  Alexandre Koyré: Transatlantic perspectives

  This symposium commemorates the 50^th anniversary of Koyré's death by focusing on his legacy in the United States. In the 1950s and 1960s, pioneers of the history of science such as Thomas S. Kuhn, I. B. Cohen, Marshall Clagett, Gérald Holton or Charles Gillispie have all admitted his influence on the discipline. The participants will discuss Koyré's impact on the American intellectual landscape and the reception of his ideas among the historians and philosophers who sought to professionalize the teaching of the history of science in the United States.

  Tourism Gentrification in the Metropolis

  American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting, 21-25 April 2015, Chicago

  This session intends to explain the multiple and complex relationships between tourism and gentrification in the contemporary metropolis. Several questions arise. How does tourism gentrification manifest itself and how does it affect the urban landscapes? What are the impacts for urban design and planning? Who are the actors, the beneficiaries and the victims of tourism gentrification? How do local (tourism) actors cope with tourism gentrification phenomena? What is the impact on local economies, urban functions and services? What are the outcomes for intra-metropolitan territories? What does it mean in terms of metropolitan governance?

  Emerging history of the French Atlantic

  Du début du XV^e au début du XIX^e siècle, les peuples de France, d'Afrique et des Amériques établirent des relations commerciales, culturelles et diplomatiques de part et d'autre de l'océan Atlantique. Le temps est venu d'entreprendre un état des lieux de l'histoire de l'Atlantique français et d'encourager les spécialistes de différentes régions, périodes et problématiques à échanger et à s'interroger sur les questions fondamentales de ce champs d'étude. Si les travaux portant sur l'Atlantique français ont longtemps fait figure de parents pauvres face à l'ampleur et la résonnance de l'historiographie des colonialismes anglais et ibériques, les deux dernières décennies ont vu se développer de nouvelles études sur la rencontre entre la France et le monde Atlantique. « Histoires émergentes de l'Atlantique français » s'articulera autour de la présentation de travaux de recherche originaux examinant divers aspects de l'Atlantique français d'environ 1400 à 1815.
