Concevoir, édifier et aménager avec le développement durable [A Treatise on Architecture and Bioclimatic Urbanism. Conception, Planning and Construction with Sustainable Development] [Observ’ER/Le Moniteur, March 2006, 776 p.,blackand white and color illustrations +1CD Rom, 85, ISBN: 2-913620-37-X.] • “Sustainable Development” is an ever-increasing influence on architecture and urbanism–and not as a sort of “luxury” in developed countries. At a time when the cost of fossil fuels are escalating due to the exponential growth of demand in the face of limited resources, when climactic equilibrium is threatened, when pollution increases as the planet becomes more and more urban and when inequality deepens between and among populations imperiling peace and security, everyone is becoming more focused on the “three Es” (Economy, ecology and equity) which are the very basis of sustainable development. Of course the development of advanced technologies in this area requires high levels of economic development and social consciousness. But many of the basic principles of bioclimatic architecture and urbanism have been used for centuries in traditional urban constructions and therefore often only require a dose of reasonable thinking and ingenuity to be reinterpreted or reactivated. In addition, by considering bioclimatic costs in terms of “actual global costs” (that is, by integrating all economic variables, including middle- and long- term variables), bioclimatics appear to be extremely affordable economically. Appreciation should thus be directed toward the architect and professor at the Paris-la-Villette ENS of architecture, Alain Liébard, and André Herde, the engineer-architect and professor at Louvain-la-Neuve University. Over the past ten years they have written and now brought together a number of shorter accessible, concrete, practical, hyper- precise and excellently documented works which synthesize every aspect of the current state of a topic which is of interest as much to experienced designers as to people who want to build their houses while respecting the environment. One regret: the clearly instructive nature of the book notwithstanding, coming from architects one would have hoped for more interesting and more color graphic presentations. J.-P.L.D. MANIAQUE Caroline Le Corbusier et les maisons Jaoul. Projets et fabrique. Le Courbusier and the Maisons Jaoul. [Picard, October 2005, 142p., black and white and color illustrations, 38, ISBN: 2-7084-0735-X.] • There’s a simple reason Le Corbusier’s work continues to inspire researchers. Like the work of all great artists, it is much more complex and richer than many historiographic studies make it seem, especially when they reduce it, at least conceptually, to the experimental period between the two wars. While this was the initial period of the architectural and urbanist “manifestos” and can thus seem to be the most dazzling (and also the ones that get most close, if I may say so, to totalitarianism), those of his maturity (after World War II, to be simple) seem to me to be more convincing on other creative and constructive grounds. Without ever breaking with his propheticism, le Corbusier effectively “corrected” the dogmatic aspects of his writings in creations which sometimes seem to contradict his previous statements as, for example, in his Ronchamp “baroque poem” Chapel where he abated (even took the opposite course from) his “poetics of the right angle.” A similar remark can be made about the houses built in Neuilly between 1951 and 1955 4 for the Jaoul family. These are less frequently studied than his villas from the 1930s when he physically affirmed his famous “five points of architecture” (supports, roof gardens, free ground plan design, horizontal windows and free design of the façade) as well as his notion of the “architectural promenade.” But they are as superb as they are exciting–as much in their realization as in their projects and their modes of fabrication. First of all, because Le Corbusier cast off his cloak of the demiurge and built these in continual dialog with the future occupants, the mason, the carpenters, etc. And second, these dialogs, which were associated with a new vernacular (the brick Catalan roof) and international (“brutalism”) style references, led him far afield from his previous postulates: no more supports or long windows, for example, they were based on an architectural desire to be at one with the site while his thoughts were focused most of all on the comfort of future occupants. This is what the book under review brings to our attention in a clear and exciting way. J.-P.L.D. PERRET Auguste Anthologie des écrits, conférences et entretiens [Collected Writings, Lectures and Interviews] [Le Moniteur, April 2006, 474p.,black and white illustrations, 39,ISBN: 2-281-19251-2. Edited by Christophe Laurent, Guy Lambert and Joseph Abram.] • Let me say straight off: I am no fanatical admirer of Auguste Perret (1874-1954). While I admire his role as a pioneer in the use of cement, and more precisely in the invention of a plastic language to express certain qualities of this new material (except when it tends toward the rounded and seaworthy), his so called “rationalist” architecture has always left me cold, as a sort of neo-classicist modern which, in contrast to Picasso or Stravinski, who in their respective creative domains so experimented for a time after the “First War,” he did not know how to question or get beyond himself. Of course, there is also Paul Valéry, who these authors do not fail to refer to. But Valéry, the author of “Graveyard by the Sea” and La Jeune Parque, has a sensual intelligence “Like fruit dissolving in pleasure/in the mouth where death takes form…”) that I do not see in Perret, and whom I see as the heir to Durand more than Boullée or Ledoux. This is most of all because one gets one’s fill of (or one eventually gets nauseous from) the rigorous geometrics of islands and buildings, as in the city center of Le Havre (which was recently classified as a UN world heritage site). But I have to admit that mine is currently a minority viewpoint, and that Perret is making a serious comeback. There are three reasons for this: first, the clear and indisputable architectural and constructed quality of his work; second, the recent and just mentioned classification of Le Havre and its international reevaluation with a concurrent rise in appreciation internationally of Perret’s work; third, the fact that his written and visual archives have been organized and made available to researchers by the Institut Français d’Architecture–which led to this anthology after the superb Les Frères Perret, l’œuvre complète (Paris, IFA-Norma, 2000) and the l’Encyclopédie Perret (Monum/IFA/Le Moniteur, 2002). Perret’s important Contribution à une théorie de l’architecture (the definitive edition of which dates to 1952) as well as an older text edited by his brother-in-law, Sébastien Voirol, on Le style sans ornement (which, although it dates to 1912, bears no relation to Adolf Loos’s “Ornament and Crime,” which Perret detested) are well known but it has been difficult to gauge the scope of the master’s thought through scattered articles, lectures and interviews. The current work will thus become an essential reference which demonstrates, as the editors put it, “once again that architectural writing is not simply a crutch for practice,” but bears witness, like the built work, to thought constructing itself over time.

