Blanche Shoenberger letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, October 22, 1914
No full textBlanche Shoenberger wrote this letter on October 22, 1914, to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association to request pamphlets endorsing women's suffrage in the state of Ohio. Shoenberger also wrote of her hopes that women's suffrage would be achieved in Ohio later that fall.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
Silene astartes C.I. Blanche ex Boiss., Fl. Orient. Suppl.
No full textSilene astartes C.I. Blanche ex Boiss., Fl. Orient. Suppl.: 102. 1888. Lectotypus (designated here): Lebanon . Prov. Mount-Lebanon: Djebaïl, ruines d’AFka, VI-VII.1880, fl. & Fr., Blanche 55 (G-BOIS [G00330604]!; isolecto-: BEI!, G [G00341654]!) (Fig. 1). Notes. – Boissier (1888) published S. astartes in the “Supplementum oF the Flora Orientalis”. He wrote “ S. astartes (Blanche in litt.)” beFore the Latin description. Ŋe mention oF Blanche as the author “in litt.” by Boissier has been interpreted in different ways in the literature. Floras oF Lebanon have cited only C.I. Blanche as the author oF the species (sometimes with the mention “in Boiss.”; Post, 1896, 1932; ThiÉbaut, 1936; Mouterde, 1966; TohmÉ & TohmÉ, 2007), whereas BouloumoY (1930) interpreted the authorship as “Boiss. et B.” [Boiss. & C.I. Blanche]. In the Boissier’s Herbarium oF the “Flora Orientalis” (G-BOIS), Blanche 55 contains a handwritten note by Blanche himselF with a Latin description oF the species (Fig. 1). However this description differs considerably From the protologue where Boissier published a new and more complete description by validating the name (Boissier, 1888: 102). We thereFore ascribe Boissier as the author oF S. astartes in accordance with Greuter et al. (1984) and not as C.I. Blanche as mentioned in the latest flora oF Lebanon treatment (TohmÉ & TohmÉ, 2007). Boissier (1888) clearly cited two gatherings in the protologue: “Hab. in Libano supra Djebail ad minas AFka (Bl.!)” and “ad Ain SuFar (Peyron!)”. Only Blanche 55 [G00330604] is present in G-BOIS. We Found three duplicates oF the Peyron collection at G and one at P. Each oF them bears the locality “Ain SuFar” and are dated June 11, 1882. Two oF them have the collection number 1379 mentioned [G00341656, P04987226]) and two [G00341655, G00341657] without any number. All these collections have a glandular-pubescent calyx and match Fully with S. italica (L.) Pers. and not with S. astartes, which has a calyx always glabrous. ŊereFore, we choose Blanche 55 housed at G-BOIS as the lectotype, which is the only material present at G-BOIS and exclude the remaining syntypes From S. astartes.Published as part of Pierre-Emmanuel Du Pasquier & Daniel Jeanmonod, 2016, Lectotypification of three species of Silene sect.

The author shows how in the course of the last quarter century Chomsky has veered from his original exercise the essential aim of which was the enumeration of the grammatical sentences of a language, to another where actual enumeration is overshadowed by the search for constraints that so limit the power of operations that they be compatible with neuronal reality. The author tries to identify the few principles that can, in her eyes, be candidates for the construction of such constraints: in particular, she picks out principles of formally-remarkable category, of critical distance, uniqueness, maximality and identity.Grunig Blanche-Noëlle.

Aventures au Canada : L’épopée blanche de Louis-Frédéric Rouquette (1884-1926)
No full textLouis-Frédéric Rouquette fut un auteur apprécié au début du XXe siècle, et ses récits d’aventures ont marqué plusieurs générations de lecteurs qui se sont ouverts, grâce aux talents de l’auteur, à de nouveaux horizons. Certains de ses romans n’ont d’ailleurs jamais cessé d’être réédités. Le Canada, surtout le Grand Nord, est au centre d’au moins trois de ses romans : Le grand silence blanc, La bête errante et L’épopée blanche. Ce Jack London français a voyagé à travers tout le Canada et, dans L’épopée blanche, il dresse un portrait des débuts de la colonisation de l’Ouest et de l’oeuvre missionnaire des oblats. Dans cet article, nous proposerons donc une relecture de cette oeuvre par rapport au concept de roman d’aventures, ainsi qu’une analyse de l’idéologie sous-jacente.Louis-Frédéric Rouquette was a much-read author at the beginning of the twentieth century. His adventure stories influenced generations of readers, whom Rouquette’s tales exposed to a variety of new experiences. Some of his novels have never been out of print. Canada, and particularly the far North, are at the centre of at least three of his novels: Le grand silence blanc, La bête errante and L’épopée blanche. A French Jack London who traveled throughout Canada, his L’épopée blanche describes the beginning of colonization of the West and the missionary work of the Oblate Fathers. This article presents a rereading of the work within the framework of the adventure story genre, and also an analysis of the ideology that underlies it
Blanche Selva: her pianistic legacy
No full textBlanche Selva (1884-1942) was an eminent French-Catalan pianist, pedagogue, author, editor and composer. She acquired a formidable technique that allowed her to give the first performance of important works such as Albéniz’s Iberia while being equally comfortable playing all of Bach’s keyboard music, 32 Beethoven Sonatas and copious amounts of new music. She held prominent positions as a teacher, first at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, then the conservatoires in Strasbourg, Prague and the École Normale in Paris. She wrote several books, including a treatise on piano technique and her catalogue as an editor comprises nearly 200 works. Selva also composed pieces for solo piano and organ as well as chamber music and choral works.
