Town and gown are two distinct communities of a university town; 'town' being the non-academic population and 'gown' metonymically being the university community, especially in ancient seats of learning such as Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, and St Andrews, although the term is also used to describe modern university towns as well as towns with a significant public school. The metaphor is historical in its connotation but continues to be used in the literature on urban higher education and in common parlance.

  • Town and gown (littéralement « la Ville et la Robe », expression appliquée par les historiens des Universités anglaises médiévales à ce type de conflits) est une expression désignant deux communautés distinctes dans une cité universitaire : le premier terme se réfère à la population non académique, le deuxième à la population universitaire (corporation faisant partie dès les origines du clergé séculier et portant la robe), notamment dans les anciennes places d'enseignement comme Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, et Édimbourg, bien que le terme soit aussi employé à propos de cités universitaires modernes ou de villes ayant une école publique d'une certaine importance. La métaphore a une connotation historique, mais continue d'être utilisée dans la littérature et dans le langage quotidien. (fr)

  • Town and gown is een Engels begrip voor twee verschillende gemeenschappen in universiteitssteden: enerzijds de burgers die er permanent wonen (town) en anderzijds de universitaire studenten en docenten (gown, toga). De term stamt uit Britse universiteitssteden in de middeleeuwen, zoals Oxford en Cambridge, waar de belangen van beide gemeenschappen weleens tegenstrijdig waren. Het begrip town and gown wordt soms nog gebruikt om moderne universiteitssteden aan te duiden. (nl)
  • Der englische Begriff town and gown (zu deutsch etwa Städter und Akademiker) bezeichnet zwei unterschiedliche bis gegensätzliche Personengruppen in Universitätsstädten: die nicht-akademischen Bürger und Stadtbewohner auf der einen sowie die Studenten, Absolventen und Universitätsangehörigen auf der anderen Seite. Er wird vor allem im Zusammenhang mit älteren britischen Bildungsstädten wie Oxford, Cambridge, Durham oder St Andrews verwendet und war nicht selten Inbegriff für konfliktreiche Geschehnisse. (de)
  • Town and gown è un paradigma della letteratura storica di lingua anglosassone che individua e accosta, attraverso un termine metaforico, le due distinte componenti comunitarie che animano una città universitaria in un complesso sistema di relazioni sociali, economiche e politiche che, fin dagli albori nel Medioevo, ha sempre esibito aspetti di criticità ma che, d'altro canto, è stato un elemento cruciale sia nella storia dell'università, sia nelle vicende e nello sviluppo delle singole città interessate dalla presenza di comunità accademiche.
