The article explores the interactions and public perceptions of Pierre Loti and Edmond Rostand, focusing on their social engagements, literary contributions, and the reception of their works. It delves into their unique relationship, particularly during their time in the Basque Country, and analyzes the media portrayal of these two iconic figures, highlighting instances of ridicule and infantilization in press coverage.

This paper offers a study of the way Soviet authorities' discourses on music were received in France. The post-war period is very interesting in many aspects. The political landscape changed following Zhdanov and Stalin's deaths, and two decrees regarding music production were published in 1948 and 1958. The press bulletins of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the journalistic and intellectual production with scholarly pretensions of the PCF inform us about the reception of Soviet music in the French public space. We understand the evolution of censorship in the USSR thanks to the discourse in France about the professional Soviet musician and about the Soviet opera. Since censorship in the USSR was not always controlled, it is appropriate to question the role of Soviet and French communist intellectuals. As such, we study socialist realism in music, but also the conflicts that the enforcement of such ideological principles produces. Moreover, although French sympathizers covered Soviet musical news extensively, we observe divergences of opinion resulting from the diversity of the editorial frameworks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The stories of patients [1] appear in the international scientific press, whether produced by doctors themselves affected by the disease, directly by patients, or transcribed by journalists, anthropologists or sociologists. This moving account, delivered without commentary, segmented and barely reconfigured for editorial reasons, is a diary confided by Jean-Paul Chanel, written in 2016, about his experience of being visually impaired. As Aimé Césaire pleaded for Négritude, the strength of being a black writer, the Deaf during the "Deaf Awakening" spoke of Surditude, Jean-Paul Chanel leads us towards his Blindness [2].

An interview with Benoît Prot, a former press professional turned newspaper collector, is presented. He discussed his extensive experience in the press industry, from creating school newspapers to managing renowned publications like Okapi and L'Étudiant. He described the challenges and joy of collecting, detailing the sources of acquisition, including auctions and old paper fairs.

In 1957, Japan launched its first experimental nuclear reactor, the JRR-1, in Tōkaimura (Ibaraki). The bedrock of the Japanese nuclear industry, it introduced the famed BWR technology--also used in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant--and the training of the future workers of a flourishing industry. Based on the premise that the Fukushima accident was in part caused by the nuclear village--a system created with the commissioning of JRR-1 reactor in Tōkaimura--this paper analyses how the national newspapers covered the launch of the first Japanese reactor, and how the remaining media records suggest that the Fukushima nuclear accident falls within the continuity of earlier policies.

The information drawn is a tool for understanding the editorial line of an organ. It certainly meets the need for illustration, but also and above all to relax the reader and help him understand the news. In any case, the example of the satirical weekly Gbich! Magazine in Ivory Coast, even in Africa, deserves to be noted. Indeed, the newspaper easily manages to get many messages through humor to its readers. So every week, the newspaper publishes short comics pinning the tricks of this Ivorian society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In times of conflict, photography acquires an increased role in the treatment of news by the daily press. While being a medium of information, it can convey other functions of argumentative, demonstrative and emotional nature the press uses to influence its public. This study aims to show that in times of conflict or crisis, the images that tell the story have an impact on the awareness of the masses, as they are constantly exposed to the risk of manipulation. We will try to highlight the factors involved in the presentation of the event and the way in which photography is influenced, focusing on the analysis of two strategies inherent to wartime communication, manipulation and legitimacy of the intervention. The conflict we are referring to is that of Kosovo, whose international media coverage was significant, spread considerably over time, photographed and commented on daily by the Albanian and French media. Our study is descriptive and analytical. What aspects and what discursive strategies do influence the audience? The image, is it a witness or a manipulator? These are some of the questions we will address by exploiting the photos of the French newspapers "Le Monde" and "Le Figaro" for the period from January to June 1999. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article takes a first look at Jules-Paul Tardivel's ultramontane network at two points in its history: the years 1884-1886 and 1889-1891. This exploration was conducted from an analysis of letters exchanged between Tardivel and his colleagues and his personal diary. It shows an evolution in the constitution of the ultramontane network of the last quarter of the 19th century. The analysis also makes it possible to measure the network's influence and support in the construction of La Vérité, the Tardivel-led ultramontane combat journal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to present how the press can be a useful resource in french lessons. The goal is to demonstrate that newspapers' articles can be a great tool for teaching and what are their advantages. This extract is in two parts, the first one explains what the press can bring to courses of french for foreigners and the second proposes ideas and leads for how to exploit the press.

