  (De-)colonized Childhoods

  Revue d’histoire de l’enfance « irrégulière » | Numéro thématique 22 – 2020

  Over the past several years, historiography that combines Childhood and Youth Studies with Colonial/Postcolonial Studies has demonstrated the importance of the place and role of children and youth in imperial constructions. In 2012, the Revue d’histoire de l’enfance “irrégulière” (RHEI) contributed to the development of this field with its issue on “Displaced Childhoods in Colonial Contexts” (no. 14, 2012). The journal will continue to explore new paths of research on this subject by dedicating issue 22 (2020) to child protection in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

  Regionalisation and governance

  La nouvelle structuration politico-administrative de la Tunisie née de la constitution de 2014 implique un nouveau mode d’organisation et de gestion territoriale, ce qui représente un champ de réflexion pour les géographes mais aussi pour plusieurs autres disciplines, sur la gouvernance territoriale. Cette question de gouvernance territoriale est en étroite relation avec les questions de régionalisation des territoires et de leurs développements. L’enjeu est désormais de savoir comment, – dans un contexte de transition démocratique et de mise en place de nouveaux instruments législatifs et institutionnels –, les responsables politiques, les divers acteurs et les chercheurs considèrent la problématique de la gouvernance territoriale. Ce colloque propose de réfléchir sur la nouvelle gouvernance des territoires régionaux et locaux et sur les enjeux qui déterminent aujourd’hui la mise en place de cette gouvernance et les contraintes qui l’entravent.

  Experimental and alternative urbanism in the MENA region: building a critical and ‘political’ research on the ‘new’ modes of making the city

  Italian Association for Middle Eastern Studies (SeSaMO) Annual Conference - Panel 12

  This panel focuses on the renewed forms to build the city in the MENA region (‘environmental planning’, ‘resilient urbanism’, ‘responsive urbanism’, participatory and ‘collaborative’ initiatives, ‘sustainable’ urbanism…). The panel will tackle two types of spaces: informal settlements, where experimental forms and new methods are at work, and major eco-projects which have adopted in recent years ecological processes, along with global strategies. The major research hypothesis is that the MENA region shows at least since the 2000s new forms of urbanism that, to varying degrees, bring weak but maybe harbinger/forerunner signals of change and innovation, driven by the concepts of environment and sustainability. This is valid for both urban governance and the theoretical underpinnings of it, whereby professional training and the learning ways of doing, thinking and working on the city, shows some progressive changes. The panel will seek to understand why, however, the MENA seems to experience difficulties in ‘refreshing its software’ on regional, national and local theory and practice of urban planning.
