Thursday 9 October
Lecture: The Fifth Republic at 50
The Fifth Republic was born in 1958, in the midst of the bloody and divisive Algerian War, with the return to power of de Gaulle. The lecture will focus on the establishment of the Fifth Republic, the legacy of the Fifth Republic's founder, the heritage of colonialism, and the evolution of the constitution and political structures in France over the past 5 decades. How is the Fifth Republic faring at the age of 50?
Presented by Robert Aldrich, Professor of European History and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Sydney.
AF Gallery 6.30-8pm All welcome!
No access to the building after 7pm
Thursday 16 October
Debate: The Fifth Republic at 50
- In 1958, the 'first couple' of France were Charles and Yvonne de Gaulle; 50 years later, it's Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni. One can hardly imagine a bigger difference in presentation, personality and the personification of politics. How has the political class changed in the last 50 years?
- One of General de Gaulle's ambitions was to reestablish and maintain French 'grandeur' in world affairs. How much 'grandeur' does France has in culture, politics, economics and diplomacy 50 years later?
- In the 1950s, Paris was the capital of the nouveau roman and the nouvelle vague in cinema. Is Paris still a cultural and intellectual capital?
- The constitution of 1958 was made sur mesure for de Gaulle and his supporters. Does France now need a Sixth Republic?
The debate will be conducted by Liz Rechniewski (Senior Lecturer in French Studies, University of Sydney); Denise Fisher (Former Australian Consul- General, Nouméa); Aaron Ridgway (Journalist, Canberra Times); Matthew Graves (Lecturer, Université de Provence); Matthew Krasovitsky (Student, University of Sydney; former student, Sciences Po, Paris); Caitlin Tobin (Student, University of Sydney; former student, Sciences Po, Paris) and the moderator will be Robert Aldrich (Professor of European History, University of Sydney).
