Literaturas migrantes, preservación de las memorias e identidades colectivas y cohesión social. Retos para la Europa del siglo XXI

Número de Páginas: 305

La Europa de las democracias, de los derechos fundamentales, plural, inclusiva y sin fronteras, tiene todavía camino por recorrer para erradicar los etnocentrismos responsables de la denigración de las identitades colectivas y de los silenciamientos de sus respectivas memorias. Inspiradas en las vivencias de desterritorializaciones forzosas o voluntarias de sus autores o de sus comunidades de origen, en los complejos procesos de integración experimentados en los países de acogida, las literaturas migrantes posibilitan la observación y el cuestionamiento de realidades y asunciones sociopolíticas y culturales ancladas en los imaginarios occidentales, responsables de las trabas y dificultades con las que se topan las sociedades multiculturales a la hora de defender un diálogo intercultural real y efectivo, condición sine qua non de la convivencia y de la cohesión social. La presente monografía, conformada por un conjunto de investigaciones vinculadas con diversos ámbitos lingüístico-culturales, sustentándose en la dimensión política y ética de las obras analizadas, da cuenta de hasta qué punto la literatura puede actuar como motor de cambio social...María Isabel...

Alteridad y escritura identitaria en el imaginario magrebí francófono .

Alteridad y escritura identitaria en el imaginario magrebí francófono .

Número de Páginas: 125

Las representaciones ficcionales de los conflictos identitarios en las literaturas francófonas magrebíes contemporáneas están en auge. En este sentido, la escritura identitaria pretende identificar los principales problemas que encuentran las mujeres y las personas LGTBIQ+ a la hora de desarrollarse plenamente y mostrarse en el espacio público, sin miedos ni vergüenza, así como las estrategias adoptadas para salir adelante en un sistema de coacción moral, religiosa, económica o sexual.Las autoras y autores que se estudian en este volumen utilizan la ficción para dar voz a aquellos colectivos de la realidad a los que nadie escucha, y que se enfrentan a discriminaciones por motivos sexuales, de género, raciales o de clase. Su compromiso con la sociedad pasa por una escritura que se adentra en el lado más oscuro de la vida en Marruecos o Argelia, pero también en Francia, para deconstruir algunos mitos en torno a la inclusión, así como para configurar un imaginario magrebí más luminoso que el que algunos medios intentan imponer, especialmente en un momento político marcado por el auge de la extrema derecha. La necesidad de aunar luchas para liberarse del yugo...

Croisées de destins

Autor: Georges Michal

Número de Páginas: 296

L’enquête sur l’assassinat d’un bijoutier est confiée à la commissaire principale Camille Ouessant, personnage incontrôlable, souvent redoutable, parfois fragile. Elle nous entraîne, dans une affaire complexe au cœur de la capitale des Gaules, au rythme de rebondissements en trompe l’œil ou à contrepied. Une savante orchestration du pire et du meilleur de la nature humaine, sur fond d’événements et de personnages troubles au service d’une énigme. Une parfaite alchimie, pour donner de la profondeur à l’ensemble et en rendre la lecture attrayante. Ce roman, politiquement incorrect, pose un regard noir sur des comportements déroutants, parfois édifiants. Les destins des personnages s’entrecroisent dans des drames, avec désinvolture et cynisme. A lire sans retenue.

Transforming Family

Transforming Family

Autor: Jocelyn Frelier

Número de Páginas: 287

One of the lasting legacies of colonialism is the assumption that families should conform to a kinship arrangement built on normative, nuclear, individuality-based models. An alternate understanding of familial aspiration is one cultivated across national borders and cultures and beyond the constraints of diasporas. This alternate understanding, which imagines a category of “trans-” families, relies on decolonial and queer intellectual thought to mobilize or transform power across borders. In Transforming Family Jocelyn Frelier examines a selection of novels penned by francophone authors in France, Morocco, and Algeria, including Azouz Begag, Nina Bouraoui, Fouad Laroui, Leïla Sebbar, Leïla Slimani, and Abdellah Taïa. Each novel contributes a unique argument about this alternate understanding of family, questioning how family relates to race, gender, class, embodiment, and intersectionality. Arguing that trans- families are always already queer, Frelier opens up new spaces of agency for both family units and individuals who seek representation and fulfilling futures. The novels analyzed in Transforming Family, as well as the families they depict, resist classification and...

