Kousouris, Dimitris. "Une épuration ordinaire : les procès des collaborateurs en Grèce (1944-1949) comme composante de la reconstruction judiciaire en Europe." Paris, EHESS, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009EHES0141.
Full textThis dissertation studies the judiciary purge of the Axis' collaborators in Greece after the country's libération in l9M. That purge took place into the context of a civil war that had started during the foreign occupation and finished in 1949, when the Special Collaborators' Courts finished working. The different stages ofjuridicisation of the question describe how the two camps of the internal conflict aligned themselves on the lines that separated the camps of the civil war. Hence, we study the purge as a component of a civil war that was at the same time internal and international. The various qualitative and quantitative aspects of the administrative purges, reveal that the the purge was an effective instrument in the hands of the successor élites. In the beginning, the the trials inaugurated the myth of a global and unanimous national resistance that permitted to the new régime to incorporate into the state apparatus a part of excollaborators, mainly inthe armed forces. The symbolic appropriation of the antifascist victory permitted to the judiciary to restore its authority as well as to prepare, by 1946, the institution of an anticommunist state of emergency. Finally, by identiffing the internal and the external ennemy, mainly close to the northern frontier of the counfry, the judiciary'purge carried out the transformation of the greek frontier into frontier of the Cold War

Full textIn France, the humanistic values crisis culminated during the German occupation and the Vichy regime. During this period , art inherited much of the pre-war situation. But disruptions, both in intensity and nature modified the artistical scene. Art, as an expression of patriotic pride was is considered as a reflection of modern decadence : the lack of ideal, individualism, and democracy. Under the "national revolution" art became an instrument of development and revival after a return to order and tradition. In many respects, the "Secretariat general des beaux-arts" thought of a widely approved art policy magnifying the tradition, the fine craft, the monumentalism and the edifying subjects. The artistic world, by nature reluctant to state dirigism, resisted against the governmental positions concerning corporatism and exclusion policy. Besides, few artists accepted to serve the "service artistique du Marechal" which was attached to his person. If some artists entered the French resistance movement, some created subversive works while the majority of them staid aside and bred on its production the fancy of the many people visiting various art places. The German regime, on its side, proceeded with its own exhibitions, being encouraged by French ultras as Rebatet, and being comforted by the German journey of some famous artists : Vlaminck, Derain, Despiau, etc. Meanwhile the nazi authorities spent most of their time on their exclusion policy towards jewish and mason artists. Censorship was discontinued against the exhibition of works considered as "degenerated". Art was a stake for an authoritarian power aiming at controlling society, and an outlet for a population looking forward to returning back to normality

Full textThis dissertation studies how French musicologists lived under and reacted to the German occupation from 1940 to 1944, how the discipline -in its institutions and discourse -changed during these years and what role the actors attributed to music within this complex political context. The analysis of interactions between politics, music and science is at the centre of the reflection, constructing a new perspective on the cultural history of the period and giving critical consideration to the relationship between musicology and politics, asking: to what extent and in what way did politics enter this specific scientific discourse? How did the fields of musicology and the two political regimes (Vichy and the occupying forces) interact? How did the occupation influence the daily musicological practice? And was there such thing as a "politically engaged musicology"? By means of a close hermeneutical reading of musicological publications on the one hand and the reconstitution of historical facts from German and French archives on the other, the precise interpretation of events and discourses con tests the often affirmed conception of music as being transcendant and apolitical and of musicology as being objective and autonomous

