CALL FOR PAPERS

L’Institut de Recherche et d’Etudes Supérieures du Tourisme (IREST), l’Équipe Interdisciplinaire de Recherche sur le Tourisme (EIREST) de l’Université Paris 1 Panthéon – Sorbonne organisent en juin 2010 un colloque international: PARIS, TOURISME et METROPOLISATION. Echelles, acteurs et pratiques du tourisme d’une “destination capitale”.

Du 24 au 26 juin 2010 PARIS, La Sorbonne Amphithéâtre Richelieu

Cette manifestation scientifique s’inscrit dans une grande actualité alors que l’agglomération parisienne interroge le devenir du Grand Paris.

Faisant l’hypothèse du tourisme et des loisirs comme accélérateur voir producteur de métropolisation, ce colloque a pour objectif d’explorer les relations entre le tourisme et la métropole parisienne. Il invite à revisiter la relation du tourisme à l’espace, l’économie et la société des territoires de Paris et de la métropole parisienne.

Les propositions sont à remettre avant le 18 janvier 2010.

BOOKS & JOURNALS

Ragazzi, Rossella Walking on Uneven Paths
The Transcultural Experience of Children entering Europe in the Years 2000
Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt am Main, New York, Oxford, Wien, 2009. XVIII, 222 pp., ISBN 978-3-0343-0042-1
Order online: www.peterlang.com

What can we learn from children traversing the liminal and transient time-space of migration? How do migrant children and their caretakers navigate
educational systems in Europe today? How is it to be captive in an inner city classroom? How do children’s body language and verbal dominant languages
interface? How does a child become mediator between their family and the educational institutions? This anthropologically grounded study, integrated by
ethnographic film excerpts and based on a culturally-reflexive approach to the use of media in the research practices, explores the transcultural
experience of migrant children between 6 and 13 years, by closely analysing the particular codes, rhythms and practices of educational systems in Ireland
and France. The children’s experiences are represented in both the film sequences and the written text, in the form of their personal, shared viewpoints
about cultural diversity, biographical accounts and social practices in the family and at school. These are experiences which they have worked through,
from a time preceding migration and to the present. The film captures the sensibilities of migrant children and invites the reader/viewer to embark on these
somewhat uneven paths.

Contents: Framing Migration and Childhood: An Anthropological Film Approach – The Intercultural Classroom in Paris – In the Migrant Family Home: The
Intergenerational Performance of Cultural Identity – The Agency of Migrant Children: Five Narratives.

The Author: Rossella Ragazzi (1965) is currently Research Fellow in Visual Culture Studies and Media applied to Anthropology at the University Museum
of Tromsø University, Norway. She is also a filmmaker and worked in Italy, France, Cameroon, Bolivia, Norway and Ireland.
