In Europe as in French-speaking America, carnival intrigues persist only in a few villages or small towns where the population has remained fairly homogeneous : masked people enter the houses of people they know and then recall, in a humorous or satirical way, anecdotes or personal situations relating to their “hostsˮ. They disguise their voices to prolong the interval of time before they are recognized. This provokes their hosts, who try to unmask them in a friendly way by offering drinks. The author has examined available literature on the subject and has personally observed the practice, which she describes and analyzes by combining ethnographic methodology and socio-political reflection.

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.

In order to better understand the way the first European explorers looked upon the physical reality of the St. Lawrence River between Gaspé and Quebec City, we offer a synthesis of several major works dealing with travel literature and the St. Lawrence estuary, hoping to bring out, through a brand-new reading of the source material, the special link established over the years between a river and the texts which describe it. Above and beyond the actual recording of various places and landmarks in the accounts provided by Cartier, Champlain, Denys, La Potherie and Charlevoix, we have sought, within narrations with the river as their setting, implicit or explicit textual manifestations which create a parallel between place and writing. These few so-called “founders”' accounts of the New-France era provide a unique vision of the St. Lawrence space, which in turn remains a tributary of the very medium which calls it into being: the writing itself.

On April 15, 1922, Octave-Louis Aubert, a journalist, publisher and editor living in Saint-Brieux (Côtes-du-Nord, Brittany), launched the monthly journal La Bretagne touristique, renamed Bretagne in 1929. Through his publication, illustrated with rich iconography in which photography figured prominently and favoured regionalism, Aubert sought to promote Brittany in all fields - economy and tourism certainly, but literature and art above all - by defending Brittany's traditions while associating them with modernization and modernity. Texts by well-known writers supported this initiative. Photographic and textual reports created the portrait of a territory with a strong regional identity that strove to preserve its Celtic language, Breton, its costumes and its traditions by promoting its heritage and its past, but strove also to modernize. At the same time, especially in the 1930s, the journal brought attention to young creative Bretons (writers, poets, painters, sculptors, engravers, musicians) by publishing their texts or reproducing their works. The perusal of the 173 issues published during the between-the-wars period demonstrates that La Bretagne touristique forged images of the “country of Breton,” this “tiny homeland” that was working to preserve its regional identity within the framework of the “larger homeland” of France after the sacrifices made in World War I.

This article presents the recent years of the author's journey, from research in dance to the creation of a third place of agriculture in art, Kerminy. The relationship of the two terms, art and agriculture, guides the discussion based on the field of dance, performance and somatic practices. By discussing her artistic experience with market gardeners and training in market gardening techniques together with somatic practices, the author presents public body workshops regarding vegetation in forests and cultivated areas. At Kerminy, she creates and invests a “greenhouse-laboratory-stage” to invite market garden dancing via methods to divert the codes of the art scene. Thus, this space attesting to a potential renewal of the modes of production and dissemination of art relative to ecological issues is used to present other examples of third places and artistic approaches in agricultural or rural areas. The weave of art and agriculture invites artists to contribute to the places of work they invent, those related to the regeneration of the earth and our living bodies.

The proliferation of green algae found on Brittany beaches (France) has been on the agenda since the 1980s, first as a local problem, then lately as a full-fledged national stake. This case study provides a striking illustration of the idea that ecological indicators are highly political entities. We follow the design of such indicators and analyze how intertwined political and scientific matters appear to be. To this effect, we put into perspective the process of scientifically elaborating ecological indicators and the political process of framing the public problems to which they can be related. The scientific expertise around green algae blooms has been characterized by strong controversies for a prolonged period of time, up until recently. We show the relative inefficiency of the demarcation work undertaken by the actors of the controversy. On the contrary, we underline the positive impact of adopting new intervention categories, validated by the State expertise that posits itself as a referee to stabilize the controversy.

The article proposes to consider a possible inflection of conceptions of winegrowers pains they suffer when applying pesticides. Now victims of pesticides have formed an association and have promoted the recognition of occupational diseases. This is a break. Among winegrowers investigated a decade ago, this conception change seems however limited. Indeed, contemporary shifts in the profession seem rather linked to the new crisis experienced by growers, forcing their work, especially into individualization. Their use of pesticides did not vary much. They do not notice abnormal mortalities among their colleagues, and the pains or diseases they suffer, while their individual use of pesticides, does not seem to be an alert for them. They still deny its scope by dissolving them in the wide category of work daily pains. For employers, perform treatments now becomes legally risky. It is mainly local residents, or institutions, rather than wine growers that now challenge the use of pesticides. While local authorities are concerned about quality of drinking water, the market is like a judge examining only incriminating facts. The demand for organic wines is growing, while cellarmen customer's even oenologists challenge winegrowers on their pesticide use. Despite these inflections, the denial of winegrowers on the consequences of pains they suffer still seems mostly their only possible strategy.

This contribution aims to identify multiple territorialities and their roles in environmental antagonistic dynamics and characterize the signs of place attachement that we observed in various studies on French coastal zone. Our research shows that place attachment can be revealed by an hypersensitivity of individuals or groups and the intensity of their reactions, the structuring of collectives, violence of acts of opposition, signs in the public spaces, the use of possessive adjectives in stakeholders arguments. These signs of place attachment reveal territorialities which are important to consider for conflict regulation because their lack of consideration very frequently lead, in our case studies, to a radicalisation of the conflict.
