Despite the feminization of the medical profession, the academic world remains largely male-dominated. Several studies conducted in the English-speaking world have shown that women are published less than men. Our goal is to define the evolution of the role of women in five French medical journals. The articles from five French journals (Revue du Praticien, Bulletin du Cancer, Exercer, Presse Médicale, Cancer/Radiothérapie) published in February between 1983 and 2019 were included. We selected twelve years from that period of time. The analysis was completed using Cochran-Armitage tests with a significance level of < 0,05. Among the authors, 4397 were included in total and we were able to determine the gender of 4309 of them. The percentage of female authors went from 16% in 1983 to 36.4% in 2019 (p < 0.001). This rise is more significant for those specializing in surgery than for those specializing in medicine, with a percentage going from 14% to 38.5% (p < 0.001) against 16.8% to 35.4% (p < 0.001) respectively. In 2019, women still only represent 30.2% of the last authors, 27.6% of editorial authors and 30.6% of corresponding authors. Our study underlines a significant increase in the number of female authors and highlights that their position as authors remains on the margins of the most prestigious authorial positions. While we can celebrate this increase, we nevertheless notice that there are fewer female authors than female practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Edith Wharton played a far more important role than is usually recognized in the transformation of French perceptions of both American history and American literature in the first two decades of the twentieth century. In this article, I trace the different stages of that transformation. At first, in France, Wharton was hardly thought of as an American writer at all: she was merely a disciple of Balzac and Bourget who happened to be American. But by the early 1920s she began to be seen as the author of American novels, perhaps even the author of what she herself ironically called “the Great American Novel.”

Reading rooms, a totally unprecedented kind of institution in a country newly independent from Portuguese rule, started being set up in nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro in the late 1820s. Catering mainly for the foreign communities, their fare consisted for the most part in imported printed material. Although it might sound like an exaggeration to claim that Rio was flooded with newspapers, books and periodicals, they became gradually and increasingly available to its inhabitants. The establishment of the British Subscription Library in 1826, the Portuguese Circulating Library in 1837, and the Biblioteca Fluminense in 1847 played a pivotal role in the circulation of British and French periodicals, allowing for the dissemination of news, ideas, key political, social and economic issues, as well as the diffusion of fiction and literary news. This essay reveals the presence and circulation of some of the foreign periodicals in nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro libraries and reading rooms and traces their impact on the local Republic of Letters.

"Spreading the News: The Illustrated Press," focuses on the new concept of the illustrated universal survey periodical that appeared early in the 1830s, first in England, then in France. It was enabled by technological advances such as the steam press, cheaper paper, wood engraving and stereotypes, as well as greater literacy among the citizenry. The earliest illustrated periodicals were published by social reformers in both countries who were attempting to raise the status of the working classes, but the medium soon attracted wealthier, more educated strata as well; within decades the illustrated press had spread throughout the world.

Through the contemporary intellectual review Lignes, this article charts the responses to neoliberalism and crisis of Michel Surya, Frédéric Lordon, and Frédéric Neyrat. In the mid-1990s Surya critiques discourses of transparency which attempt to morally justify financial capitalism. The economist Lordon corroborates Surya's account of the cynical use of ‘transparency’ within financial milieus, noting that the market's wealth is generated by opacity. Yet Surya's account spreads beyond the financial sector, suggesting that the demand for transparency creates a generalized atmosphere of surveillance and ostentation, implying that an opaque withdrawal from the public sphere is a mode of resistance. Also publishing in Lignes, Neyrat moves beyond the potentially sterile binary of transparency and opacity to suggest “exposure” as a mediating term measuring both degrees of appearance and disappearance, and the exposure of individuals to concrete threats such as debt, harm, surveillance, and expulsion. Such conceptual texts are anchored in comparisons to UK Uncut, Occupy, le comité invisible and the black bloc. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This article explores the complex positioning of Jeanne-Justine Fouqueau de Pussy (J.J.), editor-in-chief and columnist for the long-running Journal des Demoiselles (1833-96), vis-à-vis the dominant ideology of the feminine in nineteenth-century France. From 1833 to her retirement in 1853, J.J., a self-supporting and mature divorcée living alone, presented herself as a jeune fille who lived at home with her parents and corresponded about the latest fashions and trends with an anonymous and imaginary reader. This article argues that, in spite of the journal's markedly conservative tenor as a vehicle for promoting respectable femininity and its explicit aim to prepare young girls for bourgeois marriage, the columns of its principal spokeswoman can be read as the expression of an alternative agenda centred in female sociability and autonomy. Analysing fashion plates and sewing patterns alongside sample columns from the twenty-year span of J.J.'s 'Correspondance', the article traces the idea of literal and figurative 'reflectivity' to investigate J.J.'s mixing of surface and subtextual messages.

