Pour une identité narrative de Jésus (à suivre)
No full textIn order to overcome the dilemma between «the historical Jésus and the Christ of the faith», between the «historical identity» and the «dogmatic identity» of Jésus, the author suggests here the formulation of a «narrative identity» of Jésus. This third path towards an identification of Jésus («Whom do y ou say that I am ? ») is established on the basis of the phenomenology of narrative and the hermeneutics of identity through which philosophy, and hence dogmatic theology and reflexive Christology corne to agrée with the recent discoveries of narrative theology and literary exegesis. The first part of the article is devoted to the quest for this narrative identity ; the second part (which will be published in the next issue) is devoted to the invention of this narrative identity.Gesché Adolphe.

Active school of Adolphe Ferrière
No full textThe paper presents views of Adolphe Ferrière, a Swiss educator and psychologist and a Professor at the "Jean-Jacques Rousseau" Institute, about active school - one of the "new school" movements that emerged in the first half of 20th century as a countermove to traditional school founded on Herbartian conception of education. Condemning old school’s intellectualism and verbalism, active school turns towards a child, his nature, needs and interests, and declares activity, "child’s self-work", the basic principle of education. The paper points out Ferrière’s contributions to the transformation of "learning school" into "working and activity school". After presenting Ferrière’s criticism of traditional school as well as a number of "new school" movements, the author provides in more detail essential features of active school. Ferrière’s argumentation against attempts to identify active school with "handwork school" and against tendencies to make it equal with "active methods" is herein presented. Also, the author elaborates why Ferrière turns down the objection that active school neglects intellectual education and why he does not accept pragmatic qualifications of active school. Consideration is given to the demands of active school for teacher education i.e. characteristics that a "new school" teacher should possess as required by Ferrière
La création : cosmologie et anthropologie
No full textSince the 1960' s, theology has taken on a clearly anthropocentric character. The neglect of this décisive évolution is excluded : God is above ail the God of mon and for mon. In this article, the author pleads nonetheless for a revival of a theology of création, and especially its cosmological dimension. Infact, it is possible that the central concern of a theology oriented by an ethical préoccupation may be endangered by an excessive concentration on mon. Mon needs more thon himself as horizon and vis-à-vis. For this, he must rediscover in his God a God who is not the mère glorified reflection of himself but one who is the Lord of the universe. Furthermore, he needs a cosmos which is restituted as the place necessary to situate himself and to identify himself as in his own house. If in addition, one recognizes the renewed importance which the natural sciences and their project of a «new covenant» (Progogine and Stengers) hâve taken as well as the concern of Process Theology for a God involved with his création, the goal of the présent article to show why and how to develop a theology of cosmos shall be better understood.Gesché Adolphe.

'Within the Storm' poem
No full textAdolphe Danziger, a Jewish scholar, lawyer, and author, wrote this poem titled "Within the Storm" and dedicated it to President-elect Warren G. Harding. The poem describes an America broken from World War I, and portrays Harding as a hero who will lead the country to peace and prosperity.
This poem is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I

Adolphe Duponchel et la fertilisation des Landes de Gascogne
No full textInternational audienceKnown for his role in promoting the trans-Saharan railway project linking Algeria to Sudan under French rule, civil engineer Adolphe Duponchel published an ambitious plan in 1864 to fertilize the Landes de Gascogne region. The system devised by the author involved supplementing nature by reproducing on a large scale a vast erosion phenomenon in the Pyrenees, relying on the mobilization of enormous volumes of water, which both eroded the land and transported the considerable masses of sediment thus produced. These sediments, spread evenly over the entire area to be transformed, from the mouth of the Adour River to the tip of the Médoc, would be mixed with the Landes sand by plowing, thus forming new soil that was theoretically much more fertile than the original. Thus regenerated in less than a century (the time deemed necessary by the author to complete the spreading operation over nearly 1 million hectares!), this vast area—then in the midst of afforestation—would henceforth be called upon to feed a large population estimated by the author at “5 to 6 million souls.” Our paper therefore aims to contribute to the discovery of a utopian project that is currently largely unknown, characteristic of an era when scientific and technical progress led people to believe that Nature could be molded at will by Man (de Lesseps and the Suez and Panama Canals, etc.)Ingresado en la historia por su papel en la promoción del proyecto de ferrocarril transsahariano que unía Argelia con el Sudán bajo dominio francés, el ingeniero de puentes y carreteras Adolphe Duponchel publicó en 1864 un ambicioso plan de fertilización de las Landas de Gascuña. En el sistema imaginado por el autor, se trata de suplir a la Naturaleza reproduciendo a gran escala un vasto fenómeno de erosión del macizo pirenaico basado en la movilización de enormes volúmenes de agua, tanto factores de erosión como agentes transportadores de las considerables masas de sedimentos así producidos. Estos últimos, esparcidos regularmente sobre el conjunto del espacio que se va a transformar, desde la desembocadura del Adour hasta la punta del Médoc, serán mezclados por la labranza con las arenas de las Landas, formando así un nuevo suelo en teoría mucho más fértil que el original. Así regenerada en menos de un siglo (tiempo considerado necesario por el autor para completar la operación de esparcimiento sobre cerca de 1 millón de hectáreas), esta vasta zona -entonces en plena fase de forestación- estaría llamada a alimentar una importante población estimada por el autor de «5 a 6 millones de almas». Nuestra comunicación se propone, por tanto, participar en el descubrimiento de un proyecto utópico que en aquel momento era ampliamente desconocido, característico de una época en la que los progresos científicos y técnicos hacían creer en una Naturaleza modelable a voluntad por el hombre (de Lesseps y los canales de Suez y de Panamá, el proyecto del mar interior de Roudaire, etc.).Entré dans la postérité pour son rôle dans la promotion du projet de chemin de fer transsaharien reliant l’Algérie au Soudan sous domination française, l’ingénieur des Ponts et Chaussées Adolphe Duponchel publie en 1864 un ambitieux plan de fertilisation des Landes de Gascogne. Dans le système imaginé par l’auteur, il s’agit de se suppléer à la Nature en reproduisant à grande échelle un vaste phénomène d’érosion du massif pyrénéen reposant sur la mobilisation de formidables volumes en eau, à la fois facteurs d’érosion et agents de transport des masses considérables de sédiments ainsi produits. Ces derniers, épandus régulièrement sur l’ensemble de l’espace à transformer, de l’embouchure de l’Adour à la pointe du Médoc, seront mélangés par le labour aux sables landais, formant de la sorte un nouveau sol en théorie bien plus fertile que l’originel. Ainsi régénérée en moins d’un siècle (durée jugée nécessaire par l’auteur pour achever l’opération d’épandage sur près de 1 million d’hectares !), cette vaste zone - alors en pleine phase de boisement - serait appelée désormais à nourrir une importante population estimée par l’auteur de « 5 à 6 millions d’âmes ». Notre communication se propose donc de participer à la découverte d’un projet utopique à cette heure massivement méconnu, caractéristique d’une époque où les progrès scientifiques et techniques faisaient croire en une Nature modelable à souhait par l’Homme (de Lesseps et les canaux de Suez et de Panama, le projet de Mer intérieure de Roudaire, etc.)
