Full textMy dissertation concerns the social politics in Great Britain, in the Vichy regime, and in Fascist Italy during World War II. My approach to the topic, however, is not narrowly limited to the war years. It takes into account the path dependence of the previous policies in the three countries, and is open to the further developments of the immediate postwar years. I split my work in three parts, according to methodological and thematic criteria. ln a first part, I provided the overview of the social politics enacted in the three countries from the end of the 19th Century to the outbreak of the war. ln this section, I captured the incremental nature of the social policies, also retracing the specific policy legacy in each country. The very cure of my research, however, dwells in the other two parts. ln section two, I carried out a comparative analysis of the policies implemented during the war, and the draft projects for after the war. This section is split in three chapters, where I scrutinized the social politics in each country, and a conclusive chapter where I crossed the results of my investigation, strengthening its comparative aspects. The third part is a comparative/transnational exploration on the political use of social policy. On the one hand, social policy was exploited to strengthen the home front and gamer domestic political consensus. On the other, the dissemination of information and the propaganda of the postwar social project was also expected to play a not secondary role in the resettlement of the international relations after the war

Full textThis thesis focuses on the history of French elementary school in the middle decade of the twentieth century. School policy is analyzed through the decisions of ministerial and academic administrations along with its daily enforcement in classes, exemplified by numerous monographs of interest. First, the study attempts to untangle the various aspects of school policy under the French State, relying mainly on the words of its enforcers: ministerial officials, schools inspectors and, of course, teachers. It exposes quantitative investigations on the repressive impact of the regime and on the unprecedented financial public support for free education, in addition to a detailed analysis of the Vichy educational reforms. It then depicts the everyday life of primary schools in the context of war and Occupation. The third part chronicles the restoration of republican school over the national territory, and emphasizes the multiple ideological, educational and material challenges it had to face. Based on a large number of original archives, both private and public, this thesis leads to reevaluate the historiographical standpoint on the history of school of this time. Indeed, the 1940s gave birth to reforms and reflections that made this decade of war a time for experiments and intense learning for the generation of professionals who were to shape the school of the second part of the century. It is in this sense that this historical moment may be called a “war class”

Full textThe historical studies undertaken on Vichy and the German Military Administration of occupied France give little attention to the French educational system and its actors. Nonetheless, this period has often been presented as a time of major upheavals for the French society, such as Vichy regime’s new project of society that breaks with the Republican tradition of education enhancement and the German occupiers’ policy of ideological control and transformation of France to integrate the country into a Nazified Europe. The (secondary, vocational and higher) education reform and the youth are both recurring topics in the new regime’ speeches. What was exactly the philosophy guiding this reform and how was it turned into an educational policy? What were the system actors’ perceptions, reactions and practices? Is it possible to measure the impact of this policy? What weight should we give to the circumstances of war and occupation that produced this exceptional situation and occasioned the disorganisation of the system? How did the elements of disruption and continuity combine with the pre-war and post-war policies? How was it intended to conciliate the political will with the extreme constraints linked to the war? This is the overall questioning that originated this thesis.In order to identify what happened while staying true to the facts, a region, the Franche- Comté, was selected for study over an extended period from 1938 to 1947. The purpose was to review how the secondary, vocational and higher education schools of Franche-Comté had evolved over a critical time and how, during this changeover period, was initiated a deep transformation of the education system. These institutions faced a double pressure. On one hand, there was the political context (the war, the German Military Administration and the Vichy regime). The proximity of the Nazified Germany with the region turned it into a strategic area within the German expansionary policy. The region was seriously affected by the war. On the other hand, the education and instruction reforms proliferated as of the pre-war era, failing at taking shape within the institutional reality. The Franche-Comté was an important region for the implementation of the education reforms as some schools were appointed pilots as part of the Jean Zay Reform supported by the French Popular Front, and also within the framework of the Langevin-Wallon Plan. This reformation went on way after the liberation of France, carried by the French Resistance’s program and the will to train new elites while introducing an access to education democratization policy.The purpose of this study is thus to comprehend the evolution of the education daily life in Franche-Comté over different periods, while also highlighting the regional specificities with regards to the organisation and management of the schools and the education provided to the pupils and students, in order to measure the impact of the successive policies on the education society

Full textThe two decades between the First and the Second World Wars were a thriving period for the cultural exchanges between France and Romania. The political situation and the diplomatic orientation of the two countries converged in reinforcing the ties between them. The end of the First World War was marked by the completion of the national unification process in Romania and the creation of a larger territorial entity: the Great Romania. Meanwhile, France, Romania’s main ally, imposed itself in the centre of the continental politics. Started at the end of the 18th century, the cultural relations between the two countries intensified and reached a peak before the Second World War. These relations were built on personal, institutional as well as on State initiatives and they highly benefited from the tightening of the political relations between France and Romania. Concerned about developing their influence, France and Romania financially backed their cultural activity. France, in particular, developed a policy of rayonnement that was supported by the public opinion long drawn to francophilia. Meanwhile, the Romanian presence became more important in Paris: the city attracted Romanian writers and artists. Based on the reading and analysis of the body of the available sources (national archives, diplomatic archives, private archives in both France and Romania), our study aims at reconstituting the intensity and density of the cultural exchanges between France and Romania during the inter-war period

Full textThe first chapter is a presentation of the institute, its history and its mission. It also dwells upon the local French political scene and the relations between France and the Arab world. It also offers a brief overview of the political and social realities of the Arab world.
Chapter two is an introduction to the particularities of the French cultural landscape. It looks at the historical and social movement towards the democratization of culture, specifically through the transformation of the museum and of cultural institutions as a whole.
Chapter three aims at identifying the repercussions of the French cultural policies on the Institute's functioning. The perceived failure of these policies is confronted with the official discourse surrounding the Institute.
Chapter four is a mapping of the different discourses that manifest themselves through the Institute. The multiplicity of the discourses and the discrepancies of their proclaimed objectives are understood to be at the source of the malfunctioning of the Institute.
This thesis does not attempt at finding solutions to the many problems of the Arab World Institute. It is rather an excavation work that aims at bringing forth some of the issues that could be explored while attempting at finding a resolution to the ailments of the Institute.

