Kazakh ethnology is experiencing a deep crisis. Subject to politics since its inception, it has served first the administrative and expansionist projects of the Russian Empire and then the USSR's collectivisation-sedentarisation and folklorisation objectives. Field studies in the kolkhoze were organised and monitored by the scientific institution since the 30s and led to descriptive work on material culture and 'survivors'. Only historians have emerged from intense theoretical anthropological debates on the nature of Kazakh nomadism, but their diachronic analyses were not related to the present data. Kazakhstan's independence has not really allowed ethnology to renew its themes and to reform its methods. Affected by the dessertion of researchers and the disappearance of masters, discipline is causing a deterioration in the level of demands and a scarcity of work. The themes addressed are characterised by a desire to promote a lost tradition, with the tacit encouragement of a nationalist climate. This is irreconcilable with an assessment of the impact of the Soviet experience on Kazakh society. There is little work on recent fundamental changes in Kazakh society (pastoralism, lignager system). ; International audience Kazakh ethnology is experiencing a profound crisis. Subject to political control ever since its emergence, it first served the administrative and expansionist projects of the Russian Empire, then the aims of collectivisation-settling and " folklorisation " of the USSR. From the 1930s. field studies in the kolkhoz were organised and controlled by the scientific establishment and resulted in descriptive works on material culture and " survivals ". Only historians engaged in lively anthropological debates of a theoretical nature on the question of Kazakh nomadism, but their diachronic analyses were not related to contemporary data. The independence of Kazakhstan has not really enabled ethnology to renew its themes or to reform its methods. Deserted by researchers and also affected by the loss of older ...

Thus, since the Renaissance it has radically transformed the polysensory description of the inhabited world, the Perspective Representation has established the sovereign view of the city's observation until our time. However, some recent interdisciplinary work in the field of social anthropology, the history of the urban noise environment, in the field of urban planning, architecture and engineering science, is beginning to show that people's representation of their city, neighbourhood and habitat often depends on other sensitive priority perceptions (.). ; International audience ; Thus, since the Renaissance it has radically transformed the polysensory description of the inhabited world, the Perspective Representation has established the sovereign view of the city's observation until our time.

Pourtant, quelques travaux interdisciplinaires récents dans le domaine de l'anthropologie sociale, de l'histoire de l'environnement sonore urbain, dans le champ de l'urbanisme, de l'architecture et des sciences de l'ingénieur, commencent à montrer que la représentation que les habitants se font de leur ville, de leur quartier et de leur habitat, est souvent fonction d'autres perceptions sensibles prioritaires (.)

International audience In this article, I observe an ensemble for « contemporary music » interpreting 20th century works mostly composed by Western composers, but also by Chinese and Korean composers, in Tashkent (Uzbekistan). This observation offers a case study about musical globalisation. The small-scale ethnography allows me to examine historical, political and identity issues on a local level. This paper shows that the small group of Uzbek musicians interpreting foreign composers is not only importing music from abroad. Through their practice, their taste, and their engagement, they are demonstrating their agency in their musical projects. In doing this, they are constantly renegotiating their musical identity in dialogue with external references and influences. ; L'observation d'un ensemble de musique « contemporaine » qui interprète en Ouzbékistan un répertoire vingtiémiste en grande partie occidental, mais aussi chinois et coréen, ouvre une perspective privilégiée sur un phénomène de globalisation musicale. L'ethnographie à petite échelle permet d'observer les enjeux locaux aux niveaux politique, historique et identitaire de cette circulation de la musique. Il apparaît ainsi qu'Omnibus, ce petit groupe de musiciens d'Ouzbékistan qui interprète des compositeurs étrangers ne procède pas à une simple importation de musique étrangère. À travers leurs pratiques, leurs goûts, leur engagement pour former un public, ils sont pleinement acteurs de projets par lesquels ils renégocient en permanence une identité musicale en dialogue constant avec des références extérieures.

International audience Research Framework: In France and Belgium, since mid-1990, legislative provisions have tightened the conditions for concluding unions between a citizen and a non-European national and permitting the latter of stay. The suspicion of the immigration system, delineating a selective access to the nation by the construction of eminently normative forms of "making family", impact couples' intimacy.Objectives: This article examines the changes in binational couples' intimacy in the light of their encounters with the immigration system.Methodology: The empirical material comes from a multi-site ethnography conducted by collecting the life histories of the partners (foreign and national) of about one hundred couples—analyzed with the method of "biographical policies' evaluation"—and by participant observations within associative structures in French and Belgian cities.Results: Over the course of administrative formalities, the couples' privacy becomes "public" as they are invited to perform the "lovers" as the immigration system wishes. The resulting effect on the boundaries of their intimacy differs according to the permeability of the relationship to state interference. Different types of intimacy in adherence or in contrast with the state logic stands out, they are defined as "two-speed", "resilient", "in exchange" and "in splinters".Conclusions: The intimacies identified are the results of a "pact" between partners and the work that they have performed at the borders of the state encounters. In the wake of "intimate citizenship", such work articulates private decisions and public practices, and moral dilemma relating to "family life".Contributions: The article shows the interweaving of institutional boundaries, worked by public policies, and conjugal, worked by emotions, expectations and exchanges, thanks to the sociology of preformative and intimate practices. ; Cadre de la recherche : En France et en Belgique, depuis 2000, des dispositions législatives ont renforcé les conditions pour ...
