The article presents the crisis intervention model devised by Andreoli (Geneva) which is currently being developed in most crisis units and emergency services in the French-speaking countries of Europe. Two clinical examples are presented: the Short Therapy Centre (Geneva, Switzerland) and the crisis unit of the Saint-Luc Clinic (Brussels, Belgium). The following aspects of these approaches are discussed: (a) the need for crisis intervention rather than a simple answer to emergency, (b) the need for crisis intervention in all acute psychiatric disorders and not only in psychosocial problems, (c) the need to integrate psychiatric hospitalization into a coherent mental health policy, (d) the need for well-trained and round-the-clock teams, (e) the need for continuity of care.

La terminographie se réduit-elle à la lexicographie spécialisée? L'expérience que les pays francophones ont faite de la terminologie donne à penser qu'il s'agit plutôt de deux méthodologies proches, qui puisent en partie, mais non exclusivement, dans les mêmes sources, et qui ont des finalités qui ne sont pas nécessairement identiques. Une part importante de la distinction serait d'ordre culturel, et nous proposons une explication personnelle de cette spécificité, qui, en France comme au Québec, lie la terminologie, et donc la terminographie, à la politique linguistique.

In this article we discuss a number of objectives we consider important for improving graduate training. In addition, we propose several methods by which each objective may be attained. The suggestions are geared toward Francophone universities in Europe (including France, Belgium, and Switzerland) and their particular constraints, but they may prove useful for colleagues in other countries as well. First, we discuss how doctoral students can receive top-quality training in order to acquire the knowledge specific to the demands of a future university professor and researcher. Next, we develop more general objectives, including the development of a broad view of the discipline and the acquisition of skills such as the ability to write and publish scientific articles. We also emphasize the involvement of graduate students in professional activities and the necessity of developing close contacts with members of the broader scientific community. Finally, we discuss the selection of and the financial support for graduate students.

The renewal of religious thought in fifteenth-and sixteenth-century Italy was largely determined by the peninsula's geopolitical fragmentation – a fragmentation which manifested in the emergence of multiple centres of interpretation of sacred texts, located in many different places. The spread of evangelist and the reformation theories were likewise linked, especially in the lay population, to regional variations; notably those concerning the literacy rates of the middle and lower classes, which varied according to the economic models adopted by the different regions. The presence of a literate, administrating and trading class in Italy's principal commercial and financial centres (Venice, Genoa, Siena and Florence) frequently went hand in hand with a certain degree of literacy in the lower classes; it was not uncommon, for example, to find craftsmen, artists, barber-surgeons, small shopkeepers and traders who could and did read in the vernacular. In addition, the existence of a network of studii and universities – often situated in relatively out-of-the-way towns with respect to the main religious and political centres of Italy (Padua, Bologna, Pisa) – favoured the development of written culture and reading practices centred, first, around the workshops of copyists and, later, around the first printing presses. If, in addition, we consider the massive presence of literate, regular and secular clergy in the urban milieux, and the organisation of councils in various Italian towns during the 15 th and 16 th centuries, it comes as no surprise that the reinterpretation of religious thought became at this time a major subject of interest for the middle-and, to a certain extent, lower-class urban milieux. The rural world was less affected by these phenomena, at least during the 15 th century. In southern Italy, where the latifundia and general urban rarefaction determined the acculturation of the poorest classes, new circles of interpretation do not seem to have emerged at all. However, in Calabria, Puglia (as in some ...

French Today is a profile of the French language in its social context. British and French linguists examine trends in French throughout the French-speaking world, and address issues around prescriptivism, gender and language, and regional languages and dialects. The collection includes overviews of work done in particular areas and deeper analyses of sociolinguistic questions. One theme is how to represent and interpret data relating to language varieties that have been marginalised. Another concerns the ways in which French is adapting to the future, whether as a language of new technology, or as a vehicular language on the continent. All chapters of this book are in English, with examples and quotations in French, and a mixture of references given in both languages. At the end of each chapter, there are also texts in French, serving as illustration and as pointers to further reading

"Postcolonial theory" has become one of the key issues of scholarly debates worldwide; debates, so the author argues, which have become rather sterile and are characterized by a repetitive reworking of old hackneyed issues, focussing on cultural questions of language and identity in particular. Gradually, a gulf has emerged between Anglophone and Francophone thinking in this area. The author investigates the causes for the apparent stagnation that has overtaken much of the current debate and explores the particular characteristics of French global strategy and cultural policy, as well as the divergent responses to current debates on globalization. Outlining in particular the contribution of thinkers such as Cesaire, Senghor, Memmi, Sartre and Fanon to the worldwide development of anti-imperialist ideas, she offers a critical perspective on the ongoing difficulties of France's relationship with its colonial and postcolonial Others and suggests new lines of thought that are currently emerging in the Francophone world, which may have the capacity to take these debates. --
