  • The Twenty-First-Century Reinvention of Carnival Rituals in Paris and Cherbourg: Extending the Boundaries of Belonging Via Politicized Ritual
    THE POLITICS OF CARNIVAL The Twenty-First-Century Reinvention of Carnival Rituals in Paris and Cherbourg: Extending the Boundaries of Belonging via Politicized Ritual Monika Salzbrunn University of Lausanne, France KEYWORDS ABSTRACT Carnival Carnival as a research object has been studied from a multiplicity of perspectives: folklore Bœuf Gras studies, European ethnology, social and cultural anthropology, history, sociology, etc. Each Paris of these disciplines has enriched the literature by focusing on different aspects of the event, such as its participatory nature, its transformative potential (at an individual or collective level), Cherbourg and its political dimension broadly conceived. The present article reviews this scholarship and political anthropology uses it to analyze the contemporary Parisian Carnival, which has tried to revive the nineteenth- folklore studies century Promenade du Boeuf Gras tradition on a local and translocal level through its creative collaboration with the carnival of Cherbourg, Normandy. I argue that, through satire and other politicized carnival rituals, the recent protagonists of Parisian Carnival (Les Fumantes de Pantruche) have reinvented the festivities and influenced Norman Carnival, thus extending the boundaries of belonging in both cities.

  • Winter Magic!
    Winter Magic! 1 TEACHER’S EDITION Bon Vivant Educational Tours, Your Partner in Education Educational tours are often the first trip away from home for many students. That is why we create quality tours that will leave a long-lasting impression. At Bon Vivant, we strive to ignite a passion for travel and learning through fun-filled activities and contact with the French language and culture. 2 Our objective is two-fold... Through educational travel, 1 we seek to inspire students to pursue their French language education and to help them develop into global citizens. We strive to facilitate the 2 tour-planning process by offering flexible, personalized and professional service. 3 e believe that travel complements learning and encourages students to become active, responsible and open-minded citizens. Using Wthe Essential Graduation Learnings for Atlantic Canada as a framework, we develop educational units that complement the regular curriculum, and prepare students for their upcoming tour through meaningful and fun-filled activities. We also believe that educational travel, with its real-world contact with history, language arts, mathematics, science and art, inspire students to become lifelong learners. For each unit, we have identified the specific curriculum links. We have also integrated the four components of the French Immersion program1: 1. Appreciation of the French Language and of Cultural Diversity; 2. Listening and Oral Expression; 3. Reading and Viewing; 4. Writing and Representing. Recognizing the importance of the 3 levels of congnitive taxonomy (knowing/applying/integrating) and the value of resource based learning, we have conceived activities that we hope will encourage students to get involved in preparing for their school trip and thus enhance their overall educational travel experience.
