50 years of UW-Madison in Aix-en-Provence
Join UW-Madison Alumni and Friends for a event:
On
Friday,
June 22, those in attendance of the UW-Aix Cinquantenaire Celebration
will embark on a journey to rediscover the heart of Provence, beginning
with a visit to the northern village of Eygalières. We will take in the
sights, sounds and smells of the market and meet our guide, Jane Satow.
She will take the group further into the heart of the Alpilles region,
giving us a
glimpse of Provençal life and culture across the millennia.
From
beauty and art we will turn our attention to the culinary delights of
the region with a stop at Glanum for a catered picnic lunch and
a step back into the early history of Provence, exploring the village's
Roman
ruins. Our day will end learning first-hand about the ancient
and enduring
Provençal tradition of olive cultivation and production at the olive
mill of Maussane. Before returning to the 'big city' of Aix, the group
will take one final glimpse of the region perched high above the jagged
valley in Les Baux de Provence.

Haiti needs you! Become a virtual French/English exchange partner
Interested in having a Haitian French language exchange partner and teaching English to young Haitian entrepreneurs?
2010 UW graduate Eyleen Chou has been living and working in Haiti a year and a half working with some phenomenal young entrepreneurs through Inveneo's BATI program. All of them want to work on their English.
Inveneo's BATI program strives to install a wireless internet network in Haïti while helping the country's citizens, small business owners and local organizations connect with the world and develop their I.T. potential. In doing so, they hope to hand over to the Haitians the ability to build, maintain and support Internet connection throughout the country.
Eyleen Chou, Volunteer Systems Engineer, is looking for 20 students of French who are
interested in committing to about 1 hour a week to Skype with these
motivated Haitian technicians. The language exchange would be informal and can include sharing songs, practicing pronunciation, or watching online videos. Of course, Eyleen will always be available to help get people started and follow through to promote a strong commitment on behalf of the volunteers to practice language with their Haitian partners.
This is a great opportunity for students of French, especially French education majors, to improve their French language and francophone cultural skills, all the while making a difference in our world by connecting with eager learners in Haïti.
Students who are interested in finding out more, please fill out this online form (it takes 2 minutes) and Eyleen will respond directly to you.

Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life: film Wedneday
Taking the best from La Vie En Rose and Amelie, renowned comic book artist Joann Sfar's Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is a completely original take on one of France's greatest mavericks, the illustrious and infamous Jewish singer-songwriter, Serge Gainsbourg (Eric Elmosnino).
Born Lucien Ginsburg to Russian-Jewish parents, Sfar follows him from his precocious childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris, to his beginnings as small time jazz musician and finally pop superstar. Along the way he romances many of the era's most beautiful women, including Juliette Greco (Anna Mouglalis), Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta) and Jane Birkin (Lucy Gordon). Employing a witty surrealistic style and a soundtrack that includes many of the musician's greatest hits, Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is a quintessential time capsule to '60's Paris.
Click here for more information about the film.

Wednesday, February 22nd at 7:00pm

'“Calabash Cinema”: The Fall and Rise of Francophone African Film'
UW-Madison Institute for Research in the Humanities Seminar
February 6, 2012
3:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.
212 University Club Building
presented by Aliko Songolo
French and Italian, African Languages and Literature, UW-Madison
Since its inception a half century ago, Francophone African cinema has been fraught with contradictions and controversies. Early on, it sought to tell the story of newly independent nations, but while doing so, it remained moored to the vision and resources of the colonial power, France, which long attempted to deter its existence in the first place. Now in the midst of a greatly changed cinematic landscape on a continental scale, a younger generation of filmmakers has called those earlier films “Calabash Cinema” because of perceived misrepresentations of the indigene that were reminiscent of stereotypical and demeaning Western images of Africa and Africans. Eschewing grand narratives of the Nation and of nation building, the new generation of films strives to turn a more intimate gaze on the African subject in negotiation with the traps and trappings of globalization nearly as much as with forces of “tradition.” The subject in question, sometimes urban/urbane, sometimes rural/traditional is depicted in any case as far more complex than in earlier films. Yet, while claiming greater artistic independence, the new filmmakers remain reliant on the erstwhile colonial power, albeit no longer exclusively. The seminar will propose a reading of several films to examine the pursuit of new genres and forms produced despite of—and sometimes because of—the paradoxes and controversies, and the gradual waning of cultural nationalism.
Aliko Songolo is Halverson-Bascom Professor of French and Professor of African Languages and Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research and teaching interests lie primarily in Francophone literatures of Africa and the Caribbean, and Francophone cinemas of Africa and Québec. He has published a monograph (Aimé Césaire: une poétique de la découverte, 1985), two co-edited volumes (Twenty-five Years After Dakar and Fourah Bay: The Growth of African Literature, 1998, and Atlantic Cross-Currents/Transatlantiques, 2001), and was Associate Editor of the highly acclaimed five-volume New Encyclopedia of Africa (2008). He also edited special issues of two eminent journals in his field, French Review (1982) and Présence Francophone (2003), and published numerous articles. His current research projects investigate the question of national cinema in Québec and Francophone Africa, and postcoloniality in the wake of the Négritude movement.