Full textThis essay is an analysis of the successful reception of French poetry from widely-defined symbolism to varied "avant-garde" movements like Dadaism and Surrealism in Japan between the two world wars. To prove that this success was not simply a superficial imitation of the West dominated by a feeling of cultural inferiority or by snobbishness, it has been felt necessary to place the various poetic preoccupations of early 20th century Japan in the perspective of Japanese poetic tradition. So the first three chapters describe the situation met by French poetry in Japan (the "Ertwartungshorizont" of Hans Robert JAUSS), and include an attempt to make a synthesis of Japanese poetry at the beginning of the modern era while accentuating a few important characteristics: the presence of modern subjectivity and the search for an invisible metaphysics. Chapter IV retraces the political and ideological changes in Japan which explains how in the early decades of the 20th century the Japanese creators moved from an interest in English romanticism towards French symbolism. Chapter V deals with the authors or with the French poetical movements which where influential in Japan between 1920 and 1940 before the rise of militarism closed Japan to foreign influence. From then on more then the "New spirit", it was the "Nouvelle Revue Française" which was found attractive through its double ethic of political neutrality and high artistic quality. However a new universalism and a sort of poetic unanimism was becoming apparent in the work of a poet specialised in French and the translator of Rimbaud, called NAKAHARA Chuya (1907-1937) who was managing a "fusion of horizons" which guaranteed him the large audience which he has continued to enjoy in Japan since the end of the war

Full textThe Vichy air force was expected to disappear by the armistice conventions. However, the mers el-kebir and the dakar affairs brought it a temporary survival as hitler wanted france to keep a capacity to maintain its neutralism in Africa against the english and the Gaullist attacks. During the 1940-1942 years, the French air force slowly increased its power going through three phases of rearmament due to the military collaboration projects decided first at Montoire, then by the Paris protocols and the Saint Florentin meeting. Fights with allied aircrafts reached their peak with the Syrian affair in may-july 1941 and the allied landings in north Africa on november 8, 1942. Later, the German and Italian armies seized the French aircrafts on the French territory. However, the air force did not disappear but survived as an air defence army tightly controlled by the luftwaffe. At the liberation, after a hasty purge, this air force without planes was amalgamated to the French air force coming from north Africa and together participated to the victory combats. To study the Vichy air force gives elements to understand the Franco-German military relations during the occupation. Most of the all, it allow to better apprehend the adhesion mechanisms to the French state and to its policy of collaboration. The systematic exploitation of the historic department of the French air force archives and of more than two hundred recorded interviews shows how much the idea of collaboration, mainly in the military sector, was concealed by a revenge speech, and even by some underground actions maintaining the illusion of a double game until the end
Joubert, Marie-Agnès. "La Comédie-Française sous l'occupation (1940-1944)." Paris 10, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA100169.
Full textSeptember 1940: the Comedie-Française reopens in an occupied Paris. Jacques Copeau, acting administrator after the forced retirement of Edouard Bourdet, takes on, in particularly agitated times, the delicate task of maintaining as intact as before the prestige of the first national scene. Nevertheless, subject to growing divisions in the company as well as a suspicion from German authorities, he is urged to leave in December 1940. His successor, Jean-Louis Vaudoyer, is designated directly by the members of the society and sets forth highly ambitious projects. After obtaining the promise for a spectacular subsidy increase, he proposes a reform of the board of directors, the general assembly and the stage management. He also reorganizes the troupe and contributes to the creation of “la reine morte” and “le soulier de satin”. The French government provides the Comedie-Française with a material and financial support, almost unconditionally and with a twofold objective: controlling the administrative management and favoring an outstanding artistic life. The theater is also controlled by the German occupier who keeps a permanent eye on the administration and on performed plays. Despite all these restraints, the Comedie-Française progresses in the way of renovation

Full textThe purpose of the thesis is to consider the behaviour of sports association stakeholders (players, managers, spectators) under the régime of the French State, the Occupation and its constraints. Research draws primarily on sources from within the sporting world. During the “dark years”, french sport was doubly penalised : by scarcity and the Occupation (to which it was by its very essence particularly sensitive), as well as by the Vichy régime's will to use it as a tool serving the “National Revolution”. Sport was also a strategic issue for collaborationists. The introduction provides an inventory of sport in 1939. The first part covers activities and representation of sport (heritage conservation, widened participation fostered by the government body responsible for Education and Sport “Commissariat général à l'Éducation générale et aux Sports”, impetus given to women's sports, use of sport to serve the “National Revolution”, supervisory staff as well as the realities of playing sport). The second part deals with the various reactions of the sporting world to attempts to subordinate and constrain it: favourable minority behaviour, or on the contrary, commitment to the Resistance or refusal and majority behaviour determined by an overriding attachment to sport or the search for an area of freedom. The third part (heritage and remembrance) is devoted to the imprint left by the Commissariat's policy (sports infrastructure, forms of play, sporting hierarchies) and to sportspersons' judgement on those in authority

