The following question will be explored in this article: how did Partisans and Parti pris, two leading journals of the 1960s, develop a Marxist thought that was simultaneously in solidarity with the struggles for decolonization and the New Left? Analyzing the years of existence of these two journals allows us to have as a starting point the Algerian War on the one hand, and the beginnings of the Quiet Revolution on the other, and to explore the 1960s through the challenges of the Vietnam War and the emergence of scientist Marxism, anti-psychiatry, alternative pedagogies, etc. We will also ask what the relationship between these two journals is. Should we speak of exchange rather than influence? We will share some observations concerning the place of literature and the elaboration, in these pages, of socialist aesthetics (should we rather speak of aesthetics of resistance?) clearly distinct from social realism.

Along the lines of an array of photo-textual portraits of countries, Éditions du Seuil began publishing the “Petite Planète” [“Little Planet”] collection during the era that Jean Fourastié has called the Trente Glorieuses, the thirty years of economic growth after WWII that saw the growth of mass tourism and the appearance of the modern pocket book. The personality of its director – the young Chris Marker, who was then just entering the world of books, photography and cinema – its pocket format, the originality of its covers, its emphasis on the actualities of the countries studied and their population, as well as the research and experiments in the use of rich and abundant illustrations are all aspects that, from the moment it was launched, enabled “Petite Planète” to stand out from competing series and to assert the singularity of this collection in the contemporary French-speaking publishing landscape.

Cette thèse est une biographie sociale d'‘Izz al-Dīn al-Qassām—prêtre, maître, soldat et rebelle anticolonial d'origine ottomane-syrienne, devenu un symbole du nationalisme palestinien depuis sa mort en 1935. Adoptant une optique micro-historique, cette étude explore les nuances qui sont souvent absentes dans l'historiographie du Moyen-Orient moderne. La vie d'al-Qassām convient très bien à cette approche, comme il chevauchait l'époque ottomane prenant fin et l'époque état-nation naissante. Al-Qassām est né dans une province ottomane au milieu d'une réorganisation administrative par le centre impérial ayant eu un impact particulier sur sa famille. Il a fait sa scolarité à al-Azhar au point culminant du mouvement de réforme moderniste et il est rentré en Syrie ottomane très affecté par l'ambiance intellectuelle qu'il a trouvée au Caire. Il a combattu au …

Dans cette thèse, j'effectue une analyse critique du discours du Plan du Patrimoine, la politique officielle du patrimoine culturel d’Israël. Il s’agit d’étudier les processus historiques qui ont engendré cette politique, de retrouver les idéologies qui la guident, de décrire ses mécanismes opérationnels et de révéler comment elle fait taire des histoires rivales. Ma thèse contribue ainsi de nouvelles connaissances et réflexions théoriques concernant les usages politiques du patrimoine culturel, tout particulièrement dans le contexte nationaliste et conflictuel d’Israël. La thèse est divisée en trois parties. Dans la première partie, j'explore les processus historiques, les forces socio-politiques et les contextes idéologiques qui sous-tendent le Plan du Patrimoine. Mes résultats établissent une connexion directe entre le Plan du Patrimoine et une interprétation idéologique spécifique du sionisme, …

AbstractABSTRACTAfrican Pentecostalist Churches, Satan and The Dissociation from " Tradition "Many studies of thé spread of Christianity in Africa focus on Independent African Churches which are considered to revitalize traditional world views and ethics by incorporating already existing contents into new forms. There are only comparatively few studies of African Pentecostalist Churches which have become popular ail over the continent since thé 1980s. Taking the case of the Ewe in Ghana, it is shown that these churches differ considerably from the Independent Churches which caught anthropologists' attention in the 1960s and 1970s. While the latter make use of traditional concepts and values in a positive, syncretizing way, the former adopt a harsh stance towards tradition and define themselves in strict opposition to it. In doing so, they recur to the image of the Devil who is regarded as the master of ail traditional deities. It is demonstrated that it is not intrinsic to African post-colonial Christian movements to offer a revitalization of concepts and values lost in the process of colonization. Pentecostalist Churches rather provide their members with rituals to symbolically dissociate themselves from traditional concerns and to become modem. Against the background of this case it is argued that there is need for new conceptualisations which locale these churches as active agents in processes of modernization and globalization.Key words : Meyer, Pentecostal Churches, Satan, tradition, modernization, Ghana

AbstractThis article interprets the career of the Yiddish writer Isaac Bashevis Singer, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978, in English translation. Involved is an understanding of the emotional and linguistic impact of the Haskala or “Jewish Enlightenment” on Polish Jewisk life as well as of the other ideologies confronting Jewry—Socialism, Zionism and Hassidic Return, for example. Involved also is a just evaluation of the linguistic achievements of Singer's translators, especially Jacob Sloan, Cecil Hemley, Elaine Gottlieb, Saul Bellow and Isaac Rosenfeld, all of whom have a creative identity with a thematic and stylistic influence on translation quality. An attempt is likewise made to demonstrate Singer's transcendence of his rabbinical past and of his refuge in the United States.
