  Utopias and collective dystopias in rural worlds: Contestation, experimentation, evasion

  "Civilisations", volume 70

  The investment in the rural world by anti-establishment communities is not new. The strategy of withdrawal and distancing from places where power is centralised has already been observed by sociologists, anthropologists and historians at different times and places around the world. People who decide to organise their daily lives and modes of production collectively are motivated by different aspirations. Utopian collectives are also defended by their protagonists as places for experimentation with societal alternatives, whether they concern modes of governance, agricultural techniques, gender relations or the organisation of work. The objective of this issue is to grasp their "creative" potential, as well as the social values and contradictions they promote. This issue is part of a multidisciplinary approach.

  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.