Despite such a versatile and successful career, Blanche Selva’s role in the development of twentieth-century pianism has been seriously overlooked. This thesis provides the first comprehensive, English-language account of her career, addressing her under-representation in modern scholarship of the period. Further, her unique trajectory and exceptional musical and technical insights offer viable solutions applicable to the modern pianist and piano teacher.
The thesis is based on extensive documentary evidence, most notably concert programmes, letters and her own recordings, as well as practice-based research. Her seven-volume treatise on teaching piano technique — L’Enseignement musical de la technique du piano (1916-1925) — has been examined at a practical level by applying its precepts to my own piano practice and in lessons with my students. I have also conducted interviews with pupils of former students of Selva to understand better what aspects, if any, of her method, have permeated later teaching practices.
Blanche Selva emerges from this research as a remarkable musician and personality whose study will better inform our views of early twentieth-century performance practice, where some women had a more influential role than they have been given credit for. Her technical proposals are unique in their scope and the amount of detail that she provides for their study is likewise remarkable. Her method is sound, and its study will help modern pianists and teachers alike. Likewise, a thorough examination of her recorded work provides a tangible testament to her technical and musical abilities as well as the modernity of her approach, opening avenues for pianists of the twenty-first century
« Blanche-Neige » à la scène aujourd’hui : options dramaturgiques
No full textInternational audienceStage adaptations of the most famous of the Grimm fairy tales proliferated from the 1940s onwards, under the influence of Disney's animated feature films: the BnF's general catalog lists various types of adaptations - ballet, fairy tale, comedy show, musical, etc. Less numerous, the published plays are more often than not parodic in nature, and aim to entertain young readers by playing with their literary culture. We propose to focus on a more demanding form of creative theater, based on a corpus of recent plays that take a singular approach to the age-old tale. Each of these theatrical rewrites deserves attention, whether the tale advances masked (Fanny Carel, Fleur d'hiver, L'École des loisirs, 2014), cultivates its poetic fiber (Christophe Sigognault, Blanche-Neige tragédie, Julien Nègre éditeur, 2019), updates its diegesis (Samuel Hercule and Métilde Weyergans, Blanche Neige ou La chute du mur de Berlin, La ville brûle, 2016) or dynamites the character system (Marie Dilasser Blanche-Neige, histoire d'un prince, Les Solitaires intempestifs, 2019). The dramaturgical choices made in these plays testify to the diversity of discourses addressed to young people based on one of the world's best-known texts. They can be read alongside the play for adults by Claudine Galéa - also an author for young people - who, in Blanche Neige foutue forêt (Éditions espaces 34, 2018), includes the fairy tale in her list of characters.Les adaptations à la scène du plus célèbre des contes des Grimm se multiplient à partir des années 1940, sous l’influence du long métrage d’animation de Disney : le catalogue général de la BnF en recense différentes modalités – ballet, féerie, spectacle humoristique, comédie musicale, etc. Moins nombreuses, les pièces publiées relèvent le plus souvent du genre parodique et visent à divertir le jeune lecteur en jouant avec sa culture littéraire. Nous proposons de nous attacher à un théâtre de création plus exigeant, à partir d’un corpus de pièces récentes qui se fondent de manière singulière sur le récit séculaire. Chacune de ces réécritures théâtrales mérite attention, que le conte avance masqué (Fanny Carel, Fleur d’hiver, L’École des loisirs, 2014), cultive sa fibre poétique (Christophe Sigognault, Blanche-Neige tragédie, Julien Nègre éditeur, 2019), actualise sa diégèse (Samuel Hercule et Métilde Weyergans, Blanche Neige ou La chute du mur de Berlin, La ville brûle, 2016) ou dynamite le système des personnages (Marie Dilasser Blanche-Neige, histoire d'un prince, Les Solitaires intempestifs, 2019). Les choix dramaturgiques de ces pièces témoignent de la diversité des discours adressés à la jeunesse à partir de l’un des textes les plus connus au monde. On pourra les lire en regard de la pièce pour adultes de Claudine Galéa – par ailleurs autrice pour la jeunesse – qui, dans Blanche Neige foutue forêt (Éditions espaces 34, 2018), intègre le conte à la liste des personnages
