Energy transition and urban transition in China
The case of atmospheric pollution
En Chine, les dégradations écologiques majeures dues à la stratégie de développement nationale imposent aujourd’hui une contrainte forte au modèle de croissance. C’est avant tout la question de l’énergie qui focalise notre attention lors de cette journée. Nous partons de l’hypothèse que l’économie chinoise est entrée dans un processus de transition énergétique, entendue comme « un projet normatif dont l’objectif est de tendre vers un modèle énergétique durable » (Chabrol et Grasland, 2014, p. 1). En Chine, la forte présence de l’État, mais aussi la libéralisation progressive de l’économie, incitent à analyser la transition énergétique sous un double point de vue : celui de la gouvernance énergétique d’une part, et celui des logiques économiques à l’œuvre d’autre part.

Experience, knowledge and policy on the fringes of global health
Ce numéro thématique interroge le phénomène social particulier qu’est la maladie chronique en prenant en considération des contextes extrêmement variés. Il ne s’agit pas d’un « sud » considéré comme homogène, mais de situations qui sont traversées par des contextes et des enjeux diversifiés qu’il sera nécessaire de préciser afin de comprendre en quoi et comment le statut « négligé » des maladies chroniques affecte les sujets malades. L’objectif est d’appréhender les formes et temporalités de la maladie chronique en partant du constat d’une certaine « négligence » dans l’agenda de la santé globale, impliquant des manques d’infrastructures, de savoirs et de visibilité.

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.?

Indonesian Exceptionalism: Values and Morals of the Middle Ground
‘Exceptionalism’ is a borrowed political term that implies that a country or entity is somehow special. Indonesia is not small. Indonesia is not poor in cultures, religions, society, or ethnic groups. Indonesia is not unimportant economically, regionally, or politically. Historically, Indonesia has always been an exceptional place. Indonesia as ‘imagined community’ continues to be an ongoing process. Various questions that can be raised include: What are relevant Indonesian values and morals for maintaining Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global world? What is religion’s contribution to forming agreed values and ethics? To what extent is there an Indonesian contribution in balancing Islamic values and democratic practices? How do religious values impact the ethics of state governance?

The associative sector in Lebanon: economies and networks of dependency
Civil Society Review
The polysemic nature of the concept of civil society refers to a diversity of social actors other than the state, and to multiform practices, strategies, and modes of action. This has lead to a myriad of publications by practitioners and academics. This call for papers does not seek to further investigate the associative sector in Lebanon conceptually nor in practice. We rather seek to critically explore the underlying intricate relations, economies, and networks of dependency, as identified by actors.

Since 1998 the “Association des jeunes études indiennes” (AJEI) organizes an annual workshop in India with the support of international and local partners. This year, we propose a three-day event in Goa to debate the question of the “commons” in contemporary South-Asia. The workshop will be structured around different thematic sessions with the presentations of the works of the participants, a field visit and an open discussion on fieldwork methods. One of the main objective of the event is to give the opportunity to the participants to exchange on their works and their experience, to get feedbacks from senior researchers and to build relationships, reinforcing thus the strong international network of researchers on South Asia.

Visions and Experiences of Urban Change in the Second World
This conference examines socialist cities at their points of entry or exit from the socialist project. The theme of transition into and out of socialism and the (un-)making of socialist cities serves as entry points into broader discussions about the specificity of urban change in the Second World and its relationship to similar currents in the global North and South. The conference examines the content of the socialist city – its “ins and outs” – from power grids and housing stocks to museums and places of worship at these points of transition.

The production and circulation of cultural assets (2016-2017)
The case of Middle Eastern and North African countries
Financé par le labex ICCA en partenariat avec le CESSP et le Labsic, ce groupe de recherche est articulé autour d’un séminaire annuel et de manifestations scientifiques régulières. Il s’agit de favoriser la création d’un réseau international de chercheurs et de professionnels pour initier, développer et diffuser des travaux sur les productions culturelles et médiatiques (cinéma, informations, livres, programmes télévisés, musiques, etc.) dans les pays du Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord. Son objectif est de saisir leurs enjeux sociaux, économiques, politiques, religieux et culturels en se focalisant sur les spécificités des espaces nationaux et les processus de circulation des productions et des pratiques.
