Port Cities: Comparative Perspectives on Urban Stability and Public Safety
18th-21st centuries
The coming of globalization was centrally anchored in the increased mobility of goods, people and ideas. Port cities were thus transformed in crucial hubs in this mobility age. Because of the heterogeneous social and cultural landscape associated with commerce and transport, port cities became increasingly known as insecure places. Hence the perceptions resulting from and the strategies adopted to deal with the insecurity and the search for a new sense of urban stability were especially acute in port cities.

Ethics and social responsibility research
Following in the footsteps of its first edition in 2011, the 2nd Symposium on Ethics and Social Responsibility Research-2013 is intended to promote a dialogue between the research lines which converge in the quest for scientific understanding of the current challenges of ethics, sustainability and social responsibility in organizations. SESRR will also address the complexities of individual ethical decision-making processes in organizational settings. It aims not only to discuss theoretical models and empirical results, but also debating the organizational strategies and the intervention practices in these areas, which are particularly at stake in the context of the economic crisis nowadays. Issues such as the prevention of misconduct in organizations or the relationship between individual’s ethical behavior and the strategies for the economic recovery will be discussed at specific forums.

The diplomatic letter (2): the epistolary genre as an administration tool
La série de journées d’études consacrée à « La Lettre diplomatique » tire son argument de la grande ductilité du genre épistolaire et s’attache à l’étude de la contamination formelle de l’acte diplomatique par la lettre. En effet, si l’acte se justifie par le droit qu’il crée et la lettre par les nouvelles qu’elle donne, la lettre peut aussi transmettre un ordre ou notifier une situation juridique et devenir de ce fait « diplomatique ». Avec cette seconde session, on attend réfléchir à la forte « diplomatisation » de la lettre à partir du Moyen Âge central, en lien notamment avec le redéploiement des artes dictaminis dès le XIe siècle, et à la diversité des emplois du genre épistolaire comme outil administratif.

Sensing the city: explorations in sensory ethnography
The conference aims to explore the relation between urban places and sensory experiences, drawing attention to the many dimensions of life in the city, mainly those that are rendered by the sense. We are guided by two main questions: What’s the role of the senses in framing, attributing meaning and changing collective and subjective experiences of city dwellers? And what is the relevant impact of sensory registration and analysis on the way of doing ethnography? Our objective is to gather researchers working on urban settings through ethnographic approaches. The senses will be considered both as an epistemological proposal – through which one sees the urban phenomena – and a methodological approach to the city.
