Migrations produce artistic creation. How does this take place? Can we observe exchanges between cultures? What are the risks of acculturation and ghettoisation? What role could these cultural phenomena play in integration policies? How should the different communitarian or republican “models” react on this point? How do new media (in particular, the Internet) shift these issues in the creative process? What can be the status of the “untranslatable”?
