SummaryEvery work of art needs a place. How does the spatial organisation constrain the piece of art produced there ? The case of Chicago jazz musicians in the 1940s and 1950s shows how the great variety of jazz places conditioned the music that was played in them. Many musicians that played in these diverse spaces performed in a varied and complex repertory of styles, each one related to a specific variant of popular music of the era. It is necessary to realize that what they did in one place affected what they did in another in order to understand the production of one player or one group. The music of one jazz ensemble, even a very serious one, could bear the marks of less pure forms of the music that they played elsewhere. What this means is that there is no pure type of music or musicians.

Objectives The article presents the clinical description and discussion of a 17 years old Moroccan unaccompanied minor who migrated on his own to France. This case illustrates the complexity of the foreign unaccompanied minors' trajectories and the challenges of the clinical and institutional accompaniment provided in France. In the lights of the results of our clinical work and research, we suggest transcultural tools and perspectives that facilitate the construction of a narrative and that reinforce trust with the professionals-care givers working along with this population. Creativity is needed in the care of foreign isolated young people, in the absence of the family. Past traumatic experiences in these youths' lives hinder the process of building trust in the host country's educational accompaniment.Method In the framework of our action research, we describe the transcultural therapy setting created by our team to address the unaccompanied minors' psychological distress. Aiming to encourage the emergence of a life narrative that had been obstructed and ruptured by traumatic experiences, we resort to various tools facilitating the storytelling (objects, circle test, mediators interpreters, transcultural interpretations).Results The discussion follows three stances: the anthropological perspective focusing on the specific situation of the harraga—young people wandering both on the psychic and physical levels—, the political perspective, and the trauma clinic perspective. The enhancement and deepening of the cross-cultural skills of social workers strengthen their resources and provide them with better tools to accompany these young people. Additionally, results highlight the impact of the political discourse and strategies in the social workers' self-perception and the strains it creates in their daily work.Conclusion The transcultural approach addressed to unaccompanied minors relaunches the identity construction process in adolescence, impeded by their traumatic journey in migration. This implies restoring coherence in the life path of young people despite the rupture caused by the migration, often reactivated by new separations during the repetitive changes of foster homes. The unaccompanied minors have the possibility, through this clinical setting to depict an accurate representation of themselves, to develop narratives that can outgrow the preconceptions associated with their status, opening a brighter way for their individual destinies.

AbstractIn both his poetry (Les matins habitables,Je n'en connais pas la fin, Le plus clair du temps, Techgnose) and fiction (Moncton mantra), Gérald Leblanc made his imprint on the territories, real and imaginary, that he went through. A wanderer in poetic ground, his works are punctuated by various forms of intertextuality, all of which radiate the physical dimension of language, French and English. On his travels, his imaginary companions are Arthur Rimbaud, whose “soles of wind” he borrowed to go roaming high and low, Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan and Tim Buckley. Their songs provide a framework for Leblanc's poems, also nurtured by jazz and tinged with Buddhist spirituality. The numerous intertexts being re-organized are all part of a voyage where images and references collide. In his textes-taxis, to quote his own phrase, cityscapes are perpetually being re-organized setting off a continuous series of inouïssances. The color blue, which is both visual and acoustic when the blue note is mentioned, is the only element that never changes in Leblanc's inchoate landscapes and his dreamed-of Acadian land.
