    New Ethnomusicological Perspectives From the Global South

    Issues of interculturality and pluriethnicity in Guyana

    Practices of care relations in question

    La dimension multiethnique et multiculturelle de la Guyane est un trait constitutif de ce territoire français d’Amérique du sud. En conséquence, des disparités et des hiérarchisations sociales et culturelles sont à l’œuvre et impactent les conditions de vie de la population (Piantoni, 2008). Le professionnel intervenant dans le champ de la protection de l’enfance sera ainsi, à son insu, amené à jauger la question de la bientraitance à l’aune de ses propres outils internes, c’est-à-dire au regard de sa propre expérience d’enfant ayant grandi dans une culture donnée. Comment ces professionnels s’y prennent-ils face à cette altérité culturelle révélant leur propre « sentiment d’être différent » ? Quelle conscience en ont-ils ? Comment cette différence impacte-t-elle leurs pratiques ? Quels retours d’expériences peut-on recueillir dans ces champs de pratiques ?

    Pensar las religiosidades desde una perspectiva de género

    Alcances, aportes y problematizaciones

    Analizar lo social desde una perspectiva género, ineluctablemente implica dar cuenta de la historicidad política y epistemológica del concepto. El género como categoría heurística guarda en su seno el calor de los debates y las luchas feministas, pero también los intentos de su sistematización teórica. De aquí reside la dificultad que el feminismo -en tanto campo de estudios y praxis política- encuentra al analizar y repensar el binomio género y religión.

    Masked balls in Guyana and elsewhere - carnival identities and images at issue

    Images and identities in carnival

    Le bal paré-masqué, rencontre culturelle entre le bal travesti bourgeois et la danse traditionnelle populaire et endiablée, appelée le « kasé-kô », fusion de deux espaces festifs (salon de bal bourgeois et salle de bal populaire) a connu lui aussi quelques évolutions au fil des années. Il suscite un certain nombre d’interrogations : fondements historiques, description et rôle des acteurs qui s’y engagent, évolution et enjeux dans un contexte socio- économique, politique et culturel, spécifique. Ce colloque international pluridisciplinaire permettra de croiser les regards, d’interroger les imaginaires, les discours et représentations concernant les bals masqués de Guyane et d’ailleurs.

In particular, the conference intends to explore and specify the aesthetic features and foundations of cosmopolitan and translocal cultures. How and under what conditions do the aesthetic conditions of production and reception matter for building cosmopolitan cultures?
