Sciences et Culture: Pour une Approche Communicationnelle
Les trente dernie`res anne'es ont vu se construire un champ de 
recherches sur les cultures des sciences. Diffe'rentes disciplines s'en 
sont empare'es avec leurs proble'matiques, leurs concepts et leurs 
me'thodologies (Sociologie, Sciences de l'Information et de la 
Communication, Sciences de l'E'ducation). Les recherches conduites 
pre'sentent un rapport tre`s particulier avec les actions et les 
pratiques de me'diation. Ces actions elles-me^mes, ba^ties dans des 
domaines artistiques et culturels varie's, ne'cessitent des 
investigations pluridisciplinaires. Les dispositifs se re'pondent 
e'galement d'un me'dia a` l'autre, d'un dispositif culturel a` l'autre.
Cette diversite', ces recherches, ces approches conduisent a` l'abandon 
du mode`le ? top-down ? qui dominait l'interpre'tation de la relation 
entre les sciences et la socie'te' au profit d'une approche 
communicationnelle en termes de sens, d'e'changes, de temporalite', de 
re'ciprocite' et de dynamique des savoirs.
Bionote: Daniel RAICHVARG, Professeur en Sciences de l'Information et de 
la Communication a` l'Universite' de Bourgogne, a suivi un cursus 
universitaire classique qui l'a mene' a` la carrie`re de Professeur de 
Biologie en colle`ge. Tre`s to^t, il s'est tourne' vers la Philosophie 
et l'Histoire des Sciences, ouverture qui l'a conduit a` une Histoire de 
la Biologie puis a` la responsabilite' de se'minaires au Colle`ge 
International de Philosophie.
ALAIN CHENEVEZ
LA LABELLISATION PATRIMONIALE DU PATRIMOINE URBAIN ORDINAIRE:
LES HABITATIONS A LOYER MODERE
Depuis une de'cennie, la question de la constitution d'un ?patrimoine 
contemporain? est pose'e, selon deux aspects: d'une part, a` travers des 
conflits opposant de'fenseurs du patrimoine et gestionnaires de 
logements sociaux et certains ont e'te' largement me'diatise's comme a` 
Villetaneuse en re'gion parisienne (Cite' Renaudie) ou Pantin (Serpentin 
d'Emile Aillaud), d'autre part, a` travers l'intervention d'entreprises 
de valorisation, dont certaines distingue'es ou re'compense'es: projets 
?Me'moires d'habitants?, dispositif de protection de sites 
emble'matiques (Re'seau des Utopies re'alise'es en Re'gion Urbaine de 
Lyon), interventions d'artistes dans l'espace pour souligner une 
histoire singulie`re (Lyon,8e art). L'originalite' des processus de 
patrimonialisation cite's est double: ce sont des objets patrimoniaux 
contemporains et a priori ou ?traditionnellement? de'nue's d'enjeu de 
conservation, comme les cite's ?Habitation a` Loyer Mode're', les 
acteurs mobilise's dans ces processus de sauvegarde patrimoniale sont 
issus du monde associatif et sont tre`s souvent des repre'sentants de la 
? diversite' culturelle?. Ces questions ont e'te' actuellement peu 
traite'es par les actions, les e'tudes et les recherches. La pre'sente 
communication cherchera a` mettre en place une prise en compte par les 
institutions patrimoniales de cette double originalite': comment les 
institutions patrimoniales prennent en compte des processus de 
patrimonialisation ?d'objets contemporains?? quelles interactions et 
quels enjeux se construisent entre ces acteurs patrimoniaux inattendus, 
a priori ?ille'gitimes?, relevant d'une forte diversite' culturelle 
autour d'objets patrimoniaux contemporains, originaux?

l'Universite' de Bourgogne. Il est Responsable du M2 Inge'nierie des

MYNA GERMAN & PADMINI BANERJEE
Studying the Intersection of Global Migration, Technology and 
Transculturation in the 21st Century: A Conceptual Framework
One of the ongoing challenges confronting researchers studying issues 
related to the impact of new technologies on migration and 
transculturation is that of attempting to clarify appropriate and stable 
guiding constructs within a field in rapid motion. With the scale of 
human migration having expanded significantly, the internal experience 
of migration too has changed through the introduction of new 
informational and communication technologies (ICTs) that make it 
possible to transcend time and space as never before. The authors define 
new parameters and constructs within this emergent interdisciplinary area.
Bionote: MYNA GERMAN, Ph.D, is Chair of the Department of Communications 
at Delaware State University. She completed her doctorate at the 
University of South Africa, with a specialization in Religion and Media. 
She holds a MBA Degree from New York University, M.S. Communications 
from Boston University, M.Ed., Antioch College, B.A. American Studies, 
Brandeis University. She worked as a newspaper reporter and broadcast 
journalist, prior to a career in academe. At Dow Jones News Service, she 
was one of the first journalists to write for a teletext business online 
service, prior to the Internet and heavy computerization of the news 
business.
PADMINI (NINA) BANERJEE, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the 
Department of Psychology at Delaware State University in Dover, 
Delaware, USA. She received her PhD in Human Development from The 
Pennsylvania State University and her Master's and Bachelor's Honors 
degrees from University of Delhi, New Delhi, India. She has conducted 
research for United Nations' UNICEF and UNESCO as well as federal and 
state agencies in India and the US, and consults with non-profits in 
applied research and program evaluation. Her main academic and research 
interests lie in the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural study of 
individual identity ("amalgamated identities") in the context of 
migration and its implications for diaspora mental health; she is 
especially interested in the role played by recent and emerging 
technologies in the everyday lives of people in diasporas.
