Consulate of France in Atlanta

Reflecting on the Impact of the #Olympics, #Urbanism, and #Migration with #Marseille Historians For the final week of #FranceAtlanta2024, we had the privilege of hosting renowned Marseille historians Stéphane Mourlane and Céline Regnard for a week of insightful conversations, part of the #CityCité Atlanta x Marseille transatlantic cooperation program by Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education. As the Paris Olympics wrap up and with just two years until the World Cup and the 30th anniversary of the 1996 #Atlanta Olympics, 2024 offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the enduring legacies of these iconic Games—particularly in terms of urban development, migration, and social transformation. We kicked off the week on Monday, Oct. 28 with a captivating lecture by Stéphane Mourlane at Emory University’s Department of Art History. His talk, “Olympic Games and Urban Transformation (1896—2024)” explored how the Games have reshaped cities over the last century. The next day, on Tuesday, Oct. 29, Mourlane joined the quarterly Atlanta Studies Meetup alongside local experts Mike Carnathan and Bem Joiner. His presentation delved into the complex urban, social, and environmental impacts of hosting the Games. On Thursday, Oct. 31, Stéphane Mourlane and Céline Regnard led an engaging session for architecture and design students at Georgia Tech College of Design discussing “Immigration in Marseille: Urban Heritage and Issues of Postcolonial Design.” To close out the week, on Friday, Nov. 1, Céline Regnard shared her extensive research on postcolonial issues and immigration in Marseille with students at Emory University’s Department of French and Italian, offering a powerful lens on the city’s evolving identity. A big thank you to all our incredible partners for making this series possible and for fostering such meaningful dialogue between France and Atlanta! Emory University Christina E.
