The present research aims at illustrating the newcomer’s process of becoming an ‘emergent plurilingual’ member of a heterogeneous and multilingual primary school classroom in Luxembourg. It is a 8 month case study about a child belonging to one of the ethnic and linguistic communities most affected by school failure in Luxembourg, namely ‘Romanophones’ or romance-language speaking students. The country of Luxembourg has three official languages and a great diversity, both factors demanding a unique educational system. The Luxembourgish educational system is then confronted with the common practice of trilingualism and a high proportion of foreigners in its classrooms. A detailed analysis of the actors in contact with this child, including the different teachers, parents, and peers, allows for an observation of which practices are legitimated and which ones are marginalized. It also provides valuable insights on how such practices emerge and how the newcomer’s identity evolves within the class group.

Rapid and intensive changes in the information landscape cause changes in social relationships and, consequently, in relations between generations. Within their social role libraries should work actively to reduce age segregation and isolation, and build cohesive society through intergenerational services and programmes. The authors speak about the intergenerational dialogue in libraries - theories, research and practice - and about reading as a link between generations, thus offering to libraries strategies for establishing social cohesion.

Le phnomne sexacerbe-t-il ou les mdias et les politiques ont-ils cess dtre dans le dni ? Lanalyse des causes rpertories, dans cet essai est plus que jamais dactualit. Les sources de la Barbarie sont toujours langlisme, la tendance au laxisme et l'a priori que la misre excuse la violence. La permissivit, lhypocrisie et la politique de lautruche ont donn le jour des enfants rois, des Barbaresques qui vivent dans une intolrance la frustration qui les conduit aux addictions, la violence et l'immdiatet. Ils sont inconscients au sens littral du terme, cest--dire quils nont plus conscience de ce quils font.
