  • Le Temps Des Copains: Youth and the Making of Modern France in the Era of Decolonization, 1958-1968
    LE TEMPS DES COPAINS: YOUTH AND THE MAKING OF MODERN FRANCE IN THE ERA OF DECOLONIZATION, 1958-1968 by DREW M. FEDORKA B.A. University of Central Florida, 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2015 Major Professor: Amelia H. Lyons © 2015 Drew M. Fedorka ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the popular yé-yé phenomenon and its role in articulating a vision of modern France in the aftermath of decolonization. Yé-yé, a teen-oriented and music-based popular culture that flourished from roughly 1962-1966, was in a unique position to define what it meant to be young in 1960s France. I argue that the yé-yé popular culture, through its definition of youth, provided an important cultural channel through which to articulate a modern French identity after the Algerian War (1954-1962). Using a combination of advertisements, articles, and sanitized depictions of teenage pop singers, the yé-yé popular culture constructed an idealized vision of adolescence that coupled a technologically-savvy and consumer-oriented outlook with a distinctly conservative, apolitical, and inclusive social stance. It reflected France’s reorientation toward a particular technological and consumer modernity while simultaneously serving to obscure France’s recent colonial past and the dubious legacy of imperialism. To contextualize yé-yé, this thesis begins by examining the blousons noirs (black jackets) and the societal anxieties that surrounded them in the early Fifth Republic (1958-1962).

The visit began with a tour of several Languedoc vignerons. This area is considered by many to be the most innovative in France, producing soft rustic red blends based on several of the traditional Mediterranean grapes used in the southern Rhône valley, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and/or Carignan. The vin de pays wines are far less traditional and seem to dominate. The producers we visited were not concerned with not bottling under AOC appellation labels. The soils of the region vary notably from alluvial near the sea to more chalk, gravel and limestone. Many of the better vineyards, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, that we visited are planted not on the plain but on relatively high, cool plateaus. Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV).

    International conference Risks and Leisure Along major european rivers Conference center of Orléans 22 & 23 september 2005 organised by the Etablissement Public Loire as part of the european project « Freude am Fluss, enjoying life along the river » and as part of the Loire festival of Orléans 2005. International conference Risks and Leisure along major european rivers – September 2005 - 1 - International conference Risks and Leisure along major european rivers – September 2005 - 2 - By the time Europe of the peoples still largely remains to be built, what a more beautiful symbol than to share experiences between major european rivers. In the past, rivers were places for battles ; today they link cities and men of our " old " countries. Our modern society is crossed by contradictory aspirations : requirement of safety and comfort, desire of preserved nature and leisure. This conference organized by the Etablissement Public Loire, under the double sponsorship of the European project “Freude am Fluss”, whose general manager is the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, and the “Festival de Loire” in Orleans, fits perfectly in this context. The interest, the diversity and the quality of the contributions gathered in this file, obviously show that a new model of development is borned in Europe, which aims for better living along our rivers, balancing risks and leisure. Wishing you profitable exchanges, but also much " Freude ", at the edge of the Loire river, registered in the UNESCO world heritage ! Jean GERMAIN Chairman of Etablissement

  • 377 Final 2003/0140
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.6.2003 COM (2003) 377 final 2003/0140 (ACC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the conclusion of an agreement between the European Community and Canada on trade in wines and spirit drinks (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. This agreement between Canada and the European Community is the result of bilateral negotiations which took place from 7 November 2001 to 24 April 2003 on the basis of a negotiating mandate adopted by the Council on 1 August 2001 (Doc. 11170/01). The agreement comprises arrangements for the reciprocal trade in wines and spirit drinks with a view to creating favourable conditions for its harmonious development. 2. The agreement specifies oenological practices which may be used by producers of wine exported to the other Party, as well as a procedure for accepting new oenological practices. The Community's simplified system of certification will be applied to imported wines originating in Canada. Canada will not introduce import certification for Community wines and will simplify the extent of such testing requirements as are currently applied by provinces, within a year of entry into force. Production standards are agreed for wine made from grapes frozen on the vine. Concerning production standards for spirit drinks, the agreement provides that Canada will adhere to Community standards for its exports of whisky to the Community. 3. Procedures whereby geographical indications relating to wines and spirit drinks of either Party may be protected in the territory of the other Party are agreed. The current "generic" status in Canada of 21 wine names will be ended by the following dates: 31 December 2013 for Chablis, Champagne, Port and Porto, and Sherry; 31 December 2008 for Bourgogne and Burgundy, Rhin and Rhine, and Sauterne and Sauternes; the date of entry into force of the agreement for Bordeaux, Chianti, Claret, Madeira, Malaga, Marsala, Medoc and Médoc, and Mosel and Moselle.
