Disability history in France
What is disability? How might a focus on disability as a category of human experience change the way we think and write about the French past? In this roundtable seven historians discuss the emergence of disability studies in France, assessing the continued relevance of classics in the field as well as new directions in research. Scholarly attention to disability, the contributors argue, has the potential to transform modern French historiography…
From Collaboration to Resistance
The divergence concerning the treatment of autism in France developed out of the different narratives within autism literature. Psychoanalytic texts defined the treatment of autism beginning in the 1950s, with the participation of parents in the treatment of their children a central aspect of the narrative. These examples identified the parents as culprits in the appearance of autism, which was an accepted convention. However, by the late 1960s, …
La Langue Universelle
s remark that music is the universal language of mankind does not apply well to French musical culture. There musical culture has often had a particular accent, whether in the spectacular performances at the eighteenth-century Opra and the nineteenth-century Philharmonie de Paris, in the mundane, quotidian voices of twentieth-century buskers and radio broadcasts, or in twenty-first-century streaming platforms such as Deezer. Even though opera is …
Les Enfants Perdus
Following the deaths of fourteen children at a children’s residential facility in Froissy in November 1968, a moment of national interest in France in the challenges facing disabled children led parents’ associations to press for systemic reform. Concomitantly, social critiques following the protests of May 1968 focused on poor institutional conditions as evidence of society’s failures. Though government inquiry into the incident placed the blame…
J oseph B ohling . The Sober Revolution
The association between France and wine has a long history, but many of the ideas associated with the traditions of wine, including the system of designation that identifies the specific origins of the grapes used to make wine, only recently developed in response to the efforts of reformers, the process of decolonization, and the pressures of European integration. In The Sober Revolution: Appellation Wine and the Transformation of France, Joseph …
The Enduring Fortress
This article examines how the work of Bruno Bettelheim remained influential in debates concerning the meaning of autism as well as its treatment in France well after it was marginalized in the United States. The persistence of Bettelheim's work among French audiences speaks to how the French understanding of autism diverged from its conception in the United States thanks to the social and cultural interest in psychoanalysis in French society and …
Reinventing Play
In postwar France, the definition of play helped to situate the meaning of childhood in a manner that marginalized disabled children from the common understanding of childhood. Three thinkers—Françoise Dolto, Maud Mannoni, and Fernand Deligny—all advocated more nuanced and open definitions of play that allowed for the recognition of disabled children’s forms of play, which often operated outside of social norms. In their practices, each of these …
Sex and the Girl's Single
E v E n t h E m o s t c a s u a l o b s E r v E r of recent popular culture is well aware of the phenomenon of the sex-saturated innocence of celebrity girl singers. They are but recent examples of the evocative relationship between young women and sexuality in pop music in the second half of the twentieth century. young female singers in France in the 1960s—called copines, perhaps best translated “gal pals”—were similarly thrust into the spotlig…
Nazi Rock
The phenomenon of the mode rétro, the cultural fascination with the Occupation, has been examined exclusively through its examples in literature and film. Examples in popular music, however, offer insight into the nuances of the mode rétro and critical responses to it. This article analyses the work of Serge Gainsbourg and several French punk bands to illustrate how they appropriated the mode rétro to critique French artists' revisionism of the h…
The Pot Head Pixies
The work of musical group Gong illustrates the connection be-tween drugs and utopian thought following the failure of the protests of 198. In their lyrics and interviews, Gong suggested the transformative and revolutionary power of drug use to overturn Western society. More than a political statement, drug use was preached as a method of mental liberation. The band’s promotion of psychedelics and marijuana connect-ed with many of the ideas operat…
