The use of the costume as a marketing tool, and notably its hypersexualisation, is another recent evolution of Alsace’s traditional dress that is not part of the author’s study. This book remains essential for readers trying to better understand how traditional dress survived and adapted to modernity, and for those studying the social and political role that traditional local dress can play within a society both on a local, national and international level.","PeriodicalId":44362,"journal":{"name":"Modern & Contemporary France","volume":"31 1","pages":"427 - 428"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46479598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It demonstrates that family history and politicization are both vectors of knowledge and interest in this history. However, if family history simply explains a greater interest in this history, the judgement on the past and its actors remains determined by young people’s political orientations. Issues of otherness and negative perceptions of Algerians, Muslims, and Arabs are at the heart of this contemporary political cleavage.","PeriodicalId":44362,"journal":{"name":"Modern & Contemporary France","volume":"31 1","pages":"33 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44126104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The sixtieth anniversary of the end of the Algerian War","authors":"Mildred Mortimer","doi":"10.1080/09639489.2022.2160699","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09639489.2022.2160699","url":null,"abstract":"5 July 2022 marked the sixtieth anniversary of Algerian independence. Algeria’s liberation struggle, a war that France calls the Algerian War and Algeria, the war of national liberation, began in 1954 when guerrillas of the FLN (National Liberation Front) attacked military installations, police posts, communications facilities, and public utilities in various parts of the country. Fought in the cities and in the countryside, the war ended with the signing of the Evian Accords on 19 March 1962. Algeria officially became independent three months later. After 132 years of political domination, French colonialism came to an end and the new era of Algerian independence dawned. As the first successful anticolonial war in Africa and a historic struggle that influences French-Algerian relations sixty years later, Algeria’s successful fight for independence from French colonial rule continues to capture the attention of historians, writers, students, and the general public in Algeria, France, and beyond both their borders. This issue of Modern & Contemporary France proposes to examine the war and its aftermath in this particular moment, sixty years after it had ended in Algeria’s liberation. Adopting multiple analytical lenses—historical, political, sociological, and literary—the contributors posit that texts written by survivors of the conflict and their descendants as well as social scientists and writers from varying geographic, cultural and temporal spaces offer unique perspectives on the war, bringing greater clarity to the complex historical events. In this regard, all who write about the Algerian War—a war of national liberation for the colonised, a struggle to maintain the status quo for the coloniser—recognize that the trauma of that violent conflict scarred individuals and the collective psyche of both nations. As historian Benjamin Stora reminds us, neither side has really come to terms with one of the most painful conflicts of decolonisation of the twentieth century. Calling for an end to the amnesia that has plagued both nations, he writes: ‘Français et Algériens doivent regarder en face leur propre histoire intérieure, balayer mythes et chimères, démêler droits et souvenirs. On ne peut partager l’avenir en niant le passé commun conflictuel’ (Stora 1991: 320). Indeed, many writers and historians, including Stora, use the image of an unhealed wound to characterize the effects of the war on individuals and the community in France and Algeria. Revisiting a war that ended more than sixty years ago proves to be a revelatory experience. A six-decade time span grants unique historical perspectives as soldiers and civilians, former combatants and witnesses—some who were adults, and others who were","PeriodicalId":44362,"journal":{"name":"Modern & Contemporary France","volume":"31 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47421354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I choose these three memoirs because each recounts a remarkable journey to empowerment and when brought together they emphasize the collective nature of the liberation struggle. Drif played a prominent role in the war as a ‘poseuse de bombes’ during the Battle of Algiers, Ighilahriz was a courier for the FLN, Bennaceur a nurse in the maquis. My intent in this article is to study their memoirs as historical artefacts that depict a collective anticolonial struggle and as chronicles of personal struggle in time of war. I test the premise that the three chroniclers looking back on the past confirm that their participation in the liberation struggle was transformative. Their courage and resilience tested, the young women emerged empowered. Yet, the war experience was traumatic, and each memoir reveals the trauma endured, and by articulating that trauma, hopefully helps heal psychological wounds.","PeriodicalId":44362,"journal":{"name":"Modern & Contemporary France","volume":"31 1","pages":"59 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47586496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This claim has not convinced a number of commentators in France who claim some allegiance to Bourdieu’s theoretical legacy. Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, Didier Eribon, and Frédéric Lordon have argued that Piketty’s work represents a betrayal of Bourdieu’s legacy in its advocacy of the myths of meritocracy and liberalism. This article argues to the contrary that Piketty’s analyses of an emerging global elite can be interpreted as developing Bourdieu’s empirical findings and theoretical approach in important ways. It shows, first, that Piketty’s formula explaining the mechanism driving inequality (r > g) is directly translatable into Bourdieu’s theoretical lexicon. Second, the article argues that Bourdieu’s analyses of ‘la nouvelle bourgeoisie’ in both La Distinction and La Noblesse d’État anticipate Piketty’s later work on the global elite that has emerged under ‘un nouveau capitalisme patrimonial’. Finally, the article demonstrates that Piketty’s enquiries have led him to question both meritocracy and liberalism, in their classic forms, and ponders the possible political significance of this abandonment.","PeriodicalId":44362,"journal":{"name":"Modern & Contemporary France","volume":"31 1","pages":"395 - 410"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47267766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given how much these women suffered (including under torture) during the war, how to convey their experiences in an ethical manner is a central concern. Bouchareb achieves an ethical balance between avoiding voyeurism and bearing testimony to these women’s suffering and active agency through using film techniques that approach his protagonists with respect, a central feature of his ethical cinema. He also relies on techniques that enhance spectatorial identification with the protagonists through triggering emotional responses. I identify and detail specific formal and thematic choices he made to highlight the past’s continuing relevance to the present and to centre women’s experiences, voices, and bodies. The films finally honour mujahidat (almost a decade after Bouchareb’s male-centred epic film Hors la loi). Seeking to both stage and remedy the difficult anamnesis of the war, they bring memories together and carry messages about the need to always fight against injustice that are relevant on both sides of the Mediterranean, sixty years later.","PeriodicalId":44362,"journal":{"name":"Modern & Contemporary France","volume":"31 1","pages":"75 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45911389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