Full textAfter the 2nd world war, the french society has to deal with new demographic and economic datas. It has to be taken into account by the french education system which should adapt, break down barriers between disciplines and promote intedisciplinary because just school can overcoming social determinism linked at birth. The Amiens’ symposium (1968) lays the foundation for reflection which fed all the thoughts about artistic education. The seventies see the amendment for School and first thinking and experimentations for Culture. Eighties tag an actual opening of school for cultural institutions, the mediation of external partners and new topics. Opening, but also agreement between all the characters. The protocole d’accord signed in April 1983 between ministry of culture and ministry of education and the law about arts education (1988) are the results of an agreement. In the nineties, thinking globally about arts education and on a territory scale seem to be the best way to make work together schools, cultural facilities and to ensure a perfect network coverage, and so to reach cultural democratisation. But actually, we observe a stack of messy contracts. The plan Lang/Tasca which should come true till december 14, 2000, opens a new chapter. But the achievement of that brand new plan is not insured by its decision

Full textThis dissertation aims to explain a policy : how the Chinese and French States employ institutions to develop their foreign cultural policy in the context of globalization. Based on a comparison between China and France, this study has examined the institutionalization of their foreign cultural policy with an analytical framework which integrates three approaches (historical neo-institutionalism, public sociology, and analysis of policy transfer). Firstly, it illustrates how the institutions and specific mode of interference have emerged in China and in France during several centuries by using a socio-historical and neo-institutionalism perspective. It then locates the dynamics of cultural institutions of two countries in the context of contemporary transformations of the State and of the public policy. Therefore, it focuses on the relationship of State to culture and to these institutions, by employing the analytical categories of reengineering State sociology. When it has showed how the cultural institutions take their roots in an historical tradition as well as in a path dependence, this study illustrates that the internal change of the State cultural interventions also impact upon the modalities of international exportation of cultural policy. The theory of policy transfer can help to understand the international diffusion of cultural policy through the role of Confucius Institute and French Alliance, when those cultural institutions are considered as the driver of institutional transfer. Thus, this dissertation demonstrates that the development of a foreign cultural policy should be understand as a dynamic process of co-construction between the State and its institutions, through the interactions of a large range of actors who are subjected to a form of centralized government in the two countries. However, despite their similarities, the mechanisms for regulating cultural policy are different not only in terms of historical trajectories, but also in irreducible visions of cultural policy, as well as according to the different internationalization strategies in a context of globalization
Perlo, Nicoletta. "L'évolution du droit public du cinéma en France et en Italie." Thesis, Aix-Marseille 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011AIX32015/document.
Full textIn the cinema industry, since the early twentieth century, all the Western European countries pursued different objectives within their respective cultural and economical policies. These were based accordingly to their varying systems of government.European cinema public law developed according to three public intervention modalities. These modalities are the following key aspects; film censorship, the promotion of the art and industry of the cinema, and finally cinema market regulation.Currently the cinema is going through important economic and technological transformations. These changes cloud over the law of cinema to such an extent that the necessity of which is being questioned.This thesis means to prove the necessity of state intervention in film to protect cultural diversity, freedom of expression, and underage sensibility in the virtual vehicle of film. This thesis proposes that if State considers these concepts important for a democratic society then it is vitally essential to intervene. In this light, Italy and France are two emblematic countries that are among the first to elaborate a strong articulated public law of cinema. France and Italy have moved from the construction of a common normative model to a framework of radically diverging laws. The comparison between these two countries demonstrates some principal dynamics. The most imperative of these is the permanent need for a common cinema law oriented to the promotion of cinema diversity and the protection of the underage population. Furthermore, this comparison underlines how much the efficacy of public cinema law depends on the legislator’s capacity to interpret the market of cinema and relevant technological transformations and thus, how they are integration into the law. Finally, this Franco-Italian comparison points out that in today’s digital era, the most important public intervention becomes the regulation of the following two base concepts. Regulating the cinema’s market competition is essential in this public intervention. It is equally critical for cinema law to allow equal access to the diffusion of cinematic works in the varying media outlets such as television and the Internet

Full textStudies on French foreign cultural policy, the so-called "soft power", almost always treat the issue from a "top-down" viewpoint focusing on the State policy. The analysis of the governance of French foreign cultural policy through the prism of the field ("bottom-up analysis"), which is the purpose of this research, shows that its center is based on its actors (the "network" abroad and the men who work within it) rather than being formulated by the central Department of the Foreign Office. Foreign cultural policy is a public policy which substance should therefore be valued from local initiatives as well as from speeches and rules: it may then be seen as the setting of cultural activities designed and conducted by the agents of the cultural network abroad. This research is based on a documentary analysis which includes the “grey literature” (internal and parliamentary reports, etc), the press, a specific survey within diplomatic posts and the results of a personal experience

Full textThis PhD dissertation aims to understand and render the “action grammar” of cultural mediation. While the limits of this field are hazy, this work presents a socio-historical definition of this type of activity, the development of which is ascribed to the reframing of the cultural democratization project. This PhD describes the topography of a field crisscrossed by complex and partially contradictory professionalization trends. A large number of mediation devices are observed and analyzed through a double angle: on the one hand, that of the forms, and on the other hand, that of the meaning of these projects. This double questioning unveils problems which are specific to the acknowledgment of mediation projects and to the definition of both the objects that are to be communicated (art works, aesthetical experience, artistic practice) and those at the receiving end (which audiences are targeted?). It also allows us to understand how mediators (educators) construct their activity as a transformation of the relationship to others and to oneself, endowed with meaning and with social and civic usefulness, conveyed by the term “ethics”. This is a contribution to the understanding of subjective processes of work commitment and of the enactment of the relation to values, while shedding light on mediation devices' action mechanisms. The fieldwork was carried out in various settings (performing arts, film, plastic arts) and in different institutions (Théâtre de l’Odéon, Parc de la Villette etc.), associations (CEMÉA, Chroma-Zebrock) or artistic education projects (Ecole au cinéma)

