The commercial success of the Mercure galant and the financial support of the Dauphin enabled Jean Donneau de Visé to invest in the production of engravings as early as 1678. In addition to musical pieces, enigmas and other fashion plates, the royalist periodical collection includes five engravings illustrating battles in the Caribbean colonies. From this limited corpus, this article examines how the image works to ensure the continued existence of the reign and reflects on the place of engravings in the Mercure galant and on the Parisian print market in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

AbstractTaking into consideration the intangible cultural heritage holds a central position in the new challenges confronting today's various cultural communities. Françoise Lempereur briefly repositions globalization and cultural diversity and shows that, faced with these two basic guidelines, communities' reactions can be radically opposed: acceptance or refusal of the fusion and in the case of refusal, an essentialist or evolutionary approach. The latter sacrifices heritage for the benefit of trends, supported by new technologies; the first emphasizes the use of an idealised past in what the author identifies as a policy of “folklorisation”. Fortunately, some communities accomplish a positive combination and revitalize their heritage through new forms of communication. This is the case of the municipality of Clare in Nova Scotia, the flag-bearer of a growing Acadian identity.
