Teochews - Chinois de Chaozhou

Les Teochews sont un groupe ethnique chinois originaire de la région de Chaoshan (潮山), à l'est de la province du Guangdong en Chine. Autrefois, ce territoire était la préfecture de Teochew, autrement dit Cháozhōu (潮州) en mandarin. Il convient de noter que la préfecture est une division administrative du territoire, à distinguer de la ville actuelle de Chaozhou, qui faisait partie de ladite préfecture. Les Teochews parlent leur dialecte, qui fait partie de la famille des langues chinoises Min ou

Ensemble d'articles retraçant l'histoire de la diaspora chinoise en France

La France accueille actuellement la plus grande population de la diaspora chinoise au sein de l'Union Européenne, avec des estimations comprises entre 300 000 et 500 000 immigrants (Du et al. 2021, p.21). Malgré cette présence considérable dans le paysage français, l’histoire des vagues de migrations chinoises en France qui remonterait jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle reste pourtant encore mal connue du grand public, évidencée par le manque de recherches et récits accessibles traitant de ce sujet spécifique.

[Copyediting]: #8 The Placeholder Issue

How could an intermediary between a viewer and a source of information – for instance, a historic artefact – help us unlock the meaning encoded within it, inaccessible to those unfamiliar to the medium? If a familiar body could be considered as such an intermediary, what could it mean in terms of understanding other cultures, decolonising knowledge about objects, but also, what role could it play in the future of making new work?

‘How to ‘multiply’ an object by shifting perspectives?’ As signif

REVIEW: Avishai Cohen and Abraham Rodriguez Jr., 'Iroko'

Iroko is a hardwood tree that grows in the tropics of Africa. According to the belief of the Yoruba people (who come from southwestern Nigeria and adjacent areas of Benin and Togo), the Iroko tree is inhabited by a spirit known as the Iroko-man. The spirit is said to cause the insanity and death of those who dare confront it. It is believed that those who try to chop down the Iroko will suffer severe misfortune unless they offer a prayer for protection afterward.

On May 5, Israel-based bassist-

Sumaroo on New EP 'Piggyback' and Small Room Storytelling

Singer-songwriter Sumaroo unveiled his latest EP Piggyback this March 24, after years spent searching for a self-identifying sound. This journey has helped hatch a cozy, indie-folk/pop bundle of songs that are set to gently ease us into springtime. The Mauritian-Canadian artist’s songs exude serenity and comfort starting with the title track “Piggyback” which foregrounds the beauty of promises in a romantic relationship and finishing with “Your Nose Is Fine”, an appreciation of one’s inner beaut

REVIEW: RAYE, 'My 21st Century Blues'

Raye’s debut album My 21st Century Blues was a refreshing reminder of what it feels like to listen to a newly released project from start to finish that leaves you wanting more. After the promising lead single “Escapism.” featuring 070 Shake — which has steadily ramped up the chart since its release in October — My 21st Century Blues followed suit in a series of tracks that thematically variegate yet stay sonically cohesive. Raye’s sultry and full voice is in and of itself an auditory treat, and

L'AJCF fête ses 13 ans!

"L'année du tigre sous le signe de la créativité": l'AJCF et Banhmi Podcast fêtent la nouvelle année lunaire à la Mairie du 13ème

Nous avons entamé notre première table ronde autour de 15:30 avec Anne, Diana, Melody, et Charlène, qui puisent leurs inspirations créatives dans leurs identités asiatiques. Elles ont abordé des thèmes tels que l’acceptation de leur double-identité, les réactions de leur entourage face à leur poursuite d’un chemin artistique parfois difficilement accepté dans les familles asiatiques, et bien sûr comment leurs vécus se reflètent dans leurs médiums respectifs: l’illustration, la céramique, et la c

The Secrecy of Celebrity Icons

It’s undeniable: we love being kept on our toes, and we love gossip. The harder something is to find out, the more we want to elucidate it; being aware of the very presence of secrets is enough to spark our interest. So it comes as no surprise that celebrity gossip is a booming industry that generates more than $3 billion in the United States every year. What’s more, social media has offered up a place where celebrities have the power to mystify themselves, even as a means of creating more tract
