Work, heritage and development
5th congress of the International Ergology Society
La démarche de l’ergologie offre-t-elle une approche pertinente dans le champ des questions intégrant le travail, le patrimoine et le développement ? Dans quelle mesure sa contribution est-elle singulière et innovante ? Afin d’établir un bilan et de tracer des perspectives, le principal objectif du cinquième congrès de la Société internationale d’ergologie (SIE) est de mettre en débats, au cours de trois journées, les travaux qui, en plusieurs lieux du monde, ont fait l’option de s’engager dans cette réflexion, tout en ayant parfois privilégié auparavant d’autres cadres de référence. La diversité des approches constituera un atout essentiel de cette rencontre qui se veut donc pluridisciplinaire.

An alternative Francophone world - Francophone culture and its global reach
Culture francophone à portée globale
Alors qu’il est souvent question dans l’essayisme (Baverez, Compagnon, Jourde, …) – tant français qu’étranger –, d’un déclin accentué de la culture française, ce qui ne veut sûrement pas dire de la culture en français, plusieurs produits, phénomènes et manifestations culturels et symboliques francophones rendent compte d’une surprenante vitalité et créativité, souvent reconnue et relayée sur le plan de la culture globale, qui prélude à un dépassement de la portée exclusivement « hexagonale » du fait culturel en français.

Another Music in a Different Room
Resulting from a series of developed works in the last decade within the framework of social sciences (namely Sociology of Culture, Sociology of Arts, Sociology of Youth, Urban Sociology and Sociology of Music), in this advanced seminar we will have the opportunity of deepening the understanding around the importance, functioning, process, the agents, characteristics, genres and subgenres of the current urban music scenes. The ANOTHER MUSIC IN A DIFFERENT ROOM will be a fruitful space for ideas, discussions and, therefore, for a great developments on scientific knowledge. So, it’s our intention to share all this scientific dynamic with the world in order to contribute to a larger debate on music, youth, lifestyles, culture, cultural scenes, music scenes. In this context, the ideas and discussions held in the Advanced Seminar, both by lecturers and participants, will be published in a Collaborative e-book.

Portugal, 40 years of Democracy
No momento em que se cumprem 40 anos da revolução democrática do 25 de abril de 1974, o país que ela ajudou a transformar vive uma das mais graves crises dos últimos 160 anos. Em 40 anos de democracia, Portugal viveu de forma intensa as grandes transformações da contemporaneidade que mudaram profundamente relações sociais, identidades coletivas, sistema político, que produziram avanços e recuos muito acentuados na transformação da natureza das relações económicas. Poucas sociedades europeias sofreram mudanças tão acentuadas no espaço de uma geração: a emancipação de uma das mais longas ditaduras da história europeia, o fim de uma guerra longa de 13 anos, ou a explosão criativa de democracia vivida há 40 anos abriram o caminho para a mudança socioeconómica e a maturidade política e cultural que, contudo, desde há alguns anos entraram num ciclo depressivo.

The French-speaking world: celebrations, events and effects
Question time
La francophonie n’est certes pas un fait culturel ou politique nouveau. Toutefois – indéchiffrable ou irréductible aux effets de correspondance linguistique au territoire ; qui plus est chargée d’une aura littéraire bien au-delà des francophonies originelles ou postcoloniales –, elle se revêt d’une ambiguïté définitoire, - souvent déclinée au pluriel -, et d’un statut géopolitique en éternel chantier. Quoi qu’il en soit, une chose est sûre : la francophonie se définit surtout par des interrogations ou des négations, tant par rapport au centre hexagonal que vis-à-vis d’une uniformisation linguistique et culturelle hégémonique.
