Abstract

The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination. The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation. Interest is also being sharpened in the ‘places of war’ as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage. For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front. The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually. To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region’s landscape – commemorative and heritage – are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored. Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individual’s own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement. Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front: Landscape, Tourism and Heritage is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought. It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

Abstract

Présentation de l'éditeur : "La gouvernance des sociétés est encadrée par des règles de plus en plus complexes. à la norme juridique proprement dite, législative et jurisprudentielle, s'ajoute le droit souple (soft law), ensemble de bonnes pratiques regroupées dans des codes élaborés par des organisations professionnelles et complétées par les attentes des investisseurs. Le propos est largement consacré aux sociétés cotées, mais ne se limite pas à elles. Peu nombreuses, elles font l'objet d'une réglementation particulièrement complexe. Elles ont développé et codifié les bonnes pratiques de gouvernance qui complètent le droit des sociétés. Les sociétés non cotées - groupes familiaux, mutuelles et coopératives, entreprises de taille intermédiaire et même sociétés du secteur public - s'inspirent de ces règles pour organiser leur propre gouvernance. Les caractéristiques et les règles spécifiques à ces dernières catégories sont aussi abordées. Des indications sont également données sur les grands principes applicables à la matière dans les droits de certains pays européens. Le présent ouvrage est issu de l'expérience du certificat d'administrateur de sociétés créé en 2010 par l'Institut français des administrateurs (IFA) et SciencesPo. Il s'adresse aux administrateurs de sociétés en poste, à ceux qui souhaitent le devenir ou dont les fonctions conduisent à prendre cette responsabilité, et à ceux (secrétaires de conseils, avocats) qui les assistent. Il vise à mettre en perspective des notions que la plupart du temps ils ont rencontré et pratiqué au cours de leur vie professionnelle. Il s'adresse aussi à tous ceux (magistrats, enseignants, étudiants) qui sont amenés à analyser la gouvernance des sociétés. Pascal Durand-Barthez, avocat spécialisé dans les questions de gouvernance, a été notamment directeur juridique de GEC-Alsthom, directeur juridique et secrétaire du Conseil d'administration d'Alcatel avant de rejoindre le barreaucomme avocat Of Counsel auprès du cabinet Linklaters (2007-2013). Il est secrétaire général du Haut comité de gouvernement d'entreprise (Afep-Medef). Diplômé de SciencesPo et docteur en droit, il a écrit sur des questions de droit des affaires internationales"

Abstract

The French projet d’ordonnance, which reformed contract law, the general regime of obligations and the proof of obligations appeared in February 2015. One year later, in February 2016, the final version of the ordonnance was published. The ordonnance thoroughly reforms French contract law and the law of obligations and will enter into force in October 2016.This book results from the Contract Law Workshop of the 20th Ius Commune Conference held 26-27 November 2015. The theme of this Workshop was: ‘The French Contract Law Reform: a Source of Inspiration?’ Since the conference in November 2015, all authors have incorporated comments on the final version of the ordonnance.Whereas Van Loock briefly sketches the antecedents and the outcome of the reform, the other authors each tackle specific topics of the reform that surprised and/or excited the legal community. Pannebakker tackles the precontractual phase and assesses the attractiveness of the reform for international commercial transactions. Peeraer gives a critical overview of the doctrine of nullity in the ordonnance. Leone explores the potential impact of the ‘significant imbalance’ test in the new ordonnance on employment contracts. In their contributions, Lutzi and Oosterhuis discuss the much-debated provision that introduces the theory of imprévision. The contributions by Jansen and Verkempinck are both focused on remedies: the newly introduced price reduction remedy and damages. Storme criticises the new rules on set-off in the ordonnance, and Mahé addresses the question why the final version of the ordonnance omitted the issue of interpersonal effects of fundamental rights on contractual freedom.

