The French Jesuit Étienne de Carheil is known especially for his missions among Canada's indigenous peoples. The work studied here, however, predates his departure for the missions: it involves a Latin poem (Metamorphosis) that celebrates the birth of the eldest son of Louis xiv on November 1st, 1661 and was composed when Carheil, then twenty-eight, was a professor of rhetoric at the Jesuit College in Tours. The poem was approved by his superiors and judged worthy of publication in Paris; de Carheil was still talking about it in a letter to his father sent twelve years later from the Saint Joseph mission in Goyogouën. An analysis of this long allegorical poem (260 hexameters devoted to the metamorphosis of the French fleur-de-lis, red with the blood of wars, but changed to white again with the princely birth) reveals the literary and cultural baggage of the young de Carheil a few years before leaving for Canada.

Carmen Roy's fieldwork practices from the late sixties in Saskatchewan remain misunderstood. Nevertheless, they are an important part of French Canadian ethnology's history, as they demonstrate, in concrete terms, the boundaries of a discipline whose foundations hearken back to the ideology of French survival in North America and the « true tradition » school. Carmen Roy's experience is especially interesting given the fact that it reveals a failed fieldwork study that the folklorist was unable to explain. This article proposes to discuss this hidden failure while situating it within the development of French Canadian ethnology.

According to a very high density of traffic, the French coastline has suffered from maritime pollution since the 1960's (Torrey Canyon, Amoco Cadiz, Erika, Ievoli Sun, Prestige, etc.). The risk of maritime pollution is changing nature and complexity due to increase and diversification of good transported by sea. In France, until a recent period, only the State staff was prepared to face the management of these events through contingency plans (POLMAR Mer plan for response at sea and POLMAR Terre plan for response on shoreline). The Civil Safety Modernisation Law of 13th August 2004 has restructured the civil safety trough a new ORSEC system which includes the creation of a local contingency plan in order to help local authorities to be prepared. In the same time, local and regional councils' duties have reinforced by the decentralization and the European Union has been more and more involved in maritime safety. That's why it is essential to promote a coherent and complementary approach between all these stakeholders. The “Infra POLMAR” process, lead by Vigipol since 2005 on the North coast of Brittany, aims at providing an operational response for all these stakes at local level.

AbstractThis article concerns a multidisciplinary research project begun over a year ago on the putting-into-words of the working-class habitat in Rennes (France). In an area reputed to be gallo-speaking (a form of Breton), certain streets in this city have bilingual signs (French-Celtic Breton). Discourse on the city as a whole is correlated to sociolinguistic discourse (that deals with sociolinguistic stratification and linguistic mobility) and interrogated from three aspects: 1. multi or bilingual signage and discrimination of spaces; 2. the use of languages on signage (in street names) and traces of sociolinguistic memory; 3. linguistic planning of urban spaces (imposition, reproduction, validation or denial of a sociolinguistic memory) and glottopolitical interventionism.

This essay examines the imbrication of colonial and regional histories in France, using as a case study the 2012 novel The Black Terrorist. This novel by Tierno Monémembo was inspired by the real story of warrant officer Addi Bâ, a sharpshooter from Guinea who was wounded in the Ardennes in 1940, joined the Resistance in the Vosges region, and was ultimately arrested and executed by the Gestapo in Lorraine in 1943. While revisiting the figure of the colonial sharpshooter, already widely present in literature, T. Monénembo does more than inscribe the memory of a resistant from Africa within WWII history. In the process, his unique gesture maps a new geography of African presence in France, beyond Paris, and invites readers to acknowledge the historical relevance of the « postcolonial provinces ».
