  • Dossier De Presse Expo Dior
    EXPOSITION DIOR musée du président Jacques Chirac 1er février – 15 avril 2010 Dior, la passion créatrice L’exposition Dior présentée au musée du président Jacques Chirac est composée d’une trentaine de robes de haute couture des années 1947 à 1951 (créées par Christian Dior) et 1997 à 2009 (créées par John Galliano). Parmi elles figurent notamment la robe Ciao Ci San (2007) de l’affiche, une robe 2008 portée par Marion Cotillard et la robe 2009 portée par Monica Bellucci au Festival de Cannes. L’exposition comprend également une douzaine de flacons et coffrets de parfum, des croquis de Christian Dior et des photos de grands photographes de mode. La scénographie de l’exposition est due à René Bouchara Design. L’exposition a été conçue par huit collaborateurs de la maison Christian Dior : Olivier Bialobos, Frédéric Bourdelier, Daphné Catroux, Gérald Chevalier, Barbara Jeauffroy-Mairet, Philippe Le Moult, Vincent Leret et Soizic Pfaff. Le musée Christian Dior à Granville a aimablement participé à l'exposition. Un catalogue produit par le musée accompagne l’exposition. Il a été réalisé par la maison Christian Dior, avec des textes de Nathalie Fraser, Vincent Leret et Soizic Pfaff. En voici quelques extraits. LE FONDATEUR Christian Dior naît le 21 janvier 1905 à Granville, en Normandie, dans une famille bourgeoise aisée qui déménage à Paris lorsqu’il a cinq ans. Ses parents imaginent pour lui une carrière de diplomate ; il abandonne donc son rêve de devenir architecte et s’inscrit à Sciences Po. Mais ce n’est qu’une parade : le jeune homme, habitué des milieux artistiques, ouvre en 1928 avec des amis une première galerie d’art contemporain, où il expose le travail de Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Maurice Utrillo, Aristide Maillol, Raoul Dufy, et de proches comme Max Jacob, Léonor Fini, Salvador Dali et Christian Bérard.

  • L400brochurerev Copy
    I. The Irish Franciscan college of St. Anthony at Louvain was granted a bull of foundation by Pope Paul V on 3 April 1607. This small house in what is now Leuven, Belgium, became one of the most intense centres of Irish engagement with Europe. Its history, both that of the friars who inhabited the college itself and that of the soldiers, diplomats and merchants who supported it, is also the story of Ireland’s decisive step into Europe. St. Anthony’s College owed both its foundation and location to Florence Conry a Franciscan friar and future archbishop of Tuam. Conry, a native of the townland of Figh part of the civil parish of Tibohine, barony of Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, belonged to the learned family of the Uí Mhaoil Chonaire and had been trained in seanchas or traditional learning before leaving to study in Salamanca. He later entered the Franciscan order and, apart from a short return to Ireland as ‘confessor, adviser and favourite’ of Red Hugh O’Donnell just before the battle of Kinsale in 1601, spent his life in the Spanish dominions. The combination of Gaelic sensibility, Spanish courtiership, political astuteness and Latinate scholarship found in Conry helps explain the choice of Louvain as a novitiate-in-exile and house of studies for the Irish Franciscans. Founded in 1425, Louvain’s medieval university had developed into one of the intellectual powerhouses of Europe. Given its short distance from the border with the Protestant Netherlands the university had become one of the key centres of counter-reformation thought which, when combined with its proximity to the vast printing presses of Antwerp made it an ideal training ground for priests for the Irish mission.

  • Moldovan Headaches: the Republic of Moldova 120 Days After the 2001
    Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg Claus Neukirch Moldovan Headaches The Republic of Moldova 120 days after the 2001 Parliamentary Elections Working Paper 3 Moldovan Headaches The Republic of Moldova 120 days after the 2001 Parliamentary Elections 1. Introduction The 2001 Parliamentary Elections in the Republic of Moldova were conducted in an atmos- phere of extreme social and economic hardship. The average monthly salary in the former Soviet Republic, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, is around 30 US-Dollar today and the real GDP of the country has fallen to 30 percent of the pre-independence level1. Moldova, which has no natural resources and whose economy is dominated by the agricul- tural sector, has now replaced Albania as the poorest country in Europe. When Moldovans were asked in a recent opinion poll what they fear most, 39 percent of the respondents an- swered ‘poverty’. In the same poll 87 percent stated that their income is hardly enough to cover their minimum expenses and 52 percent said that they would leave Moldova for good or at least for a certain period of time2. Already today over 700,000 Moldovan citizens are said to be abroad. Ten years after independence, Moldova has become a country without much hope, battered not only by economic decline, corruption3 and debt4 but also by an identity crises. The discussions of the early nineties, on whether Moldova is a nation in its own right or simply an offshoot of Romania, have quieted down, but not disappeared altogether. The conflicts between pro-Romanian unionists and Moldovanists have made it also more difficult to create a civic identity, which would include the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Gagauz, the Bulgarians, the Jews and other non-Moldovans which account for nearly 35 percent of the Republic’s population.
