The article analyzes the relation between slavery and the structures and practices of law with reference to a story of a woman named Rosalie who, in the late 18th century, was deported as a slave to the French colony of Saint-Domingue (modern day Haïti). Efforts made by Rosalie in regaining her liberty are highlighted. Role of law and judicial processes in upholding and challenging the structures of caste and white supremacy that emerged after the end of slavery is discussed.

The article discusses the publication of various edition of the book "Fleurs du Mal" by Charles Baudelaire first published in 1857 ant then in 1861 is a collection of poems that deals with themes related to decadence and eroticism. Topics include it importance in symbolist and modernist movements and literary criticism of the poems.

This study seeks to assess the extent to which die digital book market is structuring independently from the print edition market by comparing the pricing of 559 digital and print French and American bestsellers during 2011. Two pricing methods are distinguished: "homothetic pricing," where the digital pricing is a reflection of the print pricing, and "heterothetic pricing," where the digital price is set according to new rules. The French and American markets do not have the same propensity to overcome the pricing practices in the print book market: While the French market's e-book structure is mirroring that of the print book industry, die American market tends to be more independent. This can be explained by die significant structural, legal, and institutional differences between the publishing industries of both countries. In addition, some factors favor die "heterothetic" pricing method: the number of pages and the type of book influence the degree of differentiation between print and digital prices of the same title [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé: Les aliments industriels destinés aux nourrissons (4–12 mois) et enfants en bas âge (1–3ans) (en dehors des laits infantiles et des céréales), dénommés aussi aliments pour bébés, se distinguent des aliments industriels non spécifiques conçus pour les adultes et des aliments courants par des critères stricts de composition et de sécurité sanitaire définis par la réglementation française et européenne. Évaluée en France à 89 666 tonnes en 2011 l’offre commerciale pour ces denrées vise à répondre à tous les besoins alimentaires des jeunes enfants : produits laitiers, denrées salées et sucrées, adaptés à l’âge (composition, texture, portions). Les aliments pour bébés ne représentent qu’une part modérée des apports alimentaires des 4–36 mois. Exprimés en pourcentage de l’apport énergétique total, ils constituent en moyenne 7 % de la consommation à 4–5 mois, 28 % à 6–7 mois, 27 % à 8–11 mois, 17 % à 12–17 mois, 11 % à 18–24 mois. Vingt-quatre pour cent des parents n’en donnent jamais à leur enfant, 13 % 1 à 3j/semaine et 63 % 4 à 7j/semaine. Même chez les gros consommateurs, les aliments pour bébés ont peu d’effets sur la qualité nutritionnelle du régime. Cependant, leur emploi retarde et diminue l’utilisation des aliments industriels non spécifiques, ce qui peut contribuer à réduire les risques nutritionnels et toxicologiques liés à la consommation de ces denrées chez les jeunes enfants. Si ces produits sont bien adaptés aux nourrissons et enfants en bas âge, ils doivent rester des aliments de sevrage et de complément à l’alimentation familiale ű faite maison Ƈ.

From a socio-cognitive transdisciplinary perspective combining psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, this research paper studies the relations between manifestations of interlinguistic transfers and metasyntactic skills in 9/10-year-old French-Norwegian children. Its purpose is to assess whether these transfers influence access and use of the children’s metasyntactic skills in reading comprehension tasks. Following a mixed-method research design, data was collected with 33 bilingual French-Norwegian children registered in the 5th grade at the French school in Oslo. The children took part in a grammaticality judgment test written in French and containing errors due to Norwegian syntactic calque. Subsequently, 13 of the children involved in the experiment participated in a semi-structured interview in which they explained their answers. A group of French monolingual children also took the test in France. Statistical analyses of the test results show the existence of interlinguistic syntactic transfers which weaken metasyntactic skills when errors are related to the use of a preposition.

