    Seminar - Urban studies

    Business, consumption and territory

    Le commerce de détail est passé d’une fonction de distribution associée à la société de production à une fonction polyforme associée à la société de consommation, où la dimension ludique ou « distractive » prend une place d’importance. Les lieux du commerce se transforment sous l’effet conjugué des contraintes urbanistiques (urbanisme commercial), de la montée des nouveaux modes d’achat (e-commerce, m-commerce, t-commerce) et de la diversification des profils des consommateurs. L’objectif de ce séminaire est donc d’approfondir ces nouvelles problématiques liées au commerce de détail et à la consommation.

    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.

    Controversy and social acceptability of the projects of economic development

    Éthique publique journal

    Au cours des dernières années, un double phénomène autour des grands projets dits « de développement économique » a été observé. D’une part, les controverses socio-économiques et environnementales autour de ces projets se multiplient; d’autre part, elles représentent des enjeux de gestion pour les promoteurs, les gestionnaires du secteur public et privé, qui sont souvent liés à la création de l’acceptabilité sociale. Il existe ainsi une tension entre controverse et acceptabilité sociale, la première témoignant d’une volonté des groupes concernés de participer à la prise de décision, la seconde peut référer à la gestion du « rendre acceptable ». L’objet de ce numéro thématique de la revue Éthique publique est d’aborder, et éventuellement de démystifier, cette tension entre controverse et acceptabilité sociale en recueillant une variété de perspectives et de positions sur la question. Nous encourageons particulièrement des contributions visant au partage d’expériences.

    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.