This article deals with women stunt reporters--French journalists Maryse Choisy, Marise Querlin, and Odette Pannetier--who chose to investigate under cover in the 1930s. Using various disguises, they made investigations into brothels, tricked their way into politicians' home, and performed interviews under fake identities. Undercover reporting compensated for their difficulties in asserting themselves in a press created by and for men. It gave them a way to compete with male colleagues who were famous for sensational reportage all over the world. By focusing on such episodes, this article brings to light three heretofore unexplored facets of the history of the French press: immersion investigation, the history of women journalists, and the poetics of the 1930s press.

During the nineteenth century, not only did the extraordinary development of the printed press transform the cultural environment, but it also brought about major formal changes in literature. This article explores these trasnformations through a focus on the contemporary use of the concept of "modernity." The word dates back to 1688 at least, but it was mostly employed during the nineteenth century to describe post-revolutionary France and especially to criticize its consumerism and materialistic "bourgeoisie." Nineteenth-century media culture embodied the triumph of "modernity," especially in the form of the petite presse ("small press"). Born in a world where censorship still compromised the freedom of speech, the petite presse was an illustrated, satirical, ironical, and wisecracking medium. It aspired to a generalized non-seriousness which would, for a long time, be viewed as the "Parisian spirit". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the circulation of francophone news, information, and literary content between Western Europe and North America in the nineteenth century. During this period, big metropolitan cities (Paris, Brussels, Montreal, New Orleans) were forming a dense media network. For the western Atlantic region, New York City and the Courrier des États-Unis (1828-1938) served as the hub of this network. Francophone readers on both sides of the Atlantic shared a large common corpus, including works such as Eugène Sue's Mystères de Paris (1842-1843), which was distributed in North America by the literary supplement of the Courrier. By providing a general overview of this French-speaking network, this article invites scholars to explore how texts, and literature in particular, operated through an interlinked dynamic system of publication rather than as independent unconnected works.

The Familia review was a cultural institution founded by Iosif Vulcan (1841-1907) in 1865 in Pest (the headquarters were relocated to Oradea in 1880), and its stated mission was to spread the Romanian culture in Hungary and in Transylvania, and also to cultivate the national language and raise national awareness. It was the most important Romanian magazine in Hungary during the second half of the 19th century and it quickly became a beacon for the whole of Romanian literature, an emblem of the national cultural identity. Central to its fame was the fact that it published the debut piece of Mihai Eminescu, the poem De-aş avea (If I had). Also at the initiative of Iosif Vulcan and of the Familia, the year 1870 saw the establishment, in the capital of Hungary, of the Society for the Creation of a Romanian Theatrical Fund for Transylvania which, alongside the ASTRA (The Transylvanian Association for Romanian Literature and for the Culture of the Romanian People, 1861), became the main promoter of the artistic and cultural education of the Romanians in Transylvania and Hungary.

