  Transmission! Expertise, artisans and immaterial cultural heritage

  5th international conference of the Centre français du patrimoine culturel immatériel

  Des écoles d'arts appliqués aux ateliers conservatoires, des compagnonnages aux dispositifs maîtres-élèves, la transmission des savoir-faire constitue un enjeu majeur des métiers d'art et de la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel immatériel. Des États, des collectivités, des communautés et des individus ont tenté d'apporter des réponses à ce défi en développant, à des échelles diverses, différents systèmes de transmission dont les plus anciens ont traversé les siècles. La formation, qui peut être institutionnalisée ou non, est parfois adossée à la promotion et la désignation, au moyen de titres variés, de celles et ceux qui maîtrisent le mieux ces techniques et métiers.

  Revisiting Commemoration

  Practices, uses and appropriations of the Centenary of the Great War

  The Centenary of the Great War has become a major commemorative event. In France, through the range of events it has inspired, and their distribution throughout the country, this Centenary has become as significant an event as the Bicentenary of the French Revolution was in 1989. At the time, the Bicentenary was a significant contribution to the development of original landmark studies, on the staging of history, and on commemorative social practices, on memory politics and their transformations over the long term, on “commemorative mania” or the erasing of the national “commemorative superego”. The Centenary of the Great War thus provides the opportunity to pursue this reflection by emphasising, not so much who is commemorating but what the commemoration is doing: the practices, the uses and the social appropriations that arise from this. Unlike in 1989, the Commemoration of the First World War is taking place simultaneously in different countries. It therefore allows us to immediately incorporate a comparative perspective.
