Les bifurcations culturelles du road movie contemporain

L’article examine sous l’angle de l’interculturalité le renouvellement cinématographique du road movie au tournant du xxie siècle. La cohérence que le terme et l’idée de culture confèrent à une reconfiguration de ce genre filmique réside dans les tensions dont se saisissent des films contemporains faisant appel à l’imaginaire de la route pour mettre en rapport enjeux identitaires et appartenance culturelle. L’interculturalité ne se résume donc pas à une simple unité thématique qui reprendrait en écho le discours aujourd’hui dominant du contact et de la diversité culturels. S’appuyant sur une filmographie pour l’essentiel sud-américaine, nord-américaine et européenne, l’étude privilégie trois axes de réflexion, qui isolent chacun une acception distincte du concept de culture et, partant, délimitent une dimension particulière de l’interculturel. Disponibilisation contrariée, asymétrie et opacité relaient ainsi une analyse situant la dimension interculturelle du road movie contemporain au-delà d’une simple interculturalité de figuration.This article examines the resurgence of the road movie at the turn of the twenty-first century from an intercultural perspective. The coherence that the term culture and the idea of culture confer upon the reconfiguration of this film genre resides in the tensions that these contemporary films employ in their appeal to our collective imagination of the road, bringing into play questions of identity and cultural belonging. Interculturality can thus not be reduced to a mere thematic unity reflecting today’s dominant discourse of cultural contact and diversity. In its discussion of an essentially South American, North American and European body of work, this article sets out three avenues of approach, each one isolating a distinct acceptation of the concept of culture and delineating a specific aspect of the intercultural. By focusing on the ambiguity of cultural disembedding, on asymmetrical dynamics and on the issue of opacity, the analysis locates the intercultural dimension of contemporary road movies beyond the mimetics of representation

Transfert

The book has three axes of reflection on the concept of transference. In the first part of the volume, Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink evokes contemporary changes that increase intercultural communications. Walter Moser examines the history of concepts and explores the possibility of "cultural transfer" an instrument that would account for the great cultural mobility that we see today worldwide. Pierre Lévy gives this conceptual exploration highest amplitude by moving it to the general area of information transfer. The second part, "The transfer and knowledge", occupies the bulk of the work. Daniel Simeoni explores translation studies documenting the parallelism of translation and transfer concepts. In psychoanalysis, both as a site that as a practice, the transfer has a long conceptual history; Ellen Corin yet open dialogue with other disciplines and knowledge and raises the possibility of laterally moving the achievements of his thinking to the field of anthropology. In criminal law, Alvaro Pires explores theoretical and methodological issues of transfer, supporting his words with examples. Nicolas Goyer distinguishes between "family transfer" and "migration transfer" to illustrate the need to challenge the priority that has long given the intergenerational transfer. The third part explores the overlapping of transfers and the media. Timothy Murray explores the 'new media art', where the political intersect, the médiaticotechnologique, psychoanalytic and intercultural. Wolfgang Ernst questioned the "transfer" the confluence of ethnology, ethnography, museology, history and cultural analysis, compared to the theory and history of the media

Status and Trends of Physical Activity Surveillance, Policy, and Research in 164 Countries: Findings From the Global Observatory for Physical Activity—GoPA! 2015 and 2020 Surveys

