Presented in the media as high-tech DIY communities, fab labs and makerspaces are often seen through the prism of innovation. This article aims to show that this rather techno-economic view has limitations. They can also be examined from another angle, which is more concerned with their socio-political potential. These open spaces, which provide access to production capacities using sophisticated and often digital equipment, appear to embody schools of thought looking for ways of liberation through technological developments. Fab labs and makerspaces therefore merit to be examined, particularly in how they can redistribute capabilities, challenge the industrial order, and foster the development of this new form of workshop.

Carmen Roy's fieldwork practices from the late sixties in Saskatchewan remain misunderstood. Nevertheless, they are an important part of French Canadian ethnology's history, as they demonstrate, in concrete terms, the boundaries of a discipline whose foundations hearken back to the ideology of French survival in North America and the « true tradition » school. Carmen Roy's experience is especially interesting given the fact that it reveals a failed fieldwork study that the folklorist was unable to explain. This article proposes to discuss this hidden failure while situating it within the development of French Canadian ethnology.

AbstractThis article concerns a multidisciplinary research project begun over a year ago on the putting-into-words of the working-class habitat in Rennes (France). In an area reputed to be gallo-speaking (a form of Breton), certain streets in this city have bilingual signs (French-Celtic Breton). Discourse on the city as a whole is correlated to sociolinguistic discourse (that deals with sociolinguistic stratification and linguistic mobility) and interrogated from three aspects: 1. multi or bilingual signage and discrimination of spaces; 2. the use of languages on signage (in street names) and traces of sociolinguistic memory; 3. linguistic planning of urban spaces (imposition, reproduction, validation or denial of a sociolinguistic memory) and glottopolitical interventionism.

AbstractThe Breton language has become an urban languague. Its future development is linked to the cities of Brittany. Two models have been put forward concerning its development: the first by the Committee for Breton Identity in Upper Brittany and the second is the urban policy model developed by the city of Lorient in Lower Brittany. The latter model aims to develop bilingualism in road signposting and signage on buildings. While the first model proposes mainly a symbolic signage, the second model has a systematic character. Basing myself on the first model, I have observed that the second model, which is the object of study, also derives from the will to develop the Breton culture by way of urban signage. The naming of places is part of this process and becomes for the political actors a means to develop culture and identity. The correlation of the public demand in the Pays de Lorient for this type of signage, measured through a widespread questionnaire and semi-directive interviews, with the actual application of the policy reveals the identity and the economic issues. It also enables me to observe the political thinking and the field practices to draw a picture of the Breton situation.

The article sets out to provide an overview of the contemporary issues that cross social work. Having been interested for several years in the evolution of social work, especially in an international French-speaking context, the author illustrates her point from the diverse fields of investigation that she has been able to conduct. It is therefore a question of bringing to light how the transformations take place with regard to different scenes characterized by their own logics. The crossing of three social worlds in social work will be explored: training, professional practice environments, the managerial world of organizations.

This article contributes to the analysis of the processes of student training mobility and anchorage in Brittany's university cities. Using a quantitative methodology, we have re-examined, on the one hand, the hypothesis that students have become more and more mobile, and we have also looked at their anchorage in the university city (both their residential and urban practices per se). Our reference population is that of IUT (technological university institute) students, at bachelor degree level (Ist, 2nd, and 3rd year) and Breton university MA students (1st and 2nd year).

This contribution is about the dual-process of tourism development and heritage making of the historic city centers, and to the co-presence of individuals living there (in a permanent or temporary way), namely permanent inhabitants and tourists. These dual entries, by tourism and heritage, lead us to wonder quite particularly about the relations between space and time. If the spatial dimension of social relations that we comprehend stay constant, ie the center of an “heritagized” and “touristified” city, these are three temporal dimensions that will be examined as so many angles of analysis. We will tackle the time of the everyday life (and off-everyday life), the time of the seasons and the time of the “patrimonial memories”. Our subject is partly established on a field work led in the small French cities of Sarlat (Dordogne) and Dinan (Côtes-d'Armor).

AbstractIn the capitalist society of the second modernity, the notion of boundary is undermined by the process of globalisation. Yet this process has created its own antidote : alterglobalization (the « other » globalization). Amongst the different social strata partaking in this movement, the contemporary peasantry plays a crucial role. Yet, through their position as producers and transformers of nature, peasants necessarily belong to a country, to a region, to a place; they are anchored in a given territory. Thus, the contemporary peasantry, due to its essential position within the society/nature « metabolism », is an important counter-power to the present globalization. This paper analyses how some European peasants contribute to the invention of a new culture, via their participation in the alter-globalization movement, a culture based on initiatives linking the particular and the universal. In so doing, it re-examines the notion of boundary from an anthropological perspective.
