Collectif, 7e Rendez-vous de l’Histoire, Blois, 14-17 octobre 2004 : « Les femmes dans l’Histoire »

Destinés à un public de chercheurs, d’enseignants et de passionnés d’histoire, les Rendez-vous de l’Histoire, de Blois, s’imposent aujourd’hui comme un lieu unique d’échanges entre spécialistes de différentes disciplines, partageant un même objet d’étude. Pendant quatre jours, ils proposent un programme varié d’expositions, de tables rondes, de conférences, de cycles de projection, organisés autour d’un important salon du livre d’histoire. Leurs travaux cette année étaient consacrés aux femme..

L’apport de l’histoire des médias à l’étude des langages du politique

En 1969, les directeurs de l’Histoire générale de la presse française sont les héritiers de l’esprit de la Résistance, qui a placé les médias au cœur de la refondation démocratique de la France. Ils revendiquent une démarche originale en cherchant, par la lecture des journaux, à mieux comprendre la vie politique, sociale, économique et les changements survenus dans les mentalités. Pour eux, la presse vaut par les traces qu’elle comporte (de menus événements qui auraient pu être oubliés ou de ..

Toward a Comprehensive and Integrated Strategy of the European Marine Research Infrastructures for Ocean Observations

Research Infrastructures (RIs) are large-scale facilities encompassing instruments, resources, data and services used by the scientific community to conduct high-level research in their respective fields. The development and integration of marine environmental RIs as European Research Vessel Operators [ERVO] (2020) is the response of the European Commission (EC) to global marine challenges through research, technological development and innovation. These infrastructures (EMSO ERIC, Euro-Argo ERIC, ICOS-ERIC Marine, LifeWatch ERIC, and EMBRC-ERIC) include specialized vessels, fixed-point monitoring systems, Lagrangian floats, test facilities, genomics observatories, bio-sensing, and Virtual Research Environments (VREs), among others. Marine ecosystems are vital for life on Earth. Global climate change is progressing rapidly, and geo-hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, cause large losses of human life and have massive worldwide socio-economic impacts. Enhancing our marine environmental monitoring and prediction capabilities will increase our ability to respond adequately to major challenges and efficiently. Collaboration among European marine RIs aligns with and has contributed to the OceanObs’19 Conference statement and the objectives of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). This collaboration actively participates and supports concrete actions to increase the quality and quantity of more integrated and sustained observations in the ocean worldwide. From an innovation perspective, the next decade will increasingly count on marine RIs to support the development of new technologies and their validation in the field, increasing market uptake and produce a shift in observing capabilities and strategies.Peer reviewe

Genomic Exploration of the Hemiascomycetous Yeasts: 1. A set of yeast species for molecular evolution studies11Sequences and annotations are accessible at: Génoscope (http://www.genoscope.cns.fr), FEBS Letters Website (http://www.elsevier.nl/febs/show/), Bordeaux (http://cbi.genopole-bordeaux.fr/Genolevures) and were deposited into the EMBL database (accession number from AL392203 to AL441602).

AbstractThe identification of molecular evolutionary mechanisms in eukaryotes is approached by a comparative genomics study of a homogeneous group of species classified as Hemiascomycetes. This group includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the first eukaryotic genome entirely sequenced, back in 1996. A random sequencing analysis has been performed on 13 different species sharing a small genome size and a low frequency of introns. Detailed information is provided in the 20 following papers. Additional tables available on websites describe the ca. 20 000 newly identified genes. This wealth of data, so far unique among eukaryotes, allowed us to examine the conservation of chromosome maps, to identify the ‘yeast-specific’ genes, and to review the distribution of gene families into functional classes. This project conducted by a network of seven French laboratories has been designated ‘Génolevures’

Genomic Exploration of the Hemiascomycetous Yeasts: 19. Ascomycetes-specific genes

AbstractComparisons of the 6213 predicted Saccharomyces cerevisiae open reading frame (ORF) products with sequences from organisms of other biological phyla differentiate genes commonly conserved in evolution from ‘maverick’ genes which have no homologue in phyla other than the Ascomycetes. We show that a majority of the ‘maverick’ genes have homologues among other yeast species and thus define a set of 1892 genes that, from sequence comparisons, appear ‘Ascomycetes-specific’. We estimate, retrospectively, that the S. cerevisiae genome contains 5651 actual protein-coding genes, 50 of which were identified for the first time in this work, and that the present public databases contain 612 predicted ORFs that are not real genes. Interestingly, the sequences of the ‘Ascomycetes-specific’ genes tend to diverge more rapidly in evolution than that of other genes. Half of the ‘Ascomycetes-specific’ genes are functionally characterized in S. cerevisiae, and a few functional categories are over-represented in them

La famille, valeur de droite ?

Si les droites refusent le terme « d’idéologie », elles adossent leur réflexion politique et leurs programmes à un ensemble de valeurs, au centre desquelles est placée la famille. On la retrouve au fondement de tous les systèmes d’identités et d’appartenance construits par les droites. Après avoir examiné l’élaboration de cet appareil théorique depuis la Révolution, cet article s’intéresse à la période vichyste en cherchant si on peut parler d’un positionnement spécifique du régime réactionnaire sur les normes familiales. Dans une dernière partie, on étudiera les traces des valeurs familiales dans les discours contemporains de la droite, à travers la presse magazine.While right wing movements and parties oppose the use of the word “ideology”, their programs and political approach are anchored to a set of values. At the heart of those values, and of all discourse of identity, is the family. This paper will study the constitution of the theoretical apparatus of the family since the Revolution, and focus on the Vichy era to examine the possibility of a positioning on family norms specific to the reactionary regime. Lastly will be studied the marks of family values in contemporary right wing rhetoric, through magazine articles

Sexuality in the women’s press : the turning point of 1968

Au fil des années 1960, l’hebdomadaire Elle ouvre ses colonnes à la question de la sexualité féminine. Le magazine accompagne la mutation qui, dans la dynamique de la deuxième vague du féminisme, permet aux femmes d’accéder au droit à disposer de leur corps. Cette révolution change bien sûr la place et le rôle de la sexualité : l’épanouissement sexuel des partenaires devient un des enjeux de la vie de couple. L’article montre comment le journal rend compte et participe de ces évolutions en prenant des positions diverses selon les auteurs et les genres journalistiques mobilisés.During the 1960s, the women’s weekly Elle began to publish features on women’s sexuality, reflecting the profound changes brought by the second feminist wave that gave women the freedom to control their own bodies. This revolution obviously changed the place and the role of sexuality, as sexual fulfilment between partners became a central issue in the life of couples. This article shows how the magazine both reflected and contributed to these changes as it adopted a variety of stances according to the different journalists and media genres

Elle : Un prescripteur culturel ?

La presse écrite émerge en France au xviie siècle, alors que s’élabore un espace public. Dès cette époque, la première revue destinée aux femmes accorde une large place à la littérature. Pour Monique Vincent, la recommandation littéraire est au cœur du projet de la galanterie française du xviie siècle, et donc du Mercure galant. Le journal propose dans chacune de ses livraisons des textes littéraires, dont une grande partie sont écrits par des auteures, même si tous les grands écrivains du si..
