The "Anatomy of a language and a culture"
A teaching module common to parcours de réussite L1+ et Tempo du programme Licence+
What is a culture? How does a language work? What is the relationship between individuals and the social world they produce? From what is woven the cultural web in which we live, which seems so obvious to us while it may seem strange to individuals from other cultural spheres?
Around these questions, this workshop aims to provide historical milestones, linguistic landmarks, anthropological or sociological knowledge, by articulating them to a collective project carried out by the students.
By drawing on students' resources, skills and knowledge, including informal ones, it enables them to make the most of their diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Depending on the dynamics created within the different groups, the themes tackled, the angles of approach, as well as the projects emerging from this workshop are diverse: decoding societal issues, inventing a religion, comparing the systems of several countries, examining the development of a language over several centuries, etc.

Episode n°5 - Asian cuisine
"This booklet is the result of a project undertaken by Inalco students from different courses, as part of the UE "Anatomie d'une langue et d'une culture". The visibility of prejudices about Chinese gastronomic culture is heightened by the health news linked to COVID, which prompted us to reflect on these issues, but these prejudices did not appear with it. Through different approaches, we have sought to explore these themes and provide rigorous information presented in an accessible way to dispel the preconceptions often held about Chinese cuisine."
