Such an evening is one of the best ways we can think of to celebrate French-American friendship, as La Maison Française has long been a cornerstone of intercultural cooperation. Indeed, through the quality of its hospitality and the diversity of its Paul Bocuse programming, this institution fosters the fundamental cultural principles that make our connection so unique. “ For years, La Maison Française has hosted lively intellectual panel discussions and debates, prestigious scientific events, business meetings and encounters. It is also a unique setting in which to celebrate the French-American heritage and our common history through commemorations of veterans and award ceremonies. To continue this great cultural journey, we must make sure we maintain the capacity to deliver quality programming in the best possible conditions. In other words, after 30 years of continuous use, La Maison Française must be modernized. In 2016 and 2017, the French government embarked on high-priority renovation and restoration work, revamping in particular the sound and video systems and undertaking major infrastructure and security projects.

  • The French Migrant and French Gastronomy in London (Nineteenth to Twenty-First Centuries)
    A Migrant Culture on Display: The French Migrant and French Gastronomy in London (Nineteenth to Twenty-First Centuries) Debra Kelly Oh, Madame Prunier, you give us fishes which we wouldn’t dream of eating anywhere; you call them by a funny French name, and we all adore them! (Prunier 2011, x–xi) Que se passe-t-il dans une assiette? Que retrouve-t-on qui exprime des idées, fasse sens et permette un message? Quelle est la nature de cette matière à réflexion? Quelle emblématique pour l’empire des signes culinaires? (Onfray 156)1 French Food Migrates to London: The French Migrant and London Food Culture2 In his social history of ‘eating out’ in England from the mid-nineteenth century to the turn of the twenty-first, John Burnett discusses thediffusion 1 Translation: ‘What happens on a plate? What is found there which may express ideas, make meaning, formulate a message? What is the nature of this material for reflection? How can the empire of culinary signs be symbolised’? The philosopher Michel Onfray is making explicit reference to Barthes’s L’Empire des signes (1970), and implicit reference to Barthes’s methods of analysing cultural myths, their construction and circulation. These methods also underlie the approach taken in this article to representation and meaning. 2 This article explores some of the preliminary research for a larger project which uses French cuisine as the lens through which to analyse the French (and Francophone) experience in the British capital, historically and in the contemporary city: ‘being’ French in London. It considers French culinary knowledge and practice at work in the city as a material form of identity, of culture and of cultural capital and examines its place in London’s constantly evolving culinary landscape: ‘eating’ French in London.

  • Sharing Paris: the Use and Ownership of a Neighborhood, Its Streets and Public Spaces, 1950-2012
    Sharing Paris: The Use and Ownership of a Neighborhood, Its Streets and Public Spaces, 1950-2012 By Alexander Michael Toledano A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Tyler Stovall, Chair Professor David Henkin Professor Stanley Brandes Fall 2012 Abstract Sharing Paris: The Use and Ownership of a Neighborhood, Its Streets and Public Spaces, 1950-2012 by Alexander Michael Toledano Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Tyler Stovall, Chair This dissertation examines a lively lower-middle-class, immigrant neighborhood in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, the Faubourg Saint-Denis, from 1950 into the twenty-first century, and explores the history of everyday life in its streets and public spaces. It connects the neighborhood’s evolution to larger changes in urban redevelopment policies and municipal politics in Paris. This study challenges a core assumption held by scholars about urban neighborhoods: that everyday life and communities are shaped primarily by residents. Residents have historically been the focus of neighborhood scholarship because they are easily accessible to scholars in most archival sources and because they have been viewed as the stabilizing force that keeps chaotic cities civilized. Since the 1950s and even during the nineteenth-century, however, non-residents have been found at the core of local communities in Paris, especially in its busiest neighborhoods. These parts of the city, often centered around marketplaces and market streets, such as Les Halles, have remained vibrant due to the important role played by non-residents, many of whom have commuted long distances to them every day not only to work, but also to shop, and to socialize.

  • The Semantic Development of Nineteenth-Century French Cookery Terms in English: Tendencies of Borrowings Relating to Dishes, Desserts and Confectionary
    journal of language contact 9 (2016) 477-512 brill.com/jlc The Semantic Development of Nineteenth-Century French Cookery Terms in English: Tendencies of Borrowings Relating to Dishes, Desserts and Confectionary Julia Schultz University of Heidelberg [email protected] Abstract French has long served English as the donor language par excellence in the field of cookery. A considerable number of culinary terms have been adopted into English down the ages (e.g. Chirol, 1973). Since cuisine is a field where France excels, the strong influx of borrowings from this area is by no means surprising. In the nineteenth cen- tury, too, French has been the source of a significant proportion of words and mean- ings which reflect the refinement of French gastronomy. The focus of this paper is on the culinary vocabulary borrowed from French in the nineteenth century. According to the Oxford English Dictionary (henceforth oed) the term gastronomy itself, the art of preparing fine food, is a nineteenth-century borrow- ing which was adapted from the French gastronomie. The present study provides an analysis of the sense developments of the various borrowings from their earliest recorded uses in English to the present day in comparison with their equivalents in French. It will be interesting to see whether a) a particular meaning a borrowing assumes after its adoption is taken over from French (due to the continuing impact of French on English) or b) whether it represents an independent semantic change within English. Such a detailed investigation of the semantics of the culinary words of French provenance is missing in existing studies.
