The majority of Western ethnological museums search for new approaches to the treatment of cultural diversity, not only in the Americas, as an outcome of extensive immigration producing a variety of cultures, but also in European nation-states, where museums in postcommunist countries concentrate on the study of a national culture. However this reductive, imposed dichotomy needs to be qualified to some extent. Most authors who discuss postcommunist countries fall into the reductive trap, since they hold on to the cold war attitude of observing such locations in terms of blocs and oppositions. The situation is actually more complex, since diverse practices and approaches can be found within and between countries and within and between their museum institutions. We will address this problem by using examples from Croatian ethnographic museums.

The issues involved in remembering slavery have taken on worldwide significance. This reflection deals with initiatives to heritagize the remembrance of slavery in Bordeaux (France) and Port-au-Prince (Haiti). It is based on an interpretation of the results from our 2013 fieldwork investigations in Bordeaux and Port-au-Prince, along with participant observations and archival research. Implied is the fact that the heritage of slavery remembered in Bordeaux represents a therapy for the moral stigmatization and contributes toward promoting “living better together” in a society which is undergoing, more and more, a process of creolization. In Port-au-Prince that heritage is, rather, one that speaks of victimization, protests and recognition; it is, in fact, at a crossroad between a desire to mourn over slavery and the affirmation of greatness on the part of the people of Haiti in order to understand their social environment.

AbstractThe acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a world wide health problem of exceptional magnitude with considerable effect in many areas : individual, social, economic, demographic and cultural. Current literature clearly indicates the emotional impact of the losses occasionnée by those suffering from this fatal disease. There include strong anxiety, fear, anger powerlessness and hopelessness. To this psychological distress is added isolation of AIDS victims. The negative reaction of society contributes to discrimination and stigmatization of these victims. AIDS may be seen as a personnal tragedy which often spells the collapse of family life. The psychosocial repercussions of this disease require intervention and further research with respect to the many unresolved problems generated by this syndrome.

In a context of the growth of the intangible economy, we see paradoxically the development of physical places promoting the cooperation of companies and workers. This includes third-places, coworking spaces, fab labs and physical spaces for the mutualization of infrastructures and services for the benefit of companies. Their creation is prompted by territorial collectivities seeking a renewal of their development policy and by clusters of companies. Our study is based on nine monographs of projects located in France and characterized by the implementation of a service offering (offices, access to infrastructure, computer equipment, common secretariat, spaces of conviviality) in a physical place for the benefit of companies and individuals.

This investigation of the relationship between the music of creation and spirituality is primarily a reflection set as a forum in seven voices, including remarks by the author. In the fall of 2010, seven musicians from different generations, practices and aesthetics agreed to answer by email the questions drawn up by Circuit's editorial board. The musicians were Sandeep Bhagwati, Frans Ben Callado, Julie-Anne Derome, Wolf Edwards, André Hamel, Nicolas-Alexandre Marcotte and Rodney Sharman. The questionnaire's lexical field, particularly polysemic (“spirituality”, “sacred”, “transcendence”, “absolute”), elicited a striking range of viewpoints. But certain constants stand out, notably the almost total absence of faith in the views held. Apparently, the practitioners of the music of creation, in tune with their times, defer to a “spirituality without God” as set forth in the philosophy of André Comte-Sponville.
