  City and museum: new territorial issues

  2014 CELAT summer school

  Le CELAT et les Musées de la civilisation organisent leur 3^ème édition de l'université d'été sous le thème « Ville et musée : nouveaux enjeux patrimoniaux », du 11 au 17 mai 2014 inclusivement. Durant sept jours consécutifs, des professionnel.le.s de la muséologie et des études urbaines interviendront sur le thème « Ville et Musée » dans le cadre d'une rencontre inédite entre une vision muséologique de la ville et une vision urbanistique du musée. À travers l'analyse de plusieurs études de cas nationales et internationales, des spécialistes de la culture, de la géographie, des études urbaines, de la muséologie, de l'art public et du tourisme accompagneront les étudiant.e.s tout au long de la semaine dans le but d'identifier les nouvelles pratiques muséales, partimoniales et artistiques au sein de l'espace urbain, et ce, à travers un travail d'immersion dans des institutions culturelles et muséales de la ville de Québec.

  1st International Symposium: Hope, Betrayal and Trust

  Part of the Research Program on: Lost Virtues, Found Vices

  This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the complex and fluid relationships between hope and trust, and how might betrayal play a productive role in this bond. As concepts, ideas or simple notions, hope and trust seem to have simultaneously lost contemporary currency while being ever more necessary in our every day lives. We seem resigned to a kind of hopelessness, seem unwilling to trust others and are ready and willing to betray whomever we might need to in order to advance our own careers or personal agendas. Yet new technologies require us to place personal information online, to communicate with strangers, and to hold onto the promise of happiness. How are our maintenance of hope, our need to trust and our willingness to betray intertwined? How are these concepts evolving?
