Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fondatrice de l'Institut des Oblates du Coeur de Jésus en plein milieu du XIXe siècle, Louise-Thérèse de Montaignac (1820-1885) aimait à dire que "l'oblate est la carmélite du monde". Femme instruite, aisée et priante, de santé fragile mais très active et déterminée, elle a donné un témoignage de liberté par rapport à l'argent et au pouvoir en choisissant d'être du côté des pauvres, spécialement des orphelins. Le charisme des Oblates, c'est "Etre au coeur du monde témoins de l'amour, faire connaître aux hommes le Dieu de toute tendresse". L'Eglise a reconnu en Louise-Thérèse, lors de sa béatification, l'une des femmes les plus courageuses et entreprenantes pour l'expansion de la dévotion au Sacré Coeur. Elle reste un exemple lumineux qui laisse entrevoir ce que peut faire une femme pour le bien de l'Eglise et du monde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un recueil de textes commentés pour découvrir ou redécouvrir la pensée chrétienne à travers l'un de ses guides. Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux (1873-1897) est un phare dans la vie de très nombreuses personnes. Elle entre au Carmel à l’âge de 15 ans et 3 mois par accord exceptionnel de son évêque. En elle, l’Esprit Saint a tracé un chemin d’authenticité – « Je n’ai jamais cherché que la vérité » – qui lui a révélé les profondeurs de l’amour trinitaire et une « voie » pour y parvenir. Tout est venu de la vie, des événements quotidiens relus à la lumière de la Parole de Dieu. Patronne mondiale des Missions, patronne secondaire de la France, elle a été proclamée docteur de l’Église par Jean-Paul II en 1997. Son apport incomparable est un retour à l’Évangile dans sa pureté radicale. « Si vous ne redevenez pas comme des petits enfants, vous n’entrerez pas dans le Royaume des Cieux » (Matthieu 18,3). Se ressourcer et apprendre pendant quinze jours en compagnie d'un maître spirituel. EXTRAIT Pourquoi le chemin de Thérèse ne serait-il pas aussi le nôtre ! Marcher en tenant la main de qui nous conduit, pour prendre peu à peu de l’assurance, pour s’entraîner sur la route de la sainteté qui est chemin d’amour. N’est-il pas vrai que « Le Père nous a choisis dans le Christ pour être saints et sans péché devant sa face, grâce à son amour » (Ep 1,4) ? Il « nous a réconciliés avec lui pour nous introduire, en sa présence, saints » (Col 1,22). Le Dieu qui est toute sainteté nous veut saints, à son image, pour nous introduire en son royaume de sainteté, au terme du chemin. Thérèse de Lisieux a senti résonner en elle le désir de la sainteté. Elle l’a laissé se développer en son cœur , jusqu’à faire de toute sa vie une offrande d’amour. Comme un tout-petit, elle a aimé dans la confiance. Comme un tout-petit, elle s’est laissé aimer.

Download or read book Tourism and Colonization in Indochina 1898 1939 written by Aline Demay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Direct flights to former imperial capitals, continued visits to the same tourist sites, and the emergence of tours dedicated to the imperial past all pose the question of the heritage of tourism in the former colonies. Lesser-known as a field of research, the study of tourism in colonial situations has begun to impose itself over the past decade as an important issue. Interestingly, in the colonial era, tourism was one element of the policies used by the colonial power to highlight its colony. The use of tourist activities for political ends was first confirmed in an October 2 1922 circular composed by the Minister of the Colonies, Albert Sarraut. This circular required all French overseas territories to organize and develop the tourism sector because, along with its economic benefits, “the tourist of today can be the colonist of tomorrow”. This theme, along with knowledge related more specifically to tourism – such as the creation of sites and tours, and the background of tourists – also contributes to sanitary, environmental, and planning questions, as well as issues concerning the construction of national sentiment. How did tourism develop in a territory during the period of colonial expansion? How are tourism and colonization related? What connections can be found between the two? Using archives and tourist publications, this book marks an unprecedented work of research into the enactment of tourism in Indochina. It places the establishment of tourism in this former French colony along with the tourism policies of Metropolitan France and the attempts to reproduce the organizations established in the Dutch East Indies and in Japan. The book, which focuses on events in the period from the turn of the twentieth century to the eve of the Second World War, analyses the transfer of European tourism practices to Indochina, their establishment, their integration with policies of valorisation in the 1920s, their spatial consequences, and the communication established by the state to promote Indochina as a tourist destination for both Indochinese and foreign tourists.