Full textUnlike other regions of the Third World, where the influence of France was decisive and uninterrupted (Middle East, Maghreb, former French colonies in Central Africa and other countries of Latin America), in Venezuela, there was only a real foreign cultural cooperation policy by the late 1950s. The advent of the oil boom during the interwar period caused the declining of French influence. By the end of the Second World War, French diplomats were aware of Venezuela’s energetic potential, remarking that it was possible to overcome the loss of economic influence by encouraging a genuine cultural cooperation.This cultural cooperation would use political networks joined by Francophile elites, who claimed a common history between France and Venezuela. The study on the long run allows observing the permanence of the Venezuelan political history, in which fits the elements used in the construction of the Venezuelan National sentiment and the influence of French ideas on the project of State modernization.Our study raises issues such as migration, trades and commercial relations. We are particularly interested in the study of diplomatic relationships, since a close up over these can highlight, watermark, many points related to their representations and the political history of both countries. Similarly, it allows approaching what the elite considered identity and cultural affinity. Our sources therefore relate mostly to diplomatic correspondence preserved in the files of La Courneuve and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Caracas. We cross checked with other documentaries, visual and literary sources as well as a certain number of interviews conducted by the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011. Our study is based on the papers related to the history of international relations by Pierre Renouvin and Jean Baptiste Duroselle, revisited by Robert Frank in 2011. We take into consideration the contribution of images, official culture and the influence of cultural patterns, as an attempt to measure the "power" of States (soft power). On this matter, the value that the Venezuelan elites gave to the French cultural and scientific influence, in the XIX century and the beginning of XX (1870-1935), helps to explain to an extend the reason why France has managed to strengthen its presence in Venezuela. Indeed, the decline of the French cultural influence, at a time when relations between the two countries were considerably distended (1936-1960), is concomitant with the loss of its economic and commercial influence. This has resulted in the progressive institutionalization of the culturaldiplomacy strategy (from 1961 up to the present). Thanks to this strategy France has recovered part of the market share lost to the Anglo-Saxon competition.We wanted to answer two fundamental questions: To what extent the Venezuelan elites, "influenced" by the French cultural model, managed to operate appropriations / assimilation / adaptation of this model in Venezuela? And, in return, to what extent the construction of a "cultural tool" Franco-Venezuelan has served the interests of the French foreign policy in Venezuela?

Full textThis thesis studies in depth, the origin and the creation of theRegional Contemporary Art Collection (FRAC) between 1981 and 1986. The plan is divided into three main parts. The first part analyses the patterns of acquisitions and eexhibitions, which were models for the formation of the FRAC during the twentieth century in France. The second part examines the commitment of the Ministry of Culture in an ambitious policy that led to the creation of the FRAC after the arrival of the labour party who came to power in 1981. The third part, strictly concerning the history of art, focuses on the collections of the FRAC. This study of the collections has been the core of the research, established from computer data created by Videomuseum, who made a census of all acquisitions. The thesis is also based on archival documents, existing works, an onsite study of each collection of the FRAC, interviews and a literature of artistic media. Included in the labour party’s political program for the presidential elections of May 1981, the FRAC, funded equally by the State and the Regions, is a strong example of the success of a decentralized cultural policy. Between 1983 and March 1986 twenty-one FRAC in activity acquired a total of 5,438 works of art from 1,377 artists.Since the 1960s, the FRAC is an exception in French cultural funding and the result of a desire for democratisation. Until 1986, the continued growth of acquisition loans - offered by the State and regional councils - could lead to the establishment of a formal aesthetic. “Zones of influence" emerged to compensate for absences in the museum collections in the region. However, despite this undeniable institutional investment, public power was not entitled to become a major player in the history of art

Full textThe mode of supervision of public establishments, together with the cooperation conditions, understood on the basis of the classical criteria of administrative law, only allow for an imperfect conduct of the state's cultural policy. The public establishments are an object: The Ministry of Culture establishes relations with these public entities that are on unequal footing and cannot provide a basis for the implementation of a coherent public policy.However, public finances add to the wealth of public law and modify its administrative instruments : the loi organique relative aux lois de finances (Organic Law on Laws of Finance of August 1, 2001) establishes new relations between the state and the entities responsible for the implementation of a public service. The state operator represents the entrance point of a new governance that introduces the notion of performance within national public establishments. Further, new cooperation structures are being put into place that enrich the criteria of public establishments.The fact that performances are contractually defined – and the extension of this system to cooperation structure should be examined – can turn the public establishment into a player in the field of cultural governance: New connections are established, the managers of cultural structures are made accountable. In return, the wider application of this contracting dynamic would provide the state with a unique opportunity to reflect on how to determine and conduct a cultural policy based on these forms of managements

