Identités culturelles et espaces ouvriers : l’exemple des jardiniers immigrés de Saint-Étienne (france)

Jusqu’à très récemment, les études historiques sur l’immigration en France se sont principalement posées la question de l’intégration des étrangers au sein d’une société française le plus souvent perçue comme culturellement homogène. L’objectif de cette recherche est de montrer à un niveau local (la ville de Saint-Étienne) comment les populations immigrées se sont appropriées des espaces traditionnellement ouvriers pour exprimer leur expérience migratoire, leur identité transnationale ainsi que leur attachement à la ville d’accueil. L’étude micro-historique de la présence immigrée dans les jardins ouvriers de Saint-Étienne met tout particulièrement en valeur la diversité des pratiques sociales et culturelles d’individus le plus souvent marginalisés et socialement invisibles. Ce regard porté sur le patrimoine commun des « Stéphanois d’ici et d’ailleurs » est un pas vers la construction d’une nouvelle histoire de France à la fois décentralisée, plurielle et inclusive.Until very recently, historical studies on immigration in France have focused mainly on the integration of foreigners into a French society perceived as culturally homogenous. The objective of this research is to show, at a local level (the city of Saint-Étienne), how immigrant populations have appropriated traditional working-class spaces to express their migratory experience, their transnational identity as well as their attachment to the host city. This micro-historical study of the immigrant presence in the workers’ gardens of Saint-Étienne highlights the diversity of the social and cultural practices of individuals who are most often marginalized and socially invisible. Such a focus on the shared heritage of the “Stéphanois from here and from there” represents one step in the direction of a new history of France that would be both diverse and inclusive

La presse portugaise et maghrébine des années soixante-dix, entre communauté et société

Une étude croise'e de deux publications du début des années soixante-dix, Al Assifa et Jornal do Emigrante. La première en direction des Maghrébins et la seconde en direction des Portugais. Al Assifa s'adressait de façon militante à des lecteurs ouverts vers la société française, afin de les inscrire dans la communauté mondiale des luttes ouvrières, tandis que Jornal do Emigrante tentait pour sa part de faire adhérer au militantisme une population moins intégrée et peu engagée.Jelen Brigitte.

The Microstructure and Rehydration Properties of the Phoenix Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus Sajor Caju) Dried by Three Alternative Processes

The aim of this investigation was to observe the effects of three drying methods on the microstructure and rehydration properties of the Phoenix Oyster mushroom. Mushrooms were dried at 55C by air-, freeze- and vacuum-drying pilot plant processes. At the microstructural level, the hyphae of the air-dried samples were more flattened and collapsed than the vacuum - and freeze dried samples. The Basidia were distorted by all three treatments to a certain extent, but there seemed to be less damage on the gill surface of the vacuum-dried samples. Appearance, rehydration time and capacity were similar for freeze- and vacuum-dried mushrooms; air-dried mushrooms were shrunken and darker in colour and their rehydration time and capacity were lower. Sensory evaluations indicated better flavour retention of the vacuum-dried product as compared to the air-dried material

The European Standard Series and its additions: are they of any use in 2013?

This study has two purposes:--to know whether the European standard series is still the key reference when it comes to contact dermatitis, i.e., are its components still the most frequently involved allergens in contact dermatitis nowadays?--to assess the results of the European standard series among French and Belgian dermatologists/allergists as, so far, most of them have failed to provide statistical data within the European community of allergists/dermatologists. 18 participants from 2 dermatology and allergy centres in Belgium and 11 centres in France collected their results from 3,073 patients tested in 2011. They assessed the relevance of some tests as well as that of the standard series and additional series to establish an etiological diagnosis of contact dermatitis. These results, together with the history of the European standard series, have shown that some allergens are obsolete and that others should be included in a new standard series for which we are making a few suggestions
