  Cities and cultural circulation in sub-Saharan Africa - 20th-21st centuries

  Actors, modes and impacts

  Cette journée d’étude est l’aboutissement d’un séminaire interdisciplinaire organisé en 2015 et 2016 à l’INALCO. Celui-ci entendait réfléchir à la relation complexe entre des productions artistiques et patrimoniales, des politiques culturelles publiques et l’émergence d’identités sociales, collectives ou individuelles, dans des espaces urbains en Afrique subsaharienne depuis le XIX^e siècle. Cette journée entend approfondir une analyse dialoguée de phénomènes complexes induitspar la notion de « circulation ».

  Geo-economic and geo-political approaches

  The aim of the conference "Contemporary Crisis and changes" is to question these contemporary upheavals through both a geo-economic and a geopolitical reading. The conference will provide elements of analysis and compare them especially with contemporary representations of globalisation emphasizing in particular the logic of closure that seems to characterize this phenomenon.

  Labels in the field of cultural and natural heritage

  Created in the 60s, the label's use for cultural and natural heritage has increased dramatically for several years, specially in France. Inherited from the marketing and trade world, the use of labels for cultural and natural heritage illustrates the expansion of heritage's conception to new artefacts and new cultural properties, in an anthropological meaning. Some recent studies on the cultural and natural heritage labels  insist on the economic benefits for development of territories. But the legal and institutional dimensions of labels in heritage have been ignored. The goal  of the symposium is to define and precise the purposes and the caracteristics of labels in the field of heritage.
