DOWNLOAD EBOOKTraveling in a First-Class Cabin on the luxury liner France early in 1963, the Western world's most famous painting sailed across the Atlantic on its maiden voyage to the United States. The goodwill generated by the loan eased U.S.-French relations, which had soured over tensions stemming from the cold war. The mastermind behind the Mona Lisa's triumphant tour was France's newly appointed minister of cultural affairs, Andre Malraux. In this book, Herman Lebovics recounts how Malraux's brilliant foray into the realm of diplomacy was but one example of his efforts to employ France's cultural heritage in the service of a renewed national grandeur.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrench intellectuals have always defined themselves in political terms, typically as opponents to a corrupt government—but challenging state authority is not the only way intellectuals in France have exerted political influence. Jeremy Aherne invokes a neglected dimension of French intellectuals’ practice, where instead of denouncing the worlds of government and public policy, French intellectuals become voluntarily entangled within them The book consists of a series of case studies exploring policy domains from religion and secularization to educational reform and the media. It explores the political engagement of intellectuals such as Pierre Bourdieu, Michel de Certeau, and André Malraux, and will be required reading for scholars of French political and social history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Politics of Cultural Policy in France offers a lively and iconoclastic account of cultural policy-making in France. Focusing on the policies of the Socialist governments of 1981-86 and 1988-93, the book suggests that policy towards the arts was shaped less by an all-powerful state than by influential professional interest groups. In addition to presenting unusual insights into a policy area which has rarely been studied by political science, The Politics of Cultural Policy in France thus provides significant revisions to conventional views of relations between the state and civil society in France.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAndre Malraux was pre-eminent among his contemporaries in his passionate espousal of left-wing causes, and was the French writer who enjoyed the highest reputation during the 1930s for his attempts to reconcile the imperatives of literary creation with those of political action. However, of the many studies devoted to Malraux, few have analyzed the politics depicted in his fiction in relation to the politics he proclaimed, in an effort to establish the extent to which they informed or subverted each other.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book analyses Malraux's writing from his journalism in Indochina to his novels, art studies and (anti)memorialist essays. Cutting through the established dual biographical image of Malraux as a committed leftwinger and revolutionary novelist turned unconditional Gaullist and diehard anti-Communist at the Liberation, it makes a balanced assessment of Malraux as a non-ideological if elitist artist who shaped his public role as much as he shaped the existence of his heroes both novelistic and real.
