Mai '68: Une Revolution Culturelle, Laura Sharpe
Mai '68: Une Revolution Culturelle, Laura Sharpe
Senior Honors Projects
Dans ce mémoire, j’expliquerai Mai 1968 en France et ses conséquences dans la société en parlant des événements qui ont eu lieu avant, pendant et après. D’abord je parlerai de la guerre d’Algérie et comment elle a ouvert la voie aux démonstrations et aux syndicats en mai 68. Deuxièmement, je montrerai comment la guerre du Vietnam était très importante dans le développement du mouvement et des syndicats d’étudiants. Ensuite, je me lancerai dans les grands développements sur la chronologie des événements du mouvement. Il est très important de noter tout ce qui se passait à propos du mouvement en France …
In Search Of The Anglophone Doctor In Jacques Ferron’S Story “Le Petit William”, Vivian C. Mcalister, Christiane I. Mcalister
In Search Of The Anglophone Doctor In Jacques Ferron’S Story “Le Petit William”, Vivian C. Mcalister, Christiane I. Mcalister
Surgery Publications
The story of ‘Le Petit William’ (Contes anglais, 1964) is based on Ferron’s experiences as a general practitioner in the Gaspé in 1946. A medical event, use of the maternal left lateral position by a sage-femme to deliver a baby boy, becomes allegory. The sage-femme had learned the technique from a visiting Anglophone doctor. A simple joke, which superficially appears to be the story’s culmination, takes on a sombre political tone when considered in the light of the Latin epigraph. Trips to the Gaspé, a review of the history of obstetrics and speculation are used in this paper to understand …

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
Teaching about the Middle Ages in French culture or literature courses is always an enlightening experience to me because of the richness of symbols, events, and starting points occurring during this time period. Very often, when thinking about the Middle Ages, Christianity, chivalry, and nobility come to mind, all values still of high importance in contemporary Western societies. However, medieval culture presents itself with an array of other behaviors and values, some of which may today be considered as offensive and even sometimes “alienating”: primitive, barbaric, or even animalistic forms of behavior.

Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics - All Scholarship
This essay examines the role of Rétif's writings in the development of the concept of erotic fetishism and in the formation of the French literary canon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rétif explored foot and shoe fetishisms more than a century before the phenomena were medically recognized, anticipating the modern psychosexual use of the term fetishism and making important contributions to the invention of the theoretical concept. Rétif's works were accorded a privileged place in early pathologies of fetishism, which provoked a series of polemics among German and French medical doctors and literary scholars centered …

[First Paragraph] In his famous interview with the American journalist Robert H. Sherard in 1894, Jules Verne, nearing the end of his life, regretted not being able to see America one last time. "I should have liked to have gone to Chicago this year," he lamented, "but in the state of my health [...] it was quite impossible. I do so love America and the American," he continued, "As you are writing for America, be sure to tell them that if they love me- as I know they do, for I receive thousands of letters every year from the States- …

Beur Travel Writing: Tassadit Imache’S Algerie, Monika Siebert
English Faculty Publications
The particular cultural positioning described as the beur predicament and often summed up in the phrase “belonging neither here nor there,” is clearly a result of French colonial history. As such, it hardly refers to subjects able or willing to assume the vantage point of the classic European travel narrative or to employ its poetics. Beurs are children of North African immigrants (primarily from Algeria, but also Morocco and Tunisia) who arrived in France after the Second World War to work in the developing auto industries. While entitled to French citizenship (born in pre-independence Algeria, their parents are French subjects), …

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
Qu’est-ce qu'un roman comme Histoire d' Ernestine, mineur même dans l'œuvre de Marie Riccoboni, peut-il bien nous apprendre sur l'anagnorisis aristotélicienne? Après tout, une histoire d 'amour qui se conclut par un mariage entre un riche aristocrate et une jeune orpheline au revenus modestes et d'une honnêteté indiscutable ne défraye pas la chroniq ue de l'univers romanesque du dix-huitième siècle. Deux mots pour apporter un début de réponse: ignorance et noblesse, deux mots étymologiquement liés au morphème grec 'gno' qui signifie savoir, connaissance, morphème que nous retrouvons bien sur dans anagnorisis. Histoire d' Ernestine est le récit …

This presentation stems from the debate on the quality of the African novel each time an African work — here the novel — is awarded a literary prize. This has been the case since René Maran’s Batouala and until recently with Calixthe Beyala’s Les honneurs perdus (1996). The paper examines discursive elements both constant and new foregrounded at each period of the debate. There are two competing theories at the heart of the discussion that are trying to neutralize each other. On the one hand, there is the entrenched belief of the African continent still in need of epistemological assistance. …
