Anti-Anarchist Legislation And The Road To The 1919 Red Hysteria, Evan Crumb

College Honors Program

In my thesis, I connect anti-anarchist legislation from the early 1900s with the excesses of the 1919 Red Scare. I tie the actions of anarchist leaders Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman to legislative responses, which were then weaponized after the hysteria of the Russian Revolution culminating in the deportations of 249 Russian “radicals” on the Soviet Ark. I find that the Supreme Court’s legal interpretation of the 1903 Immigration Act’s anti-anarchist provision in Turner v. Williams (1904), and the 1902 Criminal Anarchy Act in Gitlow v. New York (1925) were rational—understandable—within their legal and social context.

My legal history bridges …

La Distribution En France Des Films D'Afrique Sud Saharienne Francophone, Patricia Caillé, Claude Forest

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Since the first such productions of the post-independence era, films directed by African filmmakers from former sub-Saharan French colonies have enjoyed very limited broadcast in theatres in France. Indeed, with very few exceptions, they have hardly been seen by French audiences at all. The image of the "festival film" - a label they were assigned - has had a significant negative impact, reinforcing their status as niche films reserved exclusively for film buffs. The few film titles that come up over and over again have led critics astray, restricting their view of this cinema to the places and stories portrayed …

La Diffusion Des Films Tunisiens Postrévolutionnaires, Emna Mrabet

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

After a long period of stagnation, Tunisian cinema is experiencing a new boom today. The postrevolutionary era is thus marked by an artistic proliferation which is reflected through a multiplication of cinematographic achievements. We witness a diversification of styles and aesthetics and the advent of trends that dare to question society on its taboos and the barriers it poses to the development of the individual. These new productions are often awarded prizes in international festivals and are supported by an essential event: The Carthage Film Festival. In light of these considerations, it is necessary in this article to observe in …

Watch Me If You Can! Un Cinéma Algérien En Quête De Diffusion Et De Réception, Salima Tenfiche

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

After a civil war that left more than 200 000 dead in Algeria in the 1990s, the return to peace in 2003 and the rise in the price of oil allowed Algerian cinema to return to the international scene. The state has invested several billion Algerian dinars since 2005 to revive film production and start renovating the country's four hundred movie theaters that had been abandoned since the late 1980s. Today, fifty-three movie theaters are functional throughout Algeria, yet they do not open their doors to the public. These movie theaters are still perceived as shady places, and they struggle …

Le Cinéma Au Village : Les Beaux Jours Du Cinéma Ambulant Dans Les Années 1950, Odile Goerg

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Travelling by cart, but more often by train and later by automobile, films reached small towns and large villages alike. Travelling pictures were the first - and often the only - means of access to cinema for much of the African continent. They made it possible to reach the countryside, albeit randomly and sporadically.

To analyse the development of travelling pictures during the late colonial period, this article emphasises commercial, for-profit ventures rather than official, government-sponsored tours playing educational and propaganda films - though the line between the two was often blurred. Whether they functioned autonomously or were tied to …

« Made In Rdc ». Nouvelles Productions Filmiques Et Distributions Locales, Silvia Riva

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Compared to other African countries and despite the potential size of its audience, until the beginning of the new millennium, Congo DRC seemed to be lagging behind in its local film production. Guido Convents' work on Congolese cinema from the earliest times to the present shows a portrait of cinematography around the Congo, which takes into account cinema "for Congolese, by Congolese or with Congolese actors" for lack of an indigenous productive centrality, if not limited to feature films directed by Mwezé Ngangura and recognized authors of the diaspora (Balufu Bakupa Kanyinda, among others). With the success of the feature …

Les Festivals Des Minorités En Europe, Une Passerelle Vers Le Mena, Émilie Wacogne

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

We observe a proliferation of film festivals dedicated to Maghrebian and African cinemas in Europe. Several festivals include movies by directors from the Maghreb, the Near and Middle East, and Africa, as well as films by European filmmakers, descendants of immigrant parents. This phenomenon reflects the need for a visibility that continues to be lacking in European societies. It also shows the long process by which these guest workers settle in some European countries. We will mention the FameckArab Film Festival, the Arab Film Festival in Brussels and the Aflam Festival in Marseille. The link between the presence of festivals, …

