Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology

Writing the sciences today

Le thème central du colloque est l'internet, et les reconfigurations des disciplines universitaires depuis son essor : en termes de pratiques (outils, méthodes, données , savoir-faire, etc.), de problématiques (nouvelles, réactualisées, ou infléchies du fait de l'internet) et d'équilibres (recomposition des frontières entre disciplines, émergence de disciplines mixtes). Le propos n'est pas de raisonner en termes de révolution, mais d'articuler les changements présents avec le passé lointain ou récent, en explorant la notion d'instrument : de techniques et de méthodes intellectuelles.

Borders, Walls and Security

Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the question still remains “Do good fences still make good neighbours”? Since the Great Wall of China, construction of which began under the Qin dynasty, the Antonine Wall, built in Scotland to support Hadrian’s Wall, the Roman “Limes” or the Danevirk fence, the “wall” has been a constant in the protection of defined entities claiming sovereignty, East and West. But is the wall more than an historical relict for the management of borders? In recent years the wall has been given renewed vigour all around the world, whether in North America, in Europe (with the Greek border fence), in Asia (for instance in India) or in Middle East. But the success of these new walls in the development of friendly and orderly relations between nations (or indeed, within nations) remains unclear. What role does the wall play in the development of security and insecurity? Do walls contribute to a sense of insecurity as much as they assuage fears and create a sense of security for those ‘behind the line’? Exactly what kind of security is associated with border walls?

Carnets de Géographes journal no. 7

Ce septième numéro des Carnets de Géographes propose d’approcher des espaces de l’entre-deux, des espaces qui présentent des natures, des fonctions, des temporalités, des statuts incertains, temporaires et / ou tout simplement différents par rapport aux étendues dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent : les « blancs » de nos cartes topographiques (Vasset, 2007), les interstices de nos villes (Tonnelat, 2003), les friches de toutes sortes (ferroviaires, agricoles, industrielles notamment), les morceaux d’urbanisations dispersées (Sieverts, 2004), etc.

Ethnic or national minorities. Between renewal and permanence

Belgéo Review

The coordinaters of this issue of he Belgéo review plan to reflect about the "ethnic or national minorities", two polysemous concepts here perceived in a way opened to interpretation even if they are inscribed in P. Poutignat and J. Streiff-Fénart’s definition, when they state that these groups “only exist thanks to the subjective belief their members share that they constitute a community.” The minority group is dialectically linked to the existence of a majority. It can be said “ethnic” because of racial parameters but above all because of the presence of linguistic, religious, cultural or other discriminating and specific markers. The will to be different expresses itself in various ways – instutional or not – and leads to very diverse situations, located between resistance and cooperation, forced integration and autonomy. The way to name places, individuals, but also their status – granted or claimed for – their visibility in the social and political space, are elements characterizing the notion of “otherness”.

Ideas in movement: the role of conflict and commerce in the history of navigation

Following successful meetings in 2010 and 2012, Royal Museums Greenwich and the Royal Institute of Navigation are planning a third symposium to bring together current research in the history of navigation. 2014 sees the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. While this conflict provided a powerful stimulus for research and development in navigation, technological developments have also sprung from users and from commercial imperatives.

The Lebanon and the Syrian crisis

Ce colloque sur « Le Liban et la crise syrienne » s’inscrit dans un programme de recherche plus vaste : « Le Proche-Orient et la crise syrienne ». La crise syrienne va se prolonger, même si les combats cessaient en 2013-2014. Les conséquences sur la Syrie et le Proche-Orient sont durables, ce qui justifie une réflexion sur le long terme. Quelles sont les consequences sur le Liban ? Sur la politique intérieure ? Sur son économie ? S’agit-il de la faillite de la politique de reconstruction du Liban après la guerre civile, précipitée par la crise syrienne, ou d’un simple retournement de conjoncture ?

Conference, symposium - Sociology

Action publique et problèmes sociaux dans les villes intermédiaires

A Ação Pública resulta da interseção e, cada vez mais, da interdependência entre as ações que decorrem das responsabilidades respetivas das Políticas Públicas, através dos diferentes elos que a concretizam e da Sociedade Civil, através das iniciativas que a consubstanciam, entre movimentos sociais e iniciativas locais e as organizações e dispositivos que lhes dão consistência. A Ação Pública manifesta-se na construção e gestão dos problemas públicos ou sociais. O próprio processo de construção e os modos de gestão dos problemas sociais são analisadores potentes das relações de poder que existem entre os atores e das dinâmicas sociais no interior dos coletivos analisados.
