This article analyses the educational impasse potentially posed by the confrontation between a present in crisis and a past narrated as a victorious conquest of the principles of modernity (progress, development, freedom). Posed as contemporary values to be defended rather than as contextualised ideas and choices, these principles script the school narrative of a harmonious link between socio-political freedom and industrial economic growth, even if it means locking students into a present that is dysfunctional but cannot be called into question. Based on a reflection centred on the school narrative of the Industrial Revolution in high school, this article puts the concept of 'presentism' to the test of the prescribed curriculum in order to shed light on the aporias of this type of history teaching in a crisis context. This critical analysis is then the opportunity to propose some didactic tracks based on contemporary epistemological reflections and on recent historiographic renewals in order to transform the fatalistic narration of the crisis into a problem setting allowing to weave echoes of intelligibility between past, present and future.

What allows the performer access to his / her interdisciplinarity? The body – in its globality, with its emotions, its sensations, what is imposed on it, what it provokes – is central to my experience as a performer of interdisciplinary creation. The path towards the unknown – a fundamental characteristic of working between-the-disciplines – is lived and explored by the totality of my corporeal person, well beyond my discipline of training, dance. Through the prism of this corporeality, Guattari's notion of chaosmose and Deleuze's becoming (devenir), I will look at the interdisciplinarity of the performer and the agency that he / she exercises in the interdisciplinary creative process.

AbstractFor a long time related to the birth of the Humanities and deeply neglected for the past twenty years, the issue of the institutionalization of the subjects requires re-consideration in light of the changes in the university system and in research. The study of the genesis, the functioning and the relationship of the French University with its environment gives rise to an understanding of the conditions of knowledge legitimization. The examination of various historical examples leads to an explanation of the processes under scrutiny through the actions of the players, their strategy and their legitimacy rather than institutional functioning. While discussing the current reform of the university and the work on the new knowledge production mode, this perspective is extended to the analysis of the main crossover dimensions of intellectual legitimacy : ideological and social factors attitude of the knowledge holders and role of the media.

This paper presents some results of an interdisciplinary research programme located on the northwest coast of New Caledonia from 2008 to 2011. This area faces rapid and significant urban and economic changes induced by an on-going major mining complex that is rooted within current political issues of the New Caledonian decolonisation process. An adaptive framework was set up to improve the knowledge on the coastal social ecological system and to better manage the uses of marine resources, including small-scale fisheries. This framework combined three complementary approaches : operational research (based on three interviewing surveys of local stakeholders), interdisciplinary studies (biological, social and law sciences) and partnership between research and development agencies. Results show that the main management challenges of the coastal uses are strongly embedded to cope with environmental, social, cultural as well as economic issues. All conditions for successful participative management are not currently met at the study area scale. However our study paves the way for action to promote initiatives of shared governance over the coastal area, building on existing or emerging local initiatives, and possibly scaling them up in the future. Directions for policy making are also suggested including territory approaches to local development.

In this article, we present the results of a comparative analysis of some documents published by various organisms involved in the curricular reform that is undergoing in Québec.We also present the results of some enquieries done with various samples of Québec’s elementary teachers. We analyse various concepts or constructs (subject matter; discipline; basic or secondary subject matters; knowledge) following their impact on the epistemological foundations of the curriculum or the teaching processes. We finish our analysis by questionning the coherence between a constructivist discourse and the basic concepts who forms the ministry’s discourse foundations that relates directly to a neobehaviourist stance.
