The present paper examines the impact of the COVID 19-pandemic on school exchanges between Germany and France. Furthermore, it investigates teachers’ and students’ experiences with distance learning during this period. We highlight that the pandemic has generated many exceptional challenges, especially for vulnerable students. However, the pandemic-induced constraints have also stimulated the development of new didactic approaches, tools and methods. Therefore, we can speak about the new opportunities in the domain of education, and most precisely, for school exchanges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This short review article has two main goals. On the one hand, to show that beyond an apparent opposition between "big state" and "big society", the history of French assistance is based more on complementarities and cooperation than on confrontation. As in Anglo-Saxon countries and Germany, it is therefore relevant to speak about a "mixed economy of welfare", although the term is almost never used. On the other hand, the paper will also try to understand that omission by tracing the outlines of the French historiography on assistance, showing that works on the subject are both relatively recent (mainly from the 1990s onwards) and often scattered across religious and social history from the 19th to the 21st century; but also between historians and other social scientists.

The spatial thinking of French Jesuit Michel de Certeau (1925- 1986) has been frequently discussed and put in context with the spatial turn. De Certeau's spatial theory is organized through a framework of dualistic key-categories: space and place, map and tour, strategy and tactic. However, his theory has more to offer than a formal pattern for describing spatial practices in urban space in the vein of French structuralism. The distinction between spaces and places rather holds a strong normative implication. His practical transformation from places into spaces thus not only plays an important role for his cultural history of everyday life developed in Arts de faire, but also in his work on historical writing and meta-historiography, and his research in early modern mysticism. This paper examines the main features of de Certeau's theory of space and their interdisciplinary appropriation, as well as discusses the potential of the spatial practice approach for social and cultural studies beyond the conceptualization of everyday practices of resistance.

The article reports on a conference about the role of symbols and the imaginary in legitimizing political order, which was held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on October 21-22, 2011. The papers presented addressed such topics as the representation of absolutism in the fables of French poet Jean de La Fontaine, the illustration of critical moments of the French Revolution by French classicist painter Jacques-Louis David, and the epistemological writings of Dutch philosopher Benedict de Spinoza.

The article offers information on a transnational conference that focused on the military history of the national defense departments and armed forces of nation-states such as France and Germany from the 19th to the 20th century. It took place in Paris, France on June 20, 2011. Papers presented at the conference discussed topics including the army constitutions of nation-states, the management of colonial military troops, and the development of the French and German national armies.

The article offers information on the "Historical Climatology" conference that took place at the German Historical Institute in Paris, France from September 5-6, 2011. Papers presented at the conference discussed topics such as how historians can contribute to finding a solution to climate change, how climate change affected animals in England and Wales during the 14th century, and how certain types of documentary data can aid in the reconstruction of European climates.

The paper deals with the application of the French Penal Code of 1810 by the French courts. The Code provided for the establishment in each department of a Court of Assizes (Courd'assises) to replace the Court of Criminal Justice (Cour de justice criminelle) , which itself succeeded the Criminal Court of the Revolution, and also greatly reformed investigation and prosecution. It is widely seen as significantly more severe than the Code of 1791, interested in preserving the interests and the authority of the state, but an analysis of the way in which it was used by the courts, here notably the Assize Court of Vienne, shows that the courts managed to show a more measured approach to prosecution and sentencing of concrete cases while remaining true to the spirit of the 1810 Penal Code.

"Charlie Hebdo Shooting" or "Attack against Charlie Hebdo"? What would be the better title for a Wikipedia article? This type of question arises every time Wikipedia community members create a new entry. Given the emblematic role of the titles, the process of choosing them is a difficult task which requires an intense collaboration process. The present study investigates the choice of the titles and focuses on the relationship between the title and the content of the article as well as the linguistic form of the title itself. With regard to the semantic appropriateness of the titles, we explore a corpus of articles on historical and recent events as well as on social groups defined either by physical or mental limitations or by their skin color. The choice of the linguistic forms is examined using entries that include foreign proper names and expressions affected by the orthographic reform of 1990 in France. The analysis shows that the collaborative construction of titles is very enriching in most cases and allows titles to attain clearer and more neutral forms that approach increasingly the neutral encyclopedic ideal.

The article presents a report on the perspective of ordinary soldiers in the Napoleonic Wars. Topics discussed here include letters from the Napoleonic Wars as historical sources, family background and military services of Stephan Wahlen, and the pictures depicted by Wahlen of soldiers, landscapes, and cities. Also being discussed is the sale of letters in the Napoleonic army.

The article discusses a long-standing conflict between France's doctors and the Securité sociale owing to doctors' incomes. The social security system's deficits led to a July 1980 reordering of that relationship that sparked physician protests and a threat of a general strike. A co-payment check system was introduced that provides a paper trail of physician medicine and procedure prescriptions to be monitored by health insurance authorities. Doctors see their freedom threatened.
