Amitié et générosité dans "L’Astrée" d’Honoré d’Urfé et "Francion" de Charles Sorel

Au XVIIe siècle, l’amitié forme, avant toute chose, un lien social et politique qui se voit réinvesti, au sortir des Guerres de religion, dans une recomposition de la morale quotidienne. Mais cette image harmonieuse de l’amitié est aussi une production fantasmatique du social qui a aussi ses implications tyranniques et ses dangers politiques. L’article examine les différentes manifestations de l’amitié dans "L’Astrée" d’Honoré d’Urfé et dans le "Francion" de Charles Sorel.

Charles Darwin goes to school: the role of cartoons and narrative in setting science in an historical context

Science education is under revision. Recent changes in society require changes in education to respond to new demands. Scientific literacy can be considered a new goal of science education and the epistemological gap between natural sciences and literacy disciplines must be overcome. The history of science is a possible bridge to link these `two cultures` and to foster an interdisciplinary approach in the classroom. This paper acknowledges Darwin`s legacy and proposes the use of cartoons and narrative expositions to put this interesting chapter of science into its historical context. A five-lesson didactic sequence was developed to tell part of the story of Darwin`s expedition through South America for students from 10 to 12 years of age. Beyond geological and biological perspectives, the inclusion of historical, social and geographical facts demonstrated the beauty and complexity of the findings that Darwin employed to propose the theory of evolution.

Charles Wilkes, a US Exploring Expedition and the US` search for its place in the world (1838-1842)

The main focus of this essay is the first American round-the-world scientific voyage, the U. S Exploring Expedition, which took place between 1838 and 1841 and was lead by Lieutenant Charles Wilkes. Here, I discuss the purposes of this expedition in the context of the voyages of circumnavigation accomplished by the various European powers during the same period.
