De la machine de la fête baroque à la performance urbaine : éphémère éternel by Alessandra Cirafici

“…However, starting from a study of the significance that the macchina della festa barocca had on the urban development of the city, in defining the collective spaces and on the founding of the idea of the piazza, it will be possible to consider in a more general sense the power of renewal and persuasion that the provisional is capable of promoting in the life of cities over time, as well as on the role that the ephemeral, intended as an anthropological category, has had and continues to have on the development and definition of the concept of an urban space that is defined and measured through its rituals of use, its performances, the deep sense of wonder, amazement and participation that the ephemeral brings with it.…”

Construction géopolitique pour le développement durable d'une enclave métropolitaine du MERCOSUR by Diana Arellano, Carla Cossi

“…The work proposes a diachronic analysis of the advances and setbacks in the geopolitical construction of the Binational Metropolitan Area, which makes up the cities of Posadas, Garupá and Candelaria (belonging to the province of Misiones, in Argentina) and Encarnación, Cambyretá and San Juan del Paraná (belonging to the Itapúa department, in Paraguay) as a subnational cross-border urban enclave of Mercosur. From an anthropological perspective, we seek to advance a characterization of the explanations that support the persistent vocation for integration in this metaphorically kaleidoscopic territoriality; understanding the particular reality of these border cities, which due to their geographical and urban contiguity were grouped into a study unit, which combines multiple local practices, which mix, overlap, oppose, contradict and exclude each other, beyond the state political limits that divide them. …”

Looking back at the parcoursArianna in the Val d'Anniviers by Thierry Amrein

“…The afore-mentioned objectives should have been attained thanks to the creation and deployment of an original “specifically feminine” micro-entrepreneurship within a local economic fabric essentially turned towards tourism.Starting from the results of a long-lasting anthropological field in the framework of this course of training, which also highlights the growing diversity of the populations in the Swiss alpine valleys, I question the fact that the initiators of this type of project implicitly make the women alone bear the responsibility and the charge of the new social dynamics which they attempt to initiate, without seriously taking into account the local norms of the sexual division of the tasks within the domestic sphere.…”
