Gothic getaways: the rise and evolution of ‘dark tourism’ festivals

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

That Halloween is a commercial event is a platitude akin to saying that the sky is blue, or that chocolates are widely eaten on Valentines Day. Mention October 31st and the mind instantly fills with images of trick-or-treating and the inevitable paraphernalia of pumpkins, polyester cobwebs, and witch hats. Despite its superficiality today, the origins of Halloween can be traced back to the Celts and their Samhain celebrations, which marked the end of the autumn harvest and the beginning of winter. It was also a day when, according to Celtic beliefs, the veil between the living and the dead is particularly permeable.

GOP’s House paralysis is a crisis in a time of crises

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

This includes the situation in Israel and Palestine, a regular feature of student debate in the US, UK and across Europe for decades.

Manager, est-ce commander (et inversement) ?

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

Institution multiséculaire, la Gendarmerie nationale n’est pas avare de regards rétrospectifs, de respect de traditions ou de valorisation d’évènements historiques. C’est frappant avec, par exemple, les noms de baptême des promotions des élèves de l’École des officiers de la Gendarmerie nationale (EOGN) : après le combat de Pontlieue (1871) l’an passé, c’est le connétable du Guesclin (1370) qui est mis à l’honneur cette année.
