This article is devoted to the question of French religious music used by Christian Indians of New France during the 17th and 18th centuries. More particularly, it examines the surprising success of this religious and artistic practice in the post-contact North American world. It appears that cultural more than geopolitical or socioeconomic factors can explain the rapid adoption of European religious songs by Indians. In my opinion, only a better understanding of the role traditionally held by singing in the Indian culture could help us identify the cultural basis on which such a success is based. From there, it becomes possible to sustain a larger reflection about Catholicism's influence among Indians during the historical period.

This paper tries to shed some light on the process by which local communities are emerging as social counterparts of economic globalisation. It is assumed that the emergence of local communities is not an instant result of globalisation. According to the author, such a process is embedded in a much wider transformation of society including the crisis of the nation-state which was the main territorial mode of management of social relations under fordism. Local regulation arises as a result of collective actions, of a new kind of social movement supported by a wide range of local actors. This explains the variety of forms and delays which can be be seen in the process of structuring of local development and local regulation.
