Le sens de l’altérité selon Simone de Beauvoir
2020
In Simone de Beauvoir’s oeuvre, the problem of love and the relationship with the Other turns out to be fundamental.The need to realize one’s own desires forces the individual to open for the Other who – instead of making the relationship more attractive – brings about its breakup. The Author raises this issue in terms of androgyny interpreted as a relationship between two people, which is possible only in the spheres of total freedom and reciprocity, both spiritual and sexual, revealing an inherent influence of other people on our lives. The texts by Beauvoir, whose idée fixe is a search for the wholeness, enable one to understand that otherness is also understood as a struggle to change t…
Spaces of Identity: Gender, Ethnicity, and Race in Salome of the Tenements (1923) and Quicksand (1928)
2018
Abstract The 1920s marked a fervent time for artistic and literary expression in the United States. Besides the famous authors of the decade, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner, Anzia Yezierska and Nella Larsen, among other female writers, also managed to carve “a literary space” for their stories. Yezierska and Larsen depicted the struggles and tribulations of minority women during the fermenting 1920s, with a view to illustrating the impact of ethnicity and race on the individual female identity. Yezierska, a Jewish-American immigrant, and Larsen, a biracial American woman, share an interest in capturing the nuances of belonging to a particular community…
« Condamnés à mort » : les mots français de Walter Pater
2013
Cet article traite de l’utilisation des mots, expressions et citations françaises dans The Renaissance de Walter Pater (1873). L’usage érudit des langues étrangères par Pater se rattache à la stylistique décadente, mais sa précision et les effets d’éclaircissement et de masquage de sources ou de thèmes qu’il en tire sont propres à l’auteur. Si les mots expriment l’altérité de toute langue et le processus de traduction qu’implique l’utilisation de la langue selon lui, les mots français de ce texte désignent plus particulièrement l’altérité de la mort. This article focuses on the use of French words, expressions and citations in Walter Pater’s The Renaissance (1873), be they translated or not…
L'accueil des enfants (d') immigrés dans les écoles françaises : éducation entre culture familiale et culture du pays d'arrivée
2011
Immigrant(s') children are the purveyors of a family tongue and culture which differ from that of the host country and its education system, when in fact, family culture and the mother-tongue play a major role in harmonious child development and in his/her integration into society. School, which should aim at both enabling the child to establish himself/herself as a subject and finding his/her place in society, conveys a different culture, which is regarded as legitimate. What about the tongues and cultures of immigrant children? Until the 1970s, nothing specific was schemed for immigrant school children. They had to merge with the rest. Family reunification policies brought along the takin…
El espectáculo de la otredad: la representación racial y de género en Roman Scandals
2020
The present paper analyses the strategies of racialization and genderization developed in the musical film Roman Scandals (Frank Tuttle 1933) and especially those used in the musical number “Keep Young and Beautiful”, in which Eddie (Eddie Cantor) uses blackface to hide in the bathrooms of ancient Rome in the company of half-naked white women and their black maids. Through a theoretical framework that draws on the contributions of Decolonial Studies, Postcolonialism Studies and Whiteness Studies, together with the methodological tools of Feminist Film Theory, we aim to reveal the phenomena of coloniality of power and gender that returns the white man’s position of power that he had lost as …
De la normatividad hacia la alteridad. Estudio mixto sobre el tratamiento de la diversidad en películas Disney
2021
La diversidad es condición sine qua non de la propia existencia, no entendida únicamente a nivel físico sino como cualquier diferencia entre personas. Por ello, esta se percibe como la suma de la normatividad y alteridad. Esta realidad se convierte en una de las pretensiones de la escuela actual, especialmente durante la Educación Infantil como periodo educativo en el que se asientan los valores de tolerancia y respeto. No obstante, se cuenta con barreras en cuanto a dicho paradigma inclusivo con elementos como la cultura visual de la imagen que en parte de sus producciones incluye un discurso separatista, clasista y en contra de la diferencia. Un ejemplo concreto radica en la colección “Lo…
Risignificare l’autonomia nell’età contemporanea: spunti di riflessione dalla pedagogia di Romano Guardini
2022
Tra i principi fondanti la vita dell’uomo contemporaneo, come imperante emerge l’autonomia. Nata nella modernità come valorizzazione della soggettività, l’autonomia ha poi assunto un indefinito carattere di assolutizzazione, tendente a denaturare l’essenza più profonda dell’essere personale. Il presente scritto si propone di accogliere l’analisi che dell’autonomia – e della persona - propone il pensatore Romano Guardini, e da essa lasciar emergere i tratti costitutivi, nel tentativo di assumerli come direzioni di senso preziose per una attuale e necessaria risignificazione pedagogica dell’autonomia: un’autonomia rispettosa dell’essenza della persona, quindi capace di porsi in dialogo con l’…
Otherness and common world : the ethical subject in instituted aid
2021
The conception of ethics in the sector of assistance to the most deprived and particularly vulnerable people is modelled on medical ethics. It is first and foremost a professional code of ethics developed for social workers. It thus obscures the ethical dimension of people who are marked by differences related to disabilities and precariousness and are in a situation of being helped. For them, a possible belonging to the common world must go through an integration of their own way of being ethical. Thus, strengthening the inclusive aim currently at work in the social assistance sector, must go through a work of redefinition of the ethics of aid in order to take into account the specificity …
Developing Dialogicity in Relational Practices: Reflecting on Experiences from Open Dialogues
2015
The paper analyses open dialogicity in psychotherapy and juxtaposes it with education in order to find common dialogical elements in all relational practices. The core is found in unconditional respect for otherness and generating dialogical space for voices to be heard. In traditional practice, professionals are tempted to plan interventions according to the goals of change informed by their methods and in team work and multi-professional practices they may even do this between themselves, away from the clients. Pre-set categories, plans and goals, however well founded they may seem, hinder listening. Following what others present here-and-now calls for tolerating uncertainty. Insight into…
