  Internet, Digital Data, Power and Rivalries in the Post-Soviet Area

  For more than a decade, Internet and digital networks have played a central part in most of the contemporary conflicts. Whether it deals with their storage, circulation, production or their manipulation (both literally and figuratively), digital data are being mobilized in a wide array of geopolitical crises and rivalries. Moreover, more numerous and diverse strategies are being developed to control these data as the ongoing datafication of society widens its reach into new areas of human activity. Computer piracy, the destruction of infrastructures and the manipulation of information have become tools in the hands of a growing number of actors willing to confirm or reverse a given geopolitical power relationship. The post-Soviet area constitutes a fertile ground for the deployment of such tactics and strategies of control. Disrupting the circulation networks, or the treatment and storage infrastructures of digital data, has progressively become a full-fledged strategy in the conflicts and rivalries that permeate this post-imperial space. As such, the struggle between several “imagined communities” (Anderson), grounded on diverging representations of memory, identity, and language, constitutes a powerful catalyzer of digital conflictuality.

  Mucem conference program: mediatisation of the Mediterranean diet

  Nous souhaitons anticiper et préparer l’ouverture de l’exposition dédiée à la diète méditerranéenne au Mucem en juillet 2020, en observant les formes de la médiatisation de l’alimentation sous l’angle du débat et de la controverse. Comment s’opère la circulation et la médiation des savoirs dans la société entre chercheurs, professionnels du musée et publics ? L’analyse médiatique constitue ainsi le socle à partir duquel pourront s’observer les transformations par les professionnels de musée de ces discours, pour s’adapter au média exposition. Cette journée d’étude, organisée dans le cadre d’un projet collectif financé par l’université d’Avignon, permet ainsi de nourrir la réflexion sur les discours circulant autour de la diète méditerranéenne d’une part et sur l’exposition de l’alimentation d’autre part, avant d’analyser plus avant les contenus de l’exposition proposée au Mucem.

  Season 2 of the "leisure and imagination" seminar-workshop

  Dans le cadre des ateliers-séminaires « Loisirs et imaginaire » organisés au sein de l’axe 2 du laboratoire C3S (EA 4660), et dans la continuité de l’édition 2018 qui portait sur les modalités de construction des mondes sociaux des loisirs, il s’agit à présent de questionner la notion d’« espace(s) ». Les contributions viseront à interroger les liens qui peuvent être tissés entre loisirs, imaginaire et espaces des sports ou des jeux. L’objectif est de répondre à la question suivante : comment l’imaginaire de l’espace donne-t-il du sens aux pratiques ludiques et/ou sportives des acteurs sociaux ?

  The Construction of the European Area of Higher Education, 20 years after the Launch of the Bologna Process

  20 years after the signing of the Bologna Process, the time seems right to take stock of its implementation. The aim is to focus on its procedural dimension and on the organisational and/or strategic developments and responses to its implementation by the higher education institutions concerned. The focus on the Bologna Process cannot be exclusively managerial. The implementation of the Bologna Process, which is non-prescriptive, with national variations often induced by specific policies, has often encountered difficulties in terms of ownership and legitimization by actors in higher education systems, which ultimately raises the issue of the effectiveness of the Process. It is also interesting to study universities as actors and producers of discourse in relation to European integration.

  Identifying and indexing research grounds in scientific texts

  This day focuses on the challenges, methods and research questions associated with the recognition of geographical entities in the texts of scientific publications. The first session looks back at land-related research. Overgrazed lands, remote science, visibility of research sites and the local dimension of some sites will be discussed. The second session will present the methodologies for automatically detecting research fields in scientific texts. The third session will show the interest of these methods and the challenge of applying them to large corpora of scientific texts, taking the example of the ISTEX and OpenEdition corpora. The fourth session will present projects proposing interactive keyword and toponym exploration solutions for archaeology and geography journals.
