AbstractIn this article, I discuss how some Andean migrants to the urban periphery of Lima (Peru) reacted to the political violence and economic crisis of the 80s and 90s by turning to the messianic millenarian movement of the Israelites of the New Universal Covenant. I explore the strategies of adaptation, social recomposition and economic insertion of these migrants in the urban environment where this religious group developed. My main argument will be that conversion to this religious movement should be understood in terms of the discrimination and exclusion suffered by these migrants, as well as relation to their access to economic resources in the urban context.

The development of jazz in 1920s France, as well as its importation in art music, have often been considered as the development of a new kind of exoticism, in the broad sense of fascination with the “Other.” Such an association of jazz with exoticism tends to downplay the diversity its reception into art music circles in interwar France. This article aims at enhancing this diversity by examining two representative compositions by Darius Milhaud and Jean Wiéner in light of the discourse on exoticism during the interwar. The analysis of these works also draws upon the jazz repertoires which inspired the two composers, and the meanings these repertoires conveyed. Once reconsidered, exoticism provides an interesting tool in order to enlighten a range of uses of jazz in art music. These uses can be distributed between two poles. On the one hand, some composers use jazz in order to construct what will be called “exotic Negro music.” On the other hand, borrowing from jazz features can simply be a way to assert new aesthetics.

The rapid growth of Quito during the last years has originated numerous changes in the relation patterns with the surrounding area. Within a traditional System, as is the case as far as Ecuador is concerned, the classical model of relations is caracterized by a strong urban domination. Nevertheless, the study of two villages near Quito focuses upon a twin reality : a relative isolation and a negative behaviour towards the city. The findings that should apply to many villages scattered around the capital could also explain up to a certain point the weak distribution of slums in Quito.In opposition to hasty statements worked out from general concepts about dominated areas, this investigation is looking after a presentation and an interpretation of the man-space relation patterns in a perspective corresponding to the geographical approach where the local survey as well as the observation still have their place.

AbstractIn the framework of this study done in the United States and South Africa, we took a look at the phenomenon of the social representations of the school players – teacher and administration-teacher – in relation to ethno-cultural diversity in the context of learning/teaching mathematics in two elementary schools. In this article we aim for two objectives: 1) to identify the social representations of enthnocultural diversity of four elementary school math teachers 2) to understand their positions in terms of multi-and intercultural education. To meet the objectives, we will describe the concepts of social and cultural representations, ideas on the nature of mathematics and a three-part model of multi- and intercultural education (assimilation, adaptation and transformation). This research is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive. Even though the teachers mention the persistence of dominant assimilating values, they recognize the necessity of adapting to change by using every necessary effort to give value to the ethno-cultural and socio-cultural diversity of students who are traditionally marginalized both in terms of math knowledge and classroom interactions. Some more clearly recognize the importance of combating discrimination and promoting the intra- and inter-cultural empowerment of teachers and students through the mastery of math knowledge.

AbstractBuilding on the accounts of Cartier, Champlain, and the first missionaries to New France, this paper attempts to rediscover the “thread” of the narrative that connects these explorers. Through their writing, these men each created an image of the Americas and the wilderness, but fundamentally what unites them all is the shock of confronting otherness and the Other. Can one really understand, through their words, the initial drive of the explorers, or ever know the “ethnographic now” of their experiences? What kind of understanding do we gather from these texts? Over and above the narrative strategy, the text, when it elaborates on the appropriation and translation of the Other, bears traces of the established connection between two cultures in confrontation. Even if it later based its formal rules for ethnographic observation and transcription on scientific methods, anthropology has inherited this history. Finally, is it not the impossibility of attaining “pure other,” the expression of self through writing, and the similarly inescapable expression of self in the face of otherness, which constitutes the core methodological difficulty of anthropological fieldwork?

Tourism has long been considered as a phenomenon that destroys tradition, yet tourism has also been used by minority groups as a positive feature in the construction of their identity. This article examines the process which led to the political appropriation of a dissident tourism centered on a neo-shamanic experience in the highlands of the Mazatec Indians. How did the Indians integrate the touristic gaze in the construction of their imagined community – a construction which leans heavily on symbols which are at one and the same time rooted in vernacular customs and in the invention of a neo-indianism? What relation does this process of ethnogenesis have with the emergence, on a national level, of the new image of a living Indian beyond the archeological one?

Why is it worth reading Oppède, this almost unknown novel by Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry published in 1945 by Brentano's and by Gallimard in 1947 ? Firstly because under the guise of fiction, Consuelo enables the reader to relive the experience of the " Groupe d'Oppède ", young architects and artists who took refuge in the Lubéron after 1940. Secondly because this story, both light-hearted and serious, is peppered with self-derision and humour, which captivates the reader. Last but not least because there are echoes of Saint-Exupéry from the very first pages of this work.
