Governing Rural–Urban Relationships and Periurban Areas in France and Australia
Different Land Use Cultures, Same Issues?
The governance of rural–urban relationships has become a very challenging issue in many countries around the world over the two last decades. Many competing interests are embedded in it: agriculture, metropolitan development, biodiversity conservation, water resources use, etc. Many conflicts take place in periurban areas, for instance. These conflicts are signs of a more general evolution of rural – urban relationships in a context of global change – eg. global warming, loss of biodiversity, the global food challenge, the petrol crisis. This seminar aims to compare how these challenges are tackled in France and in Australia. Considering the differences between the political and institutional contexts of various countries, it will be a great opportunity to think about the role of land use culture in different governance systems. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT. -

Regional Water Management and Adaptive Management
How to deal with multi-scalar issues?
This seminar aims to discuss the interactions between regionalisation of water management and adaptive management. Regionalisation embeds many scales of time and space, which have to be combined to improve and change stakeholder practices. The seminar will bring together international specialists to analyse how adaptive management can deal with institutional, technical and political multi-scalar issues in order to foster change of practises. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT. -

16th International Cave Bear Symposium
Partout en Europe les recherches sur l'ours des cavernes connaissent maintenant un développement considérable grâce au Symposium international de l'ours des cavernes (ICBS). Depuis sa création en 1993 par le Professeur Docteur Rabeder de l'Institut de Paléontologie de Vienne (Autriche), il a lieu chaque année dans une ville différente d'Europe. Cette année, en 2010, il se tiendra à Azé (Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne, France) du 22 au 26 septembre. Ce sera l'occasion de faire le point sur des sites importants de Bourgogne, les grottes d'Azé, les grottes de Blanot et la Brèche de Château. Nous avons décidé d'ajouter une deuxième journée de communications centrées sur le lion des cavernes et plus largement sur les félidés, avec l'espoir de faire évoluer de la même façon les recherches dans un domaine bien souvent délaissé. -

"There is no such thing as nature!" Redefining the Concept & Future of Nature in Contemporary Art
Cette journée tentera de proposer une définition complétée/nouvelle de l’idée de nature en ciblant les interventions sur la production artistique contemporaine. Elle s’intéressera dans un premier temps à penser le paysage contemporain en évoquant les notions de paysage culturel et de paysage comme métaphores des problèmes de société. Dans un second temps, nous nous interrogerons sur la relation qu’entretiennent les hommes à la nature alors que les manipulations génétiques vont bon train, confondant régulièrement les limites entre l’homme et l’animal. -