The Belle Époque has been considered to be the peak years of French feminist and suffragist activism. Yet this period can also be seen as one of gender conflicts and contradictions that have been skilfully revealed by talented artists working in what is called the ‘golden age of caricature’. This article is conceived as an analysis and decoding of satirical representations of feminists by French political caricaturists at the height of the women's suffrage campaign. Their work circulated relatively freely in the mass illustrated press, targeting the dominant bourgeois political order and its failure to address social inequalities. Caricaturists also mocked bourgeois feminists and suffragists as class enemies whose demands for political rights would, in their opinion, provide no guarantee that their participation in politics would be any different from that of bourgeois men. Leading artists, such as Jules Grandjouan and Juan Gris, recycled the misogynous anti-feminist arguments so prevalent in the literature and social sciences of this period, and deployed a new visual language that expressed the extreme violence of this reactionary opposition to feminism. The article analyses three issues of the influential satirical magazine, L'Assiette au Beurre, devoted to feminism and feminists, women's suffrage, and their eligibilty for public office. The author argues that these caricatures were part of an aggressive countermovement against the bourgeois social order and against feminism as a legitimate political movement.

This paper deals with the visual, vocal and emotional portraits of the quoted speakers (énonciateurs cités, EC) as they are depicted by journalists in Le Monde. These portraits can be divided into two groups: in the first one, the speakers are presented without prosopography, and in the second, they emerge from the text through prosopographic elements. The group of speakers without prosopography is itself divided into two sub-groups: notorious speakers and visually anonymous speakers. In the prosopographically presented speakers' group, the reporter presents details of the physical appearance, but can also describe his proxemic or vocal behaviour of the speaker, which can be near to the vocal ethos or remain at the level of vocal gesture. The speakers (and their speech) are then depicted and classified: some seem to be more reliable and more famous than the others and then seem to have a certain level of power, some seem more trivial, or even more ridiculous and petty.

In France, tension between modernism, upheld by young people, and tradition, supported by many social lobbyists, orchestrated the Sixties. In particular sport’s political and federal proposals didn’t really meet the expectations, values and representations of French youth. Thus in the article the authors focus on a sports theme through the study of four magazines for teenagers which were representative of that period. In the analysis of these monthly teen magazines, the authors show that in contrast to the ‘adult’ press, teen magazines announced changes in sports and leisure that would take the form of resistance to a traditional model which had, on the contrary, intended to attract the young.

The article analyzes how the French media promotes and broadcasts the idea of the sex bomb, or female sex symbols, among teenage girls. It looks at the development of sexualized identities and how they are influenced by a teenage girl's family, peers, and mass media such as television and radio. It discusses the role of mass media in spreading images, social representations, and stereotypes, and how it proposes models with identical ideals and standards. It particularly focuses on the identity of a sex bomb and how it causes issues among adults such as the representation of erotic women in French magazines intended for adolescents and young women and explores its emergence in Western culture in the 1950s. Also examined is the novel "Lolita," by Vladimir Nabokov.

More than 80 years ago, Time magazine was launched in the United States, heralding the birth of a new journalistic genre. Since then, countless newsmagazines have appeared around the world. What are the elements that contribute towards the success of this journalistic genre today? And what are the perspectives for the future of newsmagazines? This study analyses 26 issues of six newsmagazines—Time (four copies), Newsweek (four), L'Express (five), Le Nouvel Observateur (five), Sabado (four) and Visao (four) during January 2009. The focus of the study is on the covers (cover lines, images, design) and the subjects that each magazine chooses for the front page. The objective is to cross-reference the data gathered using content analysis with the results of a previous study of newsmagazines in 1999. Comparing the reality of 10 years ago with newsmagazines today facilitates understanding of the differences between this genre and others, as well as the ways in which newsmagazines are adapting to the advances of digital journalism. It will also assist in understanding whether it is really possible to talk about a “newsmagazine genre”, based on the differences and similarities found within the selected corpus.
