Another Life
2013
Many writers started their professional lives in very diverse fields before embracing writing, or on the contrary have turned away from writing. The present volume seeks to explore the complex relationship between that ‘other life’ and writing. The aim is to determine whether a writer’s ‘other life’ appears in, influences or even shapes his/her work, and to what extent. What is the part of gestation and that of rupture? A diversity of writers is examined: Patrick Chamoiseau, J. M. Coetzee, Jan J. Dominique, Janet Frame, Amitav Ghosh, L. K. Johnson, Wilson Harris, Dany Laferrière, Yannick Lahens, NourbeSe Philip, Emmelie Prophète, Arundhati Roy, Edward Said, but also Bartolomé de las Casas a…
Co-construct territorial cultures
2015
International audience; Carrying out investigations in the framework of the scientific network INTI (International Network of Territorial Intelligence, http://inti.hypotheses.org/), the main idea is here to value the contribution of multiple approaches in territorial information and communication science that can be experienced there. Inspired by the triad of Pestalozzi, these experiences have applied and adapted the territorial engineering approach "Catalyse" in their territories.From the cooperative structuring of information to concrete initiatives of local change, communication processes make possible iterations between understanding and action, in which the analysis of the effects of s…
Sens et pratiques de l’héritage en contexte diasporique
2022
En partant de la notion de discontinuités pour éclairer les concepts d’héritage et de diaspora, cette étude éclaire le sens et les pratiques des jeunes générations d’origine vietnamienne. L’article se concentre sur les événements qui structurent une temporalité de l’héritage et de la transmission. Le décès et la naissance d’un côté et le retour au Vietnam de l’autre nourrissent un sens de la communauté transnationale, alimentée par des pratiques, parfois digitales, qui se révèlent alors toujours tournées vers les liens familiaux.

Why do financial inclusion policies fail in mobilizing savings from the poor ? Lessons from rural south India
2017
© The Authors 2017. Development Policy Review © 2017 Overseas Development Institute Combining multivariate and qualitative analyses, this micro-level study suggests an explanation for the persistence of informal savings in rural south India despite publicly run large-scale programmes to promote bank savings. Gold, in particular, but also Rotating Saving and Credit Associations (ROSCAs) and private lending, remain the dominant forms of savings. We argue that cultural norms and social institutions, such as social class and caste, shape the nature of savings, and also the propensity and opportunities to save. Gold serves multiple purposes, financial, economic, socio-cultural and political. Fur…

Genesis and destiny : for a dynamogenic’s conception of the myths
2012
If the myth has become today an unavoidable fact to understand the human soul and its different forms of expression, it remains, however, ambiguous and hardly conceptualizing. Indeed, the myth is at once understood as a fictitious narrative which isn’t based on any in-depth reality, but also as a real and highly significant discourse. In order to underline the philosophical meaning of our work, we have begun by assert the myth problem such as it evolves in the European thought. The myth is badly affected by a too long history; it has been divided between rationalism and romanticism. Then, we have questioned other civilizations – Fon from Dahomey, Benin – for whose myth represents all the hu…
La ‘Première’ dans les activités de nature: une performance, un record?
2018
Dans les activités de nature, la « première » est une forme de performance particulière. L’analogie entre les premières et les records sportifs doit être questionnée. L’objet de cet article est de démontrer les spécificités des premières par rapport aux records sportifs et d’en tirer une meilleure compréhension de l’identité des activités de nature. Nous nous appuyons sur une analyse socio-historique des premières et de leur valorisation dans différents médias, propres à une communauté de pratiquants ou grand public. Nos principaux résultats révèlent que, les premières et les records se rejoignent sur certaines caractéristiques liées notamment à la performance physique. Néanmoins, derrière …
