Health: New Challenges for Development
« Revue internationale des études du développement », n°247 (2021-3)
A call for papers on health and development cannot but mention the current pandemic crisis. While international aid in the health sector has been rather stagnant of late, the Covid-19 pandemic could put health and infectious diseasesback at the heart of long-run priorities, particularly in countries of the South. While the African continent remains relatively unaffected, low-income countries share several characteristics: fragile and poorly funded healthcare systems that currently seem to be coping nonetheless, as well as a significant burden due to endemic health problems, including non communicable diseases. An integrated, unified approach to public and environmental health at different scales therefore seems more necessary than ever, especially in the context of climate change. This global crisis therefore provides new opportunities to better interlink the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and rethink the health and development nexus.

Population, Time, Territories (CIST2020)
The latest in the series of Collège international des sciences territoriales (FR2007 CIST) conferences, this 5th international conference spotlights the concept of population as a central issue in the debates within territorial sciences. The concept of population, which is central to demography and biology and more marginal for other disciplines, involves the grouping together of individual entities. Depending on the particular approach used, the preferred criterion for aggregation will be the social, territorial, biological, etc., with timescales and observation scales varying accordingly. Linking together population, time and territory in a transdisciplinary and international perspective is the main goal of this conference; beyond the fact that it represents a theoretical and methodological breakthrough, the diversity of the proposed thematic sessions is a clear sign that this trio is at the heart of contemporary issues.

"Mitad del mundo" - the Equator
Images of the Equator - international exports / Equatorial representations internationally
Les tortues des Îles Galapagos, les têtes réduites de Jivaro, les neiges éternelles du Chimborazo, les chapeaux Panama… Autant de symboles mondialement connus qui ont pour point commun de venir d'Équateur. Ils interrogent les dynamiques de circulations internationales des idées, des personnes, des objets, questionnent l'exportation de la culture équatorienne à travers le monde et les processus de construction d'imaginaires sur l'Équateur dans le monde. À l'inverse, ils invitent également à s'intéresser à la manière dont ils sont perçus en Équateur, loin des arènes internationales. Ces dynamiques seront l'objet de la journée d'étude consacrée à l'Équateur et le monde. Comment l'Équateur s'expose sur la scène internationale ? Comment des mouvements internationaux ou transnationaux sont-ils appropriés, traduits, adaptés en Équateur ? Comment circulent les objets et les personnes équatorien.nes à travers le monde ? Afin de répondre à ces questions, nous proposons d'organiser la journée en trois tables rondes.

Borders in the Americas – Integration, Security and Migrations
In the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, many analysts and experts argued that the world had reached the “end of history” [Fukuyama, 1992] and that regional and local organizations and free trade agreements (among which the European Union appeared to be a model of integration) signaled the emergence of a world without borders. Yet, thirty years later, the reality seems to be altogether different. Today, it is clear that “borders are back”. Whether these borders are challenged, violated, transcended, consolidated, or integrated, they remain necessarily at the heart of the political debate. This symposium will focus on a specific geographic area: the Americas.

What happened with the LGBTQI+ "rights revolution" in Latin America?
Nr. 99 - Cahiers des Amériques latines
Ten years after Argentina's emblematic "same-sex marriage" law, this issue of Cahiers des Amériques Latines examines the notion of a "rights revolution" [Encarnación, 2016] and takes stock of the situation of sexual and gender minorities in the region. Three lines of research seem essential to propose a critical reflection on the reality of sexual and gender minorities and to evaluate the LGBTQI+ "rights revolution" in Latin America.

5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium
This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

Crossing borders and Latin America
Nous souhaiterions réfléchir lors de ce colloque sur l’Amérique latine transfrontalière autant du point de vue des échanges et des apports mutuels, littéraires et artistiques, que des enjeux concernant les différents facteurs (culturels, géopolitiques, environnementaux, économiques) ayant une incidence dans la construction-destruction de murs et le contrôle des flux (personnes, capital, marchandises).

Conference, symposium - America
1820-2020
Tout au long de son histoire et en particulier au XIXe siècle, la ville de Bordeaux a été le point de départ de milliers d’émigrants vers l’Amérique latine. Dans le sens contraire, à partir du Mexique, commerçants, financiers, diplomates et étudiants, artistes et écrivains ont voyagé puis laissé des traces, des textes et des images diverses sur l’expérience vécue dans le pays d’accueil, l’expérience de l’identité étrangère, la xénophobie ou l’extranéité. Les correspondances, les journaux de bord, les écrits intimes ou publics sont les principales sources explorées à l’occasion du colloque comme expressions d’expériences individuelles et collectives transatlantiques entre le Mexique, l’Amérique centrale et l’Europe.