Résumé Objectif À la frontière de l’histoire des idées et de l’histoire de la psychiatrie, cet article étudie la genèse de ce qu’on appellera plus tard l’anti-aliénisme ou l’antipsychiatrie au xix e siècle. La présente étude cherche à déterminer comment se déroule cette période de perturbation dans la profession à l’intérieur même des asiles en prenant comme point de départ le point de vue des patients, les aliénés eux-mêmes. Méthode Le corpus s’appuie, pour ce faire, sur deux revues françaises à tendance anti-aliéniste entièrement éditées et rédigées par les aliénés des asiles de Bicêtre et de Charenton : L’Anti-Aliéniste et Le Glaneur de Madopolis . Suivant le corpus donné, l’article est divisé en deux parties distinctes, consacrées à chacun des journaux. La première se penche sur le journal des aliénés de Bicêtre, L’Anti-Aliéniste , dont cinq numéros, au moins, paraîtront entre le 1 er avril et le 1 er août 1893. La seconde partie est consacrée au journal des aliénés de Charenton, Le Glaneur de Madopolis , dont la mémoire ne subsiste que par les travaux de l’obscur aliéniste Henri Sentoux (1835–1880). Résultats La première partie, consacrée au journal des aliénés de Bicêtre, L’Anti-Aliéniste montre comment, malgré l’abrogation (non officielle) de la loi de 1838 qui survient au cours de la Troisième République, le sentiment anti-aliéniste, qui fait écho à celui de Léon Gambetta et Joseph Magnin, persiste chez les aliénés. Quant au journal des aliénés de Charenton, Le Glaneur de Madopolis , publié pendant la seconde moitié des années 1860, il nous plonge au cœur de la polémique anti-aliéniste qui a cours à l’époque en France. Discussion Les propos des principaux acteurs de ce charentonesque débat anti-aliéniste, qui des journalistes (Georges Maillard, Louis Jourdan et Gustave Isambert), qui des aliénistes (Henri Sentoux), qui des aliénés (les rédacteurs du Glaneur ), sont ainsi mis de l’avant de façon à illustrer comment le débat dépasse largement le cadre du politique et de l’institution asilaire. Conclusion La réhabilitation de la médecine aliéniste par l’intermédiaire de ceux qui en bénéficient, les aliénés, est certes originale et remarquable. Mais elle génère quelques objections. Citons parmi celles-ci la critique adressée à Sentoux qui repose sur le fait que les extraits qu’il a recueillis ne sont peut-être pas représentatifs de l’ensemble du journal et que les parties les plus dérangeantes pour la profession, les plus ironiques peut-être, ont été laissées de côté. Consciemment ou inconsciemment. Qu’à cela ne tienne, on sent bien qu’une autre question intéresse Sentoux en celle des qualités intrinsèques du Glaneur de Madopolis , qu’il développera peu après dans sa thèse, De la surexcitation des facultés intellectuelles dans la folie . Le journal a tout à voir en effet avec la petite histoire de la folie et du génie en littérature. Objective Where history of ideas and history of psychiatry meet, this article studies the genesis of what we now call anti-alienism or antipsychiatry in the nineteenth century. The study aims to determine how this period of disruption takes place within the profession, particularly in the asylum itself, from the patient's perspective, i.e. the lunatics themselves, as a starting point. Method To do so, the corpus is based on two journals, anti-alienists-inclined, written entirely by lunatics of the Bicêtre and Charenton asylums: L’Anti-Aliéniste [ The Anti-Alienist ] and Le Glaneur de Madopolis [ The Gleaner of Madopolis ]. The text is organized according to that corpus, in effect, marginal in regards to the issue of anti-alienism in France at the end of the nineteenth century. As determined by the corpus, the paper is divided in two separate parts, dedicated to each of the newspapers. The introduction details the whys and wherefores of the implementation of the Law of 30th June 1838 for the insane, which aims to frame the internment of the insane into lunatic asylums, what has thus become, for the supporters of what we will call anti-alienism or antipsychiatry, mentally retarded and disposed of their civic rights. In response to this new status for the insane, various anti-alienist movements emerged here and there at the turn of the second and third Republics, which include the insane. Chapter 1 looks at one of these movements, rooted in worlds of turmoil, namely in a lunatic asylum, Bicêtre. The propaganda organ of the movement being an unusual newspaper published by and for the insane in the middle of the enemy camp, rightly entitled L’Anti-Aliéniste [ The Anti-Alienist ], the struggle is lyric, the cantilena, epic. The second part of the article is dedicated to the lunatic related newspaper from Charenton, Le Glaneur de Madopolis [ The Gleaner of Madopolis ], whose memory is kept alive through research of the unknown and obscure alienist Henri Sentoux (1835–1880). Published during the second half of the 1860s, the newspaper brings us directly into the anti-alienist controversy prevailing in France at the time. Results The publication of the newspaper L’Anti-Aliéniste in 1893 is instructive in terms of how the anti-alienist opinion (which echoes the opinion voiced by Léon Gambetta and Joseph Magnin), despite the (non-official) repeal of the Law of 1838 that occurred during the third Republic, still exists among lunatics. For Sentoux, on the basis of Le Glaneur de Madopolis , the stereotypical view of the mad left to vegetate , wandering the grim corridors or the padded cell, depending on their state, of a deteriorating institution, is not true. It is unworthy and unacceptable; for both alienists and lunatics. They are much brighter. Although this may seem paradoxical, their imagination is fertile. Their intelligence is reflected in their productions that are, as Sentoux mentioned on a few occasions, far superior than those provided by several journalists. Discussion Five issues of the journal L’Anti-Aliéniste , at least, appeared between April 1st and August 1st, 1893. Alienists and the insane are subscribers. Apparently, everyone had an opinion about this blistering attack. The New York Times, publishing a box from