Download or read book Rencontres australiennes written by Pierre Lagayette and published by Presses Paris Sorbonne. This book was released on 2008 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les temps de la découverte, l'Australie a alimenté curiosité et fantasmes chez les Européens, puis une convoitise liée à son extraordinaire immensité, ses richesses minérales et sa diversité naturelle. Aujourd'hui la plupart de ses mystères ont été dissipés mais l'Australie fascine pourtant les Européens, comme si elle n'avait pas livré encore tous ses secrets. Peu de Français connaissent l'histoire de ce continent d'" en bas " qui, de l'autre côté de la terre, a dû conjuguer les traditions millénaires des peuples autochtones, la présence de bagnards et les exigences impériales de l'Angleterre. Devenue libre et moderne, l'Australie n'en demeure pas moins une nation hantée par un passé qu'obscurcit la non-reconnaissance de l'Autre aborigène. Hantée par l'illusion de la Terra nullius - cet espace vierge originel où doivent nécessairement s'exercer les prérogatives de l'envahisseur européen -, l'Australie cherche des moyens, légaux, sociaux, culturels, d'accomplir une réconciliation dont dépend en grande partie le sentiment d'une appartenance et d'une identité nationales. Depuis que les Jeux olympiques de Sydney ont soudain braqué l'attention sur elle, I'Australie cherche à offrir à son propre peuple et au reste du monde un visage apaisé, démythifié, débarrassé des fantasmes qu'avait projetés sur elle l' Europe, depuis la découverte. A cet égard, ce volume propose des regards avisés et originaux sur l'Australie contemporaine, rassemblés autour d'un thème qui explore la conscience de soi des Australiens confrontés à la nécessité de rompre l'isolement où les a contraints la géographie et où les a précipités l'histoire du peuplement continental. Des signes d'espoir sont néanmoins visibles : l'Australie en devenir est une terre vouée à unifier plutôt qu'à exclure, à accueillir plutôt qu'à rejeter, tout en préservant ses chances de construire une identité sociale et culturelle durable.
Download or read book Contesting Memory Museumizations of Migration in Comparative Global Context Proceedings of the International Conference on Museums and Migration held at the Maison des Science de l Homme MSH June 25 26 2010 Paris written by Mohammad H. Tamdgidi and published by Ahead Publishing House (imprint: Okcir Press). This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Fall 2011 (IX, 4) issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge, entitled “Contesting Memory: Museumizations of Migration in Comparative Global Context,” includes papers from the conference on “Museums and Migration” organized by the volume co-editors on June 25-26, 2010, at the Maison des Science de l’Homme (MSH) in Paris. The focus here is on questions of representation and social agency of both migrants and migration museum officials, adopting a comparative perspective on the complex and conflictive articulation between how migrants are represented by themselves and by museum institutions. Migrants are not passive but social agents actively involved in their communities and socially vigilant of the way they are treated, perceived and represented by the host society. They produce also their own representations that are often in conflict with Western hegemonic perceptions of their cultures and identities. Their strong presence in global cities and metropolitan societies today confronts the dominant society with issues of racial/ethnic discrimination and historical memory otherwise ignored by hegemonic Western views. Museums dealing with the history of slavery, migration and colonialism emerged as spaces of contestation, the term “migrant” itself being contested by long-established “minority” groups as one of the ways the dominant society still treats them as “foreigners” and “immigrants.” Contributors include: Ramón Grosfoguel (also as journal issue guest editor), Yvon Le Bot (also as journal issue guest editor), Alexandra Poli (also as journal issue guest editor), Andrea Meza Torres, Lia Paula Rodrigues, Cristina Castellano, Estela Rodríguez García, Ilham Boumankhar, Véronique Bragard, Artwell Cain, Stephen Small, and Mohammad H. Tamdgidi (also as journal editor-in-chief).

Download or read book Language Power and Ideology in Political Writing Emerging Research and Opportunities written by Çak?rta?, Önder and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics and political literature studies have emerged as one of the most dynamic areas of scrutiny. Relying on ideological as well as socio-political theories, politics have contributed to cultural studies in many ways, especially within written texts such as literary works. As few critics have investigated the intersections of politics and literature, there is a tremendous need for material that does just this. Language, Power, and Ideology in Political Writing: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference book that focuses on the use of narrative and writing to communicate political ideologies. This publication explores literature spurring from politics, the disadvantages of political or highly ideological writing, writers’ awareness of the outside world during the composition process, and how they take advantage of political writing. Featuring a wide range of topics such as gender politics, indigenous literature, and censorship, this book is ideal for academicians, librarians, researchers, and students, specifically those who study politics, international relations, cultural studies, women’s studies, gender studies, and political and ideological studies.

This book celebrating his life, is a mosaic of memories that cover his zeal for a reciprocity between France and Australia, the creation of the Association Culturelle Franco-Australienne with his wife Monique in Paris, and their total immersion and engagement in aiding visiting Australian writers, filmmakers, artists, musicians, academics and students. He claimed: 'Love of one's country coupled with love of one's chosen and adopted culture is a seductive and rewarding course to follow' (Reciprocity, 20). From his early days as a lecturer in the French Department the University of Newcastle he tapped into the strength of Australia's new film-makers, translating Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock and utilising his links in France to get the film to French audiences. An early friendship with Frank Moorhouse enabled Frank to live and work in France to complete his Grand Days trilogy and find French publishers through Jean-Paul's translation. When Gough Whitlam was appointed Ambassador to UNESCO in Paris, the Whitlams found a firm friendship with the Delamottes, and backed the evolution of A.C.F.A. As Gough exclaimed: "Comrade, let us ... create a "little window" in Paris for Australia ... as you both have.."

Download or read book Cultural Encounters in Translated Children s Literature written by Helen Frank and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Encounters in Translated Children's Literature offers a detailed and innovative model of analysis for examining the complexities of translating children's literature and sheds light on the interpretive choices at work in moving texts from one culture to another. The core of the study addresses the issue of how images of a nation, locale or country are constructed in translated children's literature, with the translation of Australian children's fiction into French serving as a case study. Issues examined include the selection of books for translation, the relationship between children's books and the national and international publishing industry, the packaging of translations and the importance of titles, blurbs and covers, the linguistic and stylistic features specific to translating for children, intertextual references, the function of the translation in the target culture, didactic and pedagogical aims, euphemistic language and explicitation, and literariness in translated texts. The findings of the case study suggest that the most common constructs of Australia in French translations reveal a preponderance of traditional Eurocentric signifiers that identify Australia with the outback, the antipodes, the exotic, the wild, the unknown, the void, the end of the world, the young and innocent nation, and the Far West. Contemporary signifiers that construct Australia as urban, multicultural, Aboriginal, worldly and inharmonious are seriously under-represented. The study also shows that French translations are conventional, conservative and didactic, showing preference for an exotic rather than local specificity, with systematic manipulation of Australian referents betraying a perception of Australia as antipodean rural exoticism. The significance of the study lies in underscoring the manner in which a given culture is constructed in another cultural milieu, especially through translated children's literature.
