Abstract

Over complex terrain, spatial inhomogeneities of pre-convective atmospheric conditions occur due to convection and mesoscale transport processes. This thesis focuses on the identification of these processes over the mountainous island of Corsica and on the evaluation of their impact on the spatial variability of water vapour, convection-related parameters and the evolution of deep convection by means of observations.

Abstract

En Corse, dans les années 1970, une société villageoise s'accroche à la montagne. Elle y maintient, avec le concours de la diaspora, un modèle d'existence en commun largement hérité de son passé proche mais dont les évolutions en cours sur le littoral semblent préparer à terme la disparition. Ce serait alors la fin d'une longue histoire sur laquelle cette société avait gravé sa signature, à défaut d'y exercer sa mainmise. La Corse est, en effet, l'abri d'une civilisation dont le creuset est villageois. Les textes rassemblés dans ce volume dressent le portrait de certaines des institutions portant la marque de cette civilisation et reconstituent ses valeurs. Un idéal en organise le jeu ; il est cultivé dans chaque vallée, dans chaque communauté de village, dans chaque maisonnée : l'idéal de souveraineté.

Abstract

In Corsica, spelling contests, road signs, bilingual education bills and Corsican language newscasts leave language planners and ordinary speakers deeply divided over how to define what "counts" as Corsican and how it is connected with cultural identity. In Ideologies in Action Alexandra Jaffe explores the complex interrelationship between linguistic ideologies and practices on the French island of Corsica. This detailed exploration of the ideological and political underpinnings of three decades of language planning raises fundamental questions about what it means to "save" a minority language, and the way in which specific cultural, political and ideological contexts shape the "successes" and "failures" of linguistic engineering efforts. Jaffe's ethnography focuses both on the way dominant language ideologies are inscribed in the everyday experience of ordinary people, as well as how they shape the evolving strategies of language planners trying to revitalize the Corsican language. While Jaffe's analysis demonstrates the pervasive influence of dominant language ideologies on minority language speakers and language planners, she also draws on case studies from everyday discourse, educational practice and public and mediatized debates over language issues to develop an ethnographically-grounded perspective on levels of resistance. In the final part of the book she explores the emergence (and the limits) of "radical" genres of resistance found in forms of Corsican language activism and in examples of codeswitching and language mixing in bilingual radio practice. This book contributes to a growing literature on language ideology, and will be of interest to anthropologists, political scientists and linguists interested in the practical and theoretical dimensions of language contact, minority language literacy, bilingual education, and language shift.
