  Call for papers - Representation

  Inhabiting

  "Perspective" Journal 2021 – n°2

  This call for paper asks the question of what it means to inhabit : to inhabit a space, a territory, one’s home or one’s body, whether we are dealing with far away frontiers, or the outlines of intimacy ; to inhabit one’s life, one’s society/ies, one’s epoch, in what inhabiting means in terms of being present in one’s world, for and with one another, to face circumstances as they stand. In a time when, across the globe, entire populations are confined to their homes, Perspective issues an invitation to revisit the visual and imaginary plasticity of inhabiting : “to occupy a place of settled residence or habitat,” so states the dictionary, suggesting habit, repetition, regularity ; but also occupying persons, inhabiting them, animating them, moving them.

  The Social Museum (musée de société) Today, Legacy and Evolution

  Since the end of the 1980s, many ethnographic museums around the world have evolved in line with political issues and current social and cultural preoccupations. Some of these changes have taken place within the framework of the creation of new national museums, especially where multicultural policies are at work. While these institutions’ missions are vastly different, they are frequently regrouped under the umbrella term “social museums”. These museums are dedicated to the representation of societies, both past and present, from varying viewpoints while at the same time demanding a social and civic role through their grappling with contemporary issues of identity, culture, society and environment. This issue of Culture & Musées aims to reformulate this concept in order to better understand its meaning, its uses, but also its most recent evolution within the context of 21^st-century museums.

  Tourism, interculturality and immaterial heritage

  9th Sino-European conference of tourism

  Le tourisme a été jusqu’à la fin du XX^e siècle une pratique essentiellement occidentale. De ce fait, la rencontre avec les populations autochtones a été largement abordée à travers le concept d’acculturation. Cette approche a d’autant plus convenu que la diffusion des touristes a été en grande partie orchestrée par le déploiement de l’appareil de production capitaliste et s’est construite dans les contextes du colonialisme et du néocolonialisme. Ainsi, George Cazes a sous-titré le second volume de l’ouvrage tiré de sa thèse consacrée au tourisme dans les pays du Tiers Monde : « Les nouvelles colonies de vacances » (1992). La métaphore traduit l’approche dominante de l’époque. En effet, le tourisme s’inscrit dans un rapport entre le centre et ses périphéries, engendrant l’intégration des pratiques dans un processus de domination et d’expansion symbolique et matérielle des sociétés occidentales.
