The first part of this volume, La Francophonie ou l’eloge de la diversite, is devoted to "Francophone cinema, between Bollywood and Hollywood." What in particular does Francophone cinema have to offer compared with American or Indian cinema? What more does Francophone cinema have to offer? What genres does it prefer? For what audience? The second part deals with the promotion of diversity in Francophone countries, taking into consideration the cultural aspects of Francophonie in the 21st century, the linguistic description of systems in contact, tracing the historical stages which have led to the creation of this locus of cultural diversity, and focusing finally on university cooperation and Franco-British scientific research.This book brings together contributions by outstanding authors who gathered in Oxford in October 2010 at the Maison francaise, including:Louis-Jean Calvet: Professor at the University of Provence.
