Vie de ma voisine (2017) is the true the story of Shoah survivor Eugénie Plocki told through the eyes of her neighbour and in the words of Geneviève Brisac. A life story, it is also a testimonial and a biography. This article examines narrative and linguistic choices that allow Brisac to demonstrate both the limits of her testimonial and her duty to stand witness. It also shows how the biographical pact she has committed to coincides with the birth of a friendship.

This article points out how the idea of Nature, as formulated by social scientists, has shaped the intellectual formation of environmental movements and struggles. The authors examine a selection of French newspaper articles, all related to coronavirus and post-COVID scenarios. Although all political formations and policymakers make use of environment-friendly rhetoric, their theoretical positions still remain fundamentally the same and four intellectual ideal-types can therefore be brought out. The first two, either pro- or anticapitalistic, follow a rather symmetrical path, that relegates nature to the background. It is seen only, by some as a resource, offering a potential for growth, and by the others as the mirror of capitalist contradictions. Conversely, the “commons” thinkers emphasize the various ways these sites were institutionalized, rather than giving priority to the biosphere. Reflections about the conservation and regeneration of this Nature therefore appear, from an ecological standpoint, as the most ambitious.
