  Feeling British

  How can one assess the adhesion of individuals and social groups to the multi-ethnic and multicultural British nation of our times? Where should their identity be inscribed on the canvas  of composite identities, some of which might either be regarded as tokens of tolerance and inclusion, or be considered (by others) as potential threats for the cohesion of the nation? To penetrate the deepest strata of British identity, we propose to combine the methods of research in civilization with a multi-disciplinary approach...

  Landscapes

  Le terme « paysage » fait l’objet de nombreux débats conceptuels. En effet, la perception du temps et de l’espace varie précisément selon les époques et les lieux, chacun se représentant et inventant un paysage nouveau (Westphal, La Géocritique, 2007). L’enjeu est de dépasser le clivage entre acteur et spectateur du paysage, pays et paysan, paysage et environnement et d’éviter d’abstraire le lien entre les paysages et leur territoire. Les paysages concernent autant le spectateur et son point de vue subjectif et parfois esthétique, que l’expérience concrète du promeneur.