Abstract

Les journaux de la vie littéraire participent de la grande entreprise biographique du XIXe siècle qui a voulu faire vivre la littérature au quotidien en l’incarnant dans des auteurs de chair, personnages de plus en plus médiatisés à un moment où le champ littéraire gagnait en autonomie. Les Goncourt créent une forme nouvelle, héritière des mémoires, en écrivant leur fameux journal qui allait susciter tant de vocations de diaristes chez les hôtes du Grenier. Désormais la vie littéraire se reflète dans le kaléidoscope des journaux qui évoquent cénacles et réseaux avec leurs rites et leurs conversations, et qui croquent les portraits des grands et petits artistes contemporains. Les journaux d’une époque tissent entre eux de constantes, subtiles et passionnantes correspondances. Ce volume les fait se répondre, nous faisant entendre les voix alternées des Goncourt, de Rosny, Descaves, Primoli, Régnier, Matthieu Galey et Brenner. Les journaux prennent des formes plus ou moins abouties : cahiers, simples carnets de notes, journaux qui cultivent le style naturel ou l’écriture artiste. À côté des journaux devenus des classiques, nombre de témoignages essentiels restent encore à l’état de manuscrits. Cet ouvrage a voulu présenter plusieurs de ces grands textes non publiés et en donner des extraits significatifs : journaux de Descaves, de Rosny, de Maury, de Primoli, de Romain Rolland. L’étude de ces vastes corpus permet de dégager une poétique du journal de la vie littéraire. Ces œuvres ont manifestement un intérêt esthétique qui ne doit pas faire oublier leur valeur documentaire pour des historiens de la littérature ou des représentations. Témoignage sur la vie littéraire, le journal est aussi une fantasmagorie, où réapparaissent les acteurs d’un monde disparu refaçonné par un diariste démiurge au gré de ses fantasmes.

Abstract

Les Examens environnementaux de l’OCDE sont des évaluations indépendantes des progrès accomplis par les pays pour tenir leurs objectifs environnementaux. Ces examens sont destinés à favoriser les échanges de bonnes pratiques, à aider les gouvernements à rendre compte de leurs politiques et à améliorer la performance environnementale, individuelle et collective, des pays. Les analyses s’appuient sur un large éventail de données économiques et environnementales. Au cours de chaque cycle d’examens environnementaux, l’OCDE passe en revue l’ensemble de ses pays membres ainsi que certains pays partenaires. Les derniers pays examinés sont le Brésil (2015), les Pays-Bas (2015) et le Chili (2016). Ce rapport est le troisième examen environnemental de la France. Il évalue ses progrès en matière de développement durable et de croissance verte, avec un accent particulier sur la transition énergétique et la biodiversité.

Abstract

This book provides a systematic analysis of the innovations that occurred in the display of royal power during John II’s four years in English captivity. Neil Murphy shows how the French king’s competition with Edward III led to a revolution in the presentation of the royal image, manifesting through developments to the sacral character of the French monarchy, lavish displays of gift giving, and the use of courtly display. Showing that the Hundred Years War was not just fought on the battlefields of France, this book unravels how the war played out daily in the competition for status between Edward III and John II. Neil Murphy is Senior Lecturer in History at Northumbria University, UK.

Abstract

This passionate and monumental biography reassesses the life and legacy of one of the most significant cultural figures of the twentieth century Unevenly respected, easily hated, almost always suspected of being inferior to his reputation, Jean Cocteau has often been thought of as a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. In this landmark biography, Claude Arnaud thoroughly contests this characterization, as he celebrates Cocteau's "fragile genius-a combination almost unlivable in art" but in his case so fertile. Arnaud narrates the life of this legendary French novelist, poet, playwright, director, filmmaker, and designer who, as a young man, pretended to be a sort of a god, but who died as a humble and exhausted craftsman. His moving and compassionate account examines the nature of Cocteau's chameleon-like genius, his romantic attachments, his controversial politics, and his intimate involvement with many of the century's leading artistic lights, including Picasso, Proust, Hemingway, Stravinsky, and Tennessee Williams. Already published to great critical acclaim in France, Arnaud's penetrating and deeply researched work reveals a uniquely gifted artist while offering a magnificent cultural history of the twentieth century.

Abstract

A haunting portrait of France at war On August 1, 1914, war erupted into the lives of millions of families across France. Most people thought the conflict would last just a few weeks. Yet before the month was out, twenty-seven thousand French soldiers died on the single day of August 22 alone-the worst catastrophe in French military history. Refugees streamed into France as the German army advanced, spreading rumors that amplified still more the ordeal of war. Citizens of enemy countries who were living in France were viciously scapegoated. Drawing from diaries, personal correspondence, police reports, and government archives, Bruno Cabanes renders an intimate, narrative-driven study of the first weeks of World War I in France. Told from the perspective of ordinary women and men caught in the flood of mobilization, this revealing book deepens our understanding of the traumatic impact of war on soldiers and civilians alike. August 1914 was a finalist for a prestigious French book award, the Prix Fémina for nonfiction, in 2014.