Evaluating Second Language Education

Autor: J. Charles Alderson , Alan Beretta

Número de Páginas: 388

"Counter Responsibility for planning language teaching programs now carries with it a strong element of accountability. Evaluation of the whole process of course design, development, and implementation is therefore a necessary area of activity for course designers, language planners, and researchers. This book brings together accounts of recent work in this increasingly important field and will be a valuable resource both for those already engaged in evaluation and for those in training. Part One presents a review of the literature, covering past developments in the wider field of educational evaluation, as well as specifically in second language education. Part Two contains a series of eight original case-studies, written by scholars involved in evaluations in widely divergent settings. The focus in each case is on how the evaluator addresses the difficulties central to each study, and the findings are also included. The final Part Three provides practical guidance for evaluators, offering suggestions about how to set up and carry out evaluations in any given setting."--Publisher's website.

Exploratory Practice in Language Teaching

Exploratory Practice in Language Teaching

Autor: Judith Hanks

Número de Páginas: 391

This book tracks the development of Exploratory Practice since the early 1990s as an original form of practitioner research in the field of English language teaching. Drawing on case studies, vignettes and narratives from teachers and learners around the world as they experienced Exploratory Practice in their different contexts, Hanks examines the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the Exploratory Practice framework and asks what the principles really mean in practice. For language professionals considering investigating their classrooms and their teaching/learning practices rigorously and thoughtfully, this book breaks new ground, arguing for a fresh perspective: (exploratory) practice-as-research. Judith Hanks is Lecturer in TESOL at the University of Leeds, UK. Her work bridges specialist areas in language teacher education, intercultural communication, TESOL and EAP.

Translating Mind Matters in Twenty-First-Century French Women’s Writing

Translating Mind Matters in Twenty-First-Century French Women’s Writing

Autor: Claire Ellender

Número de Páginas: 152

Attitudes towards, and strategies for treating, those who suffer from abnormal mental states have evolved considerably over the centuries, and these are reflected in the various literary genres of all eras. In its introduction, this book provides a concise, yet thorough, overview of this phenomenon, citing key examples taken from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Each of the eight chapters which constitute Part One of this study then focuses on representations of a particular mental health issue in a work of literature produced by a twenty-first-century French woman writer. Considering the causes and symptoms of the given condition, it situates the representation of its treatment in relation to current attitudes and practices in the West. Inspired by the concept that reading literature which concentrates on mental health problems can be both informative and of comfort to those affected by such issues, Part Two provides detailed textual analyses, and discusses the English-language versions, of four works examined in Part One which already exist in translation. Suggesting how these may be of benefit to an Anglophone readership, it recommends that the four remaining texts,...

Magnetic Structures of 2D and 3D Nanoparticles

Magnetic Structures of 2D and 3D Nanoparticles

Autor: Jean-claude Serge Levy

Número de Páginas: 459

Magnetic nanoparticles appear naturally in rock magnetism together with a large distribution of sizes and shapes. They have numerous applications from nano-size magnetic memories to metamaterials for electromagnetic waves as well as biological applications such as nanosurgery with minimal traumatism. Their long-ranged size- and shape-dependent dipolar interactions provide numerous useful properties. This book describes the preparation as well as the magnetic properties of nanoparticles and also considers 2D dots, nearly spherical samples, elongated samples, and various assemblies of nanoparticles. The authors report the static magnetic structures and dynamic properties of these nanoparticles and the topological defects in 2D and 3D nanoparticles with new examples of S-shaped vortex or antivortex and of bent vortex or antivortex in 3D nanoparticles. The spectrum of magnetic excitations is shown to exhibit the occurrence of gaps, a key for magnonic metamaterial devices. Magnetic excited states are also considered with their coupling to nanoparticle elastic properties.

Autor: Huseyin Tombuloglu , Guzin Tombuloglu , Ebtesam Al-suhaimi , Abdulhadi Baykal , Khalid Rehman Hakeem

Número de Páginas: 491

Molecular Impacts of Nanoparticles on Plants and Algae covers molecular mechanisms of plants/algae related to cellular uptake and translocation of nanoparticles, and genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome responses against it. The book introduces readers to state-of-the-art developments and trends of nanoparticles and plants/algae including interaction of nanoparticles with biological compounds in vitro. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have rapidly been developed in the last few decades, and they have a wide range of applications in industry, medicine, food, and agriculture. In agriculture, nanoparticles (NPs) have successfully been used for growth regulation, crop protection and improvement. They are also employed to cope with plant nutrient deficiencies. A predicted significant increase in the output of NPs will cause the discharge of a remarkable number of NPs to ecosystems, creating a need to understand how to optimize or mitigate their impact depending on their potential impact. These include serious health concerns for living organisms in aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments as well as human health through their potential existence in plant-based foods. ...