Social sciences debating health and discussing care
Euro-american perspectives and transatlantic dialogs
Second temps de la mise en place d'un groupe de travail international, ce colloque souhaite continuer d'explorer la santé et la notion, tantôt corollaire tantôt contrepoint, de soin, dans les espaces américains. Il s'inscrit dans l'axe santé de la Maison des sciences de l'homme-Paris Nord pour l'année 2020. Ce colloque vise à interroger la notion de santé et ses enjeux sociaux, dans les Amériques et au-delà. Elle souhaite également questionner les processus de circulation, et leurs effets de réception, de l'héritage au contre-sens éventuel, comme dans le cas de la notion de violence obstétricale par exemple. Si les domaines de l'obstétrique, la santé publique et la psychiatrie sont particulièrement attendus, les contributions peuvent aborder divers autres domaines.

Contributions of articles for electronic journal Verbum et Lingua
The electronic magazine Verbum et Lingua: Didáctica, lengua y cultura will dedicate its 16th edition (July-December 2020) to the topic of Chican@s studies. Grosso modo, for Ornelas, Ramírez and Padilla (1975), the Chican@s studies have made a great effort to integrate four main constructs: race, class, culture and gender/sexuality. These constructs are present in the work of different artists who express their ideology in order to politicize and lead their community(ies) to change. According to Macias (2018), the Chican@s field of study seeks to make research holistic and multidisciplinary, as well as inclusive, comparative, grounded, up-to-date and critical. At the same time, it seeks to apply the results to social justice, education, as well as to the change of the global Chican@ communities.

Towards social, racial and environmental justice in the Americas
La compréhension des diverses formes de domination (appartenance sociale, raciale, identité de sexe et de genre) dans les Amériques requiert de prendre également en compte le racisme environnemental. Par exemple, les projets urbains les plus polluants sont fréquemment concentrés dans les quartiers accueillant des populations pauvres, des minorités ethniques ou des membres de peuples indigènes. Dans une approche interdisciplinaire, ce colloque veut mettre en lumière des perspectives explorant les convergences possibles entre sources et objets de recherches.

Health from an environmental perspective: public policies and citizen mobilisation
Issue 19 of the journal Amnis proposes to address this connection between health and the environment. In addition to the fact that the recent fire at the Lubrizol chemical storage plant in Rouen on the night of 25–26 September 2019 confirms the importance of this topic (which was decided on four months ago), there are three good reasons why Amnis should examine the impact of the environmental crisis on health. First, tackling this subject gives the journal the opportunity to continue its reflection on the key political and social questions facing contemporary societies. Second, the subject lends itself particularly well to multidisciplinary interpretations, which Amnis has been committed to encouraging since its creation. Third, the principle of social responsibility in research, which has always inspired its various contributors, can be showcased with this subject. The aim will be to take an objective look at the issues associated with the impact of the environmental crisis on health within a context in which public discourse tends to blur the boundaries and delegitimise the types of action taken by some social actors.

Vine, wine and education from the 18th century to today
The vine, the wine and the education are themes which appear distant and which nevertheless can be gathered around the training program and the places of apprenticeship (high schools wine, universities, schools of oenology ...) and school knowledge through disciplines such as geography, biology, art ...; This does not prevent the School from also fighting against addictions, alcoholism and its excesses. It must be said that vine and wine have always brought people together, constituting a real cultural heritage spread all over the world, wine being then a cultural and societal cultural reference. Thus, this theme could be studied around three main axes by involving several disciplines from the Humanities and Social Sciences but also Sciences and literary and artistic disciplines.

Demobilising the popular classes
Espaces et sociétés Journal
Dans ce numéro d'Espaces et Sociétés, nous souhaitons analyser la dimension spatiale des obstacles et des stratégies visant à empêcher la mobilisation des classes populaires, que ce soit avant ou après que celle-ci prenne forme. La notion de démobilisation permet d’interroger de concert les pratiques qui contraignent ou empêchent l’émergence de l’action collective et les formes symboliques et matérielles visant à entraver et réprimer les mobilisations. On peut penser par exemple, d’un côté, aux stratégies de stigmatisation ou de délégitimation, aux pratiques paternalistes, clientélistes ou de cooptation ou, de l’autre, aux modes de répression, directs ou indirects, policiers ou judiciaires.

Tourism and international labels. Protection and commercialization
UNESCO's labels (World Heritage, Biosphere Reserves, Creative Cities, Global Geoparks) have been created, amongst other reasons, to ensure the sustainable development of areas with special characteristics. Each label has specific objectives, be it conservation or protection, education, or networking of these areas. While these labels have not been designed to contribute to the commercialization of tourism, many destinations enjoy the prestige, reputation, and guarantee of quality or exceptionality associated with these labels to attract visitors, residents, and investors. Some site managers also use these labels to educate residents and visitors about their specific characteristics. The use of these international labels in a marketing context therefore poses a large number of challenges, both from practical and theoretical points of view.
