Formerly the gateway to the French empire, the city of Marseille
exemplifies a postcolonial Europe reshaped by immigrants, refugees,
and repatriates. The Marseille Mosaic addresses the city's past and
present, exploring the relationship between Marseille and the rest
of France, Europe, and the Mediterranean. Proposing new models for
the study of place by integrating approaches from the humanities
and social sciences, this volume offers an idiosyncratic "mosaic,"
which vividly details the challenges facing other French and
European cities and the ways residents are developing alternative
perspectives and charting new urban futures.
French Cultural Studies for the Twenty-First Century brings
together current scholarship on a diverse range of topics-from
French postcards and Third Republic menus to Haitian literary
magazines and representation of race in vaudeville theater-in order
to provide methodological insight into the current practice of
French cultural studies. The essays in the volume show how scholars
of French studies can effectively analyze what we term
"non-traditional sources" in their historical and geographical
contexts. In doing so, the volume offers a compelling vision of the
field today and maps out potential paradigms for future research.
This book builds upon previous scholarship that defined the stakes
of using an interdisciplinary approach to analyze cultural objects
from France and Francophone regions and aims to evaluate the
current state of this complex and constantly evolving field and its
current methodological practices.
