A Preliminary Volume In Progress: Interférences Linguistiques Et Culturelles Françaises En Afrique (French Linguistic And Cultural Interferences In Africa), Flavia Aiello, Maria Centrella, Anna Maria Di Tolla, Sarah N. Pinto Jan 2026

A Preliminary Volume In Progress: Interférences Linguistiques Et Culturelles Françaises En Afrique (French Linguistic And Cultural Interferences In Africa), Flavia Aiello, Maria Centrella, Anna Maria Di Tolla, Sarah N. Pinto

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Drawn from the International Study Days held at the University of Naples L’Orientale (11–13 November 2021), Interférences linguistiques et culturelles françaises en Afrique brings together contributions that examine French in contact with African languages and cultures, from the Maghreb to Sub-Saharan Africa. Rather than offering a simple assessment of the “vitality” of French, the volume foregrounds interference phenomena and everyday practices (code-switching, lexical borrowing, and lexical innovation), alongside social representations and educational and media-related stakes. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary perspective on multilingual dynamics and processes of appropriation at the heart of contemporary African societies.

The Development Of Soft Skills In Teaching Practices (Case Study: Teaching French As A Foreign Language), Oumaïma Hantat, Malika Rafiq

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Most research define soft skills, as opposed to technical skills. In fact, they are generally related to social, personal, professional and communication aspects. From the outset, the transversal dimension of these skills is important. In this sense, extrapolating these competencies to the educational field - especially in foreign language teaching - is necessary to make the actional perspective work. This article treats the integration and development of soft skills in a pedagogical context. Indeed, this study focuses more specifically on the integration and developmental methods of these skills in the approaches adopted by teachers of French as a foreign language …

Travel Writing: A Characteristic Intercultural Modality In Laurent Gaudé'S Novel Eldorado, Allal Boumalik, Salma Afifi

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

In this article, we will try to work on the intercultural identity that characterizes the two main characters in the novel Eldorado by Laurent Gaudé, a contemporary French writer. In this polyphonic text, two narrative voices take turns to oppose two different points of view of the illegal immigration that has grown in the last decades. Gaudé cries out, through this novel, for human injustice and for the fate of immigrants who arm themselves with an armful of utopian dreams to reach El Dorado. In Eldorado, Laurent Gaudé invites his readers to be vigilant in order to follow the thread …

Land Use And Sovereignty Along The Catawba River, Thomas C. Brugh, Lucile C. Rencher Jan 2026

Land Use And Sovereignty Along The Catawba River, Thomas C. Brugh, Lucile C. Rencher

Student Scholarship

This document-based case study explains how land-use change along the Catawba River Corridor (Lancaster and York Counties, South Carolina) has been produced through the interaction of property rights (dominium) and rule-setting authority (imperium), showing why sovereignty continues to shape development even after land disputes appear “settled.” Through analyzing legal records (Treaty of Nation Ford, the 1959 Catawba Division of Assets Act, the 1986 Supreme Court timing decision, and the 1993 Settlement Act), planning documents, parcel records, and field observations, we trace how shifting jurisdiction and title certainty structured what kinds of land uses were possible and when. We argue that …


Atlanta '96: The Games And The South, Beau Bowden Jan 2026

Atlanta '96: The Games And The South, Beau Bowden

ETDs from 2020-2029

The Centennial Olympiad, hosted by Atlanta, Georgia, in 1996, demonstrated key principles of the postsouthern mindset, a movement typically associated with literary criticism that, if applied to historiographic methods, offers valuable insights into how Atlantans confronted competing identities of being a modern international city hailed as the Black Mecca, and a city forever linked to the Lost Cause, Ku Klux Klan, and racial inequality. During the Opening Ceremonies, specifically, Olympic organizers curated a celebration touting the city’s and region’s multiculturalism and corporate might, as described by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympics (ACOG), the body responsible for organizing the games, …

Reagan, Bush, Gorbachev, And The End Of The Cold War, Joshua Caleb Teasley Jan 2026

Reagan, Bush, Gorbachev, And The End Of The Cold War, Joshua Caleb Teasley

ETDs from 2020-2029

This work addresses key questions relating to the end of the Cold War. Contemporary wisdom suggests that Ronald Reagan’s policies beat the Soviet Union into submission, but this is not the case. Reagan’s initial policies were antagonistic towards the Soviet Union and his devotion to SDI later harmed his ability to establish relations with Michail Gorbachev later on. This thesis argues that it was George H.W. Bush, rather than Reagan, who was the more influential and effective President when dealing with the Soviet Union. Bush’s diplomacy was less idealized and more realistic than Reagan’s. Additionally, Bush was able to successfully …


Hie 337 Modern Russian History, Rhiannon L. Dowling Jan 2026

Hie 337 Modern Russian History, Rhiannon L. Dowling

Open Educational Resources

The 19th and 20th centuries in Russia were a time of unprecedented creation and destruction. During this period the Russian Empire—arguably the most politically backward nation in Europe—transformed into the Soviet Union—the most radical modern political experiment in history. The life of the Soviet Union is itself bookended by the two most unlikely and unexpected moments in world history: the Russian Revolution at one end, and the collapse of the Soviet empire on the other. And decades after the Soviet Union’s collapse, experts are still debating what finally precipitated the sudden death of an empire that seemed for …
