L1 Bloc 2 Social and ethnic identities and conflicts
You will have noticed that one of the questions in your homework is:
If you had to choose two historical events for Scotland, and two historical events for Wales, which had very strongly marked their national identities, which events would you choose, and why ?
Il y a pas mal d'évènements que vous pourriez choisir (il n' y a pas seulment 4 bonnes réponses possibles). L'essentiel est comment vous expliquez leur importance.

Opinion is Scotland is changing. A few years ago not many Scottish people actually wanted independece, although most of them supported autonomy.
Today support for independence is running at its highest level for a long time. IT is still a minority, but a very substantial one - over 30% according to some opinion polls. Opinion polls are difficult to interpret, but this is interesting news.

Next week, I will give you your homework, and I will post it here. It will be based on the "brochure de documents" which is on Eprel.
On the 3rd January, you will have the final test. Anyone who is absent for any reason may take the retake in June. The retake is also available, of course, to students who do not get a pass mark in the first session.
One student is in régime dérogatoire. Their test will be at the same time as everybody else's, but it will not be the same test - it will cover the whole period studied.

Rendezvous Enseignant référent
Chaque étudiant de première année a un enseignant référent. L'enseignant rencontre l'étudiant après quelques semaines de sa première année pour faire le point sur ses études. C'est le moment d'en parler si vous pensez vous réorienter, et aussi de faire part de toute question ou difficulté. Je voudrais donc prendre rendezvous avec les étudiants suivants, dans mon bureau (208) aux horaires suivants. J'ai demandé à votre enseignante Mme Head de vous permettre de sortir, si votre rendezvous tombe pendant son cours le jeudi après midi.

L2 Thème Classroom test November
Below are the suggested answers. The next big test, which will have the same structure, will be on Tuesday 3rd January. If you are absent on the 3rd January, even for a very good reason like illness, you will take the retake exam in June.
Suggested answers, classroom test L2, November 2011
Section A
1 Régine looked at me in silent disapproval.
2 I thanked him for his thoughtfulness but pointed out that I had no money.
3 He had no children. Noone knew of any family.
4 The conversation they had had on this subject, two weeks earlier, had been the first one they had had since they started working shifts.
Section B
Les emplois temporels du prétérit (« I went to York when I was in England » (et les emplois non temporels (« If only I could fly. » or « If I bought a car… ») ont en commun le fait de souligner le décrochage de l’évènement par rapport au moment présent. Pour les emplois temporels, nous parlons d’une période révolue ; pour les emplois non-temporels, nous parlons d’évènements non-réalisés.
Section C (NB il faut traduire au prétérit)
Willy Berg, more dead than alive, phoned the Saussaies ; his report filled them with panic. Pannwitz immediately set in motion a gigantic police operation. The area around Saint Lazare station was blocked off ; dozens of passers-by were arrested ; the Bailly Building was gone over with a fine toothcomb. But there was no sign of Trepper. At the end of the afternoon, Pannwitz closed down the security set-up, which was no longer of any use. And that’s when the big boss walked into Saint Lazare station from the Rue d’Amsterdam and jumped into a train heading for Saint-Germain-En Laye.
He had realized that the Gestapo would be swarming into the area. Coming out of the chemist’s, he had run into a metro entrance, jumped onto the first train that arrived and stayed hidden there until it got to the terminus. From there, he came back gradually towards the centre of Paris ; at the end, a bus dropped him off at Saint Lazare station. He didn’t know if Georgie still lived in their house. She might have been short of money to pay the rent. The lease was soon to run out, if it hadn’t already done so.
Katz ! He must know about his boss’s escape plan ; He probably even knows where he is hiding.

Click on the title above to watch a ten minute extract from "Kes", a successful film by Ken Loach. It is about a working class boy in the 1960s, and his experience in the rough school he went to.
The 1960s was a period of a general rise in living standards for the working class, but not everyone benefited, and there were still many pockets of severe poverty.

2) Those groups who do not have a TD group will have some exercises to do at home. These exercises will be online here later today.

