Circulations

The dynamics of globalization are investigated from the perspective of the circulation of people, practices, aesthetics as well as artefacts, knowledge and norms. The aim is to observe what these different types of circulation have in common, or what specificities they bear, what their  temporalities they develop and in which institutional arrangements they are inscribed and how actors’ strategies (re)configure them within the larger context of contemporary changes. The analysis is focused on the complexity of the configurations generated by the confrontation of different, and sometimes contradictory codes, standards and models; on the interlocking belongings, representations and universes, at different scales; on the various modalities of articulations between territories, flows and networks, particularly in relation to the appropriation of new technologies by actors.
