Villes en traduction. Calcutta, Trieste, Barcelone et Montréal
multilinguisme, tensions linguistiques, Calcutta, Trieste, Barcelone, Montréal, interactions, traduction, lagues, langages, imaginaire
Toutes les villes sont multilingues, mais pour certaines, les tensions linguistiques revêtent une importance particulière. Pourtant, malgré la menace constante de conflits, des villes comme Calcutta, Trieste, Barcelone et Montréal offrent des milieux riches d’interactions, souvent très créatifs. Dans l’espace physique comme dans la production artistique et littéraire, ces lieux sont traversés par les forces vives de la traduction. En prêtant une oreille attentive aux rencontres entre les langues dans l’espace citadin, Sherry Simon montre comment celles-ci façonnent l’imaginaire et contribuent à une citoyenneté partagée.
Sherry Simon est professeure au Département d’études françaises de l’Université Concordia. Elle est l’auteure notamment de Traverser Montréal. Une histoire culturelle par la traduction (2008).

<div>This lecture was part of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.history.ac.uk/aac2009">Anglo-American Conference of historians 2009</a>, on the theme 'cities'.</div> <br /> <b>Conference description by the organisers :</b></div> <br /> The conference will deal with cities throughout the world, with papers examining the networks of cities and their role in cultural formation, the relations between cities, territories and larger political units, the ideologies and cosmologies of the city and what distinguishes the city or town from other forms of settlement or ways of life.</div> </div> 2010 paper of the same name</a> (a revised version of this lecture) :</b></div> </div> This article addresses a methodological problem of urban history faced with the current environmental crisis that urges us to think of humans as ‘geological’ agents. It suggests that the concept of the uncanny that pushes our understanding of spatio-temporality may be a useful device for approaching the methodological need to reconcile what we can and cannot experience/visualize. Viewing the mapping projects around Calcutta in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through the lens of the uncanny offers us the possibility of such a reconciliation. It enables us to see the landscape as a product of multiple spatio-temporal modes, and loosens the grip of the current urban vocabulary on our imagination of cities.</div> </div> <b>Swati Chattopadhyay </b>is Associate Professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture, UC Santa Barbara.</div> <br /> NB : This recording may be streamed via your web browser or opened in iTunes.</div> </div> See also recordings of the other conference sessions:</div> Ideas of the metropolis</a></div> What is a city?

Cities in translation: Intersections of language and memory
Calcutta, Kolkata, Trieste, Barcelona, Barcelone, Montreal, Montréal, langue, language, multilingualism, multilinguisme, conflit urbain, urbanité, culture urbaine, Simon Sherry
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher:</b></div> </div> All cities are multilingual, but there are some where language relations have a special importance. These are cities where more than one historically rooted language community lays claim to the territory of the city. This book focuses on four such linguistically divided cities: Calcutta, Trieste, Barcelona, and Montreal.<br /> <br /> Though living with the ever-present threat of conflict, these cities offer the possibility of creative interaction across competing languages and this book examines the dynamics of translation in its many forms. By focusing on a category of cities which has received little attention, this study contributes to our understanding of the kinds of language relations that sustain the diversity of urban life.<br /> <br /> Illustrated with photos and maps, Cities in Translation is both an engaging read for a wide-ranging audience and an important text in advancing theory and methodology in translation studies.</div> </div> <b>Sherry Simon </b>is a Professor in the Département d'études françaises at Concordia University.</div> </div>

La complexité culturelle : études de l’organisation sociale de la signification
complexité culturelle, culture, interactions sociales, organisation sociale, anthropologie urbaine, dynamiques micro-culturelles, production culturelle, interactions mondiales, Vienne, Calcutta, San Francisco, Hannerz Ulf
<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
La complexité culturelle constitue une tentative de parvenir à la compréhension de la culture par une voie consistant à ouvrir le concept, à le rendre processuel et flexible en terme d’échelle plutôt que statique ; et à tenir les barrières culturelles pour relatives, problématiques et, par conséquent, objets d’investigation plutôt qu’absolues et simplement déjà données. Ulf Hannerz propose ici des outils conceptuels et méthodologiques pour une approche anthropologique de la complexité culturelle contemporaine, plus précisément pour une macro-anthropologie d’inspiration interactionniste attentive autant au flux culturel mondial et à ses implications sur les processus de significations qu’à la culturalité d’interactions socialement situées.</div>
</div>
Loin de s’en tenir à l’image récurrente de l’individu seul face à la mondialisation de la culture, <i>La complexité culturelle</i> accorde une large place aux approches des cadres de distribution culturelle (formes de vie, Etats, marchés, mouvements), à des aperçus d’économie politique de la culture qui soulignent les contraintes canalisant un flux loin d’être libre, à l’exploration des lignes de tension entre sens commun, connaissances spécialisées et discours critique. Des analyses de dynamiques micro-culturelles éclairent le rôle particulier des villes comme centres de production culturelle. Une conception distributive de la culture, socialement ancrée, oriente l’ensemble de ces considérations que la seconde partie de l’ouvrage met en oeuvre en procédant à l’étude de cas de laboratoires urbains de production culturelle (Vienne, Calcutta, San Fancisco à certains moments de leur histoire), ainsi qu’à l’étude de formes contemporaines de créolisation culturelle dans le contexte des interactions mondiales.</div>

Soul city: Seminar (no. 559)
Calcutta, Kolkata, culture urbaine, urbanité, politique de la ville, film
<div><b>Extract from the introduction 'The Problem':</b></div>
</div>
The challenge before the city and its political masters is to build on its welcoming and accommodating character, retain its universal concerns without sacrificing its regional specificity and still exude hope. After long years of decline, Calcutta today shows the promise of becoming a vibrant regional hub attracting the enterprising for the opportunities it offers. This issue of Seminar celebrates the many, often contradictory features of this sprawling, complex and multi- layered city – a unique megalopolis that refuses to give up or barter away its soul.

Rethinking urban democracy in South Asia. South Asia multidisciplinary academic journal (No. 5)
South Asia, Asie du Sud, démocratie, mouvement social, participation, politique de la ville, ségrégation urbaine, Kolkata, Calcutta, Mumbai, Bombay, Karachi, Ahmedabad, Tawa Lama-Rewal Stéphanie, Zérah Marie-Hélène
<div><b>Extract from the Editorial by Tawa Lama-Rewal and Zérah:</b></div>
</div>
This special issue considers together (i) the role of democracy (or lack of it) in the city (Ramaswamy, Heuzé, Ahmad); (ii) the redeployment of urban politics along with economic restructuring (Rajagopal); and (iii) the role of the city in democracy (Gazdar & Mallah)—which suggests that the three dimensions of urban democracy are not mutually exclusive but on the contrary overlap and reinforce each other. The five papers in this issue focus on four South Asian cities—Karachi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Ahmedabad—while the book review adds elements about Delhi. These papers contribute to afore mentioned debates and bring original perspectives on urban democracy, on three major points.</div>