La rentrée c'est pour bientôt
A l'Université de Paris-Est Créteil, nous préparons la réntrée. Au premier semestre, j'enseigne les matières suivantes :
Première année
Le mardi Cours d'histoire britannique (Bloc 3) "From the Reformation to the Great Exhibition" (1500-1851 donc)
Le jeudi matin : Cours de Bloc 2 en anglais, ouvert à l'ensemble des étudiants de la Faculté des Lettres et de Sciences Humaines, mais enseigné et évalué en anglais : Social and Ethnic Identies and Conflicts in Britain since 1918.
Voici l'explication :
Who are the British, and how do they see themselves? This course aims to clarify the reality behind the image of British society, which is often presented as terribly divided by class, and the home of a rather strange “multiculturalism”. During the classes we will look at the history of conflicts at work, in particular the general strike of 1926, the wave of strikes in the 1970s, and the conflict between Margaret Thatcher and the miners’ union. We will look at the history of the main groups of immigrants (Jewish, Irish, Caribbean, South Asian and east European). We will look at their lives in Britain, questions of racism and of maintaining cultural identity (music, food etc). We will also examine the story of Irish, Welsh and Scottish nationalism, and the resulting reforms over the last fifteen years. Finally we will look at other social identities – homosexual identity and youth identity in particular--‐ to see how they have marked British life in the last hundred years.
We will be looking at directly political events (strikes, riots, or campaigns) but also at other forms of the expression of identity (religious practices, clothes, music, food, leisure and so on).
A booklet of documents will be available at the beginning of the semester

I have marked all of the final exams, and half of the homework assignments. So I am practically certain that I will be able to put your whole-semester marks up here tomorrow at the latest.
When you've got your marks some of you will be freed,and others will have a little more work to do for the resits in June.
Those students who do a master in the department will see me again next year. I will be teaching in the Master pro rédaction/traduction and the master enseignement. *Maybe* also in the master recherche.

Nous avons perdu un collègue.
Extrait de l'Hebdo de l'UPEC :
M. Nigel Turner, maître de conférences au département d'anglais et ancien vice-doyen de l'UFR de Lettres, nous a quittés.
L'annonce du décès de Nigel Turner le samedi 7 mai à l'hôpital Saint-Louis des suites d'une longue maladie a suscité dans toute la Faculté des Lettres une vive émotion. Arrivé à Paris 12 comme lecteur en 1977, Nigel Turner y a mené toute sa carrière. Il a occupé différents postes au sein de l’UFR de Lettres, Langues et Sciences humaines : assistant associé, ATER, et PRAG aux départements de Langues étrangères appliquées et d’anglais, il était depuis 1993 Maître de conférences en linguistique anglaise, après une thèse de doctorat portant sur une étude contrastive de l’infinitif en anglais et en français. Par ailleurs, il était traducteur et co-auteur de deux dictionnaires bilingues anglais-français.
Pendant toutes ces années, ses activités d’enseignant se sont déroulées à tous les niveaux des cursus d’anglais, et des générations d’étudiants ont bénéficié de l’efficacité et de l’engagement de ce collègue dont la compétence, la gentillesse, la disponibilité pour ses étudiants, mais aussi l’humour très britannique dont il faisait preuve sont pour eux inoubliables. Alors que la maladie avait déjà frappé, il avait tenu à assurer ses enseignements de préparation aux concours du CAPES et de l’Agrégation avant que débute son congé. Les responsabilités collectives assumées par Nigel Turner au service de l’université ont permis à de très nombreux collègues de l’UPEC d’apprécier ce collègue au plan professionnel tout autant qu’au plan humain : directeur du département d’anglais de 2003 à 2005, vice doyen de la Faculté de Lettres, langues et Sciences humaines en charge de la pédagogie de 2005 à 2010, il a pendant de nombreuses années participé aux réunions du Conseil des Etudes et de la Vie Universitaire de l’UPEC, ainsi qu’aux travaux préparatoires à ces réunions, d’abord comme vice-doyen de sa Faculté, puis, depuis 2008 comme membre élu de ce Conseil.
Tous ceux qui ont côtoyé Nigel Turner et eu le privilège de travailler avec lui savent qu’ils ont perdu un collègue au dévouement et à l’engagement exemplaires. Pour beaucoup d’entre eux, c’était aussi un ami. Nous pensons à sa famille, à ses proches et à ses amis endeuillés.
Les obsèques de Nigel Turner auront lieu vendredi 20 mai au crématorium du Père Lachaise. A 10h20 une cérémonie d'hommage et d'adieu se tiendra dans la salle de la Coupole. Les cendres seront dispersées à 14h30 au Jardin du Souvenir.
La Faculté enverra des fleurs, mais vous pouvez aussi manifester votre affection à Nigel en faisant un don à l'EMSSI (Association pour l'Étude des Maladies du Sang et du Système Immunitaire). Ce don pourra être déposé au cours de la cérémonie ou envoyé (par chèque à l'ordre de l'EMSSI) à l'adresse suivante :

