  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

As fishmeal industrialists raided the oceans for proteins to nourish chickens, hogs, and farmed fish, the global “race for fish” was marked by the clash of humanitarian goals and business interests over whether the fish should be used to ameliorate malnutrition in the developing world or extracted and their nutrients exported as mass commodities, at greater profit, as a building block for the food chain in the global North.

    Fiche 05 18-25 Les Alsaciens. Paix sur le Rhin ? Documents liés N°19 à 22 L’administration française s’établit en Alsace-Lorraine Objectifs pédagogiques Comment se met en place la nouvelle administration ? Contexte historique Une tâche immense et délicate attend les autorités françaises qui s’installent à Strasbourg, Metz et Colmar au cours des semaines qui suivent l’Armistice du 11 novembre 1918. Le gouvernement et l’administration peuvent toutefois s’appuyer sur les réflexions conduites par différentes instances chargées, depuis 1915, d’étudier le devenir de l’Alsace-Lorraine dans le cas d’une victoire française. Mais à l’automne 1918, l’équipe constituée autour de Clemenceau fait le choix de l’assimilation rapide : nomination de commissaires de la République chargés d’administrer l’ancien Reichsland selon une logique départementale, liquidation des institutions régionales -en particulier du Landtag-, congédiement des fonctionnaires allemands. Cette organisation nouvelle est bien éloignée des recommandations prudentes formulées par la Conférence d’Alsace-Lorraine. Source : Joseph Schmauch, « Novembre 1918. L’administration française s’établit en Alsace-Lorraine », Revue d’Alsace, n°139, 2013, pp. 259-276. Service éducatif - Vincent Cuvilliers/AD67 1 18-25 Les Alsaciens. Paix sur le Rhin ?

À propos du musée Le Musée Alsacien est un musée de société qui propose aux visiteurs un parcours plein de charme à travers d’anciennes demeures strasbourgeoises reliées par des escaliers et des coursives en bois. Il présente des milliers d’objets témoins de la vie rurale en Alsace aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles : costumes, meubles, céramiques, jouets, imagerie religieuse et profane, etc. Des reconstitutions d’intérieurs caractéristiques de différents « pays » d’Alsace et d’ateliers d’artisans jalonnent la visite du musée. Plusieurs salles sont des répliques assez fidèles d’intérieurs ruraux, comme celle de la Stùb (pièce commune) d’une ferme de Wintzenheim, à l’inverse, d’autres sont plus imaginaires comme celle de la cuisine et surtout l’atelier de pharmacien-alchimiste. Le visiteur circule parmi toutes les pièces qui constituent le Musée Alsacien comme il se promènerait dans une maison dont les habitants viendraient tout juste de s’absenter. Les planchers qui craquent, les meubles, les objets, évoquent une vie à la fois familière et très différente de celle d’aujourd’hui. Pour donner un second souffle aux collections, le Musée Alsacien organise de nombreux événements et expositions qui mettent en lumière un souci constant de lier passé et présent, tradition et modernité.

  • Histoire Contemporaine D'alsace
    LANGUE ET CULTURE RÉGIONALES CAHIER N°15 Histoire contemporaine d'Alsace A. Mistler G. Traband J.-C. Richez J.-P. Grasser J.-P. Schwartz-Holtz Réédition numérique en ligne, 2016 Cet ouvrage, édité par Réseau Canopé, à la demande de la délégation académique aux relations internationales et aux langues vivantes de l'académie de Strasbourg, a bénéficié du concours financier des Conseils départementaux du Bas-Rhin et du Haut-Rhin et du Conseil Régional d'Alsace. CANOPÉ ÉDITIONS Coordination éditoriale : Jacques SPEYSER Mise en pages et adaptation numérique : Agnès GOESEL Directeur de publication : Jean-Marc MERRIAUX ISBN (2016) : 978-2-240-04268-2​​ (Première édition, 1984) Dépôt légal : août 2016 © Réseau Canopé PRÉFACE L'Alsace a vécu de 1871 à 1945 une période de son histoire marquée par des événe- ments dramatiques et douloureux. En trois quarts de siècle, la région traversa en effet trois épreuves successives. Tout d'abord l'annexion imposée en 1871 par l'Allemagne unifiée et victorieuse : la pro- testation des députés alsaciens et lorrains formulée à plusieurs reprises à l'Assemblée Natio- nale de Bordeaux souligne bien la gravité de cette violation du droit des gens, de ce retour aux pratiques de l'Ancien Régime qui, au gré des accords entre les gouvernements, dispo- saient du sort des populations sans leur consultation ou consentement. Décision déplorable, qui allait ouvrir en Europe une période de tension et conduire peu à peu à deux grands conflits désastreux pour notre continent. La seconde épreuve, l'Alsace devait la vivre après 1918 et le retour à la France, quand la république radicale, conformément à ses principes unitaires et jacobins, se heurta à une grande partie de l'opinion régionale naturellement attachée aux particularismes de son sta- tut juridique et religieux.
