This article presents an exhibition project, developed from research work, based on a transmedia perspective, developed in 2011, and focuses on social and gender inequalities in schools. Here we will evoke the logic of scientific mediation, which structures it (valorization of museum funds, reference to research, educational support), the journey of this exhibition, made up of several narrative elements, and contributions for the public.

Visual literacy is a new concept that enriches the one better known as multimodal media literacy. At a time when Internet overwhelms various public images of all kinds, it is appropriate to consider how school can contribute to visual literacy's development, making the user both active and critical. This article examines the nature of images and their reading in order to better define this new visual literacy, which owes much, among others, to the multiliteracies' current. It also discusses the relevance of visual literacy at school, and analyzes some examples of inspiring projects in the field.

Switzerland is known to praise values such as wealth, peace, security... Although unemployment has remained very low over the years, rebellious youth movements have begun to emerge. This may be explained by an analysis of conflictual values and ideologies as reflected in work.

The first objective of this study was to determine the strength of the association between three anxiety disorders (specific phobias, separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder) and major depressive disorder, evaluated by the Dominic Interactive. The second objective was to examine if this association varies according to two developmental indicators defined by age group (6-8 years and 9-11 years) and sex (girl or boy). This study was conducted using a data-base obtained from previous studies on the psychometric properties of the Dominic Interactive. The sample consisted of 453 children, 6 to 11 years-old, from the general population of the Montreal urban area (n = 228 girls; n = 225 boys). The results indicated that the strength of association between the three anxiety disorders and depression was very strong. The logistic regression analyses revealed that in the sample included in this study, comorbidity between anxiety and depression did not vary significantly according to the age group or sex of the children. These results therefore confirm the importance of the comorbidity generally observed among children. Yet, the strong association between anxiety disorders and depression, independent of age and sex, is a matter of serious concern. The simultaneous presence of a number of internalizing disorders may have major consequences for children's psychological development and result in an aggravation of the psychopathology. The results of this study support the need for early screening of mental health problems to prevent severe disorders.

Although waste issues do not dominate environmental, political and social discourses in New Caledonia, waste management has profoundly changed within the past fifteen years due to, amongst other factors, increases in production and consumption. These transformations are taking place within a "modernization" framework, which aims to rationalize waste under a model largely inspired by France. Our paper shows that this rationalization takes the form of institutional, infrastructural and behavioral normalization, and that it responds to imperatives that prioritize sanitation, environmental protection and the circular economy. The introduction of recycling reveals the assumptions inherent in this (ongoing colonial) emphasis on modernization. We examine several cases relating to the recycling economy to illustrate how the reality of the waste streams are determined by the specific physical, economic and institutional geography of the New Caledonian island. The analysis offers a critical look at the modernization models in the field of waste and their replication indifferently to contexts. We argue that the indifference of initiatives to modernize New Caledonia's waste management system according to French colonial assumptions is resulting in the uneven and complex implementation of modern waste management systems.

Collaborative graphic ethnography can generate new ways of identifying, materializing, and documenting political possibility in what otherwise seems like an overdetermined world, and in doing so, offers a model for practicing anthropology differently. We come to these insights through our work in the embattled Bosnian detergent factory “Dita,” located on the outskirts of the post-industrial city of Tuzla, whose workers scored an unprecedented victory when they managed to preserve their factory and restart production despite the threat of bankruptcy and liquidation. In researching and telling the story of their struggle and victory through this innovative format, we build upon the historical popularity of comics in former Yugoslavia, as well as contemporary experimentation with the form among anti-corruption activists in Bosnia-Herzegovina. We explore ethnographic and political affordances of sequential art and the graphic form for an engaged or activist anthropology, including its capacity to visualize and materialize the immaterial and overlooked aspects of politics, mitigate anthropology's extractivist tendencies, enlist the imagination and participation of readers in directions both hoped for and unanticipated, and engage and animate multiple local and international publics.

Das Wort aus Stein by Kurt Rupli is more than science-fiction movie. This medium-length film produced by the german UFA in 1939 is the expression of excessive architectural projects using movie techniques to give reality to the nazi technocratic ideology. Das Wort aus Stein shows the new Germany as it represented itself before it was levelled to the ground by the enemy bombardments which already threaten it at the time of the film-making. An avalanche of stones, omen of the forthcoming disaster, is used as a generic to the post-apocalyptic projects of Hitler. Through the analysis of some movie passages, stills of the shooting, architectural models and articles of this period, this research develops the Apocalypse in which the Nazi plans involve Europe, the Jewish people and finally Germany itself.
