A Love Anthology of the Moroccan Sahara

This anthology as envisioned seeks to be a space of intellectual freedom for contributing researchers, aiming to further unveil the heritage of a territory deeply cherished by all Moroccans. This publication is also intended as a contribution to the expression of love — hence its title — that this space inspires among them. In its anthological format, both engaging and rigorous, it proposes to explore specific thematic areas through defined perspectives and research questions, adhering to principles of scientific rigor and objectivity.

Punk (1976-2026). Memories and Commemorations of a Transmedial Culture

Ce colloque bilingue (français et anglais), qui se déroulera du 24 au 26 novembre 2026, prend pour point de départ les 50 ans de « Anarchy in the UK », pour réfléchir sur la mémoire et la commémoration du punk, entendu ici comme un phénomène transnational et transmédiatique. Quelle configuration pour la nostalgie du no future ? Et quelle postérité pour un mouvement si ancré dans le DIY et l’analogique, au sein d’une société où la culture numérique est devenue dominante ?

Development Seen from Africa: Perceptions, Management, and the Challenge of “Better Living”

Revue « Daftari za Ngūgī », Vol. 6, 1er semestre 2027

Ce numéro de la revue Daftari za Ngūgī (ex-Nouvelles Dynamiques Africaines) invite à une rupture épistémique avec les mesures occidentales du développement (IDH). Contre la vision d’une Afrique pathologisée par les classements internationaux, cet appel sollicite des enquêtes empiriques rigoureuses explorant le « développement par le bas » : économie informelle, solidarités villageoises et définitions endogènes du « vivre-mieux ».

Goddness and beauty of contemporary architecture

This scientific event focuses on buildings that can be considered both good and beautiful today. By looking more specifically at how those involved in architectural projects negotiate between external constraints and their own opportunities, the conference will examine design processes in contemporary practices.

Smart cities: technological innovation and sustainable urban development

Le concept de ville intelligente s’impose progressivement comme un paradigme essentiel dans la réflexion et la planification urbaines contemporaines. Comment les concepts de ville intelligente peuvent-ils être adaptés aux réalités socio-économiques, culturelles et infrastructurelles des villes camerounaises et africaines, y compris les établissements informels et les économies mixtes formelles-informelles ? Quels sont les risques d'exclusion numérique et de renforcement des inégalités socio-spatiales ? Voilà les dimensions non exhaustives qui pourraient meubler les communications attendues dans le cadre de cette journée scientifique.

Architecture has a Soil Problem

Clara Journal, thematic issue, no. 13

From the digging of foundations to the sealing of surfaces, architectural practice typically treats soil as ‘dirt’—as matter out of place — an interchangeable substance devoid of specificity, meaning, or vitality. Soils are too often reduced to a passive background for human activity, an empty canvas to build upon rather than a living milieu to design with, within or through. This ignorance indirectly contributes to their depletion and demise. What would it mean to resist this thanatological path and instead reconceptualize both soil and architecture through their entanglements, in relation to the pedogenetic processes they co-produce ?

Urban Metamorphoses: Socio-Spatial Dynamics in Arab Cities

Revue « EchoGéo »

Since the beginning of the 20^th century, the Arab world has undergone rapid urbanization. Today, global cities in the region such as Doha and Dubai have themselves become exporters of new urban paradigms to the wider Arab world and beyond. This issue of EchoGéo aims to explore these urban metamorphoses through a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, connecting dynamics across North Africa and the Middle East, and to bridge three elements: understanding the forces that deeply transform Arab cities, examining how they unfold in concrete places, and giving full attention to the resistances, detours, and inventions that redraw urban life.

Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity

Journal Espaces et Sociétés No. 200

Local government service budgets have continued to be cut, exacerbating the social and environmental vulnerabilities that municipalities now have to manage with limited resources. The purpose of this dossier is to focus on the spatial dimension of the continuance and evolution of public goods in a context of austerity. In particular, we encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experiments and bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. The goal is to give space to studies that investigate the relationship between austerity, public goods and care practices.

Precarious housing in the Global South

Public interventions and residents' expériences

This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Terrains criminologiques africains

The African continent remains "marginal" on the international stage of criminological research. Despite the development of academic programs, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Côte d’Ivoire, and the existence of specialized journals, African publications enjoy limited visibility. This lack of visibility can be explained by the standardization of international research, the weakness of research funding, linguistic boundaries, and the scarcity of exchanges between paradigmatic traditions. While anglophone research mostly adopts an etiological or institutional approach (prisons, violence, corruption), francophone work, influenced by interactionism, explores more diversified topics: green criminology, economic criminology, extreme violence, land conflicts, problematic practices of public agents... Numerous studies, although not identified as “criminological,” also contribute to the discipline due to the relevance of their theoretical frameworks. This issue therefore aims to make these African research contexts visible, to go beyond disciplinary boundaries, and to contribute to the conceptual and methodological renewal of a criminology in the making.

Les nouveaux défis des mobilités rurales

Revue « Flux »

This issue of Flux invites us to examine the mobility issues facing rural communities today. More specifically, it sheds light on the particularities that characterize rural territories in terms of travel, but also the difficulties encountered by the populations that populate them and the forms of ingenuity (individual, collective, informal, institutional, technical, project-based, etc.) that develop there.

Disability issues in French and European Overseas Territories

The situation of people with disabilities is specific in French or European overseas areas (the Azores, Aruba, Bermuda...). Several phenomena characterize them (marginality on several scales, insularity possibly, particular legislation, economic situation). Moreover, each territory has specificities of the same order. And it can itself show strong internal variations (French Polynesia, Guyana, Bermuda) depending on the distance from the local center, isolation or different forms of marginality (which do not include only isolation or remoteness, but a social margin). In these conditions, people live situations very different from those of the metropolitan areas, with care, views on otherness, solidarities... sometimes far removed from the metropolitan realities. However, on this subject, knowledge is often lacking.

The Neglected Times of Architecture

By bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives, this conference seeks to unfold the multiple temporal dimensions of architecture and the built environment, to foreground the actions, resources, and actors implicated in these processes, and to explore research methodologies capable of apprehending such dynamics. The event will also feature a dedicated space for the exhibition of audio/visual materials stemming from research engaging with these themes. Submissions may therefore take the form of traditional oral presentations, as well as shorter presentations centred on one or more audio/visual pieces—such as photographs, films, drawings, maps...