Project1808, Inc was started as a personal venture by Alhaji N’jai using graduate school stipends as educational support for small number of students from his hometown Kabala. At the core of Project1808’s sustainable community model is an investment on disadvantaged youths, schools and their communities to form the building blocks, as in LEGO, of healthy communities in Sierra Leone and Africa. We engage and connect students, teachers, and community members through small pointed and targeted projects that address disconnects between learning and community problem solving. Our student-community project focus areas include, but not restricted to water accessibility, sanitation, small scale business, improve food production, renewable energy, and public health. By linking youth education to community needs in the most disadvantaged regions, we want to enhance creativity, innovation and develop next generation of compassionate leaders. Through specific GLocal (Global and Local) partnerships, we bring to practice the concept of thinking globally and acting locally that enhances knowledge exchange, cultural competency, while expanding their world view. Project 1808 is committed to optimizing partnerships between educational institutions locally, within Africa and overseas, particularly with involvement of other African countries.
Guest Chef: Dr. Alhaji Umar N’jai is a Scientist/Toxicologist at Procter & Gamble (P&G) Global Research & Development and Product Safety.

Making the case for French
a workshop for Wisconsin French teachers
Saturday, January 21, 2012, 9am-1:30pm
Learn to reach out and educate your community stakeholders — students, parents, administrators, school board members and local media — about the practical uses of French and the need to protect and enhance its place in our schools.
Bloomberg Rankings identifies French as the third-most-important business language in the world after English and Mandarin. And in the last 10 years, the number of francophones in the world has increased by 10% (from 200 to 220 million). But despite these indicators, budgets for public education continue to tighten, French is being squeezed out, and many of you are struggling to keep your programs off the chopping block.
“French continues to be an important language in international business and communication, diplomacy, scientific discovery and achievement,” says Gilles Bousquet, Dean of the UW–Madison Division of International Studies, Vice Provost for Globalization, and Pickard-Bascom Professor of French.
The list of facts supporting the argument for French in our schools is a long one, as you know all too well. Yet many of our administrators, school board members and elected officials remain uninformed or tend to ignore those compelling facts when making budgetary and curricular decisions.
This workshop in January is designed to help you meet those challenges head on and to prepare us all to be more effective advocates for French instruction in Wisconsin.
UW–Madison’s Division of International Studies, Center for Interdisciplinary French Studies, Department of French & Italian and the French House invite you to this a half-day workshop.
Panelists will include:
- Gerhard Fischer, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
- Mark Maley, Wisconsin busineman, President of the West Bend (WI) Public Schools Foundation
- Megan Costello, Director of Communications, UW-Madison College of Letters & Science
- Jennifer Herlein, Government and Public Affairs Attaché, Quebec Delegation, Chicago
- Mary Haight, French Instructor, Madison College
- Sage Goellner, Faculty Associate, UW Division of Continuing Studies
- Jean-Francois Rochard (tentative), Deputy Cultural Attaché, Consulate General of France in Chicago
- Ritt Deitz, Executive Director, UW–Madison Professional French Masters Program
- Gilles Bousquet, Dean of the UW Division of International Studies
Strength Through Networking: Making the Case for French
Saturday, January 21, 2012, 9am-1:30pm at
The French House (map) | Parking is available in the Lake & Frances St. Ramp. (map)
The program is free to all attendees and will include panel discussions on the stakeholders in this discussion and the resources available to make ourselves heard.

