Authors: Depoil Anne-Lise , Doyon Raphaëlle
Published: July 2024

Les 15, 16 et 17 septembre 2022 au théâtre des Îlets – Centre dramatique national de Montluçon (Allier), des créatrices et chercheuses se sont réunies sous l’impulsion de l’autrice et metteuse en scène Carole Thibaut autour d’un souci commun, celui de faire trace pour les femmes créatrices de théâtre en France de 1970 à nos jours. Les échanges ont renouvelé le constat, déjà établi par l’historiographie, d’un effacement des créatrices des récits historiques et collectifs, et d’une carence de leurs traces dans les collections patrimoniales. Le présent article propose de relater, en s’appuyant sur des travaux en histoire du théâtre et des recherches en histoire du genre, les modalités et mécanismes de la constitution différenciée des patrimoines du théâtre suivant le genre des artistes, en prenant en compte les conditions de création, l’archivage dans les collections privées puis patrimoniales, ainsi que la mise en récit. Il présente également des pistes pour commencer à construire et transmettre un patrimoine théâtral mixte, intégrant les apports des créatrices aux côtés de ceux de leurs homologues masculins.

Introduction
Authors: Yon Jean-Claude
Published: July 2024

Écrite par un historien des spectacles qui a jadis travaillé au musée d’Orsay, cette introduction a pour but de mettre en perspective la quinzaine de textes qui constitue ce dossier. Pour ce faire, après un rappel des spécificités des patrimoines du théâtre, la réflexion se déploie en deux temps. L’accent est tout d’abord mis sur l’extraordinaire variété de ces patrimoines au sein desquels trois grands ensembles peuvent être distingués : le « savoir technique et artisanal », les archives, l’audiovisuel et le numérique. Dans un second temps, quatre utilisations de ces patrimoines sont mises en avant : servir de sources pour les chercheurs, initier le grand public au théâtre, participer à l’identité d’un territoire, servir de matériau à des créateurs. L’introduction se termine par l’affirmation de cinq priorités qui doivent aider à mieux valoriser ces patrimoines, formidables outils de compréhension de nos sociétés et des sociétés passées.

An Empirical Study on Awareness of Ponzi Schemes in India
Authors: Patni Jagruti , Singh Naveen Kumar
Published: July 2024

The given point of view on how Indians perceive and relate to Ponzi is taken up for consideration. The rather classic sampling model employed in the study is alarming as it shows that despite the information imbalance between the urban and village areas, there are huge knowledge gaps left in the villages. The survey showcases a scary picture—Indian people are highly attracted to this preposterous rhetoric and speculative investments that underutilize financial rationality. The research points out that celebrity endorsement is a major issue requiring immediate legal action. Scapegoating public figures who had the audacity to lend their dignity to Ponzi schemes means that the public is more trusting of the unknown, the never-heard-of-before enterprises. A highly valuable conclusory statement was developed, which formed the basis for the development of a blueprint for improving public education and financial literacy initiatives. Using this, Indians are allowed to avoid that narrow bridge, which often leads to the drainage of their savings through the wrong investment schemes.
