TL;DR: Gillet et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a survey on social changes, ways of life and collective representations in northern France and Belgium, focusing on the analysis of sociability, i.e., the network of relationships which are an important aspect of the region's ethnological heritage, since these hear witness to modes of organisation and ways of functioning of the social groups and their collective representations.
Abstract: Industrial heritage and ethnological heritage : the northern cultural area (north of France and Belgium). M. Gillet. ; ; A cross-disciplinary and international group of the Lille Centre Interuniversitaire de recherches en Sciences Humaines is conducting a survey on "Social changes, ways of life and collective representations in northern France and Belgium". It places particular emphasis on the analysis of sociability, ie., the network of relationships which are an important aspect of the region's ethnological heritage, since these hear witness to modes of organisation and ways of functioning of the social groups and of their collective representations. The current survey has so far based itself mainly on the analysis of open-ended interviews undertaken in three areas in France (Gravelines, Halluin, Sallaumines) and three comparable areas in Belgium (Poperinghe, Andrimont and Cuesmes).

Abstract: Although Japan had begun to learn Western technology from the mid-sixteenth century, it was immediately before the Meiji Restoration in 1868 that the imminent necessity of industrialization was realized by a few farsighted leaders of some feudal clans. Thereafter, her industrialization made rapid progress down to the time of World War II, when much industrial equipment was lost in the massive air-raids.The loss of her pre-war plants was further aggravated by the extensive renewal of old-fashioned buildings and machines, carried out during the period of her economic growth in the 1960s. This paper attemps to describe how the surviving industrial monuments from several representative sections of industry are preserved either on site or in museums, and how their study has recently been taken up in Japan.