Full textOn the one hand, together with the global disruptions following the end of the bi-polar political system and on the other hand and in close correlation with the considerable extension of the international exchanges, the unprecedented development of the means of communication and the economic globalization (obviously with regard to the cultural field), the end of the 20th century has launched a new deal in international cultural relations which now take on a major meaning which has remained unprecedented. In this new global context, the international cultural relations have set themselves new goals: they now not only aim at the circulation of the national culture towards the international community but also appear as an urgent even vital resistance to the dangerous impact of globalization, thanks to the development of intercultural dialogue and the affirmation of the different cultures.Under the influence of these new objectives, the world states have been forced to review their conception of international cultural policies and improve their national cultural diplomacy.This thesis mainly deals with the international cultural policies of France and Russia and its author focuses on Franco-Russian intergovernmental cultural relations from 1991 until 2004. The study of the renewal of the bilateral cultural relations after the collapse of the Soviet Union aims at answering three sets of questions, from a national perspective but also on bilateral and multilateral relations (Russo-European that is)• What place have the international cultural policies of France and Russia held in the new national conception of foreign affairs in France and Russia? What are the objectives and priorities of France and Russia as regards to international cultural relations? And what are the instruments used by France and Russia for their achievement in the current global context?• What place have cultural bilateral relations taken respectively in the conception of the international cultural policies of both countries? What are the goals and means used in the cultural bilateral cooperation? What are the results of the renewal of bilateral cultural relations? And finally, how can we characterize the contemporary Franco-Russian cultural relations?• What is at stake in the Franco-Russian cultural relations with a view to the evolution of the relation between Russia and the extended European Union? And what are the potential perspectives in their development?

Full textThe cinema was born in France. As art and industry, cinema had ups and downs in France during the period 1981-2012. It faced many internal and external challenges, which gave rise to the crisis of cinema which is recurrent during these thirty-one years. The public authorities, for their part, refer to financial, regulatory and political means to seek to save the national cinema from the crisis, to ensure its survival and to make it prosper. Our historical research, based on archives, thus deals with the context, the springs, the precise measures and the influences of the public policy of the cinema during this crucial period for the French cinema.From the arrival of the left in power in 1981 until the end of the first seven years in 1988, French cinema recorded a drop in attendance, and the radical changes in the French and European audiovisual landscape become a great threat to the cinema. To solve these problems, Jack Lang first led a film reform by implementing anti-trust measures and enriching the film support system. In order to harmonize the relationship between small and big screen, the State, through the laws of 1982 and 1986 on the audiovisual communication, proceeds to a regulation according to which the television must invest in the cinema. At the same time, the French government is trying to export and promote this model of audiovisual and cinematographic policy in Europe and around the world.European and international issues dominate during the next period, from 1988 to 1999, a decade marked by the "cultural exception". If the "cinema plan" put in place by Jack Lang can strengthen the aid scheme, France gives priority to the promotion of this regime in Europe, while defending the interests of the cinema profession in the “Television Directive without borders" and by promoting the creation of audiovisual Eureka, the Eurimages fund and the MEDIA program. During the GATT negotiations in 1993, with the joint efforts of the public authorities and professionals, the audiovisual and cinema file was excluded from the negotiations because "culture is not a commodity like the others". Although this standard is being challenged with the MAI and the WTO round of negotiations in Seattle, France has managed to defend it. In this context, French cinema has seen a revival, especially since the mid-1990s, but imbalances and destabilization remain and the effectiveness of film policy is nuanced.The last phase, from 2000 to 2012, is notably characterized by the acceleration of globalization and the advent of IT. The cinematographic policy, matured during the two preceding decades, must adapt to the new stakes of the new millennium. Generally, French cinema is in an ambivalent situation: on the one hand, it is doing well in many respects, especially in terms of attendance and production, on the other, it is weakened by events in the sector: the appearance of the Unlimited subscription cards, the Vivendi-Universal merger, the piracy ... The State plays a role of "firefighter" by setting up a computer policy and the tax credit and by elaborating the HADOPI law to fight against piracy. Local and regional authorities are investing more and more in the cinema. However, since 2008, in a context of budgetary rigor, the State has been modernizing the CNC and restructuring the aid system, which puts public film policy and French cinema in an uncertain future

Full textLaurence Prempain dedicates her PhD (History) to the study of the Poles and Polish Jews who came to live in Lyon (France) between 1935 and 1945. In the first part, she presents the geographical framework (Lyon), her methodology (Gender approach, microhistory and silence as a source) and her will to understand their voices and place them to the heart of her work. For that purpose, upon the examination of approximately 600 administrative files amassed by the « bureau des étrangers » (préfecture du Rhône), the letters they wrote have been then systematically collected to shed light on their authors’ struggle to live and survive. The historian starts from the postulate that Poles and Polish Jews in France make up a heterogeneous population, only sharing a common citizenship, nonetheless they remain economic, political and war refugees. Thus, once considered welcomed, all Polish nationals are , at their life, considered as unwanted, « indésirables ». Therefore, the second part investigates the processes used by the Third Republic and then the Vichy Regime to get rid of them: expulsions, driving back, exclusions, internments or deportation. Moreover, the author raises the question of the war ends and demonstrates that purges have a gendered dimension, which can be seen as an attempt of reappropriation of the authority. She also focuses on the foreign deportees repatriation’s organisation. Finally, in a third part, she asserts that far from being subjected, these men and women have acted and developped evolutive strategies. Through the letters they wrote, through what is said and what is silenced, she establishes that those strategies are a matter of what she names sidestep and transgression. The first one adapts itself with the limits while the other is deliberately opposed to it. Sidestep and transgression complete each other. It is also showed that to the arbitrary of the richy regime respond strategies more and more transgressive, such as clandestinity, cross borders and resistance.