Spirituality in organizations is a research field that has not attracted much interest from Francophone researchers in management science. In fact, this new trend is very developed in North America but goes unnoticed in France and in francophone countries. The lack of French scientific papers on this topic lead us to provide a theoretical basis for further researches. This paper aims to clarify concepts of spirituality, religion and spirituality at work place as a socio-ideological dimension. We try also to correlate the concept of spirituality managerial aspects in organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper aims to explore the topic of the vocation of a courtesan in the 19th-century France, by analyzing memoirs of tree demi-mondaines of the time: Céleste Mogador, Cora Pearl and Rigolboche. Does such a vocation exist? If yes, how can we define this notion? The first part tries to show that prostitution isn't chosen by women because of the their inclination to debauchery, but is the result of the failed education and parental abandonment. The second part focuses on the importance of independence in the courtesan's life, as a part of their vocation, and the manner to gain it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper provides a discursive and lexical study of the biographical peculiarities of some women who became holy in Orthodoxy; or in "secular" terms, using the words of the contemporary modern man, a study of the main aspects of what might be called a particular type of female "career" in holiness. We will refer to holy martyrs of the first centuries of Christianity and to contemporary saints, including one who lived in the previous century, as well as to other saints, mentioned as wives, mothers or sisters of holy men, analyzing both lexically and discursively their proper names and the stories of their lives contained in the Synaxarion. We will use the most extensive Synaxarion written in French by Father Macarius of the Athonite monastery of Simonos Petra, an abridged version of which is used liturgically at the French Orthodox monastery of Saint-Antoine-Le-Grand, metochion (or dependency) of Simonos Petra in France.

Résumé: Une approche participative a été promue par Santé publique France pour étudier la santé des populations exposées à l'incendie des usines Lubrizol et NL Logistique en septembre 2019. Elle vise à partir des questions que se posent les parties prenantes et à les associer à la construction de l'enquête et à l'analyse des résultats. Dans cet article, la personne en charge de la coordination de cette approche présente les critères à partir desquels le rôle des parties prenantes s'est élaboré, ainsi que sa façon d'appréhender la participation. The French Public Health Agency promoted a participatory approach to study the health of populations exposed to the fire in the Lubrizol and NL Logistique plants in September 2019. Based on the preoccupations of stakeholders, it involves them in the construction of the survey and the analysis of the results. In this paper, the coordinator of this approach presents the criteria used to define the role of the stakeholders and his approach to participation as a process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines how variation in spoken French is taken into account in corrective phonetics courses. A learner of French as a foreign language, anywhere in the world, should be competent in any Francophone area. Even in metropolitan France, however, pronunciation is subject to both geographical and social variation, as phoneticians have observed and investigated since the 19th century. We therefore focus on the teaching and learning of pronunciation (corrective phonetics), with an emphasis on this variation. We question the accepted wisdom in the field and its implications, alongside the limitations of existing teaching resources. The reduced role of phonetics in the FLE classroom, and dependence on a large number of exercises rather than on more communicative approaches, lead us to believe that the entire field requires innovation, taking inspiration from the Digital Humanities.

It has generally been assumed that Burgundian compiler Jean Mansel borrowed the history of the kings of France included in his Fleur des histoires from the Grandes Chroniques de France, the most widely circulated French historiographical work at the time. The present paper challenges this assumption, focusing the attention on a particular segment of Mansel's Fleur in its short redaction. Extant in five manuscripts, this section covers the history of the French kings from Charlemagne to Charles VI. A comparison of Mansel's text with that of the Chronique de France jusque 1380 discloses the striking similarities of the two works in their recounting of the history of the kings of France. It appears that both authors are not dependent on the Grande Chroniques as much as they are indebted to an already reworked and rewritten redaction of this work. Indeed, Jean Mansel and the author of the Chronique jusque 1380 provide a history of the French sovereigns which comes from the Abrégé Paulin Paris. Lexical and stylistic resemblance between Mansel's Fleur and the Chronique jusque 1380 indicates both authors mined an intermediate, unidentified text based on the Abrégé; chronology in the composition of the two works and divergent choices in the selection of episodes recounted assure that the authors worked independently from one another.

