  Instances of power and cultural discourse

  Intercultural exchange in the age of globalization, second edition

  In the context of today’s social, political and economic changes, power is one of the governing principles of culture. Power comes in many shapes and sizes and it manifests itself under various forms: it can be tyrannical or a combination of forces (Foucault); it can be charismatic, traditional and rational (Weber) or the opposite – manipulative; it can also appear as a system of diluted forces that spring from the “social field” (Bourdieu); it can remain in the unconscious or it can manifest itself in the speech act. However it may appear, it has become clear that power shapes the course of the creation, interpretation and analysis of literary texts and other cultural products.

  Educative communities - training and practices in the context of diversity

  Les communautés éducatives doivent faire face aujourd'hui à un contexte préoccupant de guerres, d'insécurités et de crises humanitaires. Ce contexte conduit à l’arrivée dans les écoles d’enfants de demandeurs d'asile et de mineurs non accompagnés souvent déscolarisés. Le projet de ces nouvelles rencontres du réseau international éducation et diversité (RIED) est de se focaliser sur ces thématiques qui intéressent ou préoccupent les acteurs éducatifs et qui appellent des pistes de réponse. Dès lors, les travaux du colloque s'articuleront autour de cinq axes thématiques identifiés comme porteurs de « questions vives » dans le paysage éducatif des contextes francophones concernés.