Full textThis Ph.D dissertation about the theatrical life in Algeria between 1946 and 1962 aims at answering the following questions: what sort of theatrical community managed to develop in Algeria in the context of the gradual disintegration of France’s colonial power? To what extent was it shaped by the political issues and national identity stakes which characterised cross-Mediterranean flows in the aftermath of World War II until Algeria’s independence? After the Liberation, France’s cultural life started renewing. A project of decentralisation was launched to democratise drama and bring it to the general public, led by deputy director of Performing Arts and Music at the Ministry of Education Jeanne Laurent. However France’s overseas territories, and more specifically Algeria, were kept aside of this set of reforms. Between 1946 and 1962, Algeria moved from the status of a colony of refuge – which hosted the French sovereignty during the Occupation – to that of an insurrectionary imperial territory. Cultural life and political and military events were interwoven in this territory which was subjected to the contradictions inherent to its hybrid position as both a national and a colonial space. Therefore this dissertation lies at the heart of three facets of history – political, colonial and cultural history. It is thus organised around three axes of research, aiming at depicting colonial Algeria’s theatrical scene, questioning the existence of a cultural policy dedicated to the Algerian territory, and analysing the politicisation of drama in Algeria in the final years of France’s colonial domination

Full textPrestigious genre, heir to a long tradition, the history painting experiences multiple evolutions throughout the 19th century. Under the Second Empire, for a long time a regime marked by its "black legend", the genre still remained to be defined. Its characteristics fix it deeply in its century, while conferring it an originality : an emanation of the history painting and its transformations in the first half of the century, a precursor of its reformulation under the Third Republic, the history painting under the Second Empire is marked by its singularity. The study of the representations of history painted between 1860 and 1870 is revealing there. Straightaway, the correlation between the creations and the term of "history painting" raises questions. Indeed, while remaining in a classic subject (history), these "paintings on historic subject" get closer alternately to the genre painting and the historic genre, and are contaminated by the realism and the interest in the local colour. If the academic expression of "history painting" still suits for the painting of battle, the latter is also touched by the modernity and transformed into military painting. The approach of the painters of historic subjects presents recurrences. An important preparatory work, on texts, sources, even archaeological discoveries, is put in the service of positivist reconstructions of the events, in order to raise the interest of the public. The choice of the subjects varies according to the intentions: educate the spectator, show an idealised past used as directory of moving scenes, or develop an ideology. Beyond the historicist dimension of education about the national past, these pieces of art show a certain state of the historic thought, the main currents of ideas that influenced the painters. Moreover, the latter convey and spread a conception of history that reaches the contemporary through the press and the illustration, and so they contribute to build the image that will be anchored in the memory. A traditional mean of propaganda and "manufacturing" of the power, the history painting raises the question of the cultural practices of the government of the Second Empire. The instrumentalisation of the image by the State is real, but is restricted to the paintings of battle and of the imperial splendour. Napoleon III, in his acquisition policy, adapts himself to the creations more than he generates them. On the other hand, he exercises an indirect influence: the staging of his person, the imperial couple and its tastes in history, offer a series of themes exploited by the painters. The painting of historic subject is not instrumentalised within the framework of the envois of the State. The local elites play an essential role in the development of this genre: municipalities and Learned societies, town councillors and scholars encourage creations on national or local history. The representation of the history between 1860 and 1870 reveals the essential place of history, in its erudite and popular aspects, on a national and local scale, inspired by the feeling of attachment to the "small homeland" as well as the nation

That’s where foreign communication and public diplomacy counts.This PhD thesis aims at providing another point of view and an answer to the French questioningabout France’s place in the world nowadays.Mainly managed by the French foreign office, foreign communication policies represent the will ofthe government and express its directions more than a French identity.The characteristics of the French tradition of diplomacy and international relations are marked by thespecificity of the Vth Republic.

Full textThe Third Republic enabled French museums to become a place of cultural education similar to that of schools. A national, federated network of museums was established for national collections of art in the early 20th Century, during the rise of provincial museums. The French state sought to display a self-legitimizing, civic-mindedness and to teach lessons of history of the Nation and national heritage to its citizens. More than an institutional history of the rise of provincial museums, this study demonstrates the involvement of the curators of provincial museums in the development of that policy and shows how it led to the creation of an organized profession. Utilizing the report of the parliamentary commission for French museums created in 1905, 263 curators in charge of state sponsored long-term loans were identified and studied. Involved in the safeguarding of patrimony, they belonged to numerous provincial academies and local scholarly societies. At the museum, they provided a local history lesson related to French national history. They had to cope with locally specific issues, particularly financial restrictions and local politics, but succeeded in fashioning a new way of working that was agreed to by ail colleagues in provincial institutions as well as French national museums, such as the musée du Louvre, when museology was created

Full textThis research project aims to analyse the links between drama critique and political commitment, manifest in a number of reviews from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. This investigation focuses on a corpus of articles published in Les Temps Modernes, Esprit and La Quinzaine Littéraire, most often signed by, respectively, Renée Saurel, AlfredSimon, and Gilles Sandier. This critique’s politicisation is most evident in four main areas, namely: its conception of the social function of theatre; in the selected criteria used to analyse performances; in its active involvment in the artistic and intellectual debates of the time; as well as in the very act of critical writing. The particular form of theatre critique emerging from these reviews tends to differ both from the journalistic column and from the scholarly commentary. These reviews’ publishing frequency allows this form of critique toremain topical in regards to contemporary french (and particularly public parisian) theatre; however, these texts also seek to break away from the traditional model of the theatre review and its impressionist mode. This critical movement attempts to explicate its criteria of appraisal by basing itself on the theoretical issues raised by Marxism, brechtism and/or structuralism. In so doing, it opens up its focus to include new controversial areas, such as debates on cultural policies. Despite aknowledging some form of autonomy to aesthetic issues, this critique analyses writing and mise-En-Scène through the lens of political efficiency, as a means to develop a genuine popular theatre. These reviews, considered here both as materialised spaces for intellectual debate and as objects of symbolic authority, become fertile loci in which to foster a new form of critique aiming to combine the development of theoretical frameworks with political commitment
Bordier, Julien. "Le musée national entre principe républicain et question démocratique." Thesis, Paris 10, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA100028/document.
Full textAs a revolutionary invention, art museum opened to the public in France is an institution that offers a contradictory space, in different levels: in the conflicts of the origins of the museum, in the validation of its relation of an institutionalized power, in the conceptualization of its public dimension. Mixing the particular history of this institution with an evolution of political issue, is a way to name these contradictions. This highlights a tension between two antagonistic poles, but in a constant dialogue, republican principle and democratic question. This conflictual dialogue has to be understood as an identification process and its crisis. This tension appears relevant to analyze national museums and cultural Policy during the french Fifth Republic. Therefore, national museum seems to be a republican institution and how “cultural democratization” enunciate itself with democratic question. From these reflexions, evolution of national museums and cultural Policy since 2000, and, the large amendments they know, are analyzable. Amendment of national museums presents itself as a modernization of their management and administration, by alleviating their ministerial tutelage. We analyze these amendments effects from two examples, Louvre and Orsay museums, by studying legislative dispositions, public statements of their directorate and interviews with employees in the museums. After this amendment movement has been contextualized and defined, it is analyzed from the tension between republican principle and democratic question. It is reconfigured and shifted in a new kind of museum appearing: company-museum
Wagener, Noé. "Les prestations publiques en faveur de la protection du patrimoine culturel." Thesis, Paris 11, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA111007.
Full textThe thesis has made the methodological choice of reducing the action of the State for the protection of cultural heritage to a simple series of "services". Taking the neoliberal perspective literally, it intends to study all State interventions in this area, regardless of the shapes they assume (enactment of regulation and provision of services). In doing so, the scientific challenge of the thesis is to get to determine why the State acts in cultural heritage, and more specifically why it acts in a certain way rather than another. This functional interrogation, rarely asked by lawyers in France, is of interest as it questions the particular ways in which specific categories of law help to produce - much more than to describe - the choice of a particular cultural heritage protection. Thus, the diachronic observation of services, since the French Revolution, shows that on multiple occasions, these services have found, in all seriousness, their source outside the State, specifically in a community right. Also, beyond a progressive etatization process (which is not in itself very original), a complex reversal of the relation of the State to the society emerges : during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the State frees itself from the society, helped by a massive work of doctrinal reconceptualizations. It is only between World War I and World War II, after the failure of theories of social law, that the legal explanation of State services for the protection of cultural heritage is finally locked in the antagonism between the authority of the State and fundamental rights