Download or read book Imperial Heights written by Eric T. Jennings and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-04-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as a reminder of Europe for soldiers and clerks of the empire, the city of Dalat, located in the hills of Southern Vietnam, was built by the French in an alpine locale that reminded them of home. This book uncovers the strange 100-year history of a colonial city that was conceived as a center of power and has now become a kitsch tourist destination famed for its colonial villas, flower beds, pristine lakes, and pastoral landscapes. Eric T. Jennings finds that from its very beginning, Dalat embodied the paradoxes of colonialism—it was a city of leisure built on the backs of thousands of coolies, a supposed paragon of hygiene that offered only questionable protection from disease, and a new venture into ethnic relations that ultimately backfired. Jennings’ fascinating history opens a new window onto virtually all aspects of French Indochina, from architecture and urban planning to violence, labor, métissage, health and medicine, gender and ethic relations, schooling, religion, comportments, anxieties, and more.

Download or read book Phantasmatic Indochina written by Panivong Norindr and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reflection on colonial culture argues for an examination of "Indochina" as a fictive and mythic construct, a phantasmatic legacy of French colonialism in Southeast Asia. Panivong Norindr uses postcolonial theory to demonstrate how French imperialism manifests itself not only through physical domination of geographic entities, but also through the colonization of the imaginary. In this careful reading of architecture, film, and literature, Norindr lays bare the processes of fantasy, desire, and nostalgia constituent of French territorial aggression against Indochina. Analyzing the first Exposition Coloniale Internationale, held in Paris in 1931, Norindr shows how the exhibition's display of architecture gave a vision to the colonies that justified France's cultural prejudices, while stimulating the desire for further expansionism. He critiques the Surrealist counter-exposition mounted to oppose the imperialist aims of the Exposition Coloniale, and the Surrealist incorporation and appropriation of native artifacts in avant-garde works. According to Norindr, all serious attempts at interrogating French colonial involvement in Southeast Asia are threatened by discourse, images, representations, and myths that perpetuate the luminous aura of Indochina as a place of erotic fantasies and exotic adventures. Exploring the resilience of French nostalgia for Indochina in books and movies, the author examines work by Malraux, Duras, and Claudel, and the films Indochine, The Lover, and Dien Bien Phu. Certain to impact across a range of disciplines, Phantasmatic Indochina will be of interest to those engaged in the study of the culture and history of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos, as well as specialists in the fields of French modernism, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, and comparative literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tells the darkly humorous story of the French colonial state's failed efforts to impose its vision of modernity upon the colonial city of Hanoi, Vietnam. This book offers a case study in the history of imperialism, highlighting the racialized economic inequalities of empire, colonization as a form of modernization, and industrial capitalism's creation of a radical power differential between "the West and the rest." On a deeper level, The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt will engage the contradictions unique to the French Third Republic's colonial "civilizing mission," the development of Vietnamese resistance to French rule, the history of disease, and aspects of environmental history"--
Download or read book The Coldest Crucible written by Michael F. Robinson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1800s, “Arctic Fever” swept across the nation as dozens of American expeditions sailed north to the Arctic to find a sea route to Asia and, ultimately, to stand at the North Pole. Few of these missions were successful, and many men lost their lives en route. Yet failure did little to dampen the enthusiasm of new explorers or the crowds at home that cheered them on. Arctic exploration, Michael F. Robinson argues, was an activity that unfolded in America as much as it did in the wintry hinterland. Paying particular attention to the perils facing explorers at home, The Coldest Crucible examines their struggles to build support for the expeditions before departure, defend their claims upon their return, and cast themselves as men worthy of the nation’s full attention. In so doing, this book paints a new portrait of polar voyagers, one that removes them from the icy backdrop of the Arctic and sets them within the tempests of American cultural life. With chronological chapters featuring emblematic Arctic explorers—including Elisha Kent Kane, Charles Hall, and Robert Peary—The Coldest Crucible reveals why the North Pole, a region so geographically removed from Americans, became an iconic destination for discovery.
