In praise of folly : Didier Daeninckx, Caché dans la maison des fous
No full textTo launch his new collection, “Sur le fil,” whose aim is to feature “novels in which the destiny of a poet meets History with a capital H,”[1] the publisher and author Bruno Doucey made what was perhaps an obvious decision: as a companion to his own book on Max Jacob,[2] he would invite Didier Daeninckx to pen a work as well. Daeninckx was an excellent choice, for a variety of reasons. Firstly, although he made his name in the roman noir (before extending his range to more mainstream fiction), he has a long-established liking for poetry.[3] Secondly, he has an equally enduring interest in history: well aware that numerous sensitive issues — relating principally to French colonialism, the Occupation, World War I and the Paris Commune — have been swept under the carpet, he has constantly, and provocatively, challenged “official” accounts of the past and their obfuscations. Thirdly and finally, Daeninckx is one of the most successful and visible writers on the contemporary French literary scene, so having him contribute would help to advertise the new series. When approached, Daeninckx readily accepted, and he did not have to look far for his subject. He simply had to turn, as he had in many previous stories, to his own background for inspiration: his grand-father once bought a plot of land — soon to become the family home — from a certain Eugène Grindel, whose son was later to achieve fame as the poet Paul Éluard. Daeninckx knew that, during the Occupation, Éluard had hidden in the asile (asylum) in Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole to escape from the Gestapo. He similarly knew that this particular story (with the resulting production of new poems) was not widely known, which was yet another incentive for him to tell it; so tell it he did
Fantasia verbale e irriverente parodia in L’Evangile de Jimmy (2004) di Didier van Cauwelaert
No full textVerbal fantasy and irreverent parody in L'Evangile de Jimmy (2004) by Didier van Cauwelaert
L'Evangile de Jimmy, by Didier van Cauwelaert (Paris, Albin Michel, 2004), proposes a rewriting of the events from the gospel, but told from a postmodern perspective and featuring typically parodical tones. The Christian isotope, subjected to a process of distortion, forms the leitmotif around which the story unfolds. The author, taking advantage of the mechanisms of expansion and transposition, arrives at the construction of a parodic, apocryphal and desecrating revision, if not actually blasphemous, of some salient events in the life of Christ also entrusted to the nomination. The provocative approach and the communicative intention wrought with parody are especially entrusted to the denominations of the protagonist
Pour en finir avec la « cité hydraulique » ? Note de lecture de l'ouvrage de Didier Pillot, Jardins et rizières du Cambodge. Les enjeux du développement agricole, 2007
No full textThe main purpose of Didier Pillot's work is to define what is at stake in the agricultural development of modern Cambodia. However the author favors throughout his study a dynamic approach of the agrarian practices and his argument includes long developments on historical times. The present review article thus intends to underline the interest of this work for the knowledge of the agrarian history of Cambodia, while anticipating some of the objections that could be made by archaeologists. It aims at identifying the main hypotheses that underlie Didier Pillot's analysis, but also at partly reorienting the long term history outlined by the author. It hopes to open up a necessary dialogue between historians and agronomists.L'ouvrage de Didier Pillot vise avant tout à définir les enjeux du développement agricole pour le Cambodge contemporain. Cependant l'auteur privilégie tout au long de son étude une approche dynamique des pratiques agraires et son propos inclut de longs développements sur les époques plus anciennes. La présente note de lecture entend donc souligner l'intérêt de cet ouvrage pour la compréhension de l'histoire agraire du Cambodge, tout en anticipant certaines des objections qu'il pourrait susciter aux yeux des archéologues. Elle se propose d'identifier les grandes hypothèses qui sous-tendent l'analyse de Didier Pillot, mais aussi d'imprimer certaines inflexions à l'histoire sur la longue durée qui est esquissée par l'auteur, en espérant définir là les termes d'un dialogue nécessaire entre historiens et agronomes.Bourdonneau Éric.

Rich Dad Poor Dad: An Entrepreneurial Approach to the Teaching of Business French
No full textUS higher education has focused on the development of new cadres of employees to the near exclusion of entrepreneurship as a career path. In this article, the authors describe an entrepreneurial approach to the teaching of Business French. The senior author served as the course instructor while the junior author was a student who completed the course. To provide an entry into the world of global entrepreneurship, the senior author selected the French translation of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad. In parallel with the reading of Rich Dad, students completed a series of entrepreneurial course activities. Selected activities are described from the perspectives of both authors. The article ends with students’ feelings about (1) entrepreneurship, (2) future career plans, (3) the theme of the course, and (4) the use of Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad

De la consommation à la consomption. Ignis (1883) de Didier de Chousy ou quand la maison Terre brûle
No full textThis article deals with an underrated novel by Didier de Chousy, Ignis (1883), published during the craze for scientism and positivism. This anticipation novel, fraught with grating irony, went against the optimism that defined the craze, as the author used the boundless technical possibilities flaunted by the industrial age to imagine a robot-assisted “augmented humanity”. Utopia was thus turned into scathing social dystopia and, a few years before Jules Verne’s novel, a “topsy-turvy” world on the brink of self-destruction was depicted. This ground-breaking work, which tackled both social criticism and the need for environmental awareness, heralded many of the themes that inspired H. G. Wells and the “brave new world” Chousy imagined was just as relevant as the ones of our modern dystopias: the model of development that largely remains ours found itself relentlessly questioned, as a call for immediate change was issued.