Full textFor more than thirty years, cultural involvement by cities has developed constantly and has spread across the nation. Facilities and projects have multiplied and appropriate political delegations have been created regularly: culture is a sector that has widely benefitted from the dynamism driven by decentralization.At the same time, local political models have developed with the rise in power of “territory projects”, encompassing difference sectors including culture within an overall political framework. Although it can scarcely be found within these policies, an idea as large and polymorphic as “culture” has naturally changed form.From that moment, many questions arise. What space do collectivities make for the heritage of the French cultural policy “invented” in 1959? Between adhering to and opposing the national model, how are local cultural policies constructed? Finally, what does culture “do” for local elected official, who are usually far removed from political networks and cultural federations of elected officials and who can only rely on their experience and their territory to appropriate their delegation? This appropriation of the notion of culture is what this work will explore, using tools of the sociological corpus of the organizations.The narrative of elected officials of culture will be put into perspective along with the narrative of other cultural stakeholders, but also in the sociological corpus of culture in France, and more widely, in the notion of culture to be found in human science.This confrontation will aim at observing the process of “entering into culture” by local elected officials, the construction of convictions, political alignment of objectives and expected results, which are sometimes far from the most expected representations but which require the full attention of cultural stakeholders. Through situations and through these procedures, different facets of the notion of culture will appear and will help us, for lack of a single definition, observe what the notion of culture initiates in French local politics

Full textOur thesis aims to examine the promotion of the American military presence in France from 1944 to 1967. After World War II, as the world was slowly drifting into the Cold War, the outcome of the political and ideological confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was still uncertain. In 1949, France took part in the foundation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Its participation in NATO led to the return of US soldiers, the GIs, to French territory. Their return was accompanied by an unprecedented cultural policy, implemented both at the institutional level and in the day-to-day lives of French citizens. How and why did the diplomatic circles and the military establishment feel the need to develop a strategy to promote the US military presence in France? How were the advertisement campaigns conceived by the US information services in France (USIS-France) in order to develop a relationship between civilians and the military? What image did the French and the Americans have of this military presence on French soil? Based on journalistic, archival and field studies, our work shows that Washington’s cultural policy was “parabellicist,” aiming deliberately to keep both the French and the Americans on a war footing. This notion, derived from Jacques Ayencourt’s work in 1946, appropriately characterizes American cultural policy conduct from the arrival of the first GIs in 1944 until the last battalions departed in 1967

Full textOur research operates within the framework of cultural management, adopting both its theorical and practical approach. Today more than ever questions on visitors and institutions’ social responsibilities are crucial (Donnat, 2010; Eidelman, Roustan, 2007; Mairesse, 2010b; Tobelem, 2013). Audience research as a systematic gathering of information about visitors’ experience was born in response to a request for cultural planning improvement and learning experience enhancement. This demand has therefore given a significant boost to the modernisation of visitor-institution relationship, with with a keen eye both on publicly supported cultural democratisation and on specific profit-driven cultural marketing strategies. Still, we cannot help but ask what role do visitors play? How do we evaluate them? How can we use this evaluation? In order to keep consistent with the present debate about visitor studies importance, we’ve developed our research project as a contribution to raise awareness about visitor studies in modern and contemporary art museums. We conducted a comparative study between two very effective examples, such as French and Spanish national contexts. Our research is based on a solid empirical approach, with a mixture of investigation methods focusing on quality and quantity. Our surveys explore the behaviour of professionals from institutions involved and feature interviews to thoroughly investigate specific issues that arose during the survey itself. Our research aims to contribute to the discussion about consequences and limits of visitor studies, not only speaking of museums, but also analysing the influence these studies could have on cultural management social dynamics. We concluded that the use of visitor research is however far from reaching structural cohesion, even in the French case, where a more established legitimation of these instruments should suggest an important difference in approaching the subject. Getting involved in the way information and data about current and potential visitors are used for program and administrative decision-making, we’ve come through a very heterogeneous set of responses by institutions and their members. We’ve observed very different reactions, with lots of pivotal variables and meanings, involving management and functional structures, ideals, social goals and marketing strategies. We’ve come through a sum of uncertain elements driving institutional strategies on the whole as well as they influence individual behaviour.

