    Silence in Second Language Learning. Colette A. Granger (2004) [review]

    No full text
    A review of 'Silence in Second Language Learning' by Colette A. Granger published by Multilingual Matters LTD, Series: Second Language Acquisition 6 2004. ISBN 1-85359-697-3. The fundamental question that the author attempts to elucidate is: “What is the significance of silence in the process of learning to speak” (p. 5) in a second language? This puzzling question sits uneasily within the common sense view that speaking a language is helpful for learning it, and within the more theoretical view of the second language learning process as an apprenticeship into new discourse practices. This title may even seem unsettling, if not downright paradoxical, from a language pedagogy perspective entrenched in a Western tradition that requires classroom participants to engage in some kind of dialogic exchange. A further difficulty rests with the methodological issue of how to analyse the meaning of silence when the content is absent. Finally, one might question the usefulness of such an exploration. The author genuinely acknowledges these conflicting issues from the start and clearly states her intention to address them systematically. To this effect, she adopts a psychoanalytic theory as an interpretive framework for her study

    German Occupation, Resistance and the Immediate Postwar Years – The Politicization of Colette and Colette de Jouvenel

    No full text
    Much has been written about Colette’s assertion that women should not engage in political life; she never understood herself as a feminist. Her daughter Colette de Jouvenel, however, initially an unmotivated dressmaker’s apprentice, who spent the 1930s working in the film industry, became a feminist and political activist supporting the Resistance movement. This article focuses on the dynamics between Colette, the famous author, and Colette de Jouvenel, her daughter. In this article, I contend that women’s paramount role in the Resistance movement as well as the role intellectuals held in the Resistance and the influence they exerted on the literary scene of the postwar years, contributed to both women’s politicization. Colette de Jouvenel’s political activism during World War II as well as her committed journalism, recognized by intellectuals during the postwar era, can be seen as a driving force that also contributed to Colette’s desire to embrace a more overt political stance, relativizing her earlier self-portrayal as an apolitical woman and writer.On a beaucoup écrit sur les déclarations de Colette contre l’engagement politique des femmes. Colette ne s'est jamais considérée féministe. En revanche, sa fille Colette de Jouvenel (qui a d'abord été, sans grand enthousiasme, apprentie couturière avant de travailler dans l'industrie cinématographique pendant les années 1930) a soutenu la Résistance et est devenue militante féministe et politique. Cet essai examine la dynamique entre Colette, la célèbre auteure, et Colette de Jouvenel, sa fille. Dans cet essai, j’avance l’idée que le rôle primordial joué par les femmes dans la Résistance, ainsi que le rôle des intellectuels dans la Résistance et l'influence que ceux-ci ont exercée sur le marché littéraire des années d'après-guerre, ont contribué à la politisation de Colette et de Colette de Jouvenel. Le militantisme de Colette de Jouvenel pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et son journalisme engagé, reconnus par les intellectuels de l'après-guerre, peuvent être considérés comme un moteur, qui a aussi contribué au désir de Colette d'afficher un engagement politique qu’elle rejetait avant la guerre. Elle relativise ainsi l'image de femme et d'écrivaine apolitique qu'elle se donnait auparavant

    Real life

    Colette Paul's story explores, in a humorous way, how the stuff of `real life' is transformed by the writer into `material' for fiction. It also address some anxieties about teaching Creative Writing. However, while these concerns frame `Real life' as explicitly metafictional, the way in which class politics are engaged with is of equal importance to the author

    Une féerie d’insectes enchantait l’opéra bouffe du Roi Carotte

    Full text link
    En 1872, un opéra bouffe féerie d’Offenbach était à l’affiche du Théâtre de la Gaîté à Paris. Il s’agissait du Roi Carotte, un spectacle satisfaisant le goût du merveilleux et du surnaturel. L’argument incluait un défilé d’insectes dont les costumes avaient été dessinés par Théophile Thomas. Les rares aquarelles sauvegardées montrent le charme et l’élégance de déguisements comptant parmi les plus originaux du siècle : des portraits zoomorphiques pour une éblouissante parade féerique pleine de fantaisies extravagantes. Or, l’analyse descriptive précise des silhouettes, inédite à ce jour, révèle que l’artiste a puisé son inspiration, non pas dans une imagination débridée, mais dans le plus grand réalisme de morphologies zoologiques répertoriées en Sciences de la Nature. Agrandis à la taille humaine, campés entre humour et satire, les ambassadeurs d’un microcosme animal mimaient une société hiérarchisée, préoccupée de sociopolitique, passionnée de progrès et de sciences
