About Gaby Casadesus Born Gabrielle l'Hôte, she studied at the Paris Conservatory with Louis Diémer and Marguerite Long and was awarded the first prize in piano at age 16. She met Claude Debussy at this time, as he was the judge for one of her competitions. Gaby later won the Prix Pagès, which was the most prestigious award in France at the time for which women were eligible. In 1921, she married the pianist Robert Casadesus and with him formed the Robert and Gaby Casadesus duo. The duo made many recordings of the four-hand piano repertoire. However, Gaby was also a significant soloist. She knew Maurice Ravel, Gabriel Fauré, Florent Schmitt and Moritz Moszkowski, and her interpretations were aided by their guidance. Her repertoire also included Felix Mendelssohn, whose music she effectively championed, and the keyboard composers of the Baroque era. As a teacher, Gaby Casadesus taught in the US, at the Salzburg Mozarteum, at the Académie Maurice Ravel in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and most notably at the American Conservatoire at Fontainebleau. Among her notable pupils are Donna Amato, David Deveau, Rudy Toth, and Vladimir Valjarević. After her husband's death in 1972, she worked with Grant Johannesen and Odette Valabrègue Wurtzburger, to found the Robert Casadesus International Piano Competition which ran from 1975 to 1993. Casadesus died November 12, 1999, at age 98 in Paris. She is buried with her husband and son, Jean in Recloses, department of Seine-et-Marne. About Thereselink to buy book -- https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Gaby-Casadesus-Piano-Recital/dp/B00000DSHBCasadesus Rawson Daughter of the late French pianists Robert and Gaby Casadesus, Therese Casadesus Rawson received a Ph.D. in French language and literature from the University of Pennsylvania in 1977. She has taught French, Humanities, French Diction and French vocal repertoire to singers at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia for nearly 30 years. Besides teaching and performing—she is a soprano focusing on Bach and French repertoire--Therese Casadesus Rawson is also active as a lecturer in a variety of topics pertaining to French culture, music, literature, painting, culinary arts. She has been and continues to be involved with French or Franco-American cultural institutions. She was President of the Alliance Française de Philadelphie for nearly 10 years, and has been President of the Fontainebleau Associations for 25 years: the stateside support group which helps organize and finance the summer Music and Fine Arts program at the Château de Fontainebleau. Therese's involvement with the Fontainebleau Schools is steeped in the legacy of her famous parents, Robert and Gaby, and her brother Jean, who were themselves devoted to the Fontainebleau Schools, teaching extensively at the Conservatoire Américain (the music side of the program). Remarkably, Robert and Gaby succeeded in running the program in New England during World War II and Gaby continued to teach until her passing in 1999 at the age of 98. The French Government awarded Therese the Palmes Académiques in recognition of her teaching activities, and, in 2001, she was named to the rank of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres on account of her efforts on behalf of Franco-American cultural affairs.

In this edition of arts24, we meet the breakout star of one of the most anticipated films of the year. American actress Monica Barbaro plays folk music icon Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown", opposite Franco-American star Timothée Chalamet in the main role. They have both been nominated for an Oscar. Monica has gone from flying fighter jets in "Top Gun: Maverick" with Tom Cruise to fighting baddies for the CIA next to Arnold Schwarzenegger in the series "Fubar". Our culture editor Eve Jackson met her as "A Complete Unknown" premiered in Paris.

Franco-American actress Lily-Rose Depp sits down with FRANCE 24 to talk about taking on the leading role in Robert Eggers' stylish update of the classic vampire horror film "Nosferatu". From her deep-seated love of gothic horror to the secret desires harboured by her character, Depp says this latest film was a "dream collaboration". We also meet Franco-Algerian director Chakib Taleb-Bendiab, whose debut film explores how the violence of the 1990s civil war has repercussions in today's Algeria. Plus our reporters catch up with the singer who is working to have Iranian women's voices heard far from home.

The French have long self-identified as champions of universal emancipation, yet the republicanism they adopted has often been faulted for being exclusionary – of women, foreigners, and religious and ethnic minorities. Can republicanism be an attractive alternative to liberalism, communism, and communitarianism, or is it fundamentally flawed? Sharing Freedom: Republicanism and Exclusion in Revolutionary France (Cambridge UP, 2024) traces the development of republicanism from an older elitist theory of freedom into an inclusive theory of emancipation during the French Revolution. It uncovers the theoretical innovations of Rousseau and of revolutionaries such as Sieyès, Robespierre, Condorcet, and Grouchy. We learn how they struggled to adapt republicanism to the new circumstances of a large and diverse France, full of poor and dependent individuals with little education or experience of freedom. Analysing the argumentative logic that led republicans to justify the exclusion of many, this book renews the republican tradition and connects it with the enduring issues of colonialism, immigration, slavery, poverty and gender. Geneviève Rousselière is a Franco-American political theorist. She is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Duke University. She is the co-editor of Republicanism and the Future of Democracy (Cambridge University Press, 2019). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

