Anticipatory Testimonies: Environmental Disaster in Claudine Jacques's Fictional Prophecies
No full textIn Caledonian author Claudine Jacques's 2002 novel L'Âge du perroquet-banane, Parabole païenne , a tribal elder warns a man "from elsewhere": "in our country, if you remove a taboo bone, you disrupt the sea, if you touch it without respect you invite a cyclone, if you toss the bones of our elders you provoke a...tidal wave" (54). Although this work is set in a futuristic world after an ambiguous "Great Disaster" on an unnamed Oceanic island, the author manages to allegorically recount the history of the environmental atrocities attributed to the earth's human occupants that have transformed the present reality of the Oceanic region.
This essay considers Claudine Jacques's L'Âge du perroquet-banane, Parabole païenne , as well as her novel Nouméa Mangrove (2010), as anticipatory testimonies. Both works of fiction call into question the very real violations of environmental human rights facing the diverse ethnic communities of the sui generis collectivity of New Caledonia: nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean, pollution from the nickel mining industry, and the depletion of natural resources. This essay demonstrates how Jacques's works engage in environmentalism by bearing witness to and challenging environmental injustices in New Caledonia in particular, and on a broader scale, in the French-speaking Oceanic region

Le voyage du marchand Tan Hoe Lo à Paris (1889)
No full textClaudine Salmon
Tan Hoe Lo was a Peranakan merchant born in Batavia (about whom we know very little). He came to Paris in the company of a Dutch family (Mr. and Mrs. Zadelhof) to visit the Universal Exposition of 1889. He wrote several reportages in Malay, which were published in the local press of the Dutch Indies (both in Batavia and Surabaya). We provide here an annotated translation of his reportages, which are among some of the first of the kind to appear in Southeast Asia about Europe. They reveal an undeniable fascination for the topic of « modernity » and the author specifically lists a series of « technical advances » that needed to be transferred to Java. Tan Hoe Lo describes in detail several of the Exposition's pavilions, the Annamese theatre and rickshaws (which he took for «Siamese» ...), as well as his climb up the Eiffel Tower. In addition, he tells of his visit to Napoleon's tomb at the Invalides, as well as a trip to the Folies Bergère.Lombard-Salmon Claudine. Le voyage du marchand Tan Hoe Lo à Paris (1889).

Le travail de la mort
No full textIn this article, the author examines attitudes and practices concerning death and the dying, in the light of an analysis of the function of hospitals as an institution and of medical practice viewed as a process of producing death. She tries to show how death even though relegated to the hospital, remains nonetheless socialized. She also tries to pinpoint the first signs of a rebirth of the collective sensitivity to the problems of death and dying in contemporary society.Herzlich Claudine. Le travail de la mort. In: Annales.

Centenaire dans le bicentenaire 1891-1991 : Aulard et la transformation du cours en chaire d'histoire de la Révolution à la Sorbonne
No full textClaudine Wolikow : The Centenary within the Bicentenary : 1891-1991. Alphonse Aulard and the transformation of the course on the French Revolution at the Sorbonne into a special chair of revolutionary history.
This study traces the successive stages in the development of a man, Alphonse Aulard and of the professorship of French revolutionary history at the Sorbonne. The author describes Alphonse Aulard's career from the time of his doctoral thesis on Leopardi to the publication of the orators of the Revolution as he became an uncontested master in university teaching and scolarship in the revolutionary field. The major steps in his career as a scholar are evoked as is his militancy as a republican publicist. A whole historical context is examined here as the author studies the various aspects of his activity : the university (the reactions of the Sorbonne), the ideology of the time (Auguste Comte's positivism), politics (the part played by the Paris mayoralty and various governmental offices) between 1884 and 1891, at a time when the history of the French Revolution became an official part of education within the French Republic.Claudine Wolikow : Centenaire dans le bicentenaire : 1891-1991. Aulard et la transformation du cours en chaire d'histoire de la Révolution française à la Sorbonne.
Cette étude retrace les étapes du cheminement d'un homme — Alphonse Aulard et d'une institution — l'enseignement de l'histoire de la Révolution française à la Sorbonne. D'une thèse de lettres sur Leopardi, à la publication des orateurs de la Révolution, pour aboutir à une maîtrise incontestée sur l'enseignement universitaire et la recherche dans le domaine de la Révolution, on suit les moments de la carrière d'Aulard, les formes de son engagement comme publiciste républicain autant que comme érudit. Mais c'est tout un contexte qui est évoqué, dans ses aspects universitaires (les réactions de la Sorbonne), idéologiques (le comtisme) et politiques (le rôle de la mairie de Paris et des instances gouvernementales), au fil de ces années, de 1884 à 91, où l'histoire de la Révolution française s'est imposée comme une pièce officielle de l'enseignement de la République.Wolikow Claudine.

Claudine after Willy : reminiscence and persistance of youth texts in Colette's works
No full textColette s’est bien souvent montrée critique face à ses premiers écrits, qui ont pourtant signé son entrée en littérature. Il semble donc légitime de s’interroger sur la manière dont l’œuvre de jeunesse, irrigue, par divers biais, les écrits de Colette, sur les causes et les visées profondes de cette présence, et enfin sur l’influence profonde de ces textes sur la structure du récit colettien, rendant sa classification générique difficile. Dans un premier temps, la reprise du prénom « Claudine » dans La Maison de Claudine suggère une réminiscence de l’œuvre de jeunesse, puisque l’écrivain met à distance, mais aussi reprend et développe les motifs des Claudine, comme pour réintégrer pleinement le cycle qui a marqué son entrée en littérature à l’œuvre. Le lien entre les écrits de jeunesse et le reste de l’œuvre dépasse pourtant cette référence, et on peut s’interroger sur la manière dont la genèse de Claudine a constitué la condition de toute écriture ultérieure, autobiographique dans un premier temps, mais également fictionnelle, puisque l’œuvre de l’auteur semble bâtie sur l’incessant dialogue entre l’inévitable dette envers Willy, et la nécessité de dépasser un modèle artistiquement stérile. Enfin, ce dialogue permet de percevoir, tout au long de l’œuvre de Colette, une série de tensions et de paradoxes, qui nourrissent l’écriture parce qu’elles encouragent la mise en question du projet artistique de l’auteur, qui propose une écriture plurielle, aplanissant les catégories génériques au profit de la voix qui porte le récit, faisant de la construction et de la mise en scène d’une figure d’écrivain l’enjeu artistique majeur de l’œuvre de Colette.Colette very often proved to be critical facing her first writings, which however signed her entrance in litterature. It seems therefore evidence based to wonder how youth work has influenced Colette’s writings, and how her first texts have deeply influenced the structure of her stories, making difficult the classification of these texts. At first, the resumption of forename « Claudine » in La Maison de Claudine suggests a reminiscence of youth work, since the writer put away, and also takes back and develops several themes of Claudine, as if she wanted to reintegrate to her project the cycle which marked her beginning in litterature. The link between her first novels and the rest of her works exceeds this reference. So we could wonder why the creation of Claudine is the condition of all her following writings, autobiographic at first, but also fictional, because her texts seems to be built on uninterrupted dialogue between an unavoidable debt towards Willy, and the necessity to surpass a fruitless model. Finally, this dialogue allows to receive, throughout Colette’s work, a series of tensions and paradoxes, which feeds the appraising of the artistic plan of the author, who offers a plural writing, smoothing the generic categories to the advantage of the voice which carries the story, making of the building of writer’s representation the major artistic stake of Colette’s work