Background: Physical activity (PA) surveillance, policy, and research efforts need to be periodically appraised to gain insight into national and global capacities for PA promotion. The aim of this paper was to assess the status and trends in PA surveillance, policy, and research in 164 countries. Methods: We used data from the Global Observatory for Physical Activity (GoPA!) 2015 and 2020 surveys. Comprehensive searches were performed for each country to determine the level of development of their PA surveillance, policy, and research, and the findings were verified by the GoPA! Country Contacts. Trends were analyzed based on the data available for both survey years. Results: The global 5-year progress in all 3 indicators was modest, with most countries either improving or staying at the same level. PA surveillance, policy, and research improved or remained at a high level in 48.1%, 40.6%, and 42.1% of the countries, respectively. PA surveillance, policy, and research scores decreased or remained at a low level in 8.3%, 15.8%, and 28.6% of the countries, respectively. The highest capacity for PA promotion was found in Europe, the lowest in Africa and low- and lower-middle-income countries. Although a large percentage of the world’s population benefit from at least some PA policy, surveillance, and research efforts in their countries, 49.6 million people are without PA surveillance, 629.4 million people are without PA policy, and 108.7 million live in countries without any PA research output. A total of 6.3 billion people or 88.2% of the world’s population live in countries where PA promotion capacity should be significantly improved. Conclusion: Despite PA is essential for health, there are large inequalities between countries and world regions in their capacity to promote PA. Coordinated efforts are needed to reduce the inequalities and improve the global capacity for PA promotion

Souci narratif et enjeux de mobilité : le récit de société à l’épreuve du reportage littéraire

This paper focuses on the representation of mobility and self-reflexivity in French literary journalism. It aims to articulate how these two sets of issues central to contemporary sociology shift social narratives in this sub-genre of non-fiction writing. The analysis compares to this end the literary reportage Le Quai de Ouistreham penned by French journalist Florence Aubenas (2010) and Jean Rolin’s Terminal Frigo (2005)

Transfert : Exploration d’un champ conceptuel

L’ouvrage propose trois axes de réflexion sur le concept de transfert. Dans la première partie du volume, Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink évoque les changements contemporains qui augmentent les communications interculturelles. Walter Moser examine l’histoire des concepts et explore la possibilité de faire du « transfert culturel » un instrument qui permettrait de rendre compte de la grande mobilité culturelle que nous observons de nos jours à l’échelle mondiale. Pierre Lévy donne à cette exploration conceptuelle la plus grande amplitude en la déplaçant vers le domaine général du transfert des informations. La deuxième partie, « Le transfert et les savoirs », occupe le gros de l’ouvrage. Daniel Simeoni y explore la traductologie en documentant le parallélisme des concepts de traduction et de transfert. Dans la psychanalyse, tant comme site du savoir que comme pratique, le transfert a une longue histoire conceptuelle; Ellen Corin ouvre pourtant le dialogue à d’autres savoirs et disciplines et évoque la possibilité de déplacer latéralement les acquis de sa réflexion vers le domaine de l’anthropologie. En matière de droit criminel, Alvaro Pires explore des questions théoriques et méthodologiques du transfert, étayant ses propos d’exemples. Nicolas Goyer fait la distinction entre le « transfert généalogique » et le « transfert migratoire » pour illustrer la nécessité de contester la priorité qu’on a longtemps accordée au transfert intergénérationnel. La troisième partie explore l’imbrication des transferts et des médias. Timothy Murray explore le new media art, où se croisent le politique, le médiaticotechnologique, le psychanalytique et l’interculturel. Wolfgang Ernst s’interroge sur le « transfert » au confluent de l’ethnologie, l’ethnographie, la muséologie, l’histoire et l’analyse des cultures, en regard de la théorie et de l’histoire des médias

Amériques transculturelles/ Transcultural Americas

Le transculturalisme constitue une nouvelle façon de concevoir les cultures, c'est-à-dire non plus comme des îlots distincts, mais plutôt comme des réseaux interactifs. Des identités transculturelles abondent particulièrement dans les Amériques, par exemple les Chicanos, les Franco-Ontariens, les Créoles et les immigrants de deuxième et de troisième génération. Amériques transculturelles se penche sur ces identités qui se construisent au carrefour de la similitude et de la différence.Transculturalism is a new way of viewing culture that sees cultures not as separate islands, but as connected and interacting webs. The Americas in particular offer many examples of transcultural identities: Chicanos, Franco-Ontarians, Creoles, and second and third generation immigrants. Transcultural Americas explores these identities which create themselves in a space between sameness and difference