Full textDuring the first forty years of the xx0 century, various french show halls (theatre, variety, universal and colonial exhibitions) welcomed asian, african, oriental and american dancers and allowed a large audience to discover new choregraphic and gestural forms, resolutly different from the codes of the western academic dance. In a context of colonial apogee and industrial progress, these exotic dances became a real source of interest and a lot of passion resulted from this new trend, both for the public and for the dancers who were involved more or less deeply in their practice. Starting from each exotic artist's itinerary, the purpose of this study is to show the history of the discovery of exotic dances, social or theatrical, in france. It will look at the various stages of this discovery, will high light the issue about the process of transfer / adaptation of cultural and choregraphic forms. I will also analyse the speechs made at that time and will assess the impact of this new current on social and artistic dance practices

Full textThe PhD thesis concerns the Allied captivity in Italy in 1940-1943 thanks to many Italian, British, Swiss and Vatican archival sources (the Prisoners of War – henceforth PoWs - concerned are just English speaking PoWs). The thesis is divided into 9 chapters forerun by an Introduction and followed by a Conclusion. In the first chapter, the PoWs’ capture on the African frontline, their detention in the transit camps and the following transfer to Italy are debated. In the second chapter, the topic concerns the Italian, enemy and neutral institutions that dealt with Allied Pows in Italian hands, from the Protecting Power to the International Committee of the Red Cross, to the Italian Commissione interministeriale per i prigionieri di guerra, to the Holy See. In the third chapter, the different types of Italian camps (transit, concentration, working and punishment camps) are reconstructed. In the fourth chapter, the topics are the big problems that PoWs had to face in Italy, above all the hunger, the cold and the sicknesses. In the fifth chapter, the work of the prisoners for their Italian holder, above all in farming, is examined. In the sixth chapter, the PoWS “psychological and moral conditions” are examined by the analysis of their letters home, the suffered discomfort, the relationships with the comrades and the enemies, the attempts to manage the too long captivity. In the seventh chapter, the PoWS’ protests and complaints, the crimes committed by them (in their detaining power opinion) and above all their escapes are examined. The escapes were really “not a sport”, as some interpretation has been narrating for a long period: actually, they caused injuries and deaths among the prisoners, also in Italy. War crimes and violations of the Geneve Convention from the Italian detaining power are the issues of the eighth chapter. The last chapter debates the topic of the prisoners’ exchanges between their holders and the issue of the “big escape” of the Allied Pows after the armistice of September 1943. The general topic of this research, thanks to a big apparatus of archival and biographical sources used comparatively, provides a previously unknown context of events, new for the Italian and for the international historiography.

Full textIn addition to the basic legal system the said “ Etat français ” has had recourse to both administrative and exceptional legal procedures. We will give an overview of the legal procedure of internment that procedure which has concerned the largest number of people- from ist republican origins to ist fall into decay during the “ état milicien ”. During the judgements that came in the wake of the defeat of 1940, this large-scale procedure was used in collaboration with “ exceptional ” court proceedings. In addition to our in-depth study of the sites and procedures used during the 1940 defeat we have also provided a general overview of both the administrative and “ exceptional ” legal procedures created during the Vichy administration. This whole study will provide a better general view of the exceptional politics of repression apparent in France during the occupation

With reference to the words of Petain, Hitler, French artists and art critics, and a variety of artworks, this thesis shows how art was used to propagate the ideology of the Vichy regime.
