Culture en villes – literally Culture in Cities – is a blog which aims at broadcasting and highlighting research activities of the multidisciplinary team of the French public laboratory TELEMME (Time, Space, Language, Southern and Mediterranean Europe), and the ATRI (Interdisciplinary Thematic Research Working Group) “Cultural and Creative Economy: territories, circulations, stakeholders”. It deals with stakes of culture and creativity in the functioning of Euro-Mediterranean metropolis and urban policies. It gathers senior and junior researchers from different subjects – geography, urban planning, history, sociology, anthropology – around the topic of the “Cultural Turn” of territories and the relation between creativity, culture and metropolis. The questioning links together pluralist temporal scales, considering long term and cultural legacy – in every sense patrimonial – which are, nowadays, enhanced and integrated into urban attractiveness policies. It is also questioning how spaces are coming closer together by multiplicity of new forms of circulation on international scale. The critical thought on those new categories of reality analysis are based on study cases already existing or on ongoing research, within a comparative perspective giving a priority to Mediterranean scale.
