Blan: Blanc en quête de créolité aux Antilles
C’est l’histoire d’un jeune homme d’une trentaine d’année qui en 2000, à l’aube du XXIe siècle arrive en Guadeloupe sans rien connaître du pays. Ou très peu. Il vient rejoindre la femme de sa vie, c’est ce qu’il explique dans le roman graphique et autobiographique, qu’il vient de publier aux éditions Long Cours. Faut-il préciser la couleur de sa peau ?
Diogène en banlieue | Effondrement
Le lycée tombe littéralement en morceaux. Après l’effondrement du plafond de sa salle de classe, un professeur de philosophie assiste, impuissant, à l’embrasement matériel et symbolique de l’École.

The Phusiris women: Bolivian musicians challenging social mores

PARTITION VOICES
While for India their defining moment would of course be partition, a division imposed on India and Pakistan by the retreating British government.

Emily in Paris and the French Cultural Exception
Emily in Paris offers a playful, stereotype-laden portrait of French cultural exceptionalism viewed through American eyes. Darren Star’s glossy Netflix series follows a young Chicago marketing professional navigating Parisian elegance, arrogance, charm, and contradiction. As Emily confronts workplace tensions, cultural misunderstandings, and the city’s enduring clichés—both flattering and unflattering—the series reveals how American values collide with French savoir-faire. The result is a light yet revealing exploration of the myths and realities that continue to define Paris’s global allure.
