Le thème de ce colloque «Transculturations musicales méditerranéennes» est pluridisciplinaire. Il participe d'un débat actuel qui intéresse les chercheurs travaillant sur les échanges culturels des civilisations. Il ne concerne évidemment pas seulement la musique et pourrait s'adapter à toute activité humaine: art, religion, politique, économie, etc. Depuis quelques décennies, nous vivons une époque où l'accélération de l'histoire, à des degrés divers, pose des problèmes cruciaux aux sociétés contemporaines. Les récentes mutations sociales, technologiques et culturelles ont en effet déstabilisé, et parfois ébranlé, des communautés entières, de plus en plus résignées aux influences extérieures et aux développements de déculturation qui, généralement, les accompagnent. Quelques questions s'imposent. Les débordements migratoires et les autoroutes de l'information remettent-ils en cause les fondements de l'identité de chaque groupe au nom de l'intégration à une société nationale et mondiale pluriethnique et multiculturelle; cette assimilation mondiale est-elle la grande occasion de notre temps, qui permettra à chacun d'accéder à une perception plus équitable et plus bienveillante de l'autre, plus humaniste en somme. Le foisonnement des modèles et leur métissage ou leur fusion concourent-ils à l'enrichissement de chacun ou ne sont-ils qu'une juxtaposition d'identités sans passerelle les unes vers les autres?

The essays in Canadian Cultural Exchange / ?hanges culturels au Canada provide a nuanced view of Canadian transcultural experience. Rather than considering Canada as a bicultural dichotomy of colonizer/colonized, this book examines a field of many cultures and the creative interactions among them. This study discusses, from various perspectives, Canadian cultural space as being in process of continual translation of both the other and oneself.

Transculturation is a frequent point of reference in Latin American cultural studies, but overuse is tending to create a new critical orthodoxy, and inattention to precise definition may be compromising effectiveness. This article assesses current deployments of the term and, through a close reading of the theoretical section of Ortiz's Contrapunteo cubano, seeks to establish an understanding of what is involved in the cultural and human experience of transculturation. It concludes by examining recent critiques of the term and suggests a sceptical view of the potential for and limits on transculturation in the global context of Latin American cultures.

Willis reviews 'Transculturation and Resistance in Lusophone African Narrative' by Phyllis Peres.

This collection is a timely reflection on the momentous concept of transculturalism. With its historical roots in globalization, transculturation, oriented to (new) aesthetics, seeks new cultural formations, and, with its heterogeneous author- and readership, enlists active participation by the individual

This thesis applies the concept of transculturation to show how outside influences are transforming gendered relations and women's roles in an indigenous community. Christianity, capitalism, androcentrism, and feminism have driven processes of acculturation, deculturation and neoculturation in the lives of indigenous Amungme people. Field research was conducted in 2015 among the indigenous Amungme, who live in the Mimika regency of Papua, Indonesia. Interviews were conducted with 60 participants including indigenous Amungme, Papuan feminist activists, church leaders, and government officials. The customary marriage system of indigenous Amungme community was changed by western missionaries who arrived in the highlands of Papua in the 1950s. When the Freeport mining company arrived in the 1970s further changes in gender relations took place. Traditionally, marriage was decided by family negotiations and a bride-price was paid by the groom's family to the bride's family. This tradition has gradually been lost in a process of deculturation. Marriage is now based on individual preference, husbands' obligations are declining as desertion and divorce increasing. Polygamy has been reinvented in ways that leave many women in precarious situations. Indigenous Amungme women perceive these changes as strengthening patriarchal power so they act as feminist agents of transculturation who critique androcentric norms and values. Capitalism offers opportunities for some indigenous Amungme women who adapt to modern dreamworlds through acculturation and engagements with the corporate workplace. In spite of their economic independence, these working women are considered subordinate when it comes to decision making in the household and the community. Interestingly, some indigenous Amungme women are doing the creative work of neoculturation to create a better future for coming generations of indigenous Amungme. They promote modern health practices to make community lives safer and healthier and promote economic transculturation ...