    France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History August 2015 © “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Abstract This thesis examines French relations with Yugoslavia in the twentieth century and its response to the federal republic’s dissolution in the 1990s. In doing so it contributes to studies of post-Cold War international politics and international diplomacy during the Yugoslav Wars. It utilises a wide-range of source materials, including: archival documents, interviews, memoirs, newspaper articles and speeches. Many contemporary commentators on French policy towards Yugoslavia believed that the Mitterrand administration’s approach was anachronistic, based upon a fear of a resurgent and newly reunified Germany and an historical friendship with Serbia; this narrative has hitherto remained largely unchallenged. Whilst history did weigh heavily on Mitterrand’s perceptions of the conflicts in Yugoslavia, this thesis argues that France’s Yugoslav policy was more the logical outcome of longer-term trends in French and Mitterrandienne foreign policy. Furthermore, it reflected a determined effort by France to ensure that its long-established preferences for post-Cold War security were at the forefront of European and international politics; its strong position in all significant international multilateral institutions provided an important platform to do so.

Ancien élève de la rue d’Ulm et de l’ENA, agrégé de lettres classiques, ambassadeur de France, il a été ministre des Affaires étrangères de 1986 à 1988 et membre de l’Assemblée nationale de 1993 à 2002. Il a publié quatre ouvrages, Le Quai d’Orsay à l’épreuve de la cohabitation (Flammarion, 1989), Le choix de Gorbatchev (Odile Jacob, 1992), Jean-Paul II, un Pape au cœur de l’histoire (Le Cherche Midi, 1999 et 2005), et Le regard d’un diplomate sur le monde.

Y a-t-il dans votre environnement de jeunesse des éléments qui vous ont conduit à ce parcours d’excellence qui vous a mené de l’ENS à l’ENA et à l’agrégation ? Je suis né à Paris, mais avec des origines provinciales très nettes. Par ma mère je suis 50 % Corrézien et par mon père je suis 25 % Bordelais et 25 % de Cholet. Pour me définir, je suis fondamentalement Parisien. J’ai toujours été élève de l’enseignement public d’un bout à l’autre et ma grande révélation intellectuelle a été mon entrée en sixième A au lycée. Je suis né en 1926, je suis entré en sixième en 1937, au lycée Charlemagne et, là, j’ai été transporté d'enthousiasme ! C’était donc l’enseignement des années 1930, dans un lycée parisien avec des professeurs remarquables.

