| Description: |
Une etude de l'impact et de l'influence de la mobilite sur les dynamiques culturelles au Canada et au Bresil. A study of the impact and influence of mobility on cultural dynamics in Canada and Brazil. |
| Synopsis: |
La mobilite - la capacite a se deplacer ou a etre deplace - est un element si omnipresent dans la vie moderne qu'elle est tenue pour acquise, presque imperceptible en raison de sa constante presence. Dans Mobilites culturelles - Cultural Mobilities, des chercheurs du Canada et du Bresil, ecrivant en anglais et en francais, s'interrogent sur l'impact et l'influence qu'a la mobilite sur les dynamiques culturelles au sein de leurs deux pays et entre eux. Explorant le mouvement - des gens, des idees et des creations culturelles - et les processus qui affectent ce mouvement, ils apportent de nouvelles perspectives sur la maniere dont la mobilite structure les conditions culturelles contemporaines. Intrinsequement interdisciplinaire, le volume s'appuie sur des contributions provenant entre autres des domaines de la geographie urbaine, des arts visuels, du cinema, de la litterature, de la danse et du journalisme, soulignant la mobilite comme un domaine important de la recherche universitaire. Aussi intrinsequement interculturel, il utilise une approche comparative Sud-Nord qui revele les points communs et les differences entre les contextes canadien et bresilien.Mobilites culturelles - Cultural Mobilities propose une methode pour l'etude de la mobilite en tant que force culturelle dans la societe contemporaine. Mobility - the ability to move or be moved - is such a ubiquitous element of modern life that it is taken for granted, almost unnoticeable because of its constant presence. In Mobilites culturelles - Cultural Mobilities, scholars from Canada and Brazil, writing in both English and French, consider the impact and influence of mobility on cultural dynamics within and between their countries. Exploring movement - of people, ideas and cultural creations - and the processes that affect this movement, they provide new insights into how mobility shapes contemporary cultural conditions. Intrinsically interdisciplinary, the volume includes contributions from the fields of urban geography, visual arts, film, literature, dance and journalism, among others, highlighting mobility as an important area of scholarly enquiry. Also intrinsically intercultural, it employs a South-North comparative approach that reveals the intersections and differences between the Canadian and Brazilian contexts.Mobilites culturelles - Cultural Mobilities charts a path for the study of mobility as a cultural force in contemporary society. |
