  • Francophone Courses in United States Colleges and Universities
    Francophone Courses in United States Colleges and Universities Abdellatif Attafi College of Charleston ABSTRACT In undergraduate programs in the U.S, Francophone literature and culture courses are generating more and more interest among students courses are offered in more institutions than in the past but when these courses are offered, they are often optional and rarely mandatory. In order to examine how many Francophone literature and culture courses are offered and required for students, we reviewed 63 French department course catalogs from 63 different sized universities—both public and private—from a variety of geographic regions. The discussion of the results is preceded by a brief synopsis of Francophone history, from the birth of the concept to the present. In the analysis of the results, the importanc of Francophone literature and culture courses for both students and universities is stressed. The Evolution of “Francophone” Culture and Literature First used in 1880 by Onésisme Reclus (1837-1916), a nationalistic and patriotic geographer, the term Francophone referred to group of people and countries outside of France that used the French language at one or more levels. Currently, Francophone countries include Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada, Lebanon, Haiti, former French colonies, Départements d’Outres-Mer (DOM), and Territoires d’Outres- Mer (TOM). In 1880, the concept of Francophonie was part of a larger process of maintaining and extending French power and wealth in the context of increased competition within Europe. France had recently suffered defeat by the Prussian army (in 1871) and was looking for new territories outside of Europe (Farandjis, 2004). French politicians of that era, convinced by the economic benefits of colonialism, passed legislation that financed the military colonization of territory from Vietnam to North and Sub-Saharan Africa, a process completed within the first quarter of the 20th century (Nouschi, 2005).

  • French Ambition and Acadian Labor in the Caribbean, 1762-1767”
    401 “Empire Ex Nihilo: French Ambition and Acadian Labor in the Caribbean, 1762-1767” Christopher Hodson, Northwestern University “Lost Colonies” Conference, March 26-27, 2004 (Please do not cite, quote, or circulate without written permission from the author) At the conclusion of the Seven Years’ War in 1763, geopolitical equilibrium gave way to grotesque imbalance. Great Britain had become a leviathan, acquiring Canada, several key islands in the West Indies, Senegal in Africa, French possessions in the Mediterranean, India, and on the East Indian island of Sumatra, while crushing Gallic pretensions to the Ohio Valley. For Louis XV and his cast of ministers, utter defeat had raised the stakes of the imperial contest; Britain’s near-global dominance demanded a rapid, thorough response. The integration of France’s remaining overseas territories into a militant, economically competitive polity became the penultimate projet in a kingdom bursting with les hommes à projets.1 Draped in the rhetoric of progress, the plans that emerged from this hothouse of patriotism and personal ambition marked an extension of imperial authority unlike any France had ever seen.2 Mercifully, few of these bizarre proposals ever came to fruition. This essay, however, examines two that did. The first, a colony along the Kourou River in Guiana, failed in spectacular fashion only months after its foundation. Thousands of migrants died, and destitute survivors scattered throughout Europe and the Caribbean. The second, a smaller settlement on the northern coast of Saint Domingue, commenced early in 1764. It proved a disappointment, lapsing into obscurity over the next two years. Settlers died or filtered to greener, if equally fetid pastures in Louisiana.

  • Mesaʼs 51St Annual Meeting
    PRELIMINARY PROGRAM VER. 10-12-17 Jake McGuire Destination DC MESAʼs 51st Annual Meeting Washington DC November 18-21 We return to DC for MESA’s 51st annual meeting at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel where we have met every three years since 1999. The hotel is located in a lovely residential area near the National Zoo, but a nearby stop on the metro red line makes all parts of DC easily accessible. The program of 230+ sessions (see pages 12-51) spread over four days will offer a smorgasbord to whet the appetite of any Middle East studies aficionado. MESA’s affiliate groups meet mostly on Saturday, November 18 (see pages 10-11) and the first program session begins that day at 5:30pm. Panels run all day Sunday and Monday and end at 3pm on Tuesday. The book bazaar will be open Sunday and Monday from 9am to 6pm and on Tuesday from 8am to 12pm (see pages 8-9). MESAʼs ever-popular FilmFest (see the teaser on pages 6-7) begins screenings on Saturday morning and runs through Tuesday until around 2pm. The MESA Presidential Address & Awards will be held Sunday evening from 6pm to 7:30pm, and the MESA Members Meeting on Monday evening from 6pm to 8:00pm. As you will see, it’s business as usual, except of course for a new administration that is determined to ban nationals of six Muslim majority countries from traveling to the US, and MESA having joined a lawsuit against the ban that is making its way to the US Supreme Court in October.

Gross: French Language in the Americas Katelyn Gross 1 French Language in the Americas: Quebec, Acadia, and Louisiana Katelyn Gross The French language underwent many changes between the development of French from Latin, to Old French, and to Middle French. French would continue to develop inside of France thereafter, but the French language would also be exported to other parts of the world and those varieties of French would have their own characteristic changes. French explorers and colonizers moved into the Americas, permanently settling what is today Quebec, many parts of Canada, and Louisiana in the United States. In this paper, I will focus on the linguistic differences between metropolitan France and French spoken in Quebec, Acadia, and Louisiana.

  • Acadia Parish
    PARISH FACT SHEET ACADIA PARISH Acadia Parish is located in southwest coastal Louisiana and in POPULATION POPULATION ECONOMIC “Cajun Prairie Country.” The parish seat is Crowley, and other CHANGE DRIVERS larger towns include Eunice and Rayne. The mostly rural parish 62,577 has seen modest population growth in recent decades. The AGRICULTURE parish is known for agriculture, particularly rice and crawfish. MANUFACTURING Crowley is named the “Rice Capital of America” and Rayne lays +5% claim as the “Frog Capital of the World.” The parish’s name is derived from Acadia in Canada, where many Cajun French originated. Information from: 1) U.S. Census Quick Facts (2015 Estimate) 2) U.S. Census (2000-2010); and 3) Acadiana Economic Development and Crowley Chamber of Commerce. FUTURE WITHOUT ACTION LAND LOSS AND FLOOD RISK YEAR 50, MEDIUM ENVIRONMENTAL SCENARIO Flood depths from a 100-year storm event for initial conditions (year 0). Land change (loss or gain) for year 50 under the medium environmental scenario with no future protection or restoration actions taken. Acadia Parish faces minimal potential wetland loss over the next 50 years under the medium environmental scenario with no further coastal protection or restoration actions. Likewise, with no further action, the overall parish faces fairly low future storm surge based flood risk. However, 100-year flood depths may increase to 7-12 feet in areas near the Mermentau river over the next 50 years (under the medium environmental scenario). The town of Mermentau is most at risk with flood depths increasing from the 1-6 foot range to the 7-12 foot range.