at the Chazen Museum Art (map)
Tati's beloved Monsieur Hulot finds himself in a futuristic funhouse of modern architecture and traffic jams as his once familiar Paris progresses uncontrollably. Hulot adapts to his new surroundings like a fish out of water, which, of course sets the stage for his charming and irresistible clumsiness. Utilizing astonishing sets and brilliant sound design, Tati achieves new levels of visual and aural complexity. (USA, 1967, 35mm, 124 min., subtitled)

Un, deux, trois? Un outil utile for les francophiles !
Learnmynumbers.com
un nouveau jeu pour pratiquer les chiffres en français
un nouveau jeu pour pratiquer les chiffres en français
Les chiffres en français sont toujours un casse-tête pour ceux qui n'ont pas grandi dans un pays où on ne questione pas la rationnelle derrière seize suivi de dix-sept, ou la possibilité de dire soixante mais ajoutez encore dix et vous avez soixante-dix, ou pire, quatre-vingt-dix-sept… dix-huit… dix-neuf… Mettre encore cent, deux cent (n'oubliez pas d'ajouter un 's' sur cent si vous avez plus que deux cent...) et ça devient encore plus compliqué.
Admettons, c’est un peu plus facile si vous pensez vous installer chez les Suisses ou les Belges qui maintiennent leur septante, octante/huitante, and nonante. Mais le chocolat à cinq euros nononte-neuf le kilo ne se vend pas en France.
Que faire, alors, pour réussir sur le terrain numérique en français hexigonal ? La réponse, bien sûr, c’est la répétition. Et voici un jeu pour vous aider.
Prenez votre ordinateur (pas votre iPad, malheuresement) et dirigez-vous vers Learnmynumbers.com. Cet outil vous permet de pratiquer les chiffres en français sans le stresse de la cassière qui vous attend.
Combien ça coûte ? Quelle heure est-il ? Avec un peu de répétition, ces questions ne vous poseront plus d’angoisse.

