No full textModalities of Exchange is the final report of Skills Exchange, a collaborative art and social research project that took place between January 2007 and April 2012 led by The Centre For Possible Studies, an artistic residency, community research space, and popular education program in the Edgware Road neighborhood. The report reviews the way in which art is discussed in social care and social care is discussed in art.

The author of this article focuses on the novelist’s prose and analyses the cultural references rooted in Indian, European, African and Creole cultures. The aim of this analysis is also to describe the intertextual relations that exist between some of Ananda Devi’s texts and the works of Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Arthur Rimbaud or Malcolm de Chazal, T. S. Eliot, Toni Morrison and J. M. Coetzee. In the analysis, the author draws on the research of Homi Bhabha and Gérard Genette
Ananda Devi et certains de l’exil
No full textInspired by Devi’s Ceux du large (2017) and by authors connected to her, a performance has been created by the author, who was to conduct an oral creative workshop among whose participants were young immigrants. Trying to take into account both dimensions of such an artistic but also human experience, the text points out the links between Ananda Devi’s words and the young immigrants’ ones, and also the influence of having read them on the way to lead the workshop. But, above all, it shows how such a poetic writing is necessary not to reduce migration to a simple and measurable fact.Inspirée par des pages de Ceux du large (Ananda Devi, 2017) et des pages d’autres auteurs avec lesquels Ananda Devi est en lien, une performance été faite par un artiste-chercheur devant aussi animer un atelier de création sonore et à la même période. Parmi les participants se trouvaient de jeunes migrants. Essayant de prendre en compte toutes les dimensions d’une telle expérience aussi bien humaine qu’artistique, le texte fait apparaître les liens entre les mots d’Ananda Devi et ceux des jeunes migrants, et aussi l’influence de les avoir lus sur la façon de conduire l’atelier. Mais, par-dessus tout, il s’agit de montrer combien une telle écriture poétique est nécessaire pour ne pas réduire la migration à un simple fait mesurable
