  Spatializing environmental rumors

  « Géocarrefour » Review

  This call for papers for the journal Géocarrefour aims to question rumors with a spatialized look. The sociologists’ works have already taken a keen interest in rumors, understanding this phenomenon from a spatial point of view implies thinking about what a territory does to rumors and what rumors do to territories. Rumors are at first sight unstable, elusive in their (spatial) materiality. However, their intangible dimension seems to be able to incarnate itself in the territories, to influence their representations, and even to modify the practices of the actors of the territory. The aim of the texts will be to clarify and interpret the territorial anchors of rumors: where do they come from, a very precise place or a set of places? What event caused it? Where did it happen? Is its discourse reported directly or indirectly? What representations of the territory do such rumors convey? The contributions will focus on rumors about environmental issues, which is not yet studied.

  European landscapes and the quality of life?

  Permanent European Conference for the Study of the Rural Landscape (PECSRL)

  We are pleased to announce the 28th session of the Permanent European Conference for the Study of the Rural Landscape (PESCRL), to be held on 3–8 September 2018 in Clermont-Ferrand and Mende, France. The PESCRL 2018 aims to progress discussion and learning within the community involved in landscapes and territorial development. The general theme encompasses the interactions between quality of landscapes, and quality of life, with a broad sense of this notion, including healthy environment, diversified and freely accessible, friendly social relationships, and good connections with cultural and heritage dimensions. The landscape occupies a key place because it is the visible result of human practices and activities inside a local area but it is also the vector of cultural and social values that contribute to create or reinforce a local identity.
