“For the World’s Benefit” : Transnational Perspectives on the First Century of the Panama Canal
The centennial of the canal’s inauguration provides an opportunity to renew inquiry about Panama’s mission of “service to the world”, as the country’s national motto states. The colloquium approaches the history of the canal in light of recent efforts to promote “global”, “connected” or “transnational” history. It aims both to reassess the geopolitics of the canal’s control and to explore a broad range of social and cultural phenomena that have taken shape through the canal’s construction and use. Alongside diplomats, soldiers and journalists, who figured prominently in international relations, engineers and juristsput forward the professional dimension of international cooperation. Last but not least, the colloquium seeks to shed light on how travellers and laborers appropriated the canal and interpreted the “service of the world”.

Musée de la vie wallonne journal
Prochainement, le musée de la vie wallonne publiera la publication d’une revue annuelle dans laquelle seront présentées des recherches en relation directe avec les domaines de prédilection du Musée. Cette revue est destinée à un large public, initié mais pas forcément spécialiste. Elle se veut scientifique tout en restant accessible à tous. Pour son premier numéro, et également pour commémorer le centième anniversaire du Musée, le comité de rédaction a choisi d’envisager le thème du musée dans la société contemporaine. Ce thème se déclinera en plusieurs dossiers d’une dizaine de pages.