Full textThe study of newly released films from the ‘South’ opens up interesting new perspectives for research in cinema studies. These films not only inform us about international relations, public policy and the art house cinema market in France but have also led to some original conclusions.This thesis is based on a study of 430 long feature films released in France between 1990 and 2007 from Subsaharan Africa, the MENA region, Iran, Central Asia, Asia and Latin America. In this dissertation, we propose:- an analysis of the construction of cultural diplomacy in the context of bilateral and multilateral foreign politics. This treatment operates at the levels of French and European politics and examines the place of cinema with respect to the agencies that finance film production [Fonds Sud, HBF, ACPFILMS…] as well as the larger context of external funding for audio-visual productions in general;- an assessment of the construction of public policy concerning film, with an examination of the successive strategies for coping with professional activities and the market. Here, we examine industrial relations and cooperative decision making as well as the reflections concerning the conception of cultural activity and, above all, art house cinema as a project, movement and system then later as a specialist form of production and distribution;- a study of the trajectories of a selected group of film cultures from the south. This study turns around two issues; the purported symmetry between the market of the country where the film is made and the French market as measured by production statistics [China, Iran, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico] and the question of ‘small cinemas’ [Tunisia, Lebanon, Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa]

Conceived in tribute to the research of artist Jean Dubuffet, the collection – which was given to the Modern Art Museum of Villeneuve-d’Ascq in 1999 ― is a rare attempt to establish art brut’s legitimization and legacy. This PhD – story of an association, a collection process and a collection – reconsiders the origin and development of the L’Aracine project and casts a light on the amateurs whose role was to establish this 20th century patrimony

Full textThe Marais district is today a subject of various representations. For public authorities and heritage institutions, it is a protected area ; in the eyes of certain associations, it is a neighborhood whose heritage still needs to be preserved, beyond the attention than public policies apply to it; for inhabitants and communities, it is a constitutive part of their identity; finally, in the perception of tourist and commercial actors, it is the second most visited Parisian neighborhood by tourists and leisure visitors. This contemporary perception of Marais heritage is a result of a long process. In the early twentieth century, the urbanization projects and decisions of landlords were threatening the private mansions that are today promoted as (the most) important heritage of the district. During the Second World War the project of the area 16, one of the unsanitary Parisian areas, was risking to cause the demolition of the entire sector. The first plan for the preservation and valorization of the Marais, whose elaboration began in 1965, as well as its implementation through rehabilitations, prescribed not only the demolition of buildings of the 19th and 20th centuries, but also planned a relocation of an important number of commercial, industrial and craft facilities. It also aimed the creation of an important tourist and cultural place, a fashionable district. On the other hand, the new 2013 Plan of the Marais aims not only to protect 19th and 20th century buildings, but also to control the effects of gentrification and touristification. Several times through the history of Marais heritage, the civil society triggered the preservation and valorization of the neighborhood. The aim of this thesis is to question this long transition, from the late nineteenth to the early twentyfirst century, by examining the “major chapters” of the heritagization of the Marais. In order to do so, it highlights the main actors involved in the process of heritagization of the neighborhood in the studied period – especially public authorities, cultural institutions, associations, residents, as well as tourism and commercial actors. It intends to shed light on the ways and reasons through which they interpret and transmit the neighborhood’s heritage, and how they influence its preservation. Finally, the thesis intends to question the relationship between the different perceptions of the Marais that these actors create
Chateigner, Frédéric. ""Education populaire" : les deux ou trois vies d'une formule." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012STRAA031.
Full textThe set phrase "éducation populaire" has been especially successful in French public discourses since the 1990s. We intend to analyze this lexical comeback. The past life of the phrase can be divided in two cycles, each of them composed of successive phases of emergence, consecration and decline, and revolving around an interpretation of the phrase as a quasi-category. It starts as a subcategory of "Instruction publique" from the French Revolution to the 1930s, then becomes a category detachedfrom schooling but linked with competing phrases, and is soon discarded by these ones as a mythical ancestor. The last years witness a new, yet uncertain phase of emergence which defines "éducation populaire" as a form of radical political education or as a repoliticization of cultural policies. This new use, however, is competing with the remobilization of traditional movements. It also reintroduces the school-rooted practices which had been previously discarded

Full textPhotography in France, after a long period of silent accumulation in public cultural institutions, became the object of specific collecting in the second half of the twentieth century. This had a bearing on its status. From the late 1930s onwards, curators in the print cabinet of the Bibliothèque Nationale in a process of re-evaluation at last came to consider the photograph as an object for collection. They set out therefore on a daring collection program with a double focus: documentation and artistic quality. With this the BN declared its ambition to become the leading museum of photography in France. Alongside documentary photographs, which remain a priority, conservatorial interest centered on both large groups of 19th century photographs intended to inaugurate a history of photography modeled on art history, and on contemporary creators. This was a pioneering, and durable approach, but insufficient for a recognition of photography as a national art. Some forty years later, in 1976, the secretariat of Cultural Affairs took over questions concerning photography. But the four ministerial branches concerned by photography reacted in an unequal manner. In a photographic environment evolving towards a cultural orientation, national collections were initiated at the Fondation National de la Photographie, Lyon (FNP), in the Musée National de I' Art Contemporain (MNAM), at the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain (FNAC) and at the Musée d'Orsay. At last photography was recognized as an art. During the 1980s, thanks to the combined effect of the City of Paris, 'Month of the photo', and the favorable policy towards contemporary art of Jack Lang's ministry, one of the major artistic events of the late 20th century took place: photography entered the realm of the plastic arts

Full textThis research looks at the use of historical analogies concerning the Mediterranean in the political speeches of top foreign-policy decision-makers in France, Spain and Italy since the Barcelona Declaration of 1995. In spite of the consistent and formulaic appearance of such references to the past, their meaning shifted as political interests changed. This evolution took place in the midst of an unsolvable contradiction. While political leaders have largely presented the Mediterranean as the birthplace of civilization, and as such, as a region capable of regenerating the world by example, at the same time, conflict between cultural blocs has been perceived as the defining feature of Mediterranean history. The very basis of discourse, then, made it difficult for leaders to provide a historical ground for the stated political goals of cultural inclusiveness and regional cohesion. Analysis reveals, on the contrary, that historical narrative contributed to a progressive withdrawal of political dialogue, which ultimately entailed the waning of the multilateral framework itself as the Arab Spring unfolded.

