Une «Flamandisation» De Bruxelles?
Une «flamandisation» de Bruxelles? Alice Romainville Université Libre de Bruxelles RÉSUMÉ Les médias francophones, en couvrant l'actualité politique bruxelloise et à la faveur des (très médiatisés) «conflits» communautaires, évoquent régulièrement les volontés du pouvoir flamand de (re)conquérir Bruxelles, voire une véritable «flamandisation» de la ville. Cet article tente d'éclairer cette question de manière empirique à l'aide de diffé- rents «indicateurs» de la présence flamande à Bruxelles. L'analyse des migrations entre la Flandre, la Wallonie et Bruxelles ces vingt dernières années montre que la population néerlandophone de Bruxelles n'est pas en augmentation. D'autres éléments doivent donc être trouvés pour expliquer ce sentiment d'une présence flamande accrue. Une étude plus poussée des migrations montre une concentration vers le centre de Bruxelles des migrations depuis la Flandre, et les investissements de la Communauté flamande sont également, dans beaucoup de domaines, concentrés dans le centre-ville. On observe en réalité, à défaut d'une véritable «flamandisation», une augmentation de la visibilité de la communauté flamande, à la fois en tant que groupe de population et en tant qu'institution politique. Le «mythe de la flamandisation» prend essence dans cette visibilité accrue, mais aussi dans les réactions francophones à cette visibilité. L'article analyse, au passage, les différentes formes que prend la présence institutionnelle fla- mande dans l'espace urbain, et en particulier dans le domaine culturel, lequel présente à Bruxelles des enjeux particuliers. MOTS-CLÉS: Bruxelles, Communautés, flamandisation, migrations, visibilité, culture ABSTRACT DOES «FLEMISHISATION» THREATEN BRUSSELS? French-speaking media, when covering Brussels' political events, especially on the occasion of (much mediatised) inter-community conflicts, regularly mention the Flemish authorities' will to (re)conquer Brussels, if not a true «flemishisation» of the city. -

Petrification’ of Brussels Architecture an Attempted Explanation Between Construction Methods, Supply of Building Materials and Social Context (13Th-17Th Centuries)
‘Petrification’ of Brussels architecture An attempted explanation between construction methods, supply of building materials and social context (13th-17th centuries) Paulo CHARRUADAS 1 | Philippe SOSNOWSKA 2 1 Centre de Recherches en Archéologie et Patrimoine, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)-Fonds National de la Recherche scientifique (F.R.S.-FNRS), Belgium | 2 Centre de Recherches en Archéologie et Patrimoine, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium Abstract : Except for religious and aristocratic buildings, most constructions and houses in the initial stages of the former European cities and towns were mainly made of cob and timber. The gradual and complex transformation into stone and brick constructions – the so-called ‘petrification’ – is one of the most important processes within cities and towns. To date, however, this phenomenon has been little studied by historians and archaeologists. How these architectural transformations and their chronology took place is still a matter of conjecture. ‘Petrification’ is nonetheless a significant process: it affects the general aspect of the cities and towns, reflecting an obvious change in the landscape and the evolution in the employed building materials. From a social viewpoint, ‘petrification’ is associated with the way in which houses are interconnected and thus is a reflection of town politics as well as the relationships between neighborhoods. The ‘petrification’ process has also important implications in the organization of urban supplies of building materials. The relationship -

The chal- lenges call for energy transitions: changes that concern entire energy systems, not just some of their parts. These changes are structural, as they modify the way energy provision is organized at the level of society. They are radical, since they may demand abandoning existing technolo- gies even if they still work. And the changes are fundamental, because they require that we start thinking in novel ways about energy, its provi- sion, and how a good and just society is organized around energy. Transitions do not only pose technological challenges, but involve enor- mous social, political and economic changes as well. Changes concern market relations, social and institutional roles and responsibilities, and the emergence of new actors. Most policy documents and future visions focus on economic, geo- political and technological changes. Insofar as social processes are con- cerned, they are discussed at an aggregate and undifferentiated way: as a human factor, which is at best the receiver of policies and econom- ic transactions, and at worst a resid- ual category containing the overflows of economic and technological interven- tions. -
