  Heritages values of 20th century architecture: what recognition?

  Critical review and international forward-looking vision

  The heritage values of 20th century architecture, whether they be cultural, social or technical, remain relatively complex to assess, and thus to share, due to lack of perspective and knowledge. The architectural and urban production of the second half of the 20th century was particularly prolific, sometimes remarkable, even exceptional. The energy, ecological transition, the changing habits and lifestyles are leading to the gradual transformation of this built heritage reaching to the end of its life cycle. Since the 1990-2000’s, a movement for heritage making has developed, which leads to many questions relating to possible and desirable developments of these architectural achievements. This  issue of  In  Situ  seeks  to  take a European or international critical perspective on the architecture of the 20th century and to highlight doctrines and positions adopted, practices and examples of schemes, policies or projects.

  Trust, transnationalisation and dispute resolution

  L'objectif de ce colloque est de rassembler des académiques de divers champs scientifiques afin de  cerner les enjeux contemporains de la confiance (et de son contraire, la méfiance) pour la régulation des rapports sociaux. De nouveaux problèmes de régulation, nés de la transnationalisation et de la réticularisation, témoignent de cette importance de la confiance. Ainsi en va-t-il des litiges familiaux (éloignement d’enfants, adoption), des litiges financiers et commerciaux, du recours au soft law, etc. – la pandémie actuelle en a tout récemment offert certains exemples. Nous voulons dès lors, à l’occasion de cette conférence, clarifier et conceptualiser le recours contemporain à la notion de confiance sur les plans sociologique, juridique et politique.

  Liv­ing un­der Em­pires: A View from Be­low

  What have Meso­pot­amian Em­pires ever done for their people? Track­ing the macro in the mi­cro

  In this workshop, we aim to take the view from below and investigate in what way imperial dynamics may have affected the lifeways of people in their territories. The basic questions of this workshop are: How did the empires of the Ancient Near East affect the lives of ordinary people in their realm?  To which extent was rural life and life in smaller towns permeated by imperial agents and policies, hence by imperial dynamics?

  Participatory budgeting in 2020: participation without democracy?

  Since the 2010s, participatory budgeting processes have not been the subject of many updated empirical studies, despite their multiplication. The present call invites to highlight and put into perspective the specificities of the most recent participatory budgets; in particular since 2014 in France, and more generally since the years 2010. We aim to gather papers that will allow us to renew the understanding of case studies, and the related general questions about the objectives of the organizers, the effects on participants, on public policies and democracy.

  Discourse, pratices and tools used in the migration/development relationship: circulation, innovation and resistance to the South

  Panel - APAD conference 2020

  How do texts, practices and tools related to the “migration and development” debate circulate? This panel offers to analyse the processes of imposition, translation or hybridization, along with “travelling models”, and the appropriation or resistance experiences of the different categories of actors involved in migration/development governance. We examine the transnational circulation of texts and narratives that have become references for development practitioners in the Global South; the performativity of technical and managerial instruments, case models and “good practices”; the changes in the intermediaries and brokers categories.
