    Victorians like us – Domesticity and worldliness

    Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”

    From novels to government reports, the Victorians attached unprecedented significance to domesticity. The household was a central institution, and their occupants played out their different roles according to custom and circumstance. Within its sphere, gender, class, economic and political conflicts were played out as the household provided the background for important social practices. These practices ranged from the kitchen to the parlour, from the street to the Houses of Parliament, from the colonial metropole to the British colonial outposts in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

    Tourism - the phenomenon and its socio-economic consequences

    Le mot tourisme possède deux sens : l’acte de voyager pour des raisons non lucratives et l’activité économique correspondante. Les dictionnaires français du XIXe siècle soulignent les caractères de « curiosité » et le « désœuvrement » qui sont le propre des touristes. Au XXe siècle, les institutions internationales complètent la définition en ajoutant le critère du temps. Le tourisme ne peut naître et se développer que si diverses conditions sont réunies : la curiosité, le goût de la découverte et le dépaysement ; des ressources permettant de financer cette curiosité ; du temps libre pour pouvoir quitter temporairement la résidence habituelle ; des moyens de transport et d’hébergement.

Quelle conception de l’éthique du sport contribuent-ils à diffuser ?

    Nights and Mountains

    This call for articles probes the development of mountain nights in their various historical, economic, social, cultural, territorial and environmental dimensions. This inquiry forms part of a chronotopical investigation and rhythmanalysis of societies and territories in which we examine the organization of time along the 24-hour daily cycle, the weekly cycle of seven days and combinations of the two. The central assumption of this call for articles is that mountains have not been spared the reach of the day into the night, and are becoming territories of tension, investigation, creativity and experimentation that compel us to rethink our ways of living by examination of their nocturnal and temporal dimensions.
