Revue des Deux Mondes Summer Issue Honors Jean Gabin and Musée du Quai Branly
The summer edition of the Revue des Deux Mondes, overseen by Aurélie Julia, highlights two significant topics related to French cultural heritage. One dossier commemorates actor Jean Gabin, marking fifty years since his passing, while the other reflects on the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, which opened two decades ago. Delphine Jouenne and Christian Authier portray Gabin as a 20th-century legend whose influence extended beyond film. Philippe Delaroche and Dorian Grelier examine how Michel Audiard's dialogues contributed to Gabin's legacy. The second dossier, featuring Stéphane Martin and Emmanuel Kasarhérou, explores the museum as a political initiative, emphasizing provenance, restitution issues, and the representation of non-Western cultures in French institutions. Additionally, the issue presents a musical selection with compositions by Omar Sosa, Rajery, and Mario Canonge.
