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).

The concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), which has been recently formalized under the auspices of UNESCO (2003), represents the outcome of two centuries of national policies on cultural heritage. This concept spawned from desire of cultural preservation and also the European context of the creation of national identities during the nineteenth century. It thus comes in complete correlation with social and political institutions (including the State), the gradual establishment of a national collective memory, and the protean notions identity, from national identities to the various forms of local and micro-local identities. While ICH thouroughly espouses the many forms of cultural and political territorialization, as well as the many claims related to it, cultural heritage is nowadays both a quickly growing phenomenon and a fruitful object of investigation for the social sciences and humanities. These studies explore the individual or institutional “emotions of heritage” that lay the foundation of the heritage process, or the establishment of a “heritage machine,” which consists in the entire “heritage chain,” its successive phases and its actors. This whole phenomenon is however so widespread nowadays, that some do not hesitate to speak of “patrimonial totalitarianism” while warning against the risks of cultural reification and museumification. While in France at least, the voluntary sector of traditional music and dance is generally categorized under this new banner of PCI, this article attempts to propose synthetically an anthropology of this problematic notion.

The village resort of Abondance, in the Northern French Alps, decided in the spring of 2007 to shut down its ski area, which was facing economic difficulties, with the objective of converting it into a cultural tourism destination designed around the Gothic heritage of the region. However, this new project raised strong opposition from the locals and, after many complications, the ski lifts were rehabilitated and the cultural tourism project abandoned. Almost ten years after this controversial episode, this study offers a social, historical and political analysis of the challenges and stakeholders dynamics of this non-conversion, in other word, of the continuity of low mountain range winter sports activities in Abondance. The results highlight the dynamics of a territorial attachment to a particular economy, in this case winter sports; an attachment especially motivated by the power relations between the quickly declining agricultural world (unfavorable to winter sports) and the tourism sector. The life stories of many of the tourism stakeholders show this leisure economy to be a sort of social revenge.

Studying the perception of inhabitants about the outer-urban paths in Balagne (Corsica) should allow us to analyse the impact of progressions on the edge of urbanity and durality on the dynamic of territorial appropriation. This article starts by presenting the ethnographic study conducted since 2013. It then focuses on body postures during the walks and the mobilization of a sensitive approach. The point is to understand how people relate to places emotionnaly and what it tells us about their attachement to the territory. In a similar way, walkers' discourses are analysed in order to determine how walking on the urban littoral allow one to define a belonging to the oeukoumène and rediscover oneself.

Working notebooks, held by a French mason between 1928 and 1952 have haunted the sociological imagination of his son, during more than forty years, forcing him to frequently revise the frame of their analysis. The paper is an account of the three main steps whereby this perseverance was performed : the first one took the notebooks as materials to build an anthropology of piece-workers masons, the second gave great value to the capacity of the field data sampling to embed both the work and his environment, the third deemed the erasure of the writer as a characteristics of his stylistic ontology. The tenacious sociologist with his admiring gaze moved thus from the enunciators to the statements, and from the statements to the enunciation. But, if he succeeded to ensure justice to his inherited notebooks, he remains far from finding satisfactory answers to the questions their existence as a collection still generates.

This paper examines the feasibility conditions for the relocation measures proposed in the context of climate-change-related sea-level rise. The authors discuss innovative implementation and funding arrangements to suggest ways to help local authorities develop protocols for action. The discussion begins by considering the principles which will change the perception of such relocations into integrated territorial reorganization projects. This approach enables operations to be divided into different modules that must be planned and coordinated. The authors then explore possible compensation and temporary occupancy mechanisms in order to increase acceptability and reduce the need for public funding. Finally, a simulation is presented of the funding needs in the case of two representative archetypes: a neighbourhood and a coastal community. Some thought is also given to the need for regulatory development in order to reduce the institutional constraints that currently exist in the case of France.
