On dit que le patrimoine est partout. Serait-ce le constat que nous ne sommes plus capables de choisir ? L’invention du patrimoine a nécessité la mise en place de systèmes, articulés autour de critères plus ou moins précis, pour juger de la qualité ou de la pertinence de « faire patrimoine » un objet plutôt qu’un autre.

L’invention du patrimoine a nécessité la mise en place de systèmes, articulés autour de critères plus ou moins précis, pour juger de la qualité ou de la pertinence de « faire patrimoine » un objet plutôt qu’un autre. Dix-neuf chercheurs se sont penchés, à partir de leur terrain de recherche, sur la structure, les acteurs, les pratiques et les objets en jeu. Entre propositions théoriques et considérations empiriques, les contributions rassemblées cherchent à cerner une même mécanique, inscrite au coeur de la patrimonialisation. Elles révèlent de la sorte les objectifs et les défis qui la traversent tout autant que les effets qu’elle crée sur l’échiquier culturel.

Summary:
In "Pig", Brett Mizelle provides a richly illustrated and compelling look at the long, complicated relationship between humans and these highly intelligent, sociable animals. Mizelle traces the natural and cultural history of the pig, focusing on the contradictions between our imaginative representation of pigs and the real-world truth of the ways in which pigs are prized for their meat, used as subjects in medical research, and killed in order to make hundreds of consumer products. "Pig" begins with the evolution of the suidae, animals that were domesticated in multiple regions 9,000 years ago, and points toward a future where pigs and humans are even more closely intertwined as a result of biomedical breakthroughs. "Pig" both examines the widespread art, entertainment, and literature that imagines human kinship with pigs and the development of modern industrial pork production.

Summary:
The nineteenth-century legend that Southern California’s sunny climate could cure tuberculosis, asthma, rheumatism, and a host of other diseases triggered a rush of health seekers to the region. By the end of the century, these health seekers from the east had inflated land values, caused building booms, inaugurated new types of businesses, and founded such towns as Pasadena, Riverside, and Palm Springs. Baur investigates this migration’s effect on the settlement and development of Southern California, focusing on boosterism, resort advertising, medicine and pseudomedicine, and sanitariums. When his study of the region’s health-resort industry was originally published in 1959, he was hailed as the Herodotus of the health movement of Southern California.