He was an icon of la chanson française. Charles Aznavour's lyrical talent illuminated the 20th century and shone until his death in 2018. The singer-songwriter's life has now been brought to the screen by Mehdi Idir and slam poet Grand Corps Malade. Film critic Perrine Quennesson tells us why actor Tahar Rahim's performance as "Monsieur Aznavour" is an excellent reason to see the film. We also discuss another biopic, "Niki", which revisits the trials and triumphs of Franco-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle. Plus we check out François Ozon's latest family drama "When Fall is Coming" and an animated feature, "Savages", which blends environmental questions with a jungle adventure.

Ceasefire or all-out war? While Israel's prime minister headed to UN Week in New York, his office stated that Binyamin Netanyahu had not even started considering a Franco-American plan for a 21-day truce with Hezbollah. Word of the plan was greeted with immediate pushback from hawks within Netanyahu's right-wing cabinet. As Israeli jets continue to pound Lebanon, as top brass talk up the potential for a ground invasion, Hezbollah and its main backer Iran are more circumspect: they are still reeling from last week's exploding electronic devices and the killing of three of the militant group's top commanders. They would gladly consider an all-in-one US plan to wind up fighting both in Gaza and on Lebanon's border. The question remains: what are Israel's goals going forward? Has it weakened Hezbollah enough? Has it restored an aura of regional might that first teetered with its inconclusive 2006 war with Hezbollah and then shattered last October 7 when Hamas attacked from Gaza? Can a prime minister who probably faces an inquiry over Gaza when the guns go silent keep up a perpetual state of war? And is Lebanon doomed to forever remain a battleground for all the region's proxy wars?Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Mélissa Kalaydjian.

The authors included in the book come from a wide range of cultures and countries, including Palestine, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco. In “Asha and Haaji,” Hanif Kureishi takes up the cause of outsiders who become uprooted when war or disaster strikes and they flee for safe haven. In Nektaria Anastasiadou‘s “The Location of the Soul According to Benyamin Alhadeff,” two students in Istanbul from different classes — and religions that have often been at odds with one another — believe they can overcome all obstacles. MK Harb‘s story, “Counter Strike,” is about queer love among Beiruti adolescents; and Salar Abdoh‘s “The Long Walk of the Martyrs” invites us into the world of former militants, fighters who fought ISIS or Daesh in Iraq and Syria, who are having a hard time readjusting to civilian life. In “Eleazar,” Karim Kattan tells an unexpected Palestinian story in which the usual antagonists — Israeli occupation forces — are mostly absent, while another malevolent force seems to overtake an unsuspecting family. Omar El Akkad‘s “The Icarist” is a coming-of-age story about the underworld in which illegal immigrants are forced to live, and what happens when one dares to break away. Contributors include: Salar Abdoh, Leila Aboulela, Farah Ahamed, Omar El Akkad, Sarah AlKahly-Mills, Nektaria Anastasiadou, Amany Kamal Eldin, Jordan Elgrably, Omar Foda, May Haddad, Danial Haghighi, Malu Halasa, MK Harb, Alireza Iranmehr, Karim Kattan, Hanif Kureishi, Ahmed Salah Al-Mahdi, Diary Marif, Tariq Mehmood, Sahar Mustafah, Mohammed Al-Naas, Ahmed Naji, Mai Al-Nakib, Abdellah Taia, and Natasha Tynes.

