Il était une fois à Ouahigouya (2024)

Cover Ouahigouya

In "Il était une fois à Ouahigouya", Patricia Bourcillier invites us to share the remarkable experience she and her husband, Bernd Sebastian Kamps, had during a three-month stay in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) in 1977.

Her account takes us to Ouahigouya in the northwest of "Mossi country", where, thanks to an unconventional fellowship, the couple was immersed in the daily life of a rural society where poverty was met with generosity and sharing.

Their friendship with Moussa and their conversations with him and his peers are moments of reflection on political anger, struggle, and hope on the eve of a revolution. This book is an invitation to dialogue, to openness to others, and to the journeys that shape our understanding of the world.

La Mémoire oubliée des Todesco (2019)

L'histoire des Todesco débute en Germanie à l'époque carolingienne. Durant les croisades, des groupes de Teutons décident de se faire chrétiens et d'émigrer en Italie du Nord, tandis que d'autres comme le rabbin Dan Ashkenazi et son groupe choisissent de gagner l'Espagne. Mais au XIVe siècle les persécutions vont pousser les descendants de la petite communauté ashkénaze à s'enfuir vers les pays roumains, avant que de les faire échouer un siècle plus tard en Italie. Pour seul souvenir, ils conservent leur nom ethnique.

Vita di Alessandro T. (2019)

Il 15 dicembre 2017 entrai in un tunnel di due mesi. Non ricordo i parenti e gli amici – cinque, dieci, in alcuni giorni anche quindici – che venivano a trovarmi in ospedale tutti i giorni (scusatemi!). Non ricordo la sera di Natale quando vennero a salutarmi prima di festeggiare con le loro famiglie. E non ricordo né i passaggi all'ospedale – pronto soccorso, sala operatoria, terapia intensiva – né tutti quelli che mi hanno probabilmente salvato la vita. Un grazie di cuore a tutti voi!

Sardo per Sardi (2019)

Avete notato che da alcuni decenni la lingua sarda è in declino? Proiettando questa tendenza nel futuro, prevediamo che prima ancora della fine del secolo il sardo sarà l'orso bianco del Mediterraneo – estinto, pianto, e infine dimenticato.

Here we present a method of double exposure to a new language through intense listening plus reading.

Une femme en route vers l'islam

Voyager avec Isabelle Eberhardt c'est en tout temps être prêt à se mettre en route ; c'est rêver de partir « sans plan fixe », armé « du bâton et de la besace symboliques » avec l'idée du nomadisme, du cheminement, comme passage de la pensée elle-même.

Androgynie et Anorexie (2007)

Qu'on évoque le mythe de Platon ou encore les doctrines des gnoses chrétiennes, l'androgynie est présentée comme l'état initial, l'Age d'or à reconquérir. Dans cet essai, on trouve de tout: des écrivain(e)s, des figures de la mythologie grecque, des castrats et bien d'autres êtres hors du commun.

Free Medical Information (2005)

Today, doctors can be publishers – computer technology and the internet make it possible, and book projects are tempting in terms of money. More important than this, however, is the fact that a doctor who writes and publishes wants his texts to be read by as many colleagues, students and patients as possible.

CAVE: This manual was written in a world without social media. The advice given in Free Medical Information may be out of date.

Le mot "exil" évoque le plus souvent des images de misère, de guerre, de persécutions politiques ou religieuses, rarement l'émigration volontaire, nourrie d'un amour de l'ailleurs, d'un besoin d'ouverture sur l'inconnu, d'affrontement avec l'étrangeté.