the London Daily News , even wrote a few words on the subject. With the aim of encouraging revolt against current authority, the editorial staff of L’Anti-Aliéniste is abundantly patriotic. There must be an unconditional halt to this diabolical confinement, an actual machine to detain and exclude disturbing individuals from society. With Le Glaneur de Madopolis , the matter we are addressing begins with the vehement criticism from a Figaro journalist, Georges Maillard, who, after a very impressive Charenton concert, is taking from this “special” science of alienism, physicians who practise it, and informal settlements where we warehouse and “treat” mentally ill people. The retort will come quickly, Sentoux promptly replying. In response to Maillard, Sentoux, then a Charenton intern, springs to the defence of the profession to which he aspired to and in 1867 publishes a booklet entitled Figaro et Charenton. Les fous journalistes et les journalistes fous. Littérature comparée [ Figaro and Charenton. The mad journalists and the journalists mad. Comparative literature ]. If Maillard is the first to be targeted, the entire journalistic profession is to blame. Now is the time to combat preconceived notions against an asylum system (Sentoux's brainchild) from all sides. Sentoux's defence is simple; it demonstrates that madness should not be judged on appearances. They are sometimes misleading. The evidence relied against Maillard was taken from the mythical newspaper of the Charenton lunatics, Le Glaneur de Madopolis [ The Gleaner of Madopolis ]. And between both Figaro and Glaneur , when sections are examined side-by-side, this evidence is considered the wisest , the most reasonable . Hence the presence in the title of the words “ Littérature comparée” [ comparative literature ]. After Maillard, Sentoux is inspired by fellow journalists Louis Jourdan and Gustave Isambert in an article which continues to explore the issues of Fous journalistes et journalistes fous . For the latter, the judgements made by Jourdan and Isambert concerning the asylum system are too quick, their ignorance: too important. The information available to them is incomplete, their criticism: unfounded. It is their job, perhaps. In response to their criticism, for Sentoux, asylums are much more charitable and benevolent. They are almost a blessing for the person who has the opportunity to visit them. For Sentoux, much more so than the asylums, it is the madness itself that became profitable for the less well-off. For those who, otherwise, would be languishing in ignorance. Conclusion A rehabilitation of alienist medicine by the people who have benefited from it, i.e. lunatics, is certainly original and impressive. But the demonstration generates certain objections presented in the article's conclusion. One may believe, for instance, that Sentoux had improperly collected extracts that were relevant to his work, to his claims. That Sentoux had failed to consider the rest of the newspaper. That Sentoux excluded the most disturbing parts. Some of the excerpts from Le Glaneur , indeed, suggest that editors of the newspaper conceal some of the words. For fear of reprisal perhaps. If he perceived something, however, he neglects to develop this point further. According to his thesis, which will be published that same year under the title of De la surexcitation des facultés intellectuelles dans la folie [ On the over excitation of intellectual faculties in madness ], another issue torments him: that of intrinsic qualities of the Glaneur de Madopolis [ Gleaner of Madopolis ]. The newspaper, in fact, has everything to do with the history of genius and madness in literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Burns to the upper limb caused by contact with a hot press are associated with a compression trauma of variable severity. These burns are rare, and they mostly occur in the context of accidents at work due to mishandling. They can cause severe multi-tissue injuries requiring urgent multidisciplinary care. Their psycho-social repercussions are considerable, especially as they affect a young population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes the results developped in the recently published La Civilisation du journal, histoire culturelle et littéraire de la presse (ed. Dominique Kalifa, Philippe Régnier, Marie-Ève Thérenty, and Alain Vaillant), a collaboration between historians and literary scholars working together for eight years to write a synthesis about the history of the French press during the nineteenth century. It offers a comprehensive encyclopedia of journalism, the genres and forms of the periodical press, the principal figures of nineteenth-century French journalism, and the modern culture of the press. The article describes the different projects between history and literature that could be developed after this project. This kind of methodology should be extended to the relations between press and literature during the twentieth century, to women's journalism and to the globalization of the media during the nineteenth century. These projects could be developed with the help of the website Médias19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The release of a new study guide for immigrants aiming to become Canadian citizens in 2009 was the first major reform of this document since its inception in 1995. This paper examines the coverage of the Anglo-Canadian and Franco-Québécois press surrounding the new citizenship guide. Rather than supporting the widely accepted thesis that Canada is marked by a « collision of identities », our study suggests the emergence of an implicit alliance between the two Canadian “solitudes” with respect to their understanding of citizenship. In particular, the two groups of newspapers agree upon the necessity to protect « acquired gains » of Canadian society against the beliefs and practices of an uncivilized « Other ». Nevertheless, we should not jump to conclusions: does the convergence of media representations of Canadian citizenship really reflect the emergence of a shared collective identity in Quebec and Canada?

