  A pluridisciplinary approach to a construction technique in Europe

  Portant sur l’architecture rurale et urbaine en pan debois, ce colloque réunira des chercheurs européens afin de croiser les réflexions sur de nombreuses thématiques : approvisionnement des chantiers et économie de laconstruction, modes d’habitation, aspects structuraux, mise en œuvre des matériaux et décor seront ainsi comparés sur une longue période, s’étalant du XIII^e au XVIII^e siècle. Archéologues, historiens de la construction, ethnologues, chercheurs à l’Inventaire ou architectes, par la diversité de leur approche, éclaireront l’ensemble des caractéristiques et spécificités des pans de bois, mettant en évidence particularismes et savoir faire locaux, apparition de procédés novateurs ou au contraire perpétuation de certaines techniques.

  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.
