Relations parents-enfants / Parents-children relationshipsIndex. décimale : 306 Cultures et sociétés françaises et francophones Résumé : When American journalist Pamela Druckerman has a baby in Paris, she doesn't aspire to become a "French parent". French parenting isn't a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insist they aren't doing anything special.
Yet, the French children Druckerman knows sleep through the night at two or three months old while those of her American friends take a year or more. French kids eat well-rounded meals that are more likely to include braised leeks than chicken nuggets. And while her American friends spend their visits resolving spats between their kids, her French friends sip coffee while the kids play.
Motherhood itself is a whole different experience in France. There's no role model, as there is in America, for the harried new mom with no life of her own. French mothers assume that even good parents aren't at the constant service of their children and that there's no need to feel guilty about this. They have an easy, calm authority with their kids that Druckerman can only envy.
Of course, French parenting wouldn't be worth talking about if it produced robotic, joyless children. In fact, French kids are just as boisterous, curious, and creative as Americans. They're just far better behaved and more in command of themselves. While some American toddlers are getting Mandarin tutors and preliteracy training, French kids are- by design-toddling around and discovering the world at their own pace.
With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman-a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal-sets out to learn the secrets to raising a society of good little sleepers, gourmet eaters, and reasonably relaxed parents. She discovers that French parents are extremely strict about some things and strikingly permissive about others. And she realizes that to be a different kind of parent, you don't just need a different parenting philosophy. You need a very different view of what a child actually is.
While finding her own firm non, Druckerman discovers that children-including her own-are capable of feats she'd never imagined.Genre : Documentaire / Non Fiction Nature (forme/thème) : Société / Culture Permalink : http://librarycatalog.francedc.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16408 Exemplaires

Relations parents-enfants / Parents-children relationshipsIndex. décimale : 306 Cultures et sociétés françaises et francophones Résumé : When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a "French parent." But she noticed that French children slept through the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and creative. Why? How?
With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman set out to investigate—and wound up sparking a national debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up Bébé is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to become a classic resource for American parents.Genre : Documentaire / Non Fiction Nature (forme/thème) : Roman/Société / Culture Permalink : http://librarycatalog.francedc.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19720 Réservation

Titre : Can Islam be French? : pluralism and pragmatism in a secularist state Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John R. Bowen Editeur : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 230 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-13283-9 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : France
Musulman / Muslim
Politique / PoliticsIndex. décimale : 306 Cultures et sociétés françaises et francophones Résumé : Can Islam Be French? is an anthropological examination of how Muslims are responding to the conditions of life in France. Following up on his book Why the French Don't Like Headscarves, John Bowen turns his attention away from the perspectives of French non-Muslims to focus on those of the country's Muslims themselves. Bowen asks not the usual question--how well are Muslims integrating in France?--but, rather, how do French Muslims think about Islam? In particular, Bowen examines how French Muslims are fashioning new Islamic institutions and developing new ways of reasoning and teaching. He looks at some of the quite distinct ways in which mosques have connected with broader social and political forces, how Islamic educational entrepreneurs have fashioned niches for new forms of schooling, and how major Islamic public actors have set out a specifically French approach to religious norms. All of these efforts have provoked sharp responses in France and from overseas centers of Islamic scholarship, so Bowen also looks closely at debates over how--and how far--Muslims should adapt their religious traditions to these new social conditions. He argues that the particular ways in which Muslims have settled in France, and in which France governs religions, have created incentives for Muslims to develop new, pragmatic ways of thinking about religious issues in French society.

Hip hopIndex. décimale : 306 Cultures et sociétés françaises et francophones Résumé : Rap, smurf, break, tags, graffs, Zulu Nation... Ces mots, un peu étranges pour qui n'est pas affranchi, représentent la partie visible d'un mouvement qui se développe.
Véritable culture de rue, le hip-hop a un langage, un état d'esprit, des signes de reconnaissance, une mémoire, une prospective, le sentiment d'une appartenance revendiquée ou attribuée.
Dans cet ouvrage original, véritable " somme " sur la question, Hugues Bazin explore, à travers la parole de ses acteurs, l'histoire de ce mouvement, ses différentes expressions culturelles et artistiques - danse, musique, langage, graphisme - , son inscription sociale et urbaine.
Bien au-delà du simple phénomène de mode, le hip-hop, comme culture, est révélateur des fonctionnements et des blocages de notre société, et de la formidable force créative des arts de la rue. C'est le signe d'une profonde évolution.Genre : Documentaire / Non Fiction Nature (forme/thème) : Rap / Slam / Hip-hop/Société / Culture Permalink : http://librarycatalog.francedc.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14837 Réservation
