Doctoral Dissertations. 1161. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1161 Notions of Self and Nation in French Author-Aviators of World War II: From Myth to Ambivalence Christopher Steven Kean, PhD University of Connecticut, 2016 The traditional image of wartime aviators in French culture is an idealized, mythical notion that is inextricably linked with an equally idealized and mythical notion of nationhood. The literary works of three French author-aviators from World War II – Antoine de Saint- Exupéry, Jules Roy, and Romain Gary – reveal an image of the aviator and the writer that operates in a zone between reality and imagination. The purpose of this study is to delineate the elements that make up what I propose is a more complex and even ambivalent image of both individual and nation. Through these three works – Pilote de guerre (Flight to Arras), La Vallée heureuse (The Happy Valley), and La Promesse de l’aube (Promise at Dawn) – this dissertation proposes to uncover not only the figures of individual narratives, but also the figures of “a certain idea of France” during a critical period of that country’s history.

  • The Trouble with Words
    6331_Anholt_01_jm.qxd 11/24/99 3:17 PM Page 1 1 The Trouble with Words Once upon a time, there was an airline which decided to run a spe- cial promotion on its busy route between Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and London, England. Aware that here was rich potential for linguistic di- saster, the marketing department decided to play safe and have their London agency devise a simple poster in English, which could then be safely translated into Arabic. “Fly to London this Autumn,” ran the line, “and save up to 20% on the normal return fare.” The posters were made, the campaign ran, and the promotion was a huge success. Such a success, in fact, that the following month, the people in the Saudi office decided to throw a party for their English colleagues. At the party, the marketing manager for the Middle East drew aside his English colleague and said, “I’d just like to thank you for the excel- lent poster you created for us. I’m certain that it was the main reason for the wonderful success we’ve had. That famous English creativity! I’ve been saying it for years. We need a bit more of that over here!” The Director of Marketing was flattered, and thanked his col- league, but the man carried on: “It was so unexpected, so . off the wall, so zany. I just don’t know how you people keep coming up with these ideas.” The Director of Marketing began to feel confused: “Well, you know, we weren’t even trying to be especially creative on that ad— you should see what we can do when we really pull out all the stops!” 1 6331_Anholt_01_jm.qxd 11/24/99 3:17 PM Page 2 THE TROUBLE WITH WORDS But his Saudi colleague just replied, “Ah, the famous British mod- esty!