Causerie avec rappeur "sénéquois" Webster
4pm, Nov. 17
The French House (map)
Open to the public
Sa tournée à Madison débute avec un concert pour les étudiants de East High School et finit avec une causerie à la Maison Française sur sa musique, sa carrière, et sa vie.
Ecoutez sa musique
Consultez son dossier de presse
Lisez les paroles de trois de ces chansons:
L.Land
L.I. land born and raise negga
Rien d’nouveau sous l’sun
Les knifes les bats de base
Une autre claque où ils ont swing le Wilson
C’est plate mais c’set come d’hab
Les boys qui plot pour un peu d’cash
J’ai vu des sluts virer trop bad
Et puis des cops plaider coupable
See, j’ai rien d’un criminal
Mais j’habite la zone grisâtre
Où la ligne entre bien et Mal
Est embrouillée d’manière bizarre
Tout c’que j’dis est vrai
Si j’mens allez diss moi
Ya beaucoup d’thieves around
J’boirais bien un Klepto-Bismol
Et puis les kids se sont détournés d’Sesame street
La jeune a beaucoup de pression
Depuis que quelques de ses amies strip
Un virus dans l’district s’propage tel un streptocoque
De moins en moins artistiques
Now ils veulent être strapped au cock
On m’appelle Web l’Observateur
Celui qui garde les mains mi-propre
Et la police met bien d’l’ardeur
Pour c’qu’ils dénomment problème hip-hop
C’est trop dommage quand 2007
Qu’il y ait plus de clashs que de succès
Les gens d’en face ça les arrangent
Le plus on bash pour eux mieux c’est
J’suis sorry mais c’est ça
La Réalité frappe
comme un coup d’bat d’Sammy Sosa
C’t’incomfortable comme être mi-saucé
Each time ça les rend mal
Qu’on shoot l’autre side de la médail
Et dès que tu rentres dans les détails
C’est là qu’ils t’coupent le temps d’antenne
C’est amer t’as raison
Il n’y a plus de Mère Theresa
C’est à en perdre la raison
C’qu’ils ont pu faire comme trahison
Meurtre à coups de pierre
Afin de get la cargaison
En zonzon meurtre avec une couverte
Style camouflé en pendaison
Histoires de fake suicide
Et de vieilles putes saoûlent et sales
Qui arpentent la 3e ave
Pour se mettre des sous aside
C’t’une histoire de love entre le junkie et sa pipe
Ou encore c’t’une histoire de puff
Entre homies qui tourne mal
Du haut de la tour comme un muezzin
J’te parle comme Seif dans 12 Patrons
LS on rap pour notre mieux-être
Ils trouvent qu’un groupe de 12 c’est trop
Popo nique mon collectif
Parce qu’ils croient qu’on est des gangbangers
Flics hyperactifs
Negga ça schlingue comme des Pampers
Ces fourbes ils nous empêchent
À tort de réussir
Comme Boob on Garde la Pèche
Et on reste fort comme Louis Cyr
Il y arrivera c’qu’y arrivera
On verra qui vivra qui périra
Believe moi ça ira
Les gars study la guerilla
Passe de petits magouilleurs
À hip-hop révolutionnaires
Avec le .12 en bandoulière
Soon c’est l’son des douilles à terre
Et quand j’te dis que je vais au front
C’est que je me sers de ma tête
Il s’agit que t’embrasse la Mort de front
Et tu survivras peut-être
On m’appelle Web l’Observateur
Celui qui garde les mains mi-propres
Et bientôt viendra cette heure
Où il faudra s’lever d’un bloc
Et tu vois l’vibe en 2007
Comment l’fond d’l’air est devenu sec
C’beaucoup plus large que d’la musique
Plus tu t’prépares pour nous mieux c’est
Everyday

