In the first decade of a new century, this collection of bilingual essays examines Camus’s continuing popularity for a new generation of readers. In crucial respects, the world Camus knew has changed beyond all recognition: decolonization, the fall of the Iron Curtain, a new era of globalization and the rise of new forms of terrorism have all provoked a reconsideration of Camus’s writings. If the Absurd once struck a particular chord, Meursault is as likely now to be seen as a colonial figure who expresses the alienation of the settler from the land of his birth. Yet this increasing orthodoxy must also take account of the reasons why a new community of Algerian readers have embraced Camus. Equally, once isolated because of his anti-Communist stance, Camus has been taken up by disaffected members of the Left, convinced that new forms of totalitarianism are abroad in the world. This volume, which ranges from interpretations of Camus’s literary works, his journalism and his political writings, will be of interest to all those seeking to re-evaluate Camus’s work in the light of ethical and political issues that are of continuing relevance today.

ISBN: 303070825X

This open access book provides an analysis of contemporary societies and schools shaped by cultural diversity, globalization and migration. This diversity is necessarily reflected in education systems and requires the promotion of intercultural approaches able to improve learning processes and the quality of education. From an international and comparative perspective, this book first presents theoretical and conceptual foundations for seriously considering cultural diversity. The book also compares intercultural approaches and debates generated in countries as diverse as the United States, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland and France. For each national context, the book addresses both the historical roots of intercultural approaches and the concrete initiatives driven by educational policies for their implementation in schools and classrooms. Finally, the book presents discussions surrounding the treatment of linguistic or religious diversity in schools, the emergence of global citizenship education and the key role of teachers in intercultural approaches. This is an open access book.

For two centuries, the school system has been a central point around which other players have gravitated: local authorities, voluntary organizations and the world of work. Over the course of the 20th century, this school centric configuration underwent a transformation, with local authorities tending to become integrated into the vertical culture of the school system. This was only the beginning of a process that brought schools and socio cultural players into constant contact. Cultural, Training and Educational Spaces first examines the relationships with knowledge generated by the links between the school system and other cultural, training and educational spaces, taking a historical, pedagogical and philosophical perspective. Easy access to learning materials creates different relationships with knowledge than those observed in schools. The book then looks at the pedagogical practices in these different cultural educational spaces, such as libraries and media libraries, museums and historical sites, places of heritage, history and entertainment, social networks and other multimedia formats.

Le Canada n'avait pas connu de politicien de la trempe de Stéphane Dion depuis Pierre Trudeau. Ses réponses cinglantes aux déclarations du Premier ministre Lucien Bouchard sur la séparation ont rendu les souverainistes furieux. Et ses discours ont étonné les commentateurs, toutes tendances politiques confondues. Pour la première fois depuis longtemps, un politicien a eu l'audace de prendre à partie l'opposition. Comme Trudeau, Dion est un brillant universitaire, recruté par le Parti libéral du Canada en raison de ses profondes convictions et de son désir d'imprimer un nouveau dynamisme au fédéralisme canadien. Nommé ministre des Affaires intergouvernementales et élu au Parlement, il s'est retrouvé au coeur même des débats portant sur les grands enjeux en matière des relations fédérales-provinciales. Mais ce sont ses incursions au Québec qui ont attiré l'attention des médias. Ses lettres au Premier ministre Bouchard et au vice-premier ministre Bernard Landry ont défini pour la première fois le coût de la séparation. Il a irrité les séparatistes en déclarant que si le Canada était divisible, le Québec l'était aussi. Il a aussi irrité les anglophones en présentant la Loi 101, la loi du Québec qui porte sur la langue, comme une grande loi canadienne. Stéphane Dion parle avec clarté et passion de la complexité, de la beauté et des contradictions du Canada. Le pari de la franchise définit sa pensée en matière de réconciliation nationale.