English Summary: In this episode, Robert Daigle shares his experiences with the French language in Maine and beyond. A French teacher at the Fort Kent Community High School and Valley Rivers Middle School, Robert grew up between two languages. As a child, he gradually lost contact with his maternal tongue due to an educational system that did not value French. He nevertheless made a commitment to his ancestors' tongue through studies in Orono, Maine, and Quebec City. He worked as an interpreter for the U.S. embassy in Paris and returned home to pass the torch to a new generation of St. John Valley residents. Here, Robert discusses the challenge of honoring the distinct vocabulary, idioms, and pronunciations of the St. John Valley while ensuring that his students can engage with a larger francophone world. He has led an annual exchange with high school students from Cholet, France, for many years and hopes to bring to fruition intergenerational activities that will help young people acquire French. The discussion explores the history of the region especially as a meeting point between the Acadian culture of the Maritime provinces and French Canadians from the St. Lawrence valley of Quebec. The issue of bilingual education is also addressed. Further, we hear from Robert's mother, 88-year-old Béatrice (Jacques) Daigle, who continues to live independently in Fort Kent. Béatrice's Jacques ancestors have their own interesting Franco-American journey through New York State, Massachusetts, and Maine. Résumé Français: Dans cet épisode, Robert Daigle partage ses expériences avec la langue française dans le Maine et ailleurs. Professeur de français à la Fort Kent Community High School et à la Valley Rivers Middle School, Robert a grandi entre deux langues. Il a perdu contact avec sa langue maternelle pendant sa jeunesse en raison d'un système éducatif qui ne valorisait pas le français. Il a repris le fil de la langue de ses ancêtres notamment en étudiant à Orono, Maine, et à Québec. Il a travaillé comme interprète pour l'ambassade américaine à Paris pour ensuite rentrer chez lui et tendre le flambeau à une nouvelle génération de gens du haut fleuve Saint-Jean. Ici, Robert discute du défi d'honorer le vocabulaire, les expressions et les prononciations caractéristiques de la vallée du fleuve Saint-Jean tout en veillant à ce que ses élèves puissent interagir avec une francophonie plus étendue. Il anime depuis plusieurs années un échange avec des élèves du secondaire de Cholet, en France, et espère concrétiser des activités intergénérationnelles qui aideront les jeunes à apprendre le français. La conversation explore l'histoire de la région en tant que point de rencontre entre la culture acadienne des provinces maritimes et la population canadienne-française de la vallée du Saint-Laurent, au Québec. La question de l'éducation bilingue est aussi abordée. Nous entendons également le témoignage de la mère de Robert, Béatrice (Jacques) Daigle, âgée de 88 ans, qui continue de vivre de manière indépendante à Fort Kent. La lignée de la famille Jacques a son propre parcours franco-américain intéressant à travers l'état de New York, le Massachusetts et le Maine.

Counter to type Eric welcomes Eliot back from his travels with a discussion of the positive things going on in the world. They discuss the strong response of the European allies to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, including the German Zeitenwende and the increase in German defense spending, they discuss the Franco-American relationship and the fact that France has emerged over the past twenty years as a much stronger and capable ally, the discuss the Ukrainian naval performance in the Black Sea and the return of grain exports to almost pre-war levels, they talk about Tucker Carlson beclowning himself in his interview with Putin and that latter's unconcealed contempt for his interviewer, they talk about the PRC's muted reaction to President Lai's election in Taiwan and the seeming slight and perhaps transitory improvement in US-China relations, as well as the good work of the Biden Administration in strengthening the links among U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific. They discuss the indictment of Jair Bolsonaro and the success of Ecuador's President in fighting drug cartels and gangs. Eric also apologizes to Foreign Affairs editor Daniel Kurtz-Phelan for misattributing an article to his journal that actually appeared on the Council of Foreign Relations website. https://www.ft.com/content/51cf54ed-55df-4369-bdef-6f98be17d26c sonofadiplomat.substack.com https://www.sgdsn.gouv.fr/files/files/20240212_NP_SGDSN_VIGINUM_PORTAL-KOMBAT-NETWORK_ENG_VF.pdf Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Alban Maino shares his journey as founder of Memory Lane TV, a multi-sensory series of programs adapted for people living with dementia and their care partners, backed by 50 years of scientific research. Learn why standard television programming can be detrimental for those with cognitive impairment, and how Memory Lane TV can ease stress and anxiety and improve quality of life. About Alban Alban Maino is a Franco-American documentary film producer based in Portland, Maine, and the founder of Memory Lane TV, the “Netflix of dementia.” The creation of Memory Lane TV was inspired by his personal experience caring for his grandmother.   He explains, “When my grandmother, Rosette, was affected by Alzheimer's, I searched for a tool, an intervention, something to help manage her symptoms, but found there were no effective options available. I delved into the published research and slowly discovered decades of investigations into sensory stimulation and memory. Eventually I was able to leverage my media background and construct some sensory stimulation tools based on that research that helped with my grandmother's symptoms. This was the genesis of Memory Lane TV.”   Key Takeaways Standard television is not ideal for individuals with cognitive decline. Complicated plot lines and distressing content can be overwhelming. The best TV for individuals with cognitive decline is plot-free, image-focused, and calming. This kind of programming is a positive behavioral intervention. Television programming can serve as a redirection technique. Like young children, older adults with cognitive decline may need redirection to ease acute stress, anxiety, and fear. Combining images with olfactory stimulation can enhance therapeutic benefits. Smell is a direct pathway to memory, so providing aromatherapy along with TV programming can help with memory recall and enhance the experience.

