We begin with an examination of the Dreyfus Affair, an extraordinary national convulsion over anti-Semitism and a miscarriage of justice that left a powerful legacy for the rest of the twentieth century. We then turn to the First World War, giving special attention to its effects on the economy, government, social classes, and the relationship between men and women, and between colonial peoples and the French empire. Our focus then shifts to the 1930s, when the country was shaken by the Great Depression, the rise of political extremism, and the struggle to forge a “popular front” against fascism. We then spend several weeks exploring the Second World War, its anticipation, the French defeat of 1940, the Occupation, Resistance, Liberation, and early postwar reconstruction. The final weeks of the course investigate decolonization and the Algerian War, French reactions to American cultural and economic power, Gaullism, and the “events” of May 1968. We conclude with an effort to create a historical perspective on three key developments that have dominated public debate in the final decades of the century in France: immigration, the rise of the extreme Right, and the relationship of France to an increasingly integrated Europe. Although the course is organized around a chronological examination of the political history of France, we will stress social, cultural and economic history as well. After all, the century of total wars also brought France its period of most rapid social and economic change. We will investigate issues that call for crossing the usual boundaries between these several kinds of history. We will also repeatedly consider French developments within three wider international contexts: Europe, the French empire, and trans-Atlantic relations. Each week’s session begins with a fifty-minute lecture, followed by a two-hour seminar discussion. Because this is mainly a discussion course, its quality depends on everyone preparing the material and participating in class. Each week a group of three or four students will meet beforehand to prepare a brief series of questions designed to provoke discussion. Three papers are also required. The first two will address the readings for two different weeks during the course. These short analytical papers should each be five to six pages long. The final paper should be ten to fifteen pages on a topic of your own choosing. Grading in the course will be as follows: Class discussion and presentations 30% Short papers 30% Final paper 40% The required reading is available on reserve in the salle de lecture at the Institute of French Studies, as well as in the reserve room at Bobst Library.

Starring Hitler! Adolf Hitler as the Main Character in Twentieth-First Century French Fiction Abstract Adolf Hitler has remained a prominent figure in popular culture, often portrayed as either the personification of evil or as an object of comedic ridicule. Although Hitler has never belonged solely to history books, testimonials, or documentaries, he has recently received a great deal of attention in French literary fiction. This article reviews three recent French novels by established authors: La part de l’autre (The Alternate Hypothesis) by Emmanuel Schmitt, Lui (Him) by Patrick Besson and La jeunesse mélancolique et très désabusée d’Adolf Hitler (Adolf Hitler’s Depressed and Very Disillusioned Youth) by Michel Folco; all of which belong to the Twenty-First Century French literary trend of focusing on Second World War perpetrators instead of their victims.

  • Shaping and Reshaping WWII: French Cinema and the National Past Michelle Royer
    Shaping and Reshaping WWII: French Cinema and the National Past Michelle Royer In his book The Vichy Syndrome: History and Memory in France since 1944, Henry Rousso looks at how France's way of talking about its past has changed in the last fifty years.1 The author identifies distinct discourses on the period of the Occupation, reflecting the political and social concerns of the era as much as the events of the Second World War. Throughout its history, French cinema has contributed to the shaping of the past through documentaries and fictional narratives and has provided a profound insight into the country's national identity. In this article, I will show that the filmic representations of World War II and more specifically of the period of the Occupation have been essential elements in the construction and reconstruction of collective memory, and at times in its repression, and that they also bear witness to the times in which the films were made. I will focus on two French films representative of two distinct periods and two different discourses on the French Occupation: Rene Clement's Jeux Interdits (1952) and Louis Malle's Lacombe Lucien (1975), and will show how these films have contributed, through fictional narratives, to the shaping of France's past and identity. When studying historical films, it is important to bear in mind that, "Just as written history is not a solid and unproblematic object but a mode of thought, so is the historical film".2 Moreover, film "must be taken on its own terms as a portrait of the past that has 1 Rousso, Henry, (1991) nJe Vichy SytJdrome: History a/td Memory i/l France since 1944.

