The canning industry, which began on the Atlantic coast in the 1830s, was severely affected by two major crises, first in 1880-86 and then again in 1902-14. With the decline in sardine stocks, all those involved in the industrial system–fishermen, workers, plant owners and suppliers–experienced considerable hardship during these two periods to varying degrees depending upon occupation. To help fishermen get through these periods of shortage, the government, in particular the Ministry of Fishing, strongly encouraged and subsidized the first attempts at setting up cooperatives by the sardine fishermen after 1880. This article thus retraces the beginnings of the Crédit mutuel maritime, but as the author shows, membership was slow in coming and government good will could not alone guarantee the success of the experience.

Over the past few decades, the trajectories of the dead have become increasingly complex. The usual triptych of trajectories of the dead – a death at home, a church ceremony, a burial in the cemetery – is no longer predominant and gives way to diffuse movements, sometimes over long distances. This article intends to describe and analyze the trajectories of the dead observed in funeral parlors and cemeteries in Douarnenez, and more generally in south Finistère, Brittany. The aim of this article is to examine the processes at work in the restructuring of the trajectories of the dead in France and investigate the symbolic dimension of post-mortem displacements.

Beach ridges individually built by the sea on sandy off-shore bars, and subsequently fed in situ by the wind without merging into true sand dunes, are a rather uncommon phenomenon. However, such forms occur along the Massif Armoricain at the mouth of estuaries or in the inner part of wide bays, and are located at the distal end of sand spits as a consequence of the slackening of the longshore-drift. The ridges originally develop from storm ridges topped with driftwood, or sometimes pebbles, and are eventually fed by the wind. They may also derive from micro-cliffs cut into the sandy basement of the upper beach. The growth of halo-nitrophile and of psammophile vegetation contributes to the development of the ridges. If the sand supply is large, new dunified ridges may be initiated every year, but most of them die quickly. For example, on the Penn ar C'hleuz spit, Finistère, true distinct ridges are built every three to five years only. The pro-gradation of the shore in front of the older dunified ridges may exceed fifty metres a year; on the other hand, during periods of erosion, the retreat may be just as important. The succession of progradations and retreats often results in winding ridges. Along the Massif Armoricain, it is generally impossible to identify dunified sand ridges dating further back than the XVIIth century.