To do so, the author first describes which artists are showcased in the capital’s clubs and festivals in terms of gender, nationality and country of residence. This shows that the well-known venues in Paris book (male) American rather than French or other artists, and that their added symbolic value is simultaneously economic. Finally, the article cen- tres on how the artists are presented in two specific festivals, revealing that even though ‘otherness’ and value are constructed along racial and gendered divides, they are also informed by artists’ nationality. Indeed, the dominant position of the United States and the opposition between the Western world and the global South are strongly dramatized within jazz in France, which shows some proximity to the ‘world music’ scene. Keywords: gender; international circulations; music scene; nationality; Paris; place; statistics Introduction Jazz, in its various incarnations, spans different social categories, from race to class, gender to generational interest. A simple visit to any European jazz festival today would reveal the music’s abil- ity to reach different audiences and to speak for a diverse range of people.

  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

The European Eminent Persons Group on Middle East issues (EEPG) presents the following commentary and recommendations on what that policy should be. As our statement of April 2014 made clear, we have for some time regarded the Oslo-Madrid process as effectively defunct. The opportunities it presented through its focus on the centre ground in the substance for a settlement were suffocated by mutual distrust, by Palestinian disunity and by Israel's lack of interest in an outcome of this kind, as evidenced by large-scale settlement expansion. Mr Netanyahu expressed various views on Palestine in and around the recent election campaign, most of them cold to the concept of an independent Palestinian state. We are convinced in our own minds that he has little intention of negotiating seriously for a two-state solution within the term of this incoming Israeli government.

Étudier la place du bonheur dans quelques œuvres du poète, essayiste, traducteur et critique d’art Claude Esteban (1935-2006) peut sembler paradoxal de prime abord. En effet, il est surtout connu pour, d’une part, des écrits liés au deuil, comme c’est le cas pour le recueil de poèmes Élégie de la mort violente, paru en 1989, soit trois ans après le décès accidentel de sa compagne Denise Esteban (1925-1986) et, d’autre part, des textes sur la souffrance et l’approche de la mort, évoquées dans la série de poèmes en prose Trajet d’une blessure (2006) puis dans le recueil La mort à distance (2006).

  • Quelques Livres Abordant La Question Des Migrants, Demandeurs D'asile
    Quelques livres abordant la question des migrants, demandeurs d’asile, réfugiés, immigrés et autres exilés ÉTABLIE PAR BERNARD BRETONNIÈRE Bruno Catalano, série Les Voyageurs, v. 2013. REMERCIEMENTS.- Cette approche bibliographique a pu être en partie établie à la faveur de deux résidences d’auteur, la première, pilotée par la Maison de la Poésie de Rennes et Région Bretagne et accompagnée par la DDEC 35, dans la Communauté de communes de la Bretagne romantique (2017), la seconde en Pays de Haute Sarthe (novembre 2018 - mars 2019), à l’initiative du Département de la Sarthe et de la DRAC Pays-de-la-Loire, en partenariat avec les communes de Fresnay-sur-Sarthe et de Sillé-le-Guillaume, et de l’association Festivals en Pays de Haute Sarthe. Que tous leurs responsables, artisans et petites mains, sans oublier les élèves et les enseignants régulièrement rencontrés dans leurs classes, soient remerciés. Les deux thèmes retenus pour ces résidences étaient Les migrations, élargi à la formule « La poésie ne connaît pas de frontières », et Le mouvement. En outre, ces résidences ont permis à l’auteur invité d’avancer dans la rédaction de son « journal-poème-théâtre » Six semaines avec Platon, texte qui rapporte l’expérience d’accueil, dans une famille de l’agglomération nantaise, d’un demandeur d’asile venu de Brazzaville où il était menacé de mort. Dans des versions condensées par rapport au manuscrit intégral, encore en chantier et donc inédit, plus de vingt lectures lectures ont été données, souvent accompagnées par des musiciens. Cette approche bibliographique (qui ne fait pas l’impasse sur les ouvrages d’extrême droite), ici datée du 26/04/2019, est en perpétuelle évolution, s’enrichissant et se corrigeant au fil des informations complémentaires et des parutions nouvelles.