M1 Enseignement : Death by paraphrase
M1 épreuve finale : Death by paraphrase.
The main difficulty students had was wasting time paraphrasing. Again, remember one of the main aims is to *show* you have a good working knowledge of British history, in particular recent British history. This document gave you the opportunity to show your knowledge of the following subjects :
• The Freedom of Information Act (one of a series of important constitutional reforms carried out by Tony Blair’s governments).
• The economic and social crisis of the 1970s (the rise in unemployment, destruction of industry, the fall of the Heath government after serious conflicts with trade unions).
• The present economic crisis of 2011 and its handling by the new coalition government.
• The history of the domination of Scotland by England
• The history of Irish terrorist organizations and Welsh terrorist organizations
• The central role in foreign policy of the alliance with the United States
• The history of Scottish nationalism, in the 1970s, and today.
• The prospects for the new Scottish government elected in May 2011.
In each case, two to four *precise* and *informed* sentences explaining the reference in the text or linking to events mentioned in the text would be the ideal.
I have listed eight topics above. Quite naturally, if you only spoke about five of them that would be quite acceptable. Several students only mentioned one or two. Ifthis is because you knew nothing about the others, then reading newspapers and general histories of Britain is going to be essential this Summer. If you knew about them but didn’t fit them in, this will be because of dangerous paraphrasing.

L2S4 Thème marks
L2S4 Thème
Here are the marks for your final test.
To calculate your general mark for the semester for this module, you will have to look up the weightings in the admin booklet (don’t email me about this).
If the mark is not up to scratch then of course there are the resits in June (don't ask me the dates, they will be on the university website and I am too busy to answer that kind of question). To be sure to succeed in these, you need to look over all the translations we have done this year to make sure you understand the reasons for the grammatical structures we chose. And you need to read two or three grammar books from cover to cover. Don’t just cross your fingers instead!
In any case, even if your mark is fine, don't ignore your grammar book over the Summer, and be sure to read a lot in English. As I explained to you, the level of grammar is not sufficient in the group.
I will be in my office (208) on wednesday 8th June from 10 to 12 and from 2 till 4 in the afternoon, and that is the time you can come and look at your exam scripts. I recommend you do if you are taking the resits. If I have a moment I will continue putting useful resources up on this blog.

Option transversale "150 ans de musique populaire britannique - les notes
Voici les notes sur 20 pour l’option transversale « 150 ans de musique populaire britannique », en mai 2011, dans l’ensemble très satisfaisantes.

L3 devoir maison
As you can imagine, I would rather read quality assignments than assignments which have been written too quickly and are full of silliness. So you can have some more time for the assignment based on the documents connected to the Four Nations.
I will accept them until midday, Tuesday 17th May.
Students may hand their assignment in the previous Friday when there is the final exam if they wish; otherwise by midday Tuesday 17 May in my pigeonhole on the first floor (be careful, the teachers' room has moved further down the corridor).
Do not send your work by email; do not tell me on the 18th that your printer is broken. Thank you, and good luck.

I had said that I wanted you to give me your assignments one month after I gave them to you - that is the 8th May. Today, some nice students asked if they could have more time. Yes, everyone can have *a little* more time. I will put up in a couple of days on this blog the new deadline (I have to check out with the administration, so that I have time to mark the assignements before their deadline for the giving in of the marks).
So this weekend I will give you a new deadline, a bit later than the previous one.