  • The Shoah on Screen – Representing Crimes Against Humanity Big Screen, Film-Makers Generally Have to Address the Key Question of Realism
    Mémoi In attempting to portray the Holocaust and crimes against humanity on the The Shoah on screen – representing crimes against humanity big screen, film-makers generally have to address the key question of realism. This is both an ethical and an artistic issue. The full range of approaches has emember been adopted, covering documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions such as Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, depicting reality in all its details, and more symbolic films such as Roberto Benigni’s Life is beautiful. Some films have been very controversial, and it is important to understand why. Is cinema the best way of informing the younger generations about what moire took place, or should this perhaps be left, for example, to CD-Roms, videos Memoi or archive collections? What is the difference between these and the cinema as an art form? Is it possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit? Is emotion itself, though often very intense, not ambivalent? These are the questions addressed by this book which sets out to show that the cinema, a major art form today, cannot merely depict the horrors of concentration camps but must also nurture greater sensitivity among increas- Mémoire ingly younger audiences, inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. ireRemem moireRem The Shoah on screen – www.coe.int Representing crimes The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe.

The men in the new regime immediately began to make social and political changes which, in their mind, were long overdue. They believed that they could negotiate with the occupation officials in the North and maintain France‟s sovereignty, at least in the “free” Southern zone. They also believed, as did a large part of the French people, that the inadequacies of the republican system had lost France the war.

    The Germans in France During World War II: Defeat, Occupation, Liberation, and Memory UCB-OLLI Bert Gordon [email protected] Winter 2020 Introduction Collaboration, Resistance, Survival: The Germans in France During World War II - Defeat, Occupation, Liberation, and Memory Shortly before being executed for having collaborated with Nazi Germany during the German occupation of France in the Second World War, the French writer Robert Brasillach wrote that “Frenchmen given to reflection, during these years, will have more or less slept with Germany—not without quarrels—and the memory of it will remain sweet for them.” Brasillach’s statement shines a light on a highly charged and complex period: the four-year occupation of France by Nazi Germany from 1940 through 1944. In the years since the war, the French have continued to discuss and debate the experiences of those who lived through the war and their meanings for identity and memory in France. On 25 August 2019, a new museum, actually a transfer and extension of a previously existing museum in Paris, was opened to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the French capital. Above: German Servicewomen in Occupied Paris Gordon, The Germans in France During World War II: Defeat, Occupation, Liberation, and Memory Our course examines the Occupation in six two-hour meetings. Each class session will have a theme, subdivided into two halves with a ten-minute break in between. Class Schedule: 1.

  • Woody Loves Ingmar
    1 Woody loves Ingmar Now that, with Blue Jasmine , Woody Allen has come out … … perhaps it’s time to dissect all his previous virtuoso creative adapting. I’m not going to write about the relationship between Vicky Christina Barcelona and Jules et Jim . ————— Somewhere near the start of Annie Hall , Diane Keaton turns up late for a date at the cinema with Woody Allen, and they miss the credits. He says that, being anal, he has to see a film right through from the very start to the final finish, so it’s no go for that movie – why don’t they go see The Sorrow and the Pity down the road? She objects that the credits would be in Swedish and therefore incomprehensible, but he remains obdurate, so off they go, even though The Sorrow and the Pity is, at over four hours, twice the length of the film they would have seen. 2 The film they would have seen is Ingmar Bergman’s Face to Face , with Liv Ullmann as the mentally-disturbed psychiatrist – you see the poster behind them as they argue. The whole scene is a gesture. Your attention is being drawn to an influence even while that influence is being denied: for, though I don’t believe Bergman has seen too much Allen, Allen has watched all the Bergman there is, several times over. As an example: you don’t often hear Allen’s early comedy Bananas being referred to as Bergman-influenced: but not only does its deranged Fidel Castro-figure proclaim that from now on the official language of the revolutionised country will be Swedish, but in the first reel there’s a straight Bergman parody.

Copy of questionnaire sent out……………………………………….pp.59-60 2 Candidate number: 13049 Chapter 1: Introduction and Methodology By the summer of 1940 the Vichy government had become the political authority in Southern France within which the Var region is situated. The presence of both Italian and German soldiers varied between villages as did the level of resistance. The Var remained under the control of Vichy until allied bombardments on 11th August 1944 and the arrival of Allied troops along the coast between le Dramont and Cavalaire on 15th August. Throughout the subsequent weeks the liberation of the region occurred village by village. 1 This dissertation provides a micro historical analysis of Villecroze and Aups, two villages in the Var. These two rural villages of Haute-Provence are approximately eight kilometres from each other with very little but dense forest in between. This dissertation carries out primary research into the social and cultural history of these villages and explores the relationship between the past and present, experience and memory. On the one hand this dissertation compares and contrasts everyday life within these two villages during World War Two (WWII).
