“…Professionals and experts from various fields present articles dedicated to Papiamento -language spoken in some islands of the Lesser Antilles that were Dutch and English colonies-, Chabacano -Philippines-, Chamorro -Guam- and, of course, to Judeo-Spanish languages such as Ladino and Haketia, still present in certain areas of the Mediterranean and the Maghreb.The survival of these Creole and Judeo-Spanish languages is explained by the feeling of belonging to a community, sometimes quite closed, in an environment dominated by other languages. And it is this feeling of belonging provided by the common language, which generates a relationship of trust that drives business initiatives and promotes commercial exchanges between the members of the group: a collective that strives to preserve its linguistic identity within a society that is ruled by another language…”

“…Although it has since spread on a (quasi-)global scale, it remains unknown to the general public and has attracted little interest from the social sciences or the press, with rare exceptions focusing on its most spectacular aspects: exacerbated aggression, electric music, ideological positions in strong opposition to the “dominant system.” This monograph intends to go beyond these caricatural representations and adopts an anthropological perspective on the daily lives of so-called hardcore-kids, but also on all the collective mediations deployed to build the world of hardcore punk…”