Full textAntonin Proust (1832-1905), political figure, friend of the artists, historian, critic and salonnier, played an important political and cultural part. The life of this liberal republican is a plea for the protection of arts in the service of the Republic. He connects economic structure with artistic institutions and constantly advocates the useful arts. His aim is economic: to train artists in the service of the industry. He creates art schools and encourages the introduction of design at school. As budget rapporteur, he supports the protection and the development of arts. The unification of the arts which he advocates results in the creation of the ministry of the Arts. Advocate of the heritage, he takes part in the foundations of the Musée de sculpture comparée, of the musée des Arts décoratifs, and founds the École du Louvre to train curators. Buying for the State the works of Millet, Courbet and Manet, he promotes rebellious artists, unruly to the Academy of fine arts, and emerges as a partisan of controversial works. Organizing exhibitions to the glory of Courbet or Manet, he advocates boldness, individuality, freedom and naturalisme. Real artistic, industrial and political propaganda, the World Fair of 1889 which he organizes concretizes his ambitions. He gathers fine arts and useful arts. The Art Nouveau takes root there to blow up in 1900. His successes did not allow Proust to enter the history, but his action bore fruits in the sustainability of the structures he defended the foundation of or in the boom of craft arts and of the art market

Full textThe peace treaty signed at Trianon in 1920 reduced by two-thirds the territory and population of defeated Hungary, thus creating a French-Hungarian diplomatic crisis. Might this strife had an impact on French language teaching and on the way French culture was depicted in textbooks? Actually, in 1924, a secondary education reform provided the possibility to learn English, French and Italian besides compulsory German. The result is a huge rise of French language in secondary schools. This rise and also the creation of the first French bilingual school show how influent French culture was in the country and how French diplomats in Budapest supported the reform in spite of limitative instructions from Foreign Office in Paris. Eötvös College, created in 1895 on the model of French Ecole Normale Supérieure, played also a decisive role in French teachers’ training and in the growth of a French-speaking elite. The german Kulturkunde approach, aimed to study the “mind or esprit of a nation” in teaching literature, penetrates into Hungarian educational circles. Hungarian teachers welcomed this new approach but expressed reserves about possible nationalistic drifts. The analysis of French textbooks shows that the authors applied Kulturkunde by making a strict distinction between politics and culture and by associating it with the humanist and universal values conveyed by French culture, in accordance with the francophile tradition of the Hungarian intellectual elite. The balanced and kind attitude of the Hungarian teachers, some of whom had to suffer personally from the political situation between France and Hungary, shows that individual choices can transcend political contingencies and methodological drifts

This thesis examines the role of law in contemporary memory politics relating to the Algerian war, colonialism and the Vichy government in France. The Algerian war replaced Vichy in the first decade of the 21st century as the major memory preoccupation of French society. In this thesis I explore the involvement of trials, memory laws and restitution cases in the construction of the French colonial and Vichy past as injustices and crimes on the one hand, and as a source of national pride on the other. Law in this thesis is understood as a tool for memory groups, a forum in which conflicting interpretations about the past are articulated, and a narrative activity that shapes collective memory. I argue that civil society actors, victims and human rights organisations in particular, use law and human rights norms in particular, as tools in battles over the meaning of the past. Law offers publicity and official recognition of narratives that have been previously marginalised. Through legal interventions memory groups seek to bring to light the breaches of republican values by the French state, for example the involvement of the Vichy government in the persecution of Jews during the Occupation and the use of torture practiced by the French military during the Algerian war. The emergence of these narratives within the realm of law challenges the official French national self-identification that has for a long time claimed a particular relationship with universalism, anchored in and symbolised by human rights and the notion of citizenship. Also international law recognises and clings to the idea of universalism. International law purports to reflect universal values allegedly serving the interest of all. However, the growing focus on global justice can in practice imply that particular states or institutions use international law as a hegemonic instrument. Despite this, international law is also a potential tool of empowerment for victims and previously excluded groups. Beyond the French case, this thesis addresses the potential of law in efforts of nations to ‘come to terms’ with their pasts and considers what critical working through the past might imply, apart from, or even instead of legal memory politics.

Full textOur thesis aims to examine the promotion of the American military presence in France from 1944 to 1967. After World War II, as the world was slowly drifting into the Cold War, the outcome of the political and ideological confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was still uncertain. In 1949, France took part in the foundation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Its participation in NATO led to the return of US soldiers, the GIs, to French territory. Their return was accompanied by an unprecedented cultural policy, implemented both at the institutional level and in the day-to-day lives of French citizens. How and why did the diplomatic circles and the military establishment feel the need to develop a strategy to promote the US military presence in France? How were the advertisement campaigns conceived by the US information services in France (USIS-France) in order to develop a relationship between civilians and the military? What image did the French and the Americans have of this military presence on French soil? Based on journalistic, archival and field studies, our work shows that Washington’s cultural policy was “parabellicist,” aiming deliberately to keep both the French and the Americans on a war footing. This notion, derived from Jacques Ayencourt’s work in 1946, appropriately characterizes American cultural policy conduct from the arrival of the first GIs in 1944 until the last battalions departed in 1967
