Why No War in French Comics? The Trente Glorieuses and Redrawing of the Second Thirty Years War
Ici et par toute la terre
This article begins with the recommendations of the Leathes Report of 1916 in connection with the internationalisation of language study and the reasons why the ideal of transnational mobility was slow to take root in language departments in the UK. It examines how the provision of safe, secure and affordable accommodation for women students was an effective counter to alarmist stay-at-home tales. And it looks at how feminist educators campaigned…
Sylvia Beach and women’s scholarly communities under Occupation
In 1939 Madeleine Blaess, a languages graduate, left her home in England for Paris to begin doctoral research at the Sorbonne. Unable to escape Paris before the German invasion in spring 1940, she was trapped in France for the duration of the war. The letters she wrote to her parents during the Phoney War, and the diary she began in October 1940 and continued until after the Liberation, are a fascinating account of her life as a postgraduate scho…
Mental distress under Occupation
Madeleine Blaess, a British doctoral student studying at the Sorbonne, was trapped in Paris, unable to return home to York for the duration of the Occupation. In October 1940 she began a diary which she kept diligently until September 1944. This unique testimony written from the perspective of a British student at liberty to roam wartime Paris, focuses more on the civilian struggle through the everyday than on the political and military situation…
Pilote ‘hebdomadaire’ and the Teenager Bande Dessinée of the 1950s and 1960s
Launched in 1959, Pilote magazine was an original bande dessinée publication. Unlike most other magazines read predominantly by children, Pilote's unique collaboration with Radio Luxembourg facilitated its recruitment of ‘teenager’ readers captivated by the transistor craze that had rejuvenated radio by the end of the decade. The magazine also sought to endear itself to parents and the increasingly powerful educationalist lobby by adopting a sobe…
Terrain de lutte
This article traces the development of women's football in France in the context of the evolving political and social status of women over the course of the 1920s and 1930s. It specifically examines football alongside women's broader struggle for social, political and sexual emancipation. In the early 1920s, football was championed by the French feminist movement. Subservient not to men but to a team ethic, robust female players rebutted the myth…
Marions-nous! Gay Rites
This article focuses on the current political debate surrounding the campaign for the legalisation of gay marriage in France. The article examines why, in a political climate generally opposed to this campaign, the marriage debate has nevertheless served to raise the profile of gay and lesbian rights in France generally. The tabling in June 2004 of anti-homophobic legislation and a hurried reassessment of the PaCS can be seen as progressive initi…
