  The Paradigmatic City: Origins, Avatars, Frontiers

  Ao longo da história da civilização, as cidades oferecem-nos paradigmas. Elas personificam formas ideais de vida social; surgem como capitais de impérios, mas também como centros de uma identidade nacional, cultural e religiosa; são focos de desenvolvimento económico e político. Todas estas formas se revestem de particular interesse para este congresso. Muitas cidades podem ser consideradas paradigmáticas: Atenas ou Roma, na Antiguidade Clássica; Veneza e Florença, como reflexo das dinâmicas transformações do Renascimento; Londres, Paris e Berlim, como capitais da Modernidade; Nova Iorque, Rio de Janeiro, Tóquio ou Xangai, como epítomes das novas metrópoles em franco crescimento.

  Cities we don't talk about

  The cities of urban research have long been and still are widely today, the "great cities". But the realities of urban are not limited to them. In France for example the small and medium-sized cities house more than a quarter of the population. What does the observation of these cities bring to knowledge of the urban phenomenon? On the other hand, in the research devoted to major metropoles, it is often very specific neighborhoods that are the subject of attention of research as well as the media: social housing developments or the central gentrified neighborhoods. But more "ordinary" neighbourhoods are not often the focus. What does the observation of these neighbourhoods that we do not talk about "say" about the city? In other words, we would like to call on work that offers openings of the typologies of cities as the typologies of neighbourhoods that are subjacent to the discourse and debates on the urban.

  Rethinking Precarious Neighborhoods

  Works, paths and interventions

  The international conference "Rethinking Precarious Neighbourhoods" will be organised following two major thematics. First, it will reread and analyse pioneer works on constitution and meanings of precarious habitat, including how ideas and concepts have been mediatized. On a second hand, it will explore the new tendencies of research on these spatial entites and their developments, focusing on land tenure security.

  The heritage value of terroir-based economies as model of human development

  Promoting territories and terroirs by focusing on their agricultural heritage and/or their traditional agricultural products with high added value represents a constructive response to the threat of standardization and loss of identity. This process also provides a building block for a sustainable development respectful of cultural diversity and of their characteristics. It is for this reason that, nowadays, heritage preservation is fully taken into account in the cultural dimension of development.

  Les capitales : échelles, trajectoires, pratiques

  Revue Géocarrefour

  Siège du pouvoir, la ville capitale est un objet sous-étudié en tant que tel en géographie. Plus qu’un simple chef-lieu administratif, la capitale impose dans sa forme, son paysage urbain et par ses fonctions de commandement des spécificités dans le concert des réseaux urbains. L’étude des capitales se trouve en effet au croisement de plusieurs champs de recherche comme la géographie politique, la géographie urbaine, la géographie historique ou la science régionale. Les contributions visées par cet appel à communications pourraient aborder les trois thèmes suivants : le rapport entre les capitales et l’évolution géo-historique de leurs territoires, la position des capitales dans l’armature des échelons de pouvoir et les pratiques politiques et sociales qui traversent spécifiquement ces villes, en lien avec leur statut de capitale.
