  • About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the Crest of a Hill in Southwestern
    About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the crest of a hill in Southwestern France, Fanjeaux is a peaceful agricultural community that traces its origins back to the Romans. According to local legend, a Roman temple to Jupiter was located where the parish church now stands. Thus the name of the town proudly reflects its Roman heritage– Fanum (temple) Jovis (Jupiter). It is hard to imagine that this sleepy little town with only 900 inhabitants was a busy commercial and social center of 3,000 people during the time of Saint Dominic. When he arrived on foot with the Bishop of Osma in 1206, Fanjeaux’s narrow streets must have been filled with peddlers, pilgrims, farmers and even soldiers. The women would gather to wash their clothes on the stones at the edge of a spring where a washing place still stands today. The church we see today had not yet been built. According to the inscription on a stone on the south facing outer wall, the church was constructed between 1278 and 1281, after Saint Dominic’s death. You should take a walk to see the church after dark when its octagonal bell tower and stone spire, crowned with an orb, are illuminated by warm orange lights. This thick-walled, rectangular stone church is an example of the local Romanesque style and has an early Gothic front portal or door (the rounded Romanesque arch is slightly pointed at the top). The interior of the church was modernized in the 18th century and is Baroque in style, but the church still houses unusual reliquaries and statues from the 13th through 16th centuries.

Over the last roughly 150 years, Ariège has seen its population decline from a quarter million to 150,00. Its traditional agrarian economy has been remade for competition on global markets, and the department has relied on tourism to bring in revenue where other traditional industries have failed to do so. In this thesis I identify the European Union and French policies that continue to guide Ariège’s development through subsidies and regulation.

  • LES MIGRATIONS EN LANGUEDOC MEDITERRANEEN FIN Xixe, DEBUT Xxe SIECLE
    LES MIGRATIONS EN LANGUEDOC MEDITERRANEEN FIN XIXe, DEBUT XXe SIECLE par J. MAURIN Le Languedoc méditerranéen (1) est une terre de migrations à plus d'un titre. Les phénomènes migratoires, immigration et émigration, y sont toujours anciens et souvent intenses (2). En effet, comme dans tout pays méditerranéen, la plaine adossée aux reliefs, par sa richesse, par ses plus grandes possibilités économiques, a toujours attire les hommes de la montagne. De plus, corridor naturel s'étirant depuis le Rhône jusqu'au Roussillon et au-delà à la Catalogne espagnole, il est zone de passage attirant des immigrants venus d'autres pays méditerranéens. Or la fin du XIXe et le début du XIXe siècle sont ici un moment privilégie pour observer les migrations, les migrations définitives s'entend, car les migrations temporaires sont bien connues (3). En effet, dans la plaine s'est mis en place, après la terrible crise phylloxérique dans les dernières décennies du XIXe siècle, une viticulture industrielle, scientifique, commerciale. Au même moment la montagne languedocienne, notamment la Lozère, sort de son relatif isolement grâce au chemin de fer qui l'atteint, et est enfin "annexée à la France" (L). C'est aussi un moment où l'industrie textile se meurt peu à peu et où l'in- dustrie extractive traverse une grave crise. Tout cela se traduit-il sur les migrations internes à la région mais aussi dans ses échanges avec l'extérieur ? Quelle est l'ampleur de l'exode rural ? (5). Pour prendre la mesure de l'ampleur des migrations en Languedoc méditerranéen j'utiliserai trois sources : d'abord les annuaires de la Statistique Générale de la France ; puis les registres matricules du recrutement où sont scrupuleusement notés les changements de domicile des hommes jusqu'à l'âge de 48 ans, âge où ils échappent à.

  • Aude Marjolin, Phd
    Aude Marjolin, PhD Assistant scholar, Kenneth Jordan’s group Department of Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh 219 Parkman Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, U.S.A. [email protected] About me My doctoral program was a collaboration between a university and a government-funded technological research organization, thus leading me to work in both an academic and a corporate environment. Though the research I carried out was fundamental in nature, it was set in the framework of an applied project; as such, while the means were mine to devise, the ends were determined by the requirements of the nuclear waste management programs. Also, having had two supervisors, I learned to reconcile both point of views in a single project and communicate efficiently on the ongoing work with each of them on a weekly basis. As an elected member of the UMR3299 research unit council, I participated in meetings where the management of the research campus was discussed (budgets, security, logistics, infrastructure and recruiting) and decisions were made. During, my PhD program, I have given several talks and seminars and have learned to adjust the nature and content of the communications to the audience I was addressing. Moreover, being French/English bilingual, I am able to communicate proficiently in both languages, whether in technical or everyday situations. Varied teaching assignments have allowed me to develop communication skills in order to convey ideas and notions to non-specialists.
