HISTOR Y OF THE SITE The commission : A historic model of humanistic social urbanism , the garden city at Châtenay - Malabry was built thanks to the impetus of Henri Sellier, director of the Office Publique des Habitations à Bon Marché de la Seine (the Public Office for Affordable Housing of the Seine Département , or Seine OPHBM) , wh o was also a member of France’s short - lived Popular Front government . The Butte Rouge is one of 15 or so garden cities built by the Seine OPHBM all around the outskirts of Paris to house working population s . Inspir ed by the garden - city theories promot ed by Ebenezer Howard in early - 20th - century England , the Seine OPHBM’s initiatives were a response to the shortage and insalubrit y of affordable housing in the Paris region . The land at Châtenay - Malabry was acquired , along with that at Le Plessis - Robinson , as of 1918, and earmarked in 1919 for the “Greater Paris Garden Cities” project that resulted from a design competition for the extension of the French capital. A t Ch â tenay - Malabry, the garden city was designed and built by a team of architects — Joseph Bassompierre, Paul de Rutté and André Arfvidson , later replaced by Paul Sirvin — and a landscape architect , André Riousse. C onstruction was undertaken in seven phases from 1931 to 1965.

C hronological map of construction, Ap ril 2019 The first and second phases, built before World War II between 1931 and 1940, comprise 1 , 543 dwellings ( source IAURIF) essentially contained in buildings of traditional height — three or four storeys — lined up along streets or around squares. The following phases, built in the post - war era between 1949 and 1960, comp rise 2 , 300 dwellings in buildings that include a pilotis - mounted bar known as the h alf m oon ( a rchitect Pierre Sirvin) and the Signal Tower . A utonomous buildings were later constructed along closes located at the woodland’s edge. 3 Ill. 6. Rue R obert Hertz as photographed from the tower by Barbara Gutglas in May 2014 Ill. 7. Allotments in the garden city. Photo Barbara Gutglas , May 2014 As with many garden cities , the urban layout was carefully composed . Two perpendicular axes are superimposed on winding streets which follow the hilly contours of the site , whose steep descent is due to a former water course, the Châtenay brook . This topography guided the planning of the estate . Rectangular p ublic squares and taller buildings punctuate the layout, bringing a certain monumentality to the ensemble, which features numerous collective facilities : crèches, primary schools , a secondary school , gym s , sport s grounds and shops, as well as dispensa ry, a library , a cin e ma, a n auditorium and a swimming pool, whose water w as heated by the Garcher network . Today, some of these 4 facilities have been lost, while others have been converted to different uses, such as the pool , which became a theatre in 1982 . The accommodation provided is 100% social housing of the “ PLAI ” type (i.e. for tenants with extremely limi ted resources), with a majority of small dwellings. André Riousse, the landscape architect, was particularly attentive in his treatment of the site . Not only did h e manage to preserve countless existing trees (150 , of which 16 are remarkable specimens ) , but his handling of the alleys and embankments harmoni z e s perfectly with the buildings, while the squares and the park are generally contrived to give onto the wider landscape . Low dry - stone walls and small pools embellish the ensemble, which includes allotments and pedestrian pathways that bring a bucolic aspect and contribute to the social life of the neighbourhood . The Butte Rouge is a precursor to many of the concerns of today’s “ Grand Paris ” project with its careful insertion into the site, its abu ndant vegetation, its collecting of rainwater and its recycling of household rubbish, which was burned in an incinerator to heat the pool . Architects : Joseph Bassompierre, Paul de Rutté, Paul Sirvin, André Arfvidson Other members of the design team : André Riousse , landscape architect CHRONOLOG Y Competition date : The plan for the Butte Rouge garden city came out of the 1919 competition held by the City of Paris and the Prefecture of the Seine for the planning, embellishment and extension of the French capital . The architects Rutté, Sirvin, Payret - Dortail and Bassompierre submitted a project for a garden city of over 100,000 inhabitants on two plots of land acquired by the Seine OPHBM in Le Plessis - Robinson and Ch â tenay - Malabry , and won first prize f or it in Section IV of the competition entitled “ Dans les jardins ” (“In the gardens”). New impetus was given to the project by the Loucheur Law, passed by parliament in 1928, allowing Henri Sellier to commission the architects. Date of the commission : 1925 Design phase : 1925 – 30 Dates of realization : seven phases : 1931 – 33, 1935 – 39, 1948 – 50, 1950 – 52, 1955, 1958 – 60, 1963 – 65 Inauguration : Ju ne 1938 , by Jean Longuet, Ma yor of Châte n a y - Malabry CURRENT STATE OF THE ENSEMBLE Us e : Housing and related facilities State of the buildings : Good, but in need of restoration due to lack of upkeep. The last time the façades were restored was in 1995. Some of the buildings are beset by problems of damp and noise transmission which need to be rectified . Summary of restorat ion and other work undertaken, with the dates : The garden city was first refurbished in 1984 – 95 , the work being commissioned by the then owner, Hauts - de - Seine Habitat , and carried out by the architectural firm of Louis Sirvin. The primary concerns were to improve insulation and bring the ensemble up to modern standard s : all the original windows were replaced with new double - glazed models, all of the buildings were insulated on the exterior, new bathrooms were installed or old on es renewed ( improved plumbing and wiring, replacement of sanitary equipment ), gas and electric installations were brought up to standard , and the staircases, hallways and entrance doors were all refurbished . The work was largely financed by a PALULOS grant (Prime à l’amélioration des logements à usage locative, which translates as “allowance for the improvement of rental dwellings”) . 5 I n 2015, Hauts - de - Seine Habitat, at that time still the owner of the site , organized a competition for the urban renewal of the Butte Rouge. Three teams were invited to submit proposals, and the main bodies responsible — the OPH, the SEM 92 ( which became Citallios) and the municipality — involved . The three teams — led by GRAAL , S imon Goddard and Claire Schorter — spent over a year working on projects that sought historic and urban continuity with the garden city as first conceived in 1919, but which also took into account the dynamics of the 2010 Greater Paris project . The teams sought to continue the story of the Butte Rouge, to which inhabitants feel a strong attach ment . The team formed by Claire Schorter/ J . Osty /Mageo was proclaimed the winner, but the municipality took no further action . I n January 2018 , ownership of Ch â tenay - Malabry ’s social housing , including the Butte Rouge, was transferred to the coop e rative Bièvre Habitat, uniting the social - housing stock of Antony and Châtenay - Malabry . A “ protocole de préfiguration” (preliminary memorandum) was signed with the Ag ence nationale de la rénov ation urbaine (National Office for Urban Renovation) on 3 January 2017 .