L3 Civilisation britannique - Britain since 1945
I hope you have a good Spring Break.
After the break, there will be two more classes - on the 29th April and the 6th of May. Most likely I will cover "Immigration, racism and antiracism since 1945" and "Debates and issues in Britain in 2011"
On May 13th there is the "épreuve finale de contrôle continu".
The total mark for the module will therefore be made up of three marks
1) The classroom test you took two weeks ago.
2) The research assignment I gave you yesterday, which must be handed in one month from now.
3) The final exam on the 13th May.
Concerning the research assignment, I will post here the instructions for the two or three students who were absent Friday. If you know who they are, let them know, because it will be very hard for them if they are going to start the work only after the break.
I will put online here some links to help you with the research assignment, but the library is the most important source of help.
Concerning the Classroom test, I will put up here your marks as soon as I have got through with the marking. I apologize for the delay.

The four Irish Home Rule bills introduced in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were intended to grant self-government and national autonomy to the whole of Ireland within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and reverse parts of the Acts of Union 1800. Of the two that passed the Parliament of the United Kingdom the Third Bill, enacted as the Government of Ireland Act 1914 and then suspended, while the Fourth Bill, enacted as the Government of Ireland Act 1920 established two separate Home Rule territories in Ireland, of which the one was implemented by the Parliament of Northern Ireland, but the second Parliament of Southern Ireland was not implemented in the rest of Ireland. The bills were:
1886: First Irish Home Rule Bill defeated in the House of Commons and never introduced in the House of Lords.
1893: Second Irish Home Rule Bill passed the House of Commons, but defeated in the House of Lords.
1914: Third Irish Home Rule Act passed with Royal Assent never came into force, due to the intervention of World War I (1914–18) and of the Easter Rising in Dublin (1916).
1920: Fourth Irish Home Rule Act (replaced Third Act, passed and implemented as the Government of Ireland Act 1920) which established Northern Ireland as a Home Rule entity within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and simultaneously resulted in the partition of Ireland.

Britain since 1945 - Clause four
Several times in the history of the Labour Party in the twentieth century, the deate about "Clause Four of the Labour Party Constitution" will be important. Here is the clause in question. It was added to the Labour Party constitution in 1918.
"To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."
"To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."
Britain since 1945 - Harold Wilson
What wikipedia says about the man is not bad :
Harold Wilson first served as Prime Minister in the 1960s, during a period of low unemployment and relative economic prosperity (though also of significant problems with the UK's external balance of payments). His second term in office began in 1974, when a period of economic crisis was beginning to hit most Western countries. On both occasions, economic concerns were to prove a significant constraint on his governments' ambitions. Wilson's own approach to socialism placed emphasis on efforts to increase opportunity within society, for example through change and expansion within the education system, allied to the technocratic aim of taking better advantage of rapid scientific progress, rather than on the left's traditional goal of promoting wider public ownership of industry. While he did not challenge the Party constitution's stated dedication to nationalisation head-on, he took little action to pursue it.
Though generally not at the top of Wilson's personal areas of priority, his first period in office was notable for substantial legal changes in a number of social areas, including the liberalisation of censorship, divorce, homosexuality, immigration and abortion (see Social issues, below), as well as the abolition of capital punishment, due in part to the initiatives of backbench MPs who had the support of Roy Jenkins during his time as Home Secretary.
Overall, Wilson is seen to have managed a number of difficult political issues with considerable tactical skill, including such potentially divisive issues for his party as the role of public ownership, British membership of the European Community, and the Vietnam War. Nonetheless, his stated ambition of substantially improving Britain's long-term economic performance remained largely unfulfilled.

If you don't correct them, someone else will eventually. Or someone who thinks the subject is not important enough to go on wikipedia will propose it be deleted...

Les défauts les plus courants et graves des devoirs étaient
1) ne pas mettre suffisamment au centre de l'analyse les objectifs des auteurs des documents.
2) ne pas montrer une large connaissance de l'histoire récente du Royaume Uni.
Bon courage pour la suite et à bientôt.