Little is known about the history of the Jewish community of Quebec City. We can legitimately ask ourselves: how were the members of this small community represented in the press a hundred years ago? In this article, we have undertaken to show the diverse representations of the Jewish habitants of Quebec City in the pages of the Anglophone newspaper Quebec Chronicle during the first quarter of the twentieth century. A content analysis of articles in this newspaper leads us to confirm that the Jews of Quebec City were, in a majority of cases, represented in a neutral or positive way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the teacher strikes that took place in the state of Sao Paulo (Brazil). These strikes produced new representations of the profession and gave a particular visibility to its interest aggregation processes. These same strikes appeared as major incentives for the organisation of teachers in Brazil. The October 1963 strike - about six months before the military coup of 1964 - was the first to mobilise the whole of the teaching profession of the Sao Paulo state: primary and secondary education, public and private schools were all involved. The two other strikes, organised by teachers in the public schools in 1978 and 1979, took place under the dictatorship. As such, they had a particular significance in the process of recovering civil liberties in the final stages of the military regime in the 1980s. This article is based on an analysis of the front-page covering of these teacher strikes by the two major journals of the state, O Estado de S. Paulo and Folha de S. Paulo. With Chartier's concept collective representations in mind, this approach allows us to grasp how large-circulation journals diffuse images of the profession and its organisational configurations. These press pictures are analysed by dint of the analytical frame Roland Barthes advanced in the 1960s, i.e. by reading their denoted, connoted and symbolic messages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
