When it comes to the Revolutionary era and the 19th Century in France, most French people would have a relatively clear
perception of what happened. The King was executed, the Republic was established, then Napoleon arrived, lost at Waterloo, and “voilà”!
What happens next, however, remains for most French and English people a blurry concept, as schools tend not to spend much time on
Napoleon’s successors. From 1789 to 1900, France changed its regime about ten times, and the century is arguably the most agitated and
therefore the most interesting in all of French History.
With this series of Lectures, Gaël Blaison, cultural coordinator and History enthusiast, takes you on a trip to discover the Forgotten
Century!

Professor Rosemary Salomone will discuss her award winning book, The Rise of English: Global Politics and the Power of Language (Oxford University Press, 2022), recently published in paperback edition with an updated Preface. She will focus on debates in France and Italy over the use of English in higher education and what they reveal about the effects on students, professors, programmatic quality, knowledge production and national language and identity, and about the limits of the law.

Élise thought she had the perfect life: an ideal boyfriend and a promising career as a ballet dancer. It all falls apart the day she catches
him cheating on her; and after she suffers an injury on stage, it seems like she might not be able to dance again. The path to physical and
emotional recovery will lead her away from Paris to a picturesque location in Brittany – where her friends, a new love and the freedom of
contemporary dance will help her reconnect with her father and most importantly, herself.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, to a Cree mother and a French father, Rauna, affectionately known throughout Tremblay's work as "Nana," was sent with her two younger sisters, B a and Alice, to be raised on her maternal grandparents' farm in Sainte-Maria-de-Saskatchewan, a francophone Catholic enclave of two hundred souls. At the age of ten, amid swaying fields of wheat under the idyllic prairie sky of her loving foster family, Nana is suddenly told by her mother, whom she hasn't seen in five years and who now lives in Montreal, to come "home" and help take care of her new baby brother.

Objat has someone in mind: Constance, an attractive, restless, bored woman in a failing marriage to a washed-up pop musician. Soon after, she is abducted by Objat's cronies and spirited away into the lower depths of France's intelligence bureaucracy where she is trained for her mission.
