  New contribution to Geoarchaeology

  Word archaeological congress 8

  Geoarchaeology, defined as the application of geosciences and geographical methods to prehistory, archaeology, and history, is now widely applied to study key subjects such as occupation patterns, territory and site exploitation, palaeoclimatic, palaeoenvironemental, and palaeogeographical changes, as well as anthropogenic impacts and system responses. The multidisciplinary and multiscalar dimensions of geoarchaeological approaches have encouraged continuous development and innovation of methods and approaches that have opened new possibilities for explorations in geographical sectors previously inaccessible, the development of large-scale data acquisitions and treatment, and also the development of microscopic scale analysis precision. This session will highlight global research in geoarchaeology with particular emphasis on innovative methods or cutting edge research using established approaches.

  Experts and governance: what expertise for what authority?

  Cette journée d’étude a donc pour ambition de travailler sur l’évolution du rôle des experts en politique du XIX^e au XXI^e siècle afin d’aborder les processus d’institutionnalisation selon une lecture moins linéaire. Nous invitons donc les participants à interroger des chronologies différenciées selon les champs d’expertises ou les domaines politiques. Jusqu’à quel point l’expert devient-il incontournable dans l’activité et la prise de décision politique ? L’expert peut-il être un vecteur de changement face au pouvoir politique ?

  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 ...).
