Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Risky Business of French Feminism: Publishing, Politics, and Artistry examines the institutional history of the publishing house Editions des Femmes as well as its relationship to the French Women’s Liberation Movement (MLF) from 1972 to the present. The founding and subsequent success of Editions des Femmes in the publishing milieu intensified the ideological divisions within the MLF and highlighted the extent to which that movement failed to adequately reflect on the power inherent in its recourse to print culture as an agent of change. In particular, Editions des Femmes produced several periodical publications and pioneered a woman-centered subculture that attached militant political meanings to the practice of buying and publishing books. While the MLF succeeded in changing legislation detrimental to women, it was not able to create unified cultural politics or construct a long-term media strategy that could preserve the movement’s original ideals and unity. Jennifer L. Sweatman explores the long-term dissipation of the MLF as a unified force not only as an outcome of ideological disagreement, but also due to conflicting views on culture, women’s creativity as a strategy for empowerment, and the utility of media for creating change. As the MLF fragmented, unable to fully come to terms with its various consumer identities, its need for capital to support creative projects, and its difficult experience with collective decision-making, the Editions des Femmes’ project was seen as incredibly controversial. However, Editions des Femmes embodied a broader strategy for cultural transformation that privileged women’s creative works rather than feminism, situating it as a successful forerunner of the revitalization of the publishing industry from below as small, independent houses challenged the large, media conglomerate control of the industry.

Download or read book Inventer Et Mobiliser Le Local written by Association euro-africaine pour l'anthropologie du changement social et du développement and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2010 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade West African villages, rural towns, and urban neighbourhoods have experienced changes resulting from democratisation and decentralisation processes. While much hope was invested in decentralisation policies in the 1990s, today there is a need to look at everyday decentralisation practices. In this volume, authors of different scholarly backgrounds focus on political, economic and cultural aspects of decentralisation. By exploring party politics, water provision, schooling, territorial division and cultural understanding the case-studies highlight core stakes and fundamental contradictions of present-day decentralisation in West Africa.
Download or read book Painting Politics and the Struggle for the ole de Paris 1944 964 written by Natalie Adamson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painting, Politics and the Struggle for the ?ole de Paris, 1944-1964 is the first book dedicated to the postwar or 'nouvelle' ?ole de Paris. It challenges the customary relegation of the ?ole de Paris to the footnotes, not by arguing for some hitherto 'hidden' merit for the art and ideas associated with this school, but by establishing how and why the ?ole de Paris was a highly significant vehicle for artistic and political debate. The book presents a sustained historical study of how this 'school' was constituted by the paintings of a diverse group of artists, by the combative field of art criticism, and by the curatorial policies of galleries and state exhibitions. By thoroughly mining the extensive resources of the newspaper and art journal press, gallery and government archives, artists' writings and interviews with surviving artists and art critics, the book traces the artists, exhibitions, and art critical debates that made the ?ole de Paris a zone of aesthetic and political conflict. Through setting the ?ole de Paris into its artistic, social, and political context, Natalie Adamson demonstrates how it functioned as the defining force in French postwar art in its defence of the tradition of easel painting, as well as an international point of reference for the expansion of modernism. In doing so, she presents a wholly new perspective on the vexed relationships between painting, politics, and national identity in France during the two decades following World War II.

Book excerpt: "En partenariat avec l'Association des écrivains de la Caraïbe, la région Guadeloupe a organisé, du 10 au 13 avril 2013, la troisième édition du Congrès des écrivains de la Caraïbe. Le thème de réflexion de ce troisième congrès, dont l'éminent écrivain américain, Russel BANKS, a été l'invité d'honneur, fournit la matière d'un parcours analytique des circonstances et des conditions de la formation et de l'effondrement des sociétés coloniales esclavagistes de l'archipel des Caraïbes : "Une épopée collective, les combats de la liberté : vérité historique et fiction romanesque dans les littératures caribéennes". Complexes, les problèmes abordés se rapportent tous aux traumatismes de la mémoire et de l'oubli, aux impasses de l'écriture de l'histoire et déterminent les poétiques mises en oeuvre dans les champs littéraires des Caraïbes. Le présent volume des Actes du troisième congrès prolonge les deux volumes précédents respectivement parus chez le même éditeur en 2011 et 2013. The Regional Council of Guadeloupe, in collaboration with the Association of Caribbean Writers, organised the third edition of the Congress of Caribbean Writers from April 10th to 13th, 2013. The theme of this third Congress, at which the distinguished American writer, Russel Banks was the Guest of Honour, served as a foundation for analysing the circumstances and conditions behind the establishment and collapse of colonial slave societies in the Caribbean islands: "A collective epic, our fight for freedom - historic truth and romantic fiction in Caribbean literatures". The issues addressed were complex and connected to the trauma of memory and oblivion as well as to the impasses of writing history employed in the literary fields of the Caribbean. This volume of the Proceedings of the third Congress is a continuation of the two preceding volumes, which were distributed by the same publisher in 2011 and 2013 respectively.

Download or read book Money is the True Friend written by Pernille Sørensen and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2000 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ugandan economy was once solidly based on the export of cash crops such as coffee and cotton. The economic crisis and the civil war in the 1970s and 1980s however profoundly changed the agricultural economy, and marketing of traditional cash crops was replaced by marketing of commercialized food crops. "Money is the true friend" deals with the emergence of de-regulated food markets for maize in Eastern Uganda. The focus is not marketing as such, but rather a new social and economic field for local traders demarcated by the involvement in three maize markets: the relief market, the Kenyan market and the domestic market. The central problem illuminated in the book is the relationship between the liberalization of food marketing and the development of a new social and cultural practice - a morality - for trading which is both shaped by and shapes the marketing opportunities for the participating traders.
