Mataroa 1945 : du mythe à l’histoire
No full textNavire militaire affrété par l’Institut français d’Athènes en décembre 1945, le Mataroa a permis à plus d’une centaine de jeunes Grecs de quitter la Grèce et de rejoindre Tarente, en Italie, avec pour destination finale Paris. Quittant un pays en ruine, profondément affaibli par la guerre et au seuil de la guerre civile, ceux-ci ont ainsi pu être accueillis en France, y mener leurs études et carrière dans des domaines aussi variés que la philosophie, la sculpture, l’architecture, la musique, etc. Au cœur de cette expédition, le directeur de l’Institut français d’Athènes de l’époque, Octave Merlier, qui rendit possible cette opération, aux allures d’épopée moderne. Longtemps passé sous silence, ce voyage constitue sans conteste l’un des événements les plus marquants de l’histoire franco-grecque de l’après-guerre. S’appuyant sur un matériel d’archives inédit, ce volume vise à offrir un éclairage historique et critique à cet événement, tantôt oblitéré, tantôt mythifié, part intégrante de la mémoire des échanges entre les deux pays.The Mataroa, a military vessel chartered by the French Institute at Athens in December 1945, enabled more than a hundred young Greeks to leave Greece, reaching first Taranto, Italy, and finally arriving in Paris. Leaving a country that was in ruins, deeply weakened by war and on the verge of civil war, they were thus welcomed in France, to pursue their studies and careers in fields as varied as philosophy, sculpture, architecture, music, etc. At the heart of this expedition was the director of the French Institute at Athens at that time, Octave Merlier, who made this operation, which looks like a modern epic, possible. Long overlooked, this trip is undoubtedly one of the most significant events in post-war Franco-Greek history. Based on unpublished archival material, this volume aims to shed historical and critical light on this event, sometimes obliterated, sometimes mythologized, but an integral part of the memory of the exchanges between the two countries

Mataroa, 1945 : le cadre historique
No full textCet article tente de reconstituer le voyage des étudiants-passagers du Mataroa, tout en traçant, en parallèle, les grandes lignes du cadre historique dans lequel a eu lieu le transfert des étudiants grecs vers la France, dans les premières années de l’après-guerre. Comme le révèle l’étude de sources nouvelles, le voyage qu’effectuèrent 124 étudiants à bord du navire néo-zélandais, en décembre 1945, en direction de l’Italie et à destination de Paris, fit partie d’une plus vaste opération de transfert d’étudiants vers les centres universitaires français. En raison des conditions difficiles qui régnaient en Europe dans les premières années de l’après-guerre, ce transfert collectif se fit dans des circonstances particulièrement éprouvantes. Afin d’offrir une image plus complète de l’expédition du Mataroa, il convient donc de la replacer dans le paysage plus large des migrations étudiantes de l’après-guerre

How Did I Get to Princess Margaret? (And How Did I Get Her to the World Wide Web?)
No full textThe paper explores the growing use of
tools from the arts and humanities for investigation
and dissemination of social science research.
Emerging spaces for knowledge transfer, such as
the World Wide Web, are explored as outlets for
"performative social science". Questions of ethnics
and questions of evaluation which emerge from
performative social science and the use of new
technologies are discussed. Contemporary thinking
in aesthetics is explored to answer questions
of evaluation. The use of the Internet for productions
is proposed as supporting the collective
elaboration of meaning supported by Relational
Aesthetics.
One solution to the ethical problem of performing
the narrations of others is the use of the writer's
own story as autoethnography. The author queries
autoethnography's tendency to tell "sad" stories and
proposes an amusing story, exemplified by "The
One about Princess Margaret" (see Appendix).
The conclusion is reached that the free and open
environment of the Internet sidelines the usual
tediousness of academic publishing and begins to
explore new answers to questions posed about
the evaluation and ethics of performative social
science
