The study of processes of adaptation of living organisms, from natural environments and human activity to environmental changes: a transdisciplinary approach

Ce séminaire vise à présenter les approches transdisciplinaires et multi-échelles mises en œuvre pour étudier les processus d’adaptation aux changements globaux, liés à la perte de biodiversité, aux risques environnementaux sur la santé et aux différents scénarios de changement climatique. Il s’agira également de montrer comment relier de façon proactive les questions scientifiques, économiques et sociales traitant de ces trois thématiques environnementales. L’idée étant au final d’aider les acteurs à concevoir des trajectoires de transition écologiques qui soient durables sur le plan environnementalmais dont les impacts socio-économiques et les coûts restent acceptables pour les acteurs.

Sport tourism and local sustainable development

International research network in sport tourism (IRNIST) conference 2018

Sport tourism has become the fastest growing sector of the tourism industry and is still thriving. What's more, even if, mega events (Olympic Games, FIFA World Cups) or other largescale events (World Championships in some sports, major tennis tournaments, etc.) had been drawing attention for a long time, it now seems to be obvious that small-scale events carry diverse benefits for their host towns too. The cost of their organization is lower, the required facilities are less expensive to construct and also to maintain after the event, and these can then be used by the local residents.

Expert knowledge, profane knowledge - JEC'SIC 2018

JEC'SIC 2018

Cette journée d’étude vise à interroger les interactions et les oppositions dans la mobilisation de connaissances théoriques et pratiques. Fin XIX^e et début XX^e siècle, le courant positiviste implique une très forte validation de la figure du savant déployant une connaissance théorique solide, au détriment de la figure de l’usager, le « profane » aux connaissances pragmatiques. A partir de la seconde moitié du XX^e siècle, ce modèle est progressivement remis en cause. Les associations de lutte contre le VIH redessinent notamment le rapport soignant/soigné. Il serait intéressant de s’interroger sur une remise en cause de la figure de l’expert qui se trouve ébranlée par les critiques dont elle fait l’objet. Des discours alternatifs portés par des personnes qui étaient jusque-là exclues ou mises à distance de l’espace public raisonné trouvent un écho nouveau.

The European electricity market and national energy policies

This workshop has the ambition to put together a group of researchers in political science, economic sociology and institutional economics who are interested in these interactions between the wholesale market and energy policies. The scientific challenge is to understand how our political, economic and legal institutions are supporting these frictions and are attempting to articulate these policies, and how articulations rely on economic expertise, political negotiation, legal interpretation, etc.

What role does dessalination have in adapting to climatic change?

La Société hydrotechnique de France (SHF), l’Association française pour l’eau l’irrigation et le drainage (AFEID), l’Académie de l’eau poursuivent leurs travaux sur les questions liées aux futures tensions sur la gestion de l’eau, en lien avec le changement climatique et les évolutions sur l’usage de l’eau d’ici 2050. Ces travaux soulignent l’importance de considérer la palette complète des outils d’adaptation, organisationnels et techniques, tant pour l’usage économe de l’eau que pour la sécurisation de la ressource. Le dessalement fait partie de cette palette d’outils et fera l’objet de ce colloque.

Visibility and invisibility of soil pollution in post-industrial territories

New perspectives for resilience and environmental justice?

Cet appel à articles pour la revue Géocarrefour a pour ambition d’interroger une composante cruciale de l’héritage industriel : la pollution des sols et le rapport que les sociétés locales entretiennent avec elle. Les acteurs des territoires anciennement industrialisés – y compris des métropoles aujourd’hui éloignées économiquement, socialement et symboliquement de l’industrie – sont confrontés à la pollution des sols dans la production et la gestion quotidiennes des espaces urbains.

Questioning current stakes of pharmaceuticals in Africa

We wish to discuss the multiple stakes surrounding pharmaceuticals in Africa today, with particular consideration of their markets, the political and economic actors which they mobilize, related instruments of regulation, control and competition, modes of health care in which they are placed, and finally their modes of consumption by individuals, without losing sight of the adaptation of "traditional medicines" to the evolution of economic models. Regulation, with its broad sense of norms actually at play, legislative, biomedical, technical and commercial, seems to transverse these various questions and will thus be widely considered. We anticipate proposals based on current research for presentation on the seven themes outlined below. Submissions can come from the various social sciences (anthropology, sociology, law, history, economy, geography, political sciences), as well as from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Although Africa is central to this discourse, presentations of studies from other continents will be considered with the aim of drawing links with Africa and enriching the discourse with current situations in African countries.

Competition and solidarity networks in contemporary South Asia's Labour Market

Hegemonic neo-liberal discourse assumes that free competition on all levels sparks a virtuous cycle of economic growth, which eventually trickles down to poor populations. Over the past three decades, the idea that restrictive labour laws hamper such competition has justified the deregulation of labour in the North and the un-regulation of labour in the South, notably in South Asia, where labour relations had already mainly been informal. Various sociologists have noted that intensified economic interactions and the rise of competition have made individuals more likely to activate their social networks to protect their individual interests. In this respect, to what extent do social networks shape relations in the diverse South Asian labour markets? How do new forms of social groupings reconfigure competition and solidarity relations? What forms of social interactions prevail, emerge and weaken in the market: chosen solidarity and inherited solidarity; inter-caste and intra-caste solidarity; class solidarity; corporate solidarity etc.?

"Flux, cahiers scientifiques internationaux Réseaux et territoires" journal - 100th issue

Les réseaux (de télécommunications et numériques, de transports, de fourniture d’eau ou d’énergie, d’assainissement ou de gestion des déchets...) participent fondamentalement de l’expérience et de la condition contemporaines. Vitesse et rapport au temps, relations de proximité et à distance, hygiène et confort, rapports à la dimension verticale de l’espace du souterrain au surplomb... ont été profondément affectés par la réticulation croissante des territoires, des organisations et des sociétés.
