Historical and political preoccupations in "La nouvelle revue française" under the editorship of Jean Paulhan, 1925 to 1940
Full text linkWithin the range of literary reviews in Twentieth-Century
France, none has a more highly-esteemed reputation than la Nouvelle
Revue Francaise, originally founded in 1909 by Andre Gide and his
friends. Resuming in 1919 in a world profoundly shaken by the
upheaval and consequences of the First World War, the NRF,
at first under Jacques Riviere and then, from 1925 (for the rest
of the Inter-War period), under the editorial control of
Jean Paulhan, re-established itself at the forefront of literary
and critical creativity.
Informed by much of the unpublished correspondence of Paulhan,
this thesis shows that the NRF was not exclusively literary. An
examination of Paulhan's role, and of his editorial policy
(Chapter One) precedes the identification of a number of themes.
Already sensitive to topical questions, the NRF debated the role
and responsibilities of the intellectuals (Chapter Two), whose
attitudes tended to become more politicized as they grew more
aware of the deficiencies of the Third Republic (Chapter Three).
Their preoccupations reflected major themes, in particular
Franco-German relations (Chapter Four), Franco-Soviet relations
(Chapter Five), and the Jewish question (Chapter Six). Of course
the writers involved with the NRF continued to consider political
and international issues in the light of their own preferences
and prejudices.; yet their reactions and interpretations show that
they were ever-more conscious of the crucial, historical importance
of the period. Indeed its nature was such that History forced the
NRF, eventually, into adopting a partisan position which was
Antifascist, anti-Munich, and which even prefigured the Resistance
(Chapter Seven)
PITHIA-NRF The integration project for an advanced plasmasphere, ionosphere and thermosphere research environment
No full text<p>The PITHIA-NRF project "Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities" aims at building a European distributed network that integrates observations from space and ground, data processing tools and prediction models to facilitate scientific research of the Plasmasphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere system. PITHIA-NRF is designed to provide organised open access to experimental facilities and data, standardised data products, and training services. Participating organisations that operate these facilities, formed twelve nodes in eleven different countries in Europe. These nodes work for the optimisation of its observing facilities and offer trans-national access to scientists and engineers. In addition, an important part of the project is the e-Science Centre. Its structure and evolution follow a strict ontology which governs the collection of observations and models registered with the e-Science Centre. Several tens of observation and model collections have already been registered. FAIR principles and data quality management have played an important role for the registration process. Researchers agreed to implement a trans-national access project, have the possibility to discover data collections in the e-Science Centre, execute models and access the results and register new data collections for easy re-use. At the end of the project, a comprehensive collection of observations and models will have been gathered by the e-Science Centre for the benefit of efficient scientific research.</p>
