THE THREE FINALISTS IN COMPETITION<\/b><\/p>\n
Jules Ferry et l’enfant sauvage<\/i>, Mara GOYET, FLAMMARION (August 27, 2014)<\/b><\/p>\n
The coll\u00e8ge unique is a symbol of hope, of an educational utopia, but also of disaster. It’s tempting to give it up. That would be unacceptable. It would mean abandoning a democratic promise: are we proposing to re-establish censal suffrage when we don’t like the results of elections? This book lays the groundwork for the necessary reconciliation of a demanding and elegant transmission of culture, with a concern for efficiency and attention to students as they are. Mara Goyet proposes a new age of teaching and paints a portrait of the teacher of tomorrow, halfway between Roland Barthes and Lara Croft. <\/p>\n
Mara Goyet<\/i><\/b> is a history and geography teacher in a Parisian secondary school. She has previously published with Flammarion, in the “Caf\u00e9 Voltaire” collection, <\/i>Tombeau pour le coll\u00e8ge (2008) and <\/i>Coll\u00e8ge brutal (2012). His “alchimie du coll\u00e8ge” blog on leMonde.fr is followed by 20,000 readers.<\/i><\/p>\n
La France p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique,<\/i> Comment on a sacrifi\u00e9 les classes populaires<\/i>, Christophe Guilluy FLAMMARION (September 17, 2014)<\/b><\/p>\n
Today’s France lives with notions and dogmas from the past, which no longer correspond to any reality. The “middle classes”, inherited from the Trente glorieuses, have disappeared to make way for the new working classes, excluded from the benefits of globalization. The bipolarization of French political life is living its last moments: both left and right must urgently reprogram their software. <\/p>\n
The longer the economic and social crisis lasts, the higher the profile of <\/i>Christophe Guilluy<\/i><\/b> is growing. Nicolas Sarkozy had made <\/i>Fractures fran\u00e7aises (“Champs”, 2013) his bedside book during the 2012 presidential campaign. This geographer, who set out in search of a working-class France, now regularly visits Manuel Valls and Fran\u00e7ois Hollande. He works as a consultant for social landlords, local authorities, consultancies and associations of local councillors. <\/i><\/p>\n
Une question de taille, <\/i>Olivier Rey, Stock, October 8, 2014<\/b><\/p>\n
Today, we measure everything from stock market trading volumes to cholesterol levels, from the density of fine particles in the air to household morale. But the more our societies indulge in this frenzy of measurement, the less likely they are to respect measurement, in the sense of fair measurement. This book sets out to describe and understand the ways in which, over the last few centuries, we have lost the ability to measure. Whether it’s a question of our relationship with nature, politics or ethics, it’s imperative to take this into account if we want to lead a genuinely human life, and avoid everything being destroyed. <\/p>\n
Olivier Rey <\/b>is a CNRS researcher, mathematician and philosopher. He taught mathematics at the \u00c9cole Polytechnique, and now teaches philosophy at the Universit\u00e9 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne. He is the author of several essays: Itin\u00e9raire de l’\u00e9garement. The role of science in contemporary absurdity <\/i>(Le Seuil, 2003), Une folle solitude.<\/i> Le fantasme de l’homme auto-construit <\/i>(Le Seuil, 2006) and Le Testament de Melville <\/i>(Gallimard, 2011). He has also published two novels, Le bleu du sang <\/i>(Flammarion, 1994) and Apr\u00e8s la chute <\/i>(PGDR, 2014). <\/p>\n
