The drama of Seneca exercised a major influence on the development of French tragedy in the sixteenth century. His tragedy Agamemnon is thus the origin of plays by Charles Toutain, Roland Brisset and Pierre Matthieu. From one author to another, divergence from the source text became more and more considerable. Initially undertaken by Toutain to enrich the French language, translation became more like imitation with Brisset, in order to educate the public by offering to mediate the unlucky fate of the ancients. The play by Matthieu proposed a new interpretation of the myth by resorting to the invention of scenes and dialogues. The modifications to the original intrigue contributed to a more political orientation of the myth of Agamemnon, through the development of the theme of the destruction of Troy and the inflexion given to the character of Agamemnon, portrayed as both an expiatory victim and a king paying the price of his ambition.

The conflict waged in 1947, through letters and exhibitions, between the surrealist group of Bucharest and the Belgian surrealist painter, René Magritte on the one hand, and, on the other, Magritte and André Breton, the leading figure of the French surrealist group, is being considered here as typical of the multiplicity of tensions that traversed the international surrealist movement. In the aftermath of the second world war, this conflict bears witness, through the confrontation of divergent sensibilities and strong rhetoric, to one of the most nevralgic moments of European history. By reconstituting this episode from the position of the little-known Bucharest group, the article introduces it to the readers.

This interview took place shortly after the death of Marceline Loridan-Ivens (1928–2018), filmmaker, writer, and survivor of the Nazi extermination and concentration camps. In the context of the onset of a new historiographical sequence, marked by the death of the last survivors of the Shoah, we can expect to see changes in the meaning of the works written in the survivors' intense and vibrant presence in film, media, and social spaces and changes in the lived experience of those researchers who were the survivors' contemporaries. This previously unpublished text brings out the temporalities of testimony's double agentivity: that of the woman-filmmaker and that of research conducted on archival materials and on the very act of living.

In the Southeast Asian area modalities of political dependence have developed which involve the distinctive typology of clients, silent partners, and proxies. These modalities govern the relationship between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Laos, and the People's Republic of Kampuchea. They also are operative in the international interaction between the members of the Association of Southeast Asian nations (Asean) and the Western major powers. A set of strategic cooperative arrangements, as well as direct military assistance between Asean, the Commonwealth and the U.S., has its counterpart in similar relations between the U.S.S.R. and the Hanoi dominated lndo-China alliance. As a result, the U.S.-Soviet confrontation in Southeast Asia is expressed politically and strategically primarily through the proxy relationships with the lndo-China states and key Asean members respectively. In turn, there are strong undercurrents in Asean seeking an accommodation with Hanoi, in order to minimize the conflict potential in the region generated by opposing U.S. and Soviet strategic interests. Particularly the relatively warming relationship between the U.S. and People's China has strengthened the Asean fears of China s long-term intentions in the region. An independent Vietnam, free from its proxy-client status toward the Soviet Union, could act as a buffer between China and the Southeast Asian region. Since Hanoi, if only for long-standing nationalistic reasons, wishes to be free from its currently necessary dependence on Moscow, Asean's accommodationist interests may well meet with appreciation in Hanoi in the future. This would tend to lessen the effect of the American-Soviet confrontation in the area.