  • When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,843 words. 2 ABSTRACT The thesis discusses the trajectory of the Belgian socialist thinker and activist Hendrik de Man (1885-1953) between 1914 and 1936 ca, with particular attention to his endeavours to renew Western European social democracy after the Great War. The first half of the thesis deals with de Man’s theoretical evolution. Having become convinced of the inadequacy of orthodox Marxism as a conceptual framework for the Left while serving as soldier and diplomat during WWI, de Man sought to overcome the split between reformism and revolutionary socialism by developing an ethical conception of socialism outlined in the book Zur Psychologie des Sozialismus (1926) and, subsequently, by elaborating planism, a democratic socialist ideology supposedly more in tune with the socio-economic conditions of the 1930s.

  • The French Communist Party and the Comintern
    WILLIAM A. HOISINGTON.JR CLASS AGAINST CLASS: THE FRENCH COMMUNIST PARTY AND THE COMINTERN A STUDY OF ELECTION TACTICS IN 1928 Since the 1930's the French Communist party has faithfully endorsed the policy decisions of the Soviet Union, oftentimes despite disagree- ment with major Soviet pronouncements.1 In the 1920's, however, the French Communist leadership was divided over the appropriateness of Soviet instructions on matters that appeared to many French Com- munists clearly within the exclusive domain of the French party. The intrusion of the Comintern, the Soviet-dominated international Communist organization, into the pre-campaign discussion of the tactics for the 1928 elections to the French national assembly forced French Communists to re-examine their goals, their position in French politics, and their relationship with the Soviet Union. The decisions of the French party leaders, made amid what was perhaps the last animated and freewheeling public party debate, determined the party's relationship with the USSR for a full forty years. The disagreement over election tactics originated in the concern of a Comintern official for the politics and posture of the French party. Jules Humbert-Droz, director of the Comintern's Latin Secretariat and Comintern representative to the French party congress at Lille in June 1926, was alarmed at the efforts of French Communists to reach election agreements with members of the Socialist party.2 To Humbert - 1 The French Communist party's criticism of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary, and Poland was a rare example of infidelity.

This dissertation explores Jewish involvement in the Moroccan Communist Party (PCM) between 1925-1975. Opening up this 1925-1975 moment recovers ways in which Jews and Muslims conceptualized Jews fitting into newly independent nation-states. Leftist groups, originating in Europe, flourished in Morocco beginning in the mid-1920s. By 1936 the socialist leaning Moroccan Union of Muslims and Jews had been founded, a sign of the growing importance of leftist organizations in the Moroccan political spectrum. When France fell to Germany in 1940, the French Communist Party (PCF) chose solidarity with France over its internationalist obligations, ii requiring the Maghribi Communist parties to fight for the common cause against Fascism and put independence ambitions on hold. Vichy rule brought anti-Semitic legislation to the majority of North African Jews, inspiring many in the immediate post-war generation to reject France’s vision of republican assimilation.
