The French Language Enrichment Commission (CELF) has introduced a new term, nominite, to describe the practice of mentioning well-known people or organizations in speeches to appear more authoritative or familiar with them. This concept is similar to the English phrase "name dropping." The commission, which advises the Prime Minister and works to enhance the French language in economic, scientific, and technical areas, has also proposed terms such as "evergreen fund," "decentralized exchange protocol (PED)," and meme jeton or cyberjeton meme to describe digital tokens that use recognizable internet culture elements to gain popularity. The commission has warned that these meme tokens are especially vulnerable to scams related to cyberjeton. In other developments, the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC) in Normandy may see a new director, as the Ministry of Culture has posted a vacancy. Jean-Michel Knop has held the position since 2024. In the Centre-Val de Loire region, Naïma Ramalingom has been appointed as the new DRAC director, replacing Christine Diacon, who served since 2022. The Hauts-de-France DRAC is also looking for a new director, with a vacancy notice set for December 2027. The Ministry of Culture is currently facing financial challenges, with potential budget cuts affecting cultural agencies that are co-funded by the state and regional governments. In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, this has impacted the agency's efforts to support public reading. The Court of Auditors has urged the Ministry to address the use of artificial intelligence, pointing out that the National Library of France (CNL) had no specific budget or staff for AI at the time of its review. In contrast, the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) had already allocated several million euros for AI-related initiatives. In the realm of literature, the Île-de-France Region has received a temporary delay in a court ruling that would have required the removal of its free digital school textbooks by September 30. The deadline has been extended to November 2, 2026, and the dispute is still ongoing. Meanwhile, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Regional Book Agency has had to cancel several professional events due to reduced funding. The South Region is now considering merging the agency with Arsud, a public administrative body focused on the cultural sector. The French Language Enrichment Commission has also been focused on updating vocabulary in scientific and technical fields. In 2025, the commission published 243 new terms, although their use in everyday language remains limited. These efforts aim to create reference terms that support the promotion of the French-speaking world and multilingualism. In the realm of literature and publishing, several notable events have taken place. The book so far so close, Pamir by François Pache and Pamiri Sashi Zaifi explores a region of Tajikistan through photographs and poems. The book Small War Stories: World War I by Mi-rage presents ten short stories with fictional characters based on documented facts. A limited edition of Three rare polars of Sergio Toppi has been released, and the magazine Presk’île celebrates the heritage and unique stories of the Presqu’île de Rhuys. In the realm of cultural policy, the French Senate may take action to address the government and the European Union on the importance of protecting and promoting the diversity of cultural expressions through a resolution. Senator Catherine Morin-Desailly (Seine-Maritime, Union Centriste), vice-president of the European affairs commission, is pushing for stronger regulatory measures targeting major digital platforms to ensure cultural diversity is preserved.
