An interview with Clément Schneider is presented. Topics include talks about the choice of location for A Violent Desire for Happiness; and examines to propose a history of the French Revolution outside its usual places and landscapes and to make a film in a mountainous hinterland as the majority of the stories take place in Paris, or at least in an urban environment.

The ethnographic survey that I conducted between 2006 and 2015 with family groups from various socioeconomic backgrounds in Santiago revealed the importance of relationships of residential kinship in urban areas, through the formation of "configuration of houses". By criticizing the dominant approach centered on objective measures, I question the patterns of residential circulations within such configurations as they are interpreted and mean from the native point of view. By analyzing two ethnographic cases, I show that daily circulations between houses is not just "facts" resulting from practical problems or demographic, economic or urban conditions. From a native point of view, the direction, frequency and modalities of residential movements are "gestures" that activate a language of intersubjective recognition, by configuring more symmetrical or more asymmetrical forms of interdependence between houses.

Il existe des violences tacites qui passent inaperçues ou qu’on n’appréhende pas aisément en tant que telles parce qu’elles se dissimulent dans les rouages de la modernité, dans les rapports de pouvoirs, sous la tolérance, sous la soumission... Cette recherche d’anthropologie urbaine examine le cas de violence exercée par l’habillement féminin hard dans la quotidienneté de la vie à Kinshasa laquelle se manifeste sous forme de harcèlerie. La genèse de ce phénomène remonte à l’époque coloniale durant laquelle la rencontre des cultures occidentale et africaine a fendillé le socle des traditions négro-africaines qui régissaient les connectivités culturelles notamment celles qui étaient établies entre « femme et sexualité », « femme et société » entre les sexes « masculin et féminin », entre générations d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, et entre les groupes sexuellement divisés. L’habillement féminin hard s’aperçoit à la fois comme une déviance culturelle, un écart de normes d’éthique, et contrairement, comme un signe de croissance de l’érotisme dans l’art vestimentaire et comme une libre expression de la féminitude. Il révèle des contradictions de goûts et d’interprétations, des conflits de générations, des chocs de cultures lesquels aboutissent à une sexualité dominante ou imposée de la « femme-éros » qui d’une part, satisfait plusieurs esprits, mais d’autre part, dérange des consciences, irrite des libidos, déséquilibre des rapports sociaux anciens, propose des nouvelles reconstructions sociales, marche à l’avant-garde de la liberté de la femme et qui par son esthétique, rappelle la femme primitive...

In Ouagadougou, the thickening of the central areas is accompanied by a space strong growth. This increase in the built surfaces is done in a concentric way, the new not-structured districts developing in periphery. In these districts, waste management is summarized with the whole of the activities of pre-collection, collection, evacuation or transport, valorization and elimination of those. The households in a systematic way make of it an use always calculated and reflected in space and time. It is use which leads to the storage of waste in the spaces booked with the domestic life. The report of the households to solid waste rests primarily on the idea according to which, those always have an immediate or remote unspecified utility. In a descriptive approach inspired of the microsociology are presented on the one hand a typology of the solid waste produced by the households, of suitable spaces and on the other hand, own logics which justify the ways of waste within living environments in urban environment.

In 2014, the City of Geneva unveiled Frankie a.k.a. The Creature of Doctor Frankenstein in a large square in the city center. This bronze sculpture - inaugurated in time for the 200th anniversary of Shelley's novel, written in Geneva - is the work of KLAT, a group of artists originally involved in the squat scene. Conceived as a contemporary metaphor for marginality, the sculpture is intended to be a critique of an urban order that excludes, relegates, and invisibilizes. In this paper, we examine the production process of this contemporary version of Frankenstein's creature. The ambiguity of the punk rereading, in bronze, without a pedestal, of a romantic figure, reveals more broadly the complexity of the contemporary spatial condition of art. By examining the process of commissioning, and the administrative discussion about the location between different city departments, and with the artists, we address several spatial issues in contemporary art. The analysis of the discussions reveals different interpretations of the work, its literary background and its urban environment. This reciprocal construction of a sense of the statue and its place allows us to think about what constitutes the relationship between art and its context. More broadly, this case questions the conditions for a critique of urban order through public art. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conscients de la dégradation de l'environnement urbain et soucieux de promouvoir un développement durable, les acteurs européens concernés, comme les municipalités, les organisations non-gouvernementales (ONG), et les entreprises, ont construit un nouveau modèle pour la ville. L'application de ce modèle ferait apparaître des villes compactes, favorisant la mixité fonctionnelle, respectueuses des écosystèmes et du patrimoine urbain, et gérées par les municipalités socialement responsables. Ces villes durables contribueraient à étendre de nombreuses libertés constitutives et instrumentales du développement, grâce à un environnement plus sain et à une meilleure accessibilité des services urbains. Les inégalités entre les citadins en seraient réduites. Par ailleurs, les contraintes imposées par le modèle de ville durable limitant parfois les libertés traditionnelles devraient être librement acceptées par les acteurs urbains dans le cadre d'une démocratie participative.
