There is no doubt that the traditional strategies of development based on mass production model have failed to promote industrialization in Third World countries. However, this failure is not the sign of a lack of economic dynamism in that kind of countries. On the contrary, many “small scale industrialization systems” are currently expanding in some developing countries. These “small scale industrialization systems” are clusters of similar or complementary small enterprises concentrated geographically, which are involved with each other in complex relations of competition and cooperation. On the basis of an empirical case study- the El-Jem industry of fine leather craft (in Tunisia) - we show first that this original way of producing constitutes a possible alternative to the traditional strategies of development based on mass production model, and secondly that social and economic logic of “small scale industrialization system” is radically different from that of the standard model of development.

In France, the generation fed of Jap'Anime in the eighties became the first readership of Mangas during the nineties. Some of them have become in the last ten years Asian Drama fans. Digital technology and globalization allowed a worldwide organized community of drama fans, constructed on an effective division of collaborative work at a global scale. Cyber ethnography is made on a forum, observing the way South Korean romantic comedy dramas – still a mysterious cultural object for the French fans – are appropriated. As omnivorous consumers of heterogeneous cultural content as well as intercultural elites of globalizing world, the French drama fans, most of them females, are challenging the cultural hegemony of the American TV series. They claim autonomy in their emotions and cultural tastes against the patriarchal pressure and norms. The pursuit of a specifically female pleasure has a Queer reading potential. French female fans' reception of Asian drama can be understood in terms of a female counter-culture in a digital and global age.

Les rapports sociaux de sexe et la scolarité des enfants de parents migrants. Une étude exploratoire
More informationAlthough a number of studies have examined the educational achievements of immigrant children in France, they have generally been conducted by school specialists, focusing on social and gender-based inequality, with little interest in "ethnicization" processes, or immigration specialists, concentrating on social inequality and "ethnicization/racialization" in school, paying little attention to gender issues. This article proposes a dynamic, cross-sectional, interdisciplinary, comparative approach based on social origin and the social construction of categories according to gender, race and ethnic origin. This study reviews the literature on immigrant children and education produced in the social sciences. It includes an analytic assessment of women's contribution to the literature on immigration, reviews existing statistical data, and presents a recent exploratory field study.

Approaching the work of Rodolphe De Koninck, a geographer from Quebec whose career spans over five decades, must be done unpretentiously. Starting with his first major published work titled Les Cent-Îles du Lac Saint-Pierre (1970), there are countless ways to assess his contribution to geography. The objective of this article is to analyse the evolution of De Koninck's contribution to the understanding of agrarian transformations and modern state-building in Southeast Asia, but also, to examine his contribution in a universal manner. This article will show how De Koninck's research remains relevant in helping us to better understand modern issues such as how the on-going agrarian transition is a source of inequality, as well as a source of negative environmental impacts.