Everyday
Avec Marième
À chaque jour que God fait
Pour nous c’est le same song
On s’allume un hi-tech
Et j’te parle pas de Samsung
Si le rap avait du poil
On m’appellerait Samson
Depuis le temps j’ai pris du poids
Je deviens balaise ça me semble
Si le Hip-Hop avait une âme
On m’appellerait Shang Tsung
Malgré tout je suis bien content
Surtout depuis que je chante souvent
Haute-ville Basse-ville
One love Québec All-ville
Ou bien One hate
Quand ça pop comme Orville
Redenbacher
La haine s’infiltre comme un hacker
Ce n’est pas parce qu’ils sont derrière toi
Qu’ils ont ton back up
Tu roules avec tes boys
Jusqu’à ce que l’un d’eux te vende
Et tu te sens comme Kennedy à Dallas
Un 22 novembre
J’ai 1200 raisons
De ne plus truster personne
Même seul je tiens mon flag
Comme Lester B. Pearson
But still c’est ride or die
LS jusque dans le hearse son
On vit la vie en live
Et il n’y a pas de rehearsal
Tué à l’ouvrage
Maintenant je sue une couleur sang
J’ai tracé mon sillage
Et il ne passait pas par Orsain
Protège tous mes angles
360 comme un oursain
L’essence d’un rap étrange
Un être hybride comme un ours-singe
If you could see what we saw
If you knew what we know
If you could walk where we walked
In the dark Everyday
If you don’t know how it goes
Then listen to what we say
Cuz this song is the song
That we live Everyday
Notre lien avec en-haut
Se fait dans de drôles de circonstances
On évite Babylon
Dès qu’on voit le cirque on s’tasse
Ils nous empêchent d’avancer
Comme Katie Bates dans Misery
Avec une bûche entre les jambes
Et deux coups de masse sur les chevilles
Les gros beats ont tuent trop
Mais pourtant on reste discret
Pour tracer leur contour
Il leur faudra au moins 10 craies
Fait le bodycount
Des corps qu’on a laissés sur l’asphalte
Si la musique avait des fesses
La tienne a sûrement un ass flat
Ils visent le palmarès
À la T.I. et Lil’ Flip
Reste qu’on n’est pas comparable
C’est comme un tuba avec une flûte
Comme le Sida avec une grippe
Ou un foulard avec une tuque
Comme un Jedi avec Sith
Ou Godzilla avec un tigre
Un chinchilla avec un pit
Ou bien des bas avec un slip
Un pain pita avec une frite
Ou l’un de tes bras avec ta …
Est-ce que là où t’habite
Tu vois les mêmes phénomènes
Ici il faut faire ses preuves
L.Land les faits nous mènent
Refrain
À chaque fois qu’on m’entend
Ton boy il dit Amen
Hip-Hop fou commandant
À la Idi Amin
Reste droit devant les tanks
Comme à Tienanmen
Des balls de pétanque
Quand je tire la mine
La nature est la même
Des couilles trempées dans le fer
Crache un rap qui t’écorches
C’est comme ramper dans le four
Man j’te dis c’est so bad
Même les troupes d’élite chient
Entre les doigts on t’écrase
Comme un fruit un litchi
Et la vérité
C’est que même assis on run shit
C’est Limoilou autour de la table
C’est comme si on brunchait
Je me fais du rap un festin
Et en déchire la carcasse
Faire face au Destin
C’est comme dans un car crash
Je me rappelle des bars crasses
Où les gens te regardent croche
Une couple de batailles trash
Où on te refait la tronche
L.Land c’est du Hip-Hop
Un moment clé dans nos vies
Garde l’oreille sur le sol
Pour mater la panoplie
Refrain
La Force de la Multitude
J’exprime ma gratitude
Pour tous ces héros oubliés
Restés vaillamment au front
Tandis que les autres se repliaient
Les fondations de l’éducation
C’est les racines du peuplier
Des jardiniers attentionnés
Que le sablier ne peut plier
Il faut voir grand
Et je ne parle pas de chausser des échasses
Plutôt réussite pour tous
Et puis l’égalité des chances
Le rôle n’est pas facile
Difficultés et exigences
Entre élèves démotivés
Et qualité d’apprentissage
Classes pleines, surcharge
Manque de temps, les profs stressent
Chaque jour suffit sa tâche
À l’avancement du progrès
Il faut contrer l’échec
Élever le taux de diplomation
Parfois l’ouverture est dure
Comme un de ses types de pots maçons
La mission de la profession
Est de cultiver les connaissances
Ce sont les gardiens du Savoir
Qui perpétuent nos renaissances
Des passeurs culturels
Qui ne font qu’honorer l’essence
De nos prédécesseurs anciens
Et ce depuis la nuit des temps
Question éducation
On ne peut le remettre à demain
Comme on dit pour réussir
Il faut se donner les moyens
C’est la force de la multitude
De la stagiaire jusqu’au doyen
Car seul on avance vite
Mais tous ensemble on va plus loin
(2x)
Les matins durs où il faut se lever
C’est jour de garde à la récrée
Le souffle du vent est acéré
Et la petite Léa saigne du nez
Braver les éléments
Pour que chacun des élèves montent
De grade assurément
Le stimulant de l’enseignante
Et puis le sentiment unique
Du devoir accompli
C’est d’avancer patiemment
Et de voir qu’un enfant a compris
C’est le rôle de la lanterne
Éclairant le chemin qu’ils ont prit
Car la route de la réussite
Ne s’achète jamais à bon prix
Il nous faut être reconnaissant
Envers Orthos et T.E.S.
Qui nous encadrent à viser haut
À dépasser le B.E.S.
Et puis les spécialistes
2e période du jour 8
Qui veulent passer la matière
Mais les aiguilles elles courent vite
Plans d’intervention
Et compétences transversales
Le faire sans les ressources
C’est comme un sceau transpercé
Sur ce je lève mon chapeau
À toutes celles qui en ont vu d’autre
Et tout ceux qui ont fait le choix de vie
De changer la nôtre
À chaque jour que God fait
Pour nous c’est le same song
On s’allume un hi-tech
Et j’te parle pas de Samsung
Si le rap avait du poil
On m’appellerait Samson
Depuis le temps j’ai pris du poids
