reestablish its global image as a great nation. They promoted the beauty, sexual appeal, and general allure of French women, all while shrinking the boundaries of what was considered beautiful. Charm Offensive explores how this elevation of French femininity created problems on both sides of the equation: the pressure on French women to conform to an exacting physical standard was immense, while the inability of anyone else to access that standard resulted in a sense of failure. Drawing on cultural figures like Air France hostesses, tourism workers, and celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot, Charm Offensive offers an innovative understanding of a tumultuous time of decolonization.
