Comme toutes les tendances, celle-ci devait être – plus ou moins rapidement – remplacée par I une autre. Force est de constater qu’il n’en est rien. Le vintage, qu’il soit appliqué à l’univers de la mode, de la maison, des produits high-tech ou encore de la gastronomie, continue de fleurir dans les magazines, les émissions de télé ou sur les rayonnages des boutiques. Et cela peut se comprendre. Notre ère postmoderne se nourrissant de références, cette tendance a changé de statut. De « mode », par définition éphémère, elle s’est transformée en mouvement de fond définissant un art de vivre assumé. C’est bien, car cela permet de s’intéresser à ces Trente Glorieuses fortes en création, mais surtout – et c’est rassurant – de se réfugier dans un placard de grand-mère bien douillet et authentique ! Mais quand même, ressasser des époques révolues, même si elles peuvent alimenter la démarche contemporaine, commence sérieusement à bien faire. Ne serait-il pas le temps de se projeter un peu, voire complètement, dans le futur et (re)faire confiance à l’innovation au lieu de « radoter » ? Remettons donc l’appétit du lendemain au goût du jour. Oubliez Perriand, Prouvé, Gascoin et découvrez, du 4 au 9 juin, les créateurs du Designer’s Day, rendez-vous placé cette année sous le thème du « Et demain ? ».

  • Press Kit: VINCI, the Art of Museums
    PRESS KIT VINCI, the art of museums Press kit /// VINCI, the art of museums /// June 2013 1 Introduction The Museum concept was first introduced in Europe, primarily in France, at the end of the 18th century for reasons that originally had nothing to do with economics or urban amenity. Until the 1950s, the purpose of the museum was exclusively conservation, in a continuation of the 19th century tradition of private collections. The real museum revolution originated primarily in the United States, where Peggy Guggenheim laid the foundations for the 20th century museum industry, and was also driven by democratisation and the development of cultural industries in Europe. Today, the number, role and visibility of these institutions have undergone radical change. No longer exclusively focused on conservation, the museum has become a flagship institution that lends resonance to the community. Cultural activities create economic value and give cities momentum. Culture also promotes social inclusion when approached as a way to improve "living together". The museum is now seen as an urban landmark and a driver of urban life. With its innovative and bold architecture, the museum is often a work of art in its own right. Building or renovating a museum is therefore a high profile but complex operation. The success of such projects requires broad vision, acknowledged capabilities in advanced technology engineering, sophisticated resources, flawless coordination and total commitment to managing people. On the strength of these qualities, VINCI companies regularly work on exceptional museum projects around the world. Their design, building, network and maintenance expertise makes all the difference in the demanding museum market.

CONCLUSION 116 BIBLIOGRAPHY 120 APPENDIX: MUSICAL CHRONOLOGY 123 iii ABSTRACT JEAN COCTEAU AND THE MUSIC OF POST-WORLD WAR I FRANCE by Marlisa Jeanine Monroe Master of Arts in Music Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was a highly creative and artistically diverse individual. His talents were expressed in every field of art, and in each field he was successful. The diversity of his talent defies traditional categorization and makes it difficult to assess the singularity of his aesthetic. In the field of music, this aesthetic had a profound impact on the music of Post-World War I France. Cocteau was not a trained musician. His talent lay in his revolutionary ideas and in his position as a catalyst for these ideas. This position derived from his ability to seize the opportunities of the time: the need iv to fill the void that was emerging with the waning of German Romanticism and impressionism; the great showcase of Diaghilev • s Ballets Russes; the talents of young musicians eager to experiment and in search of direction; and a congenial artistic atmosphere.

Voilà le verbe que l’on pourra désormais conjuguer en L toute légalité linguistique. Depuis le temps que nous attendions une traduction du French kiss, c’est-à-dire embrasser avec la langue, nous voilà satisfaits ! Le terme est net, expressif, précis, direct et sans équivoque. Laissons enfin les patins aux patinoires et les pelles aux chantiers ! Il nous aura fallu patienter presque cent ans. Le French kiss, mondialement connu – et apprécié –, a en effet été inventé lors de la Première Guerre mondiale par les soldats de l’US Army, « impressionnés » par les mœurs des Françaises. Leur doit-on aussi le French leave, filer à l’anglaise ou la French letter, capote anglaise ? L’histoire ne le dit pas. Bref, la langue de Molière aura attendu très longtemps avant de galocher. Une révolution (de palais) donc et ce n’est la seule. En feuilletant la nouvelle mouture du célèbre dico, on pourra découvrir aussi comme nouveautés « kéké » (frimeur), « chelou » (louche en verlan), « bombasse » (jolie fille), « hénaurme » (déformation de « énorme »), « plan cul » (liaison basée uniquement sur le sexe) ou encore « zguègue » (sexe masculin).
