Here's a spotlight on one of the historical translation projects I've worked on with students (we also later brought David Rosenberg's exhibit to campus -- and the exhibit included their translations): www.gcc.edu/Home/News-Ar...

Hope it shows up! I'd only recently realized that the "livres et documents" rate is gone for shipping (hélas!!!), and now I'm having to re-think my normal requirement for students to get physical (v. ebook) copies of novels we study, since many of them were formerly acquired used from abroad.

I enjoy working at GCC in the Modern Languages Department, and I am happy to answer questions about the college.

[Caveat: I don't have experience with gluten-free baking, so I can't comment on how this works for substitutions.] Buckwheat is gluten-free. It is standard in savory crepes (galettes) in France.

opps, I can't spell. Palimpsest with an i!

Yes! It is a very "palempsestic" site layering internment over time.

Congratulations! I'm really interested in this. I'm planning a brief visit to Rivesaltes for my own potential book project research in spring 2026 (but I'm focusing on the interaction between literature and physical monumental forms, with Rivesaltes only a small part of the overall project).

Thanks for sharing! I just passed the link on to the students in my France contemporaine class. We've certainly had plenty of interesting things to discuss this semester...

Tristesse!

This may be interesting since the writer is discussing teaching business majors. However, I'm not sure how well it would go over with students themselves since it talks about them rather than to them, and it may be more classics-oriented than what you are looking for. www.plough.com/en/topics/co...

Jacobs' book does include (at least in later chapters, I'm not sure about the intro) some references to more recent-ish (late 20th-C) works, but, yes, the emphasis is on learning from voices from other times (and places) who give us critical distance to better understand our own time.

FYI for other profs interested in the documentary: it isn't available streaming anywhere at the moment (was formerly on Netflix). It is only available as a DVD from France (i.e. region 2 DVD, so a multiregion DVD player is required in the US) with audio in French and no subtitles.

I've used some quotes from Alan Jacob's Breaking Bread with the Dead for the opening day of my general education lit class. Perhaps the intro or other chapter could work? There's also a recent edited collection called The Liberating Arts that could have some good options.