Discover the hectic behind-the-scenes drama of transfer deadlines through the players, managers, chairmen, agents, scouts, analysts, fans, journalists, broadcasters and bookmakers. For football fans who hungrily feed on gossip and rumour, Christmas comes twice a year - once in August and again in January. These are the months when the transfer window dominates thoughts, when the prospect of a new signing or two reinvigorates the hopes and dreams of the hopelessly devoted. Nige Tassell goes behind the scenes to observe the workings of the transfer window and to examine why it continues to hold such fascination for a nation of football lovers. He speaks to players, managers, chairmen, agents, scouts, analysts, fans, journalists, broadcasters and even bookmakers to hear how they survive - and possibly prosper from - these red-letter months in the football calendar. Nobody writes about football like Nige Tassell: poignant, funny, nostalgic and reminds us why we love the game.

African Migration, Human Rights and Literature

African Migration, Human Rights and Literature

Autor: Fareda Banda

Número de Páginas: 356

This innovative book looks at the topic of migration through the prism of law and literature. The author uses a rich mix of novels, short stories, literary realism, human rights and comparative literature to explore the experiences of African migrants and asylum seekers. The book is divided into two. Part one is conceptual and focuses on art activism and the myriad ways in which people have sought to 'write justice.' Using Mazrui's diasporas of slavery and colonialism, it then considers histories of migration across the centuries before honing in on the recent anti-migration policies of western states. Achiume is used to show how these histories of imposition and exploitation create a bond which bestows on Africans a “status as co-sovereigns of the First World through citizenship.” The many fictional examples of the schemes used to gain entry are set against the formal legal processes. Attention is paid to life post-arrival which for asylum seekers may include periods in detention. The impact of the increased hostility of receiving states is examined in light of their human rights obligations. Consideration is paid to how Africans navigate their post-migration lives which...

"La nuit je prends des mots et je leur ouvre le ventre pour voir ce qu'il y a à l'intérieur du mien" Après vingt ans d'arrêt et un confinement sportif, Léo a repris la pratique du judo. Il a trente-quatre ans. Il se pense dans la force de l'âge. Il veut passer sa ceinture noire. Mais très vite, ses genoux fragiles et la suite de l'histoire l'en empêchent. Convalescent, allongé sur son lit, Léo rassemble sur un petit chariot des livres, des carnets, des brouillons, des poèmes, l'enfance et ses souvenirs, tout une bibliothèque intime et surtout : le potentiel d'un brasier ! Portrait de famille, récit sportif et politique, La Bagarre ! est le combat d'un homme - père, fils et frère - avec l'écriture et son histoire pour rester debout. Étonnant, profond, drôle, franc, parfois brutal mais jamais gratuit, le style de Léo Lebrun oscille entre Bukowski et Hemingway, explorant la souplesse et la dureté de la langue autant que celles de l'existence.

Tortures, exécutions sommaires, incendies de villages... Paru en février 1960, La Pacification dresse le terrible répertoire des moyens de répression exercés par le gouvernement français contre les combattants algériens et les opposants à la guerre d'Algérie. Il recense des témoignages de victimes et d'appelés, mais aussi des lettres adressées aux autorités politiques et judiciaires, des interventions d'avocats, des articles de presse. Il aura fallu près d'un an de travail, mené par des militants anticolonialistes avec la Fédération de France du FLN, pour sélectionner et authentifier avec rigueur les documents. Sorti en Suisse, ce livre est alors interdit en France : silence, on torture ! Voici donc à nouveau sur la table cette importante pièce historique, mise en contexte par son éditeur originel, Nils Andersson. Il relate l'aventure de ce livre, depuis son élaboration jusqu'à sa diffusion clandestine en France. Plus largement, il rappelle le combat des éditeurs engagés contre la guerre d'Algérie, autour notamment de Jérôme Lindon ou de François Maspero, soulignant par là l'inestimable pouvoir de résistance de l'écrit.

120 ans de Prix Goncourt - Une histoire littéraire française

Autor: Jean-yves Le Naour , Catherine Valenti

Número de Páginas: 782

L'année 2023 marque le 120 e anniversaire du prix littéraire créé par Edmond de Goncourt par voie de testament : le premier prix Goncourt a en effet été attribué le 21 décembre 1903 à John-Antoine Nau pour son roman Force ennemie. Il paraissait donc pertinent de célébrer cet anniversaire par un ouvrage s'attachant à retracer l'histoire de ce prix qui s'est rapidement imposé comme le plus prestigieux et le plus convoité des prix littéraires français. En 1892, Edmond de Goncourt nomme pour exécuteur testamentaire son ami Alphonse Daudet, " à la charge pour lui de constituer, dans l'année de mon décès, à perpétuité, une société littéraire dont la fondation a été, tout le temps de notre vie d'hommes de lettres, la pensée de mon frère et la mienne, et qui a pour objet la création d'un prix annuel de 5 000 francs destiné à un ouvrage littéraire, et d'une rente annuelle de 6 000 francs au profit de chacun des membres de la société ". Ce n'est pourtant que onze ans plus tard, le 19 janvier 1903, que naît cette " contre-Académie française " – constituée pour mettre en valeur le roman, genre méprisé par les Immortels du quai Conti – dont le...

