Missed Encounters: Engaged French Intelectuals and the Yugoslav Wars
No full textIn her contribution, Nadège Ragaru investigates what she calls a paradox: The warsin Yugoslavia provoked a wide array of citizen initiatives, petitions, and demonstrations. Yet,their impact on French diplomacy was limited. The French government remained opposed tothe idea of military intervention until the 1995 elections. The author examines three aspects ofthis paradox: First, the encounters between Paris and Sarajevo resulted in missed opportunities.For the French intellectuals the conflict turned into an arena where several prominent figurestested their authority, attempted to bolster their legitimacy, and introduced the divisions thatstructure their competing intellectual fields. Second, while “local voices” were solicited bythe media and inaugurated “the era of the witness” (Wieviorka), their selective use tendedto obscure the conflict. Finally, the wars represented a critical moment for academics witha Yugoslav background. Many had not worked on Yugoslav issues before and witnessedpowerlessly as former academic solidarities in France and Yugoslavia collapsed. This situationin turn impeded a more adequate analysis of the Yugoslav wars

Infectious disease does not impact the lying and grooming behaviour of post-parturient dairy cows
No full textBehaviour is commonly used to detect sickness in animals, but the impact of sickness on lying and maternal behaviours around parturition is not well understood. The objective was to assess the effects of sickness on the lying and grooming behaviours of dairy cows in the first 24 h after giving birth. Cows were categorized as 'sick' (n = 8) if they had at least one rectal temperature ≥39.1 °C and one clinical sign of illness (mastitis, pneumonia or an unknown infection) within 24 h of calving. These cows were match-paired for parity with cows that had no rectal temperature ≥39.1 °C and no clinical signs of illness up to 3 d after calving (n = 8; 'not sick'). The duration and latency of cow behaviours (standing, lying, lying bouts, lying close to calf, and grooming of the calf) and calf behaviours (standing and lying) were recorded for 24 h post-partum. We found no differences in the behaviour of sick and not sick cows and their calves post-calving, except that sick cows took longer to lie down near their calf after calving compared to those without illness. Cows may be more motivated to groom and spend time with their calf than to express sickness behaviours immediately after giving birth

The labyrinth as a metadiscursive motif in Christian Grenier's literary creation
No full textThe labyrinth motif appears regularly in Christian Grenier's novels. In diegesis, it is always linked to myth and the fates of Daedalus, Theseus and Ariadne. It is also a diegetic motif that structures the setting, organizes the characters' quest and generates suspense. But this motif is above all a metadiscursive metaphor that theorizes the author's writing. In particular, he evokes the meandering construction of police intrigues. It also represents the referential games developed by Christian Grenier: By mixing the words of other writers with his own, offers his readers the opportunity to enter a kind of intertextual labyrinth
The issue of the breton identity revealed through the narrative patterns in Le Cheval d’orgueil by Pierre-Jakez Hélias
No full textCe mémoire met en lumière la notion de bretonnité dans Le Cheval d’orgueil, l’œuvre de Pierre Jakez Hélias, la dernière de la collection Terre Humaine parue chez Plon en 1975. La narration homodiégétique segmentée en huit chapitres retrace l’enfance de l’auteur et les faits marquants qui ont ponctué sa vie jusqu’à son entrée au lycée de Quimper, dans le pays bigouden au début du XXe siècle. Le but principal de cette étude est d’examiner les procédés narratifs dans le discours du narrateur et en quoi ces procédés sont pertinents pour décrire l’identité bretonne telle qu’elle l’était il y a un siècle et telle qu’elle l’est aujourd’hui encore. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous observons le lien privilégié que le narrateur établit avec son lecteur au fil de la narration, basé sur la confiance mutuelle entre le premier qui veut faire passer un message et le second qui s’en réfère à la véracité des événements relatés. Nous remarquons aussi la pluralité des genres de cette œuvre que les chercheurs qualifient de témoignage ethnographique à l’aspect autobiographique mais que l’on peut également désigner comme récit de vie. Nous analysons, enfin, l’impact de l’introspection de l’auteur dans la narration et la valeur de la mémoire dans son récit.This essay highlights the notion of “bretonnity” in Le Cheval d’orgueil, Pierre-Jakez Hélias’ work, which was the last of the Terres Humaines series published by Plon in 1975. The homodiegetic narration segmented in eight chapters traces the childhood of the author and the significant events that punctuated his life until he went to high school in Quimper, in the bigouden county in Brittany, at the beginning of the 20th century. The main aim of this study is to examine the narrative processes in the narrator’s speech and how these processes are relevant to describe Breton identity as it was a century ago and as it still is today. To meet this aim, we observe the privileged link that the author establishes with his reader throughout the narration, based on mutual trust between the author, who wants to convey a message, and the reader, who refers to the veracity of the events recounted in the text. We also note the plurality of genres in this work which researchers qualify as an ethnographic testimony with an autobiographical aspect, but which can also be designated as a life story. Finally, we analyse the impact of the author’s introspection in the narration and the value of memory in this story

Les stratégies de production de la confiance dans le domaine du marché des produits alimentaires
