Paroles et silences. L'affaire Schwartzbard et la presse juive parisienne (1926-1927)

The murder of the ukranian ataman Petlioura by Samuel Schwartzbard on May 25th 1926 and his trial which ended with the acquittal of the murderer on October 26th 1927, should have resulted in the coming together of the various trends of the jewish society in France, « french israelites » and immigrants. It did not occur, each group considering the defendant according to its own stand-point : to some he figured a french patriot voluntarily enlisted in the First World War who had killed an ally of the Germans, to others he figured the revolutionnary Jew, having taken revenge of the sufferings of his people. Sayings and silences of the jewish newspapers, yiddish or french, underline the mutual lack of understanding between the two communities.

Economic assessment of the secondary prevention of ischaemic events with lysine acetylsalicylate.

To analyse the economic benefits, in comparison with placebo, of the secondary prevention of ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) with lysine acetylsalicylate (Kardégic) in patients with a history of ischaemic stroke, MI or stable and unstable angina pectoris. This was a modelling study from the perspectives of direct medical costs, the social security system and society in France. Efficacy data for the secondary prevention of ischaemic events were derived from the Antiplatelet Trialists' Collaboration meta-analysis on antithrombotics. The rates and costs of ischaemic disease and of serious gastrointestinal adverse affects arising from long term aspirin treatment, as well as the costs of treatment with lysine acetylsalicylate, were taken from published sources, using French data where possible. From the social security perspective, the estimated cost-effectiveness ratios show that the prevention of MI in patients with a history of unstable angina (with a 1-year follow-up) is a cost-saving strategy, with net benefits ranging from $US5703 (1996 prices) per avoided MI for lysine acetylsalicylate 300 mg/day to $US5761 per avoided MI for lysine acetylsalicylate 75 mg/day. The prevention of MI and stroke is also a cost-saving strategy in patients with prior MI [net benefits in a 2-year follow-up (5% discount rate) ranging from $US15 to $US494 per avoided MI and from $US37 to $US1170 per avoided stroke]. This was also true in patients with prior ischaemic stroke (net benefits in a 3-year follow-up ranging from $US610 to $US2082 per avoided MI and from $US176 to $US599 per avoided stroke). Finally, a 4-year follow-up in patients with a history of stable angina pectoris shows that prophylactic treatment with lysine acetylsalicylate is associated with net costs per avoided MI, ranging from $US4375 to $US3608 per avoided event. Sensitivity analysis confirmed that prophylaxis with lysine acetylsalicylate in patients at high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events results in savings in social security expenditure. Our results underline the high economic benefit of using lysine acetylsalicylate to prevent secondary ischaemic stroke and MI in patients at high risk of cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular events, leading to savings for the social security system and society.

Venality: The Sale of Offices in Eighteenth-Century France

In ancien regime France almost all posts of public responsibility had to be bought or inherited. Rather than tax their richer subjects directly, French kings preferred to sell them privileged public offices, which further payments allowed them to sell or bequeath at will. By the eighteenth century there were 70,000 venal offices, comprising the entire judiciary, most of the legal profession, officers in the army, and a wide range of other professions - from financiers handling the king's revenues down to auctioneers and even wigmakers. Though now yielding diminishing returns to the king, offices were more in demand than ever for the privileges and prestige, profit and power, that they conferred; and although it was widely accepted that selling public authority was undesirable, nobody imagined that those who had invested in offices could ever be bought out. The Revolution brought an unexpected opportunity to do so, but the legacy of venality has marked French institutions down to our day. William Doyle, one of the foremost historians of early modern Europe, has written the first comprehensive history of the last century of venality. He traces the evolution and dissolution of a system which was fundamental to the workings of state and society in France for over three centuries.

Le “G.I.R.C.O.R.”, Groupe Interprofessionnel de Réflexion et de Communication sur la Recherche

Biological research information and communication society in France : activities and future prospects of action. Knowledge about comprehension of biological research necessities requires real means of communication, especially when laboratory animal experimentation is needed in the purpose of a better human and animal health. With this object, have been created a french association whose members are representatives of public research centers and private laboratories. Several actions were undertaken for a general public information such as book and booklets, meetings, visits of laboratories, motions about ethical principles with regard to laboratory animals welfare and so on. A governing board gives orientations of action, with the guarantee of an honourable committee.

Forest Rites: The War of the Demoiselles in Nineteenth-Century France

In May 1829, strange reports surfaced from the Ariege department in the French Pyrenees, describing male peasants, bizarrely dressed in women's clothes, gathering in the forests at night to chase away state guards and charcoalmakers. This was the raucous War of the Demoiselles, a protest against the national French Forest Code of 1827, which restricted peasants' rights to use state and private forests. Peter Sahlins unravels the fascinating story of this celebrated popular uprising, and in his telling captures the cultural, historical and political currents that swept the countryside during France's July 1830 Revolution. Sahlins explains how and why the Ariege peasants drew on the practices and rituals of folk culture, as well as on a revolutionary tradition, to defend their inherited rights to the forest. To explore these rights and their expression, he delves into the history of forest management, of peasant conflicts with the state, and of popular culture - particularly the disputed history of Carnival and of local rituals of justice. Sahlins also sheds new light on the French revolutionary tradition and the Three Glorious Days of July 1830. The drama and symbolism of the War of the Demoiselles have inspired nearly a dozen plays, novels, films and even a comic book. Using the concepts of anthropology and cultural studies as transport, Sahlins moves from this rich event to the wider worlds of peasant society in France. Focusing on the years from 1829 to 1832 but drawing on sources since the 16th century, his book should captivate social, cultural and political historians of both early modern and modern Europe.

L'américanisme français à la veille de la fondation de la Société des Américanistes

French americanism before the foundation of the Société des Américanistes. We cannot correctly explain the process which led to the foundation of the Société des Américanistes without taking into account the whole previous history of this domain. This article presents the major institutions which contributed to develop research on Amerindian societies in France, the motives which were behind this anthropological activity, along with the first attempts to form a circle of « specialists ». This study shows that the Société des Américanistes benefited from the experience of the scholarly tradition while its scientific project established new bases for research.
