AbstractGrappling with the issue of ethnography caught between identity and alterity. the author sets the limits and refutes the assertions of the dominant scientific model of rationality. He argues in favour of the use of language in keeping with the nature of the phenomena under study and socio-cultural diversity, citing as an example the "writing" of Latin America. Translation is therefore considered as a model for internalizing that which originates on the outside, without removing the traces of distance and difference, for complete equivalence does not exist. Like an ethnographer, the translator is confronted with a primary referent, whereas literature, translation and ethnography are used as an experiment of limits, as ways of approaching the Other and as the methodical ahandonment of identity as sameness.

An analysis of the transgressive aspects of Frida Kahlo's paintings and Paquita la del Barrio's songs and of their personages is performed, in regard to social Reports/ratio of Kind such as it prevails in the Mexican society. In doing this, the authors hope to tackle the complexity of the existing relation between artistic production and symbolic legitimisation of women's genius and real-life experiences. By denunciating the suffering brought about by men's infidelity, by presenting maternity in its most gloomy aspects, and by tackling their own sexual desires, both artists express their personal rebellion against the sociocultural diktats of their time, and they do so using a new language full of images and words by which to name and to denounce feminine realities that, for a long time, were kept secret because viewed as too obscure.

AbstractTo the question of whether or not the school, or more precisely, school form as defined by historians and sociologists for several decades, can meet the demands of democratic socialization, this article answers no. But it also shows how it was tried in the past and how we could now put forms of transmission and organization in place that contribute to this type of socialization. The first part of this article makes new advances into developing the necessary concepts (forms of knowledge, forms of transmission, socialization,…) and at the same time in their relationship to common concepts and Durkheimien-type presuppositions. One of the objectives is to stop isolating problems from each other. Another is to define democratic socialization. A second part of the article presents or evokes some “pedagogical” experiences based on these ideas.

The author, who is also a stage director, reviews in this article three experiments in theatrical adaptation. While tension between text and stage is the rule in the theatre, it is enhanced by a revealing detour through the novel. The author believes he has found, in the three cases which he analyses, three states of adaptation: assimilation by the dramatic form or the full degree of adaptation (The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoïevski); the "bad adaptation", which comes from a crazy desire for fidelity (L'automne le plus nébuleux de Grisoeil by Musil); finally, the impossible adaptation or "loss of adaptability" (Lenz by Büchner). The author draws from these experiences some provisional certainties in connection with theatre practice.