Kath and Jan welcome the powerful dancer Daisy Kate Jacobson to the podcast as we parse the meanings of lissome, lithe and willowy as it relates to dancers. Like a true dancer, however, Daisy prefers to concentrate on strength, rather than patriarchal labels. We talk about Daisy's evolution from being a tiny child chorus member in The Nutcracker to playing the lead, Clara. After attending Juilliard, she worked with LA Dance Project and now is a protégé of Twyla Tharp, after working on Twyla's reboot of “Nine Sinatra Songs.” Kath and Jan realize they are old enough to remember the original version of that piece in back in the day. We discuss Daisy's Franco-American roots, her commitment to being mostly vegan, and how to maintain balanced eating with the torching of calories that comes with dance. We talk about Daisy and her boyfriend sharing cooking duties and eating disorders within the dance community. Daisy reveals how she needs to supplement her diet with animal products to help with a hip injury. Finally, Daisy almost convinces Kath & Jan to take an adult ballet class, currently the subject of a documentary she is working on. As long as we can wear sweats, we are in. A fascinating and illuminating conversation. Listen in!

What stories remain hidden behind one of the most significant inventions of the nineteenth century? Kaleidophonic Modernity: Transatlantic Sound, Technology, and Literature (Fordham University Press, 2023) reexamines the development of mechanical sound recording technology by charting the orbits of writers, scientists, and artists in France and the United States. Working between comparative literature, the history of science, and urban studies, Dr. Brett Brehm builds a bridge between visual culture and sound studies. Kaleidophonic Modernity places the poet and inventor Charles Cros and his lover, the celebrated concert pianist and salonnière Nina de Villard at the heart of modern aesthetic and scientific vanguards. Cros's scientific endeavors ranged from color photography, to telecommunications, to mechanical sound reproducibility. In his poetry the Surrealists found an ancestor and inspiration. His literary and scientific works prove startling and relevant to predicaments of technological media in his own time and ours. For nearly twenty years Nina de Villard presided over a supremely daring intellectual salon. There, she welcomed manifold literary, artistic, and musical luminaries into a veritable crucible of the artistic avant-garde and precursor to the famous Chat Noir cabaret. Together, these two forgotten but pivotal figures, Cros and Villard, help reframe our thinking on Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, and Walt Whitman, icons of urban modernity who can now be seen and heard in a kaleidophonic light, one that offers a compelling new perspective on modern mediascapes. In elaborating this transatlantic phenomenon, Kaleidophonic Modernity illuminates the prehistory of the phonograph as it intersects with the aesthetics of sound reproducibility, Franco-American literary exchange, Poe's aesthetic and intellectual legacy, the sounds of modern cities and technologies, and the genealogy of audiovisual experimentation found in such movements as Dada, Futurism, and the sound art of today. Annie deSaussure, holds a Ph.D. in French from Yale University and is an Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies in the Department of Languages and Literary Studies at Lafayette College.

What stories remain hidden behind one of the most significant inventions of the nineteenth century? Kaleidophonic Modernity: Transatlantic Sound, Technology, and Literature (Fordham University Press, 2023) reexamines the development of mechanical sound recording technology by charting the orbits of writers, scientists, and artists in France and the United States. Working between comparative literature, the history of science, and urban studies, Dr. Brett Brehm builds a bridge between visual culture and sound studies. Kaleidophonic Modernity places the poet and inventor Charles Cros and his lover, the celebrated concert pianist and salonnière Nina de Villard at the heart of modern aesthetic and scientific vanguards. Cros's scientific endeavors ranged from color photography, to telecommunications, to mechanical sound reproducibility. In his poetry the Surrealists found an ancestor and inspiration. His literary and scientific works prove startling and relevant to predicaments of technological media in his own time and ours. For nearly twenty years Nina de Villard presided over a supremely daring intellectual salon. There, she welcomed manifold literary, artistic, and musical luminaries into a veritable crucible of the artistic avant-garde and precursor to the famous Chat Noir cabaret. Together, these two forgotten but pivotal figures, Cros and Villard, help reframe our thinking on Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, and Walt Whitman, icons of urban modernity who can now be seen and heard in a kaleidophonic light, one that offers a compelling new perspective on modern mediascapes. In elaborating this transatlantic phenomenon, Kaleidophonic Modernity illuminates the prehistory of the phonograph as it intersects with the aesthetics of sound reproducibility, Franco-American literary exchange, Poe's aesthetic and intellectual legacy, the sounds of modern cities and technologies, and the genealogy of audiovisual experimentation found in such movements as Dada, Futurism, and the sound art of today.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the treaties France entered into with the United States of America in 1778, to give open support to the USA in its revolutionary war against Britain and to promote French trade across the Atlantic. This alliance had profound consequences for all three. The French navy, in particular, played a decisive role in the Americans' victory in their revolution, but the great cost of supporting this overseas war fell on French taxpayers, highlighting the need for reforms which in turn led to the French Revolution. Then, when France looked to its American ally for support in the new French revolutionary wars with Britain, Americans had to choose where their longer term interests lay, and they turned back from the France that had supported them to the Britain they had just been fighting, and France and the USA fell into undeclared war at sea.