François Salvaing le déplore : la France manque cruellement de ce genre littéraire cher au cœur des Américains : le western. Ce n’est pourtant pas faute de conquêtes capables de nourrir l’imagination de ses écrivains. Des conquêtes, il y en eut – il y eut même un empire colonial – mais de westerns, point. Salvaing s’en console mal. Il a voulu combler cette grave lacune. A sa manière. Donc, un matin de 1905, un grand navire touche une plage d’Afrique, qui pourrait être marocaine. Son nom : « Mission de la France ». De ces flancs débarquent dans le plus grand enthousiasme et le plus grand désordre, un général, deux préfets, trois évêques, une armée, des familles, des putains, deux banques, le Progrès. On dresse un camp, on bâtit une ville, puis l’on attend. Quoi ? Que se montrent les indigènes, car – à l’exception d’un gamin nommé Ali et que l’on baptise Paul – on les attend en vain. Que vienne de Paris l’ordre de s’enfoncer dans les terres pour apporter enfin la civilisation à ce peuple invisible. Mais l’ordre ne vient pas et le général Crèvecœur de Crécy prend un beau jour la tête de son armée et part, le jeune Ali à ...

Bienvenue dans le plus drôle et le plus impudique des anti-manuels de grossesse. Histoire de lui épargner vingt ans de psychanalyse – ou de les préparer –, une mère écrit à son enfant in utero pour lui raconter d'où il vient, quel genre d'énergumènes sont ses parents, dans quelles circonstances il a été conçu. Car le bébé à venir est le fruit d'une rencontre improbable et cocasse entre deux êtres que tout aurait dû séparer : origine, milieu, famille, culture, et presque trente ans de différence. Si vous aimez Groucho Marx, Philip Roth, Woody Allen et les boulettes aux artichauts, si vous êtes une future mère ou un futur père, si vous voulez connaître la vie secrète de vos parents avant votre naissance ou les pensées inavouables de votre génitrice pendant qu'elle vous attendait, si la béatitude convenue des femmes enceintes vous exaspère, alors cette confession corrosive et hilarante est faite pour vous.

Während Migration seit Jahrzehnten ein hitzig und kontrovers diskutiertes Thema ist, sind weibliche migrierende Subjekte in den politischen und medialen Diskursen entgegen ihrer realen Präsenz unterrepräsentiert. Der vorliegende Band verfolgt daher das Ziel, Frauen als Subjekte der Migration und der – schriftlichen wie audiovisuellen – Diskurse in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Er untersucht die Räume, die migrierenden Frauen zugeschrieben werden, sowie ihr Bezug zu biologischen und genderspezifischen Themen wie Mutterschaft, Familie, Körper und Gewalt. Unter anderem zeigt sich, dass Text und Film als Raum fungieren, in dem Schreiben und Zeigen als performative Handlung wirken, die den Frauen eine neue Selbstbestimmtheit ermöglichen. Alors que la migration enflamme depuis des décennies discussions et controverses, les sujets migrants féminins sont sousreprésentés dans les débats politiques et médiatiques, en opposition à leur présence réelle. Cette collection d’analyses souhaite donc placer au centre les femmes comme sujets de la migration et des discours, qu’ils soient écrits ou audiovisuels. Elle examine les espaces attribués aux femmes migrantes et leur ...

Durante los días 27, 28 y 29 de marzo de 2019, el Laboratorio de Investigación Marruecos: Mundo Ibérico e Iberoamericano (Facultad de Letras y Ciencias Humanas Aïn Chock / Universidad Hassan II de Casablanca) y la Cátedra al-Andalus/Magreb de la Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (Chile), organizaron en Casablanca el Congreso Internacional «ÁFRICA, IBEROAMÉRICA Y EUROPA: INTERCAMBIOS CULTURALES». Este encuentro cultural contó con la colaboración del Centro Mohammed VI para el Diálogo de Civilizaciones, con sede en Coquimbo, Chile.
