The overarching question asks how this event impacts contemporary manifestations and discussions of minority communities within the French nation-state. In existence since 2002, the march presents a unique and engaging opportunity to illuminate the evolution of French ideas of “proper” citizenship roles through critical, theoretical, and empirical inquiry. As a public forum for overt sexual(ized) expression(s), the marche de la visibilité offers participants the opportunity to present themselves as a cohesive community, even where one may not necessarily exist in reality. By making themselves “visible” to spectators, participants are able to critique societal norms not only through linguistic signs but also physical presence. In order to provide a comprehensive study of the event and its impact upon contemporary manifestations of difference, this dissertation examines the marche de la visibilité from four different angles. First, by tracing the evolution of citizenship within the French nation-state, I uncover and emphasize not only its inclusionary but also exclusionary nature. Next, I turn to a discussion of the symbolic power associated with space and place. Taking inspiration from scholars such as Maurice Agulhon, James Lehning, and Michel de Certeau, I build upon their work to frame my understanding of the ways in which politically motivated groups appropriate and actualize the spaces they occupy. I argue that through their repeated usage of the space, the marche de la visibilité is able to alter our normalized perceptions of the city. Following this discussion, I undertake an iv analysis of a study I designed and conducted during the 2008 edition of the march. Here I employed a closed-question attitude survey where participants were asked to reflect upon their position vis-à-vis the march and its importance to them in order to discern any statistically significant differences between participants. What came to the surface were variations between self-identified gay men and lesbians. Overall, lesbians tended to view the march as more important in many ways, while gay men leaned towards more tepid responses. I interpreted this to be indicative of the relative invisibility of lesbians within the public sphere, where the opportunity to present themselves as lesbians to spectators represents a major perquisite. In the final chapter, I turn to an analysis of the linguistic messages displayed by participants and the power these messages have to either align or distance the message bearers with/from spectators in an effort to understand the discourses that are deployed in their attempts to gain political visibility. Shedding light upon an understudied facet of French and Francophone culture, this dissertation furthers our understanding of minority groups and the manner in which they appropriate, actualize, and transform debates of identity in contemporary France. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .....................................................................................................vii LIST

  • Managing France's Regional Languages
    MANAGING FRANCE’S REGIONAL LANGUAGES: LANGUAGE POLICY IN BILINGUAL PRIMARY EDUCATION IN ALSACE Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michelle Anne Harrison September 2012 Abstract The introduction of regional language bilingual education in France dates back to the late 1960s in the private education system and to the 1980s in the public system. Before this time the extensive use of regional languages was forbidden in French schools, which served as ‘local centres for the gallicisation of France’ (Blackwood 2008, 28). France began to pursue a French-only language policy from the time of the 1789 Revolution, with Jacobin ideology proposing that to be French, one must speak French. Thus began the shaping of France into a nation-state. As the result of the official language policy that imposed French in all public domains, as well as extra-linguistic factors such as the Industrial Revolution and the two World Wars, a significant language shift occurred in France during the twentieth century, as an increasing number of parents chose not to pass on their regional language to the next generation. In light of the decline in intergenerational transmission of the regional languages, Judge (2007, 233) concludes that ‘in the short term, everything depends on education in the [regional languages]’. This thesis analyses the development of language policy in bilingual education programmes in Alsace; Spolsky’s tripartite language policy model (2004), which focuses on language management, language practices and language beliefs, will be employed. In spite of the efforts of the State to impose the French language, in Alsace the traditionally non-standard spoken regional language variety, Alsatian, continued to be used widely until the mid-twentieth century.

  • L'ass Depuis 1890
    Frédéric GLANZ L'ASS DEPUIS 1890 En guise de préface Ce livre qui retrace l'histoire de l'A. S. Strasbourg, n'est pas un récit d'aventures ni même un livre d'histoires, encore qu'il pourrait se lire comme un roman de cape et d'épée. Il n'a d'autre but que de familiariser le profane avec la grande famille de l'A.S.S. et de fournir, si possible, un complément d'informations au lecteur averti, membre ou sympathisant de ce «doyen» des clubs omnisports d'Alsace qui fête aujourd'hui son 90me anniversaire, puisque créé en 1890. Quatre vingt dix printemps - et non étés ou automnes - pour ce vénérable nonagénaire, car la vie d'un club qui fait corps avec sa cité, est une éternelle renaissance. L'A.S. Strasbourg, tout au long de ces 90 années, a connu des heures de gloires et des journées sombres. Contrairement à l'individu qui a la faculté et l'immense avantage de pouvoir oublier les mauvais moments pour n'en retenir que les plus agréables, la société, elle, a le devoir de se souvenir de son passé dans son entité et de le léguer à la postérité. Il nous a semblé que dans l'année de son 90me anniversaire, le mo- ment était venu de rassembler en un volume tout ce qui a pu être sauvé pendant cette longue période du patrimoine d'un pionnier du sport alsacien. Encore fallait-il vouloir le faire et trouver le chantre capable de le faire. Car ce n'est pas un mince travail que de rechercher puis de rendre compte de près d'un siècle d'évènements sportifs qui se sont déroulés sous la bannière bleue, puis blanche et rouge de cette société qui s'appela tout d'abord « Strassburger Fussball-Club », puis « Strassburger Fussball Verein » et « Sport-Verein Strassburg », enfin « Association Sportive de Strasbourg », l'A.S.S., un sigle que l'on espère définitif après une courte période, encore une fois, entre 1940 et 1945, de « Sport Verein Strasbourg » (S.V.S.).
