Personal fest 2014 jean jaures biography

We discovered this magnificent solo in 2016, as part of Dimanche à Rennes. In this first solo exercise, the dancer and choreographer from Marseille took us on a journey around the Centenary of the First World War as he explored the figure of his father. Performed in Rennes at the Square de la Motte, then at the Cimetière de l'Est, Jean returns to the cemetery six years later. This time around, we have been able to programme the complete version of what has since become a “trilogy” with Vous êtes ici (2018) and his latest creation, Michèle (2022). A three-day immersion into the fascinating world of Patrice de Bénédetti, a dancer and artist who is definitely unlike any other.

The history of France from 1900 to the present includes:

Geography

In 1914, the territory of France was different from today's France in two important ways: most of Alsace and the northeastern part of Lorraine had been annexed by Germany in 1870 (following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871), and the North African country of Algeria had been established as an integral part of France (department) in 1848. Alsace-Lorraine would be restored at the end of World War I (only to be lost again, temporarily, to the Germans a second time during World War II).

Demographics

Main article: Demographics of France

Unlike other European countries France did not experience a strong population growth in the mid-to-late 19th century and first half of the 20th century. That would be compounded by the massive French losses of World War I, roughly estimated at 1.4 million French dead including civilians (or nearly 10% of the active adult male population) and four times as many wounded — and World War II, estimated at 593,000 French dead (one-and-a-half times the number of American dead), of which 470,000 were civilians. From a population of around 39 million in 1880, France still had only a population of 40 million in 1945. The post-war years would bring a massive "baby boom", and with immigration, France reached 50 million in 1968. This growth slowed down in 1974.

Since 1999, France has seen an unprecedented growth in population. In 2004, population growth was 0.68% and almost reached North American levels (2004 was the year with the highest increase in French population since 1974). France is now well ahead of all other European countries in population growth (except for the Republic of Ireland) and in 2003, France's natural population growth (excluding immigration) was responsible for almost all

1The one-day symposium on memories of the civil rights movement (Mémoire(s) du mouvement pour les droits civiques), held at the University of Toulouse - Jean Jaurès on February 28, 2014, brought together six scholars whose work evaluates how the cultural memories emerging from the mid-twentieth century civil rights struggle in the United States are shaped in words and images. Organized by two members of the Toulouse based research group “Cultures Anglo-Saxonnes” (CAS), the symposium was part of a larger, multi-disciplinary project, “MémoCris,” which brings together researchers in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines to study the memories of minority populations. The papers presented at the symposium and the discussions that followed brought to light the selectivity of memory and considered how iconic representations of past events have been an inspiration and sometimes a burden or an obstacle to the descendants of those involved in the struggle. Whereas official versions of the period and of black history tend to focus on a small number of charismatic figures, the symposium gave a broader sense of the multiplicity of voices and viewpoints that contributed and still contribute to the ongoing work of making the United States a more just and racially equitable society.

2The symposium opened with a paper on “Remembering the Civil Rights Struggle through the Nonfiction Films of Madeline Anderson,” presented by the first keynote speaker, Delphine Letort (Université du Maine), author of Du film noir au néo-noir: mythes et stéréotypes de l’Amérique (2010). Delphine Letort began by observing that early representations of the civil rights movement through the biographies of a few major figures has given way to a more complete picture that takes into account the importance of local activists. In recent years, African Am

French naval officer

Louis Jaurès (18 August 1860 – 30 October 1937) was a French naval officer who rose to the rank of rear admiral during World War I. He was the brother of the statesman Jean Jaurès. After retirement he was elected a deputy in the National Assembly of France.

Naval career

Early years

Marie Paul Louis Jaurès was born in Castres, Tarn, on 18 August 1860. His parents were Jules Jaurès (1819–82), a cloth merchant, and Adélaïde Barbaza (1822–1906). His father was a committed Orléanist. His brother was the future socialist leader Jean Jaurès (1859–1914). His father's first cousins were the admirals Charles and Benjamin Jaurès, whom Jean and Louis considered as uncles.

Louis and Jean Jaurès both studied at the Collège de Castres. Louis was a good student, and won the second prize in geography. In 1878 the Jaurès brothers were at an event in Castres where the sub-Prefect spoke in praise of the French nation but did not mention the Republic, and ended with "Vive la France!". Louis Jaurès at once called out "Vive la République!". When a Bonapartist colonel reprimanded him, Jaurès responded that France was indeed a republic. Neither his father or brother supported him.

In 1876 Jaurès entered the École Navale. In September 1880 he was a midshipman (aspirant) on the avisoDumont d'Urville. He became an ensign (enseigne de vaisseau) on 5 October 1881. In 1881 he was on board the cruiser Magicienne, a sailing ship, in the Antilles naval division. In 1882 he was
