With the growing importance given to the development of communicative competence and especially to sociolinguistic competence in language classes, French as a second or foreign language textbooks are now focusing on the plurality of language use, in particular by presenting different varieties and sociolinguistic uses, thus adapting the content to exchanges in the French-speaking world. However, the treatment of French national varieties and their speakers often conflicts with the teaching of a language of instruction, which is intended to be uniform. This study, which was based on a comparative discourse approach, proposed to examine, through a corpus of 10 textbooks intended for adolescent and adult audiences, representations associated with national French, geographic territories and speakers in French and Quebec textbooks. The results showed that the representations associated with national French varied greatly according to the place where the textbooks were published. Quebec textbooks had only one variety and the informal traits were highlighted, while the French textbooks, presenting several French varieties, used the variety from France as a point of reference for comparison.

This article focuses on the art teacher’s pedagogical authority, especially in regards to its charismatic aspects, hoping to document and describe the manner in which they interpret or live it. We analyze the concept of aura put forth by Walter Benjamin as well as Erich Fromm’s concept of rational authority, to scrutinize the accounts of ten music and film teachers working in college and university institutions, accounts reported from group discussions. Findings deal with pedagogical and identity specificities associated with these particular teaching disciplines, highlighting the fluid, relational and complex nature of authority, as well as the role of charisma within the educational relationship.

Third episode of the fifteen television films of Michel Subiela's Tribunal de l'impossible, "The Last Rose, or the Ghosts of Trianon" (Saturday February 10, 1968), brings to life the supposed meeting of two English teachers, visiting Versailles in 1901, with… Marie-Antoinette: the life and death of this queen, immediately associated with her favorite place, have always aroused popular curiosity. It is August 10, 1901: Eleanor Jourdain and Charlotte Anne Moberly get lost while looking for the Petit Trianon and then have a series of bizarre encounters – including the Queen; on their return they wrote An Adventure (1911), which formalized their exceptional intellectual and perhaps romantic friendship. Retrovision or romantic exaltation? In short, the encounter with the specter of Marie-Antoinette will have authorized, in the sense of fantasy, the sensitive communion which will unite these two women throughout their lives.
