Fatal Isolation: The Devastating Paris Heat Wave of 2003
Scholars of natural disasters willingly accept the premise that there is nothing ‘natural’ about them. Disaster studies have long established that the extensive human devastation caused by various ‘acts of God’ is largely the product of social causes in the midst of extreme circumstances. Until recently, historians have been reluctant to examine these episodes, leaving them to sociologists, epidemiologists and geographers searching for broader pa…
Andy Fry. Paris Blues: African American Music and French Popular Culture, 1920–1960
Many studies have analyzed the history of African Americans in France, often by investigating jazz music and other expressions of black American popular culture. Scholars have used the reception of jazz in particular as a window into understanding the intersection of race, national identity, cultural exchange, globalization, and artistic creation both within the French context and as a case study for understanding broader diasporic themes. Buildi…
Envisioning Disaster in the 1910 Paris Flood
This article uncovers the visual narratives embedded within the photography of the 1910 Paris flood. Images offered Parisians multiple ways to understand and construe the significance of the flood and provided interpretive frameworks to decide the meaning of this event. Investigating three interlocking narratives of ruin, beauty, and fraternité, the article shows how photographs of Paris under water allowed residents to make sense of the destruct…
Solidarism in the City Streets: La Société protectrice contre les excès de l'automobilisme and the Problem of Traffic in Early Twentieth-Century Paris
By examining the case of La Société protectrice contre les excès de l'automobilisme, an early twentieth-century anti-automobile advocacy group composed of attorneys, this article explores how Parisians reacted to the changes wrought by the introduction of automobiles into the city streets. Cars were dangerous, and many believed they threatened to turn public thoroughfares into the private preserve of drivers whose speed changed the ways in which …
It's So French! Hollywood, Paris, and the Making of Cosmopolitan Film Culture
Histories of European film in the 1950s and 1960s frequently highlight the struggle against Americanization, but Vanessa R. Schwartz provides a compelling alternative narrative and an important new way of thinking about a global popular culture. Whereas others emphasize competing artistic visions rooted in nationalism, she sees international cooperation and a Hollywood-Paris connection as crucial to the development of a “cosmopolitan film culture…
Artistic Community and Urban Development in 1920s Montmartre
By the 1920s, the physical transformation in the urban space of Montmartre led two groups of artists to "secede" from the city of Paris, at least in spirit. Calling themselves the Commune Libre de Montmartre and the République de Montmartre, these painters, illustrators, poets, writers, and musicians articulated a distinctive community-based identity centered around mutual aid, sociability, and limiting urban development. They also reached out to…
