We report new experimental results obtained onthe insulating spin glass CdCrInS_4. Our experimental setup allows a quantitative comparison between thethermo-remanent magnetization and the autocorrelation of spontaneous fluctuations of magnetization, yielding acomplete determination of the fluctuation-dissipationrelation. The dynamics can be studied both in thequasi-equilibrium regime, where the fluctuation-dissipation theorem holds, and in the deeply aging regime. The limit of separation of time-scales, as used in analytical calculations, can be approached by use of a scaling procedure., Minor changes, accepted for publication in EPJ-B

Contribution presented by Eric Vincent in the Conference `Complex Behaviour of Glassy Systems', Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, June, 1996. It contains a review of the experimental results on Slow dynamics and aging in spin-glasses. It also presents their comparison with recent theoretical developments in the description of the out of equilibrium dynamics of disordered systems; namely, the trap model and the mean-field theory., 35 pages, 12 figures, macro lmamult.sty (included)
