  Sociology and social change in the Maghreb ad Mediterranean

  Bulletin économique et social du Maroc (BESM)

  Dans ces moments de transitions, sociopolitiques, culturelles et démographiques que connaissent le Maghreb et le pourtour méditerranéen, le rôle que doivent jouer les sciences sociales est plus que jamais décisif. Malgré les écarts survenus par la mise en place de l’Union européenne, les sociétés maghrébines s’inscrivent de plus en plus dans cette dynamique qui la lie d’une façon plurielle à cette méditerranée pleine de promesses.

  Art Markets and New Territories for Art in Cities of the Global South

  Special issue of the Journal of Géographie et Cultures

  This issue of Géographie et cultures proposes to explore the emergence of art markets in the metropoles of the Global South and related phenomena. It will investigate both the drivers of these new regional dynamics, in particular via the circulation of art works and stakeholders in the art world, and their local impact in terms of cultural and urban policy, the urban renewal of previously marginal neighborhoods, and the emergence of new public spaces or even new social norms and hierarchies.

  1st interdisciplinary encounters on animal work

  Animals are working too: such is the inconoclastic proposal that will be at the heart of the oral presentations and discussions of the First interdisciplinary Colloquium on Animal Work which will take place on 8th and 9th april 2016 in Paris. Indeed, millions of domestic animals participate in human activities that fall within the scope of human labour. And without their participation, or even with their collaboration, such work could not be achieved. Yet animal work often remains an invisible aspect of human societies, and is rarely studied by scholars.

  Witchcraft, spiritual worldviews and the co-production of development knowledges, practices and rationalities

  Special issue of Third World Thematics, a new sister journal of Third World Quarterly

  What roles do spiritual, witchcraft and magical worldviews play in 21st Century development agendas? Responding to this central query, this special issue seeks to engage interdisciplinary scholarship on the variegated means through which these practices, worldviews and/or ontologies intersect, impact and (re)shape contemporary development concerns, particularly in the co-production of knowledges and practices of development at a range of scales. In this special issue we seek to explore the rapidly changing contexts in which contemporary development knowledges evolve, and in doing so, disrupt conceptions about where valid knowledge resides and how development challenges are framed.

  Zone: the space of a life on the margins

  Espaces et sociétés

  While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of  experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).
