Les bibliothèques : des identités-palimpsestes by Géraldine Sfez

“…Le désir latent, en attente, de la lecture se révèle aussi important que la mémoire des choses lues.C’est sur cette double dimension de mémoire et de projection, propre aux bibliothèques personnelles, que nous voudrions mettre l’accent afin de montrer que si la bibliothèque peut esquisser une identité, celle-ci se donne sous la forme non pas claire et transparente d’un portrait, mais sous celle complexe d’une identité qui se construit dans le temps, d’une identité-palimpseste.…”

Les monolingues parlent aux bilingues : Plurilinguisme et parole politique aux États-Unis et au Canada by Charles Brasart

“…In traditionally monolingual countries, or countries with important immigrant populations, bilingualism may be perceived as a threat to national cohesion because of its marginal dimension. Conversely, if a monolingual speaker tries to adopt a strategy of convergence, that may be perceived as over-accommodation, a rhetorical trick likely to result in a face-threatening act both for bilingual speakers and other monolingual speakers.The present article is a reflection based on three case studies, namely the way or ways in which Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau address (or do not) linguistic minorities. …”