Résumé: Cet article revient sur l'évolution des collaborations entre associations et instituts d'expertise dans le domaine de la santé environnementale en France de 1990 à aujourd'hui. L'article décrit la manière dont les organismes d'expertise se sont adaptés à un nouveau contexte, plaçant leurs collaborations avec les associations au cœur des agendas institutionnels. En retraçant la généalogie des politiques d'ouverture à la société, nous donnons à voir les enjeux, les différents groupes d'acteurs embarqués, ainsi que les normes et les procédures à travers lesquels ces politiques sont mises en œuvre. Enfin, nous soulignons les principales limites de ces politiques, dessinant des perspectives aux associations et organismes d'expertise pour poursuivre le changement enclenché. This paper reviews the evolution of alliances between advocacy groups and associations, on the one hand, and scientific institutes and agencies, on the other, in the field of environmental health in France from 1990 until now. The article describes how these public institutions of expertise have adapted to a new context, placing their collaborations with associations at the heart of their institutional agendas. By retracing the history of opening policies to society, we show the stakes, the different groups of actors involved, as well as the norms and procedures by which science reaches out to society. Finally, we highlight the main limitations of these policies and outline opportunities for associations and expertise organizations to continue this change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Napoléon took theatre in great consideration and used to be extremely vigilant with respect to possible political implications in the tragic genre. Even if the creation of new tragedies was encouraged by the government, there were only a small amount of creation at the Comédie Française during the Napoleonian Age and their success was often due to the quality of its interpreters. During this period, mélodrame proves to be the most creative and innovative genre, and it is also the most appreciated by the public. This paper will focus on the historical character of Tippo-Saëb as he was represented in Étienne de Jouy's tragedy of the same name. To better underline the contradictions and uncertainties of the tragic genre, the political and aesthetic implications of the play, Jouy's text will be analyzed in comparison with the mélodrame Tipoo-Saib ou la Prise de Séringapatam by Dubois and Gobert of the same period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aware of the influence that theatre exerts on the public and that it contributes powerfully to forming the coeval public opinion, since his Coup d'État (November 1799) Napoleon took a series of measures that can be summarized in three words: encouraging (first of all, he wanted to help the theatres of the best French tradition to regain their importance as soon as possible), favoring (so that they could act most effectively to the detriment of secondary theatres), controlling (in order for great theatres to act in the service of the Emperor, whose action and name they had to glorify, Napoleon exercised more and more severe control over them). In this paper, after retracing the historical of the institutional interventions that contributes to shape the coeval dramatic landscape, we will try to consider if these measures were really effective and how they determined the evolution of theatrical art. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Consulate and the Empire's cultural policy for the theatres was torn between a republican heritage of revolutionary festivals and the progressive restoration of Ancien Régime practices, as all the while Napoleon's personal grip on power tightened. The commemorations of the storming of the Bastille and of the proclamation of the Republic were eventually put aside and replaced at the end of the Consulate by Napoleon's birthday celebrations (August 15) and the anniversary of his coronation (December 2). During the French Empire, the number of festivals increased with the major victories, campaigns, and other events for the dynasty, such as the Austrian wedding and the birth of Napoleon's heir. This paper examines the organization of these festivities in Paris for the forty free performances (gratis) during the years 1800-1813 and reconstructs the theatrical programme of the eight official playhouses authorized by the 1806 and 1807 decrees. Each institution mainly chose plays from the major plays of its repertoire, but opportune flattery was still a possibility: we see the theatres mixing the political stakes of patriotic propaganda, self-promotion, and branding. When looking at these programmes, three main trends appear: propaganda plays (pièces de circonstance), national and historical dramas, and plays (both new and old) which were supposed to illustrate the French cultural patrimony and glory. As a part of the political ritual, the "gratis" performances shed light on Napoleon's plans for the concepts of power, the people and contemporary culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L'Enchanteur by Charlotte-Rose Caumont de La Force (1654-1724) stands out against other French fairy tales written at the end of the 17th century both because of its treatment of eroticism, and because of its inspiration having been identified as "a gothic book Perceval" by the author herself. The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of L'Enchanteur and its medieval source in the context of women's writing in 17th-century France. By adapting the tale of Carados that appears in the first continuation to Chrétien de Troyes's Perceval, La Force makes use of the attractive archaic language and setting, while at the same providing a streamlined, woman-centred retelling, in which Carados's mother and lover both seek (and find) love and pleasure.
