  Call for papers - Geography

  Political Informality, Power and the Other Side of Urban Space

  Online journal « L'espace politique » n° 29 (2-2016)

  This issue of L’Espace politique aims at understanding the roles and meanings of informal practices in city governance and urban life. How does the diversity of urban power structures emerge and consolidate, in informal and sometimes illegal ways? What influence does it have on the production, administration and control of urban space? This special issue is at the junction of two academic traditions: urban studies and the studies on informality. We encourage contributions based on fieldwork in cities, which will be the basis for comparison between several local case studies.

  Call for papers - Urban studies

  Urban worlds in China

  Urbanités journal

  En janvier 2016, la revue Urbanités a décidé de continuer la réflexion sur les mondes urbains chinois, entamée en 2013 avec sa série d’entretiens et d’articles sur la Chine urbaine. Des propositions d’articles, de compte-rendus de lecture ou de portfolios, quels que soient les thèmes ou terrains de recherche, sont attendus. Nous considérons que les mondes urbains situés hors de Chine continentale (Hong-Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Diaspora chinoise) mais marqués par des dynamiques politiques, culturelles, économiques et sociales liées à la présence d’acteurs ou de capitaux chinois font partie intégrante du monde chinois, et ont à ce titre leur place dans ce numéro spécial.

  Sociology of suburbanization

  Special edition Revue française de sociologie

  In France, in the United States and in other developed countries, even in many developing countries, these suburban areas have been the topics of numerous studies, including the reasons and the consequences of urban spread. Of course, sociologists take part in these studies, even though the main sociological concerns and debates are not yet to the fore. This call for papers aims to mobilize the community of sociologists by asking four important questions : What is the subject under discussion ? What are the suburban lifestyles ? What are the underlying factors of suburbanization ? What changes have there been in urban sociology ?
