"Vues de ma fenêtre-caméra au cours d'aventures urbaines, des images d'Alger où, enfant, au sortir de l'indépendance, j'ai appris la liberté, et dont quelques décennies plus tard, immigrée à l'envers et exilée volontaire, j'ai fait ma ville d'élection ; j'étais alors "épouse de la république de Madagascar" comme le disait la page de gauche de mon passeport quand la page de droite précisait "de l'ambassadeur extraordinaire et plénipotentiaire" (Franssou Prenant) Pas d’entretien, pas d’interview filmée. Mais des voix-off, des paroles, en surnombre, issues d’entretiens et de conversations qui évoquent les répressions similaires menées par la France en Algérie et à Madagascar ; l’amour et comment il est (im)praticable ; la religion sa prégnance et son refus ; les mœurs donc ; le passé, plus riche, disparu, évacué ; les guerres (celle avec la France et la civile contre le terrorisme) ; le quotidien et la banalisation - mondialisation du paysage urbain ; la cinémathèque et plus généralement la culture qui tend à se faire rare ; les prostituées des cités pétrolières ; les immigrés espagnols du franquisme et les réfugiés politiques des « pays frères » dans les années 70 ; l’école sous la colonie…

How the optimism gap between rich and poor is creating an increasingly divided societyThe Declaration of Independence states that all people are endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that among these is the pursuit of happiness. But is happiness available equally to everyone in America today? How about elsewhere in the world? Carol Graham draws on cutting-edge research linking income inequality with well-being to show how the widening prosperity gap has led to rising inequality in people's beliefs, hopes, and aspirations.For the United States and other developed countries, the high costs of being poor are most evident not in material deprivation but rather in stress, insecurity, and lack of hope. The result is an optimism gap between rich and poor that, if left unchecked, could lead to an increasingly divided society. Graham reveals how people who do not believe in their own futures are unlikely to invest in them, and how the consequences can range from job instability and poor education to greater mortality rates, failed marriages, and higher rates of incarceration. She describes how the optimism gap is reflected in the very words people use-the wealthy use words that reflect knowledge acquisition and healthy behaviors, while the words of the poor reflect desperation, short-term outlooks, and patchwork solutions. She also explains why the least optimistic people in America are poor whites, not poor blacks or Hispanics.Happiness for All? highlights the importance of well-being measures in identifying and monitoring trends in life satisfaction and optimism-and misery and despair-and demonstrates how hope and happiness can lead to improved economic outcomes.
