Les non-publics de la culture. Une approche ethnographique de situations de réception demi-contraintes

2013

Photographic exhibitions are organized today "outdoor"; I study the "non-public" (Ancel & Pessin, 2004): the absents. What are the factors hindering the encounter with the works despite their urban exposure? The article attempts to study the performances of culture that are forged by the respondents (migrants from the lower classes) during outings organized by community centers or municipal associations. To understand why photographic exhibitions fail to mobilize some, I observe in fact that the last prefer other cultural events. Using two case studies (a contemporary dance show, a play), I show that the contact of some actors with culture lead to misunderstandings or misconceptions that me…

Can we increase children’s rights endorsement and knowledge?: A pilot study based on the reference framework of competences for democratic culture

2022

This pilot study is the first to examine whether a novel curriculum based on the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) could increase children’s endorsement and knowledge of children’s rights. We conducted a pre-test-post-test design with an intervention and a comparison school. Pupils (n = 172) from Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Spain attended schools in which the curriculum was taught, whereas pupils in the comparison group (n = 120) attended schools in the same city where the curriculum was not taught. Both groups were tested on their endorsement and knowledge of rights before and at the end of the intervention. Children in the intervention group incre…

Straw uses trade-off only after soil organic carbon steady-state

2018

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the key for a healthy soil and a relevant property to achieve the sustainability on soil management. However, soils are still net exporters of organic matter. One example is the use of wheat straw residue for industrial and energy applications, which has gained attention in the last years. The offfarm use of this abundant and low cost resource should follow sustainability criteria to avoid soil degradation and SOM losses. Straw residue incorporation is recognized as a recommended management practice to control erosion and mitigate CO2 emissions by increasing SOM. The goal of this work was: i) to evaluate the steady-state carbon (C) level in relation to C input a…

Comment positionner l'offre culturelle ? De la compréhension de la relation personne – objet à l'intégration du lieu de consommation

2005

This article seeks to answer the strategic question of the cultural institutions positioning by insisting on the need, on the one hand, for analyzing the total relation between the consumer and the cultural object (central road of positioning definition) and, on the other hand, for considering the role of the cultural place (peripheral road). We will be able to consider that the ways of differentiation are multiple and correspond to a conceptualization of the ambivalent cultural experience.

Patrimoine Immatériel et identité culturelle. Le repas gastronomique des Français reconnu par l'UNESCO

2011

International audience; Comment faire comprendre au monde que l'on peut demander, auprès de l'UNESCO, l'inscription de la France au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité, au titre du patrimoine immatériel gastronomique, sans pour autant exprimer le moindre désir de suprématie sur les autres cultures alimentaires ? Quels ressorts identitaires, par exemple humains, techniques et culturels, mettre en valeur, dans un souci de préservation et de transmission d'un domaine d'excellence, au bénéfice de l'humanité ? Sous quel angle dominant et en quels termes élémentaires, fondateurs, donner sens et forme à la démarche ? Ainsi peut-on énoncer, quelques unes, des problématiques foncières rencontrées d'emb…

How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums

2017

Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…

Grammar and representations: a valuable insight?

2017

In the sociocultural and socioeducational context of Paris Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, grammar is often perceived as a succession of rules to be assimilated in order to apply them in exercises, the central aim being gratification through marks. For this learning public, mostly Arabic, from an educational culture where rote learning is privileged, grammar is deemed indispensable and as difficult as that of Arabic. FFL teachers are facing a major challenge: to design French grammar as a tool for access to meaning, jointly and alongside vocabulary. In this perspective, a passage through the study of representations provides valuable insight.
