Gendarmerie : comment les femmes ont-elles gagné leurs galons ?

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

Il y a 40 ans, deux décrets autorisaient les femmes à passer les concours pour devenir sous-officières ou officières de gendarmerie.

Cet anniversaire est d’autant plus important pour cette institution militaire que pendant longtemps « les termes de « gendarme » et de « femme » ont été antithétiques ». Dès lors, comment ont-elles gagné leurs galons ?

White power movements in US history have often relied on veterans – and not on lone wolves

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

For decades, the white power movement has gained steady momentum in the U.S. Kathleen Belew is an expert on the history of the white power movement and its current impact on American society and politics. Her book “Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America” examines how the aftermath of the Vietnam War led to the birth of the white power movement.

In March 2023, Belew spoke at the Imagine Solutions Conference in Naples, Florida, about how the narrative of the “lone wolf” actor distracts from the broader threat of the white power movement in America. The Conversation asked Belew about her work. Her edited answers are below.

In 1971, the art critic Linda Nochlin transformed the art history debate by asking: “Why have there been no great women artists?”, a question with profound implications for rethinking the gendered operations of criticism, curation, history and the art market, which conspired to define “greatness”.