Song: The Emotional Storyteller In The Tales Of Edgar Allan Poe, Sadie O'Conor

The Criterion

Edgar Allan Poe argues in his Marginalia column that “indefiniteness is an element … of the true musical expression.” Music is a powerful device for expression because of its intangible yet deeply rooted connection to human emotion; it captures ideas that cannot always be put into words. In a similar way, we can never truly “hear” music if it is only described on a page. Poe used this phenomenon on a literary level to illustrate a character’s deep, almost indescribable longing for something that they would rarely reveal to the other people in their stories. The references to instrumental music …

D'Une Violence L'Autre. Scénographie Des Rapports De Hiérarchie Et De Domination Dans La Préférence Nationale De Fatou Diome, Olga Hel-Bongo

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Figures of vulnerability abound in contemporary francophone novels. Be it children soldiers, Black women in Monenembo and Kourouma's fictions, abused children or prostitution in Marie NDiaye, Fiston Mwanza and Fatou Diome's novels, the vulnerable subject, far from undergoing torments of a decadent and miserable life due to a situation of lack, often shows or hides a strength that often sharpens on contact with violence. Fatou Diome uses silence and writing to express the character's resistance to violence. For instance, the feminine subject sets up barriers around the self to counter the adversity of a world often depicted as intolerant, undifferentiated …

Entrelacement Des Récits Et Déchirure Sociale Dans Trois Femmes Puissantes De Marie Ndiaye, Clémentine Mansiantima

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Trois femmes puissantes (Three strong women) tells the stories of three women struggling with their own destinies. The novel contains three stories of romantic relationships, of families and of immigration. Even if, from a social or professional standpoint, these women do not have the same status, they all have within them a strength allowing them to free themselves from their respective situations of oppression. This study aims to illustrate that the human condition is at the centre of each story, connected one another by a recurring theme: the inner strength motivating each woman. Through an introspective writing, Marie NDiaye questions …

Maryse Condé Devant Les Événments Africains Troublants: Entre Représentation Et Discours, Mouhamadou Cissé

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The repressed school strike in Guinea Conakry in 1961, the post-apartheid social crisis in South Africa and the 2002 civil war in Côte d'Ivoire are major events in African history that drew Maryse Condé's attention as illustrated through Heremakhonon (1976), Histoire de la femme cannibale (2003), En attendant la montée des eaux (2010). This article analyzes, beyond the modes of representation of events, the critical discourses that emerged from social fictions in examining murderous ideologies, the overflow of political, racial, ethnic identities as well as the obsessions of power that are at the origin of imagined conflicts. It explores how …

La Dynamique D'Un Engagement « Poélitique » : Le Cas Du Théâtre De Maryse Condé, Edwige Gbouablé

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Maryse Condé's plays reveal both a scriptural and thematic dynamism. This movement manifests a commitment that renews itself through the dramatization of varied sociopolitical current events. The first plays of the Guadeloupean showcase slavery, colonization and Independence. The problematic of the future of Black peoples flowing from them resounds differently in her recent works. Maryse Condé complexifies it indeed and updates it constantly. This makes her an unconventional author, for her writing takes roots in negritude, partakes in post-negritude and proceeds equally from a dramaturgy of uprootedness.

Le Docteur Et La Sorcière : Conflits De Médecine Et Concurrence Des Traditions Dans Moi, Tituba, Sorcière ... Noire De Salem, Natacha D'Orlando

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article focuses on Maryse Condé's depiction of medicine and science in her 1986 novel Mai, Tituba, sorcière. It argues that Tituba's critique of modern western medicine, as well as her definition of witchcraft as a healing art, resonate with some topical feminist issues around the time of its publication. Condé's rewriting of the Salem witchtrials emphasizes indeed the epistemological, as well as metaphysical, conflict between the female Caribbean healer and the male doctor whose diagnoses contribute to Tituba's condemnation. As Tituba's confidence in her power and knowledge grows, she also impersonates the danger of an arrogant science, forgoing Man …
