About This Topic

France and French history appear across a wide range of academic disciplines, from political history and economics to art history and film studies. Students encounter this subject in history, social studies, international relations, and humanities courses, where France serves as a focal point for examining European politics, colonial expansion, cultural production, and economic theory. The breadth of the topic reflects France's long historical influence—its conflicts with Britain and its role in shaping North American history through events like the French and Indian War make it a recurring subject in courses covering early modern and colonial history, while French art movements and cinema invite analysis in arts and media programs.

The archived papers approach this subject from several distinct angles. Historical and political analysis dominates, with essays examining the French and Indian War, British legislation between 1764 and 1774, and the motivations of colonial powers and Amerindian peoples caught between competing empires. Cultural and artistic perspectives also feature prominently, including work on the French New Wave's influence on modern film directors and analysis of figures like Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in connection with La Revue blanche. Some papers engage economic frameworks, such as the Fama-French model in contrast to the Markowitz Portfolio theory.

A strong essay on a French-related topic begins with a tightly scoped thesis that connects a specific event, movement, or figure to a broader historical or cultural argument. Evidence drawn from primary sources, policy documents, or close analysis of artistic works tends to carry the most weight. A common pitfall is treating "French" as a geographic backdrop rather than an active force—strong papers consistently examine how French institutions, individuals, or conflicts directly shaped outcomes in politics, culture, or economics.

Wars of Principles the Falklands and Malvinas

Although the age of imperialism has slowly, but inexorably, been consigned to history books, with the great British, Spanish and Portuguese empires that once dominated the globe now largely defunct after the revolutionary spirit swept through colonies from America to Argentina, vestiges of this age-old system still remain to this day. Despite withdrawing from the vast majority of its former colonies after successful campaigns for independence were waged, the United Kingdom has strived to maintain a semblance of its former power by maintaining control over small areas of land within the nations it previously ruled over. Hong Kong in China, Gibraltar in the Iberian Peninsula, and a half dozen Caribbean islands from Bermuda to Turks and Caicos, the custom of leaving behind British territories in the wake of widespread independence movements was instituted to ensure that the United Kingdom's dogged pursuit of its centuries-old imperialistic ambitions was not undertaken in vain. In the case of British engagement with Argentina, which began, like so many similar conflicts between European nations and the natives of the newly discovered American continent1, with the United Kingdom's claim of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands in 1833, a series of geopolitical maneuvers and cultural upheavals resulted in the outbreak of open warfare in 1982.

Code Switching and Language Change Arabic English Bilingualism in Australia

The following are descriptions of the 2 article reviews contained in the file. Sayahi (2011) conducts an interesting and detailed study in on code-switching in Tunisia. Analyzing the data form interviews with 12 Tunisians, Sayahi discovers that code-switching is limited to nouns and noun-phrases, that Tunisians who are university-educated are more likely to code-switch, and that it is unlikely that the French language threatens the maintenance of Arabic as a dominant language in Tunisia. Cruickshank (2008) offers a historical and contemporary look into Arabic-English bilingualism in New South Wales, Australia, offering insightful recommendations for ways government-supported Arabic instruction can improve after the Arabic language experienced a gradual slide into insignificance following events of the past decade.
