  O Portugal atlântico, europeu e lusófono: uma nação de portas abertas

  A presença dos Portugueses no mundo não é mais do que um reflexo de uma certa curiosidade tipicamente portuguesa, misturada com um empreendedorismo aventureiro, uma vontade inata de procurar descobrir onde nos leva o caminho. E, historicamente, o caminho levou-nos para todos os cantos do globo, desde o Oceano Atlântico e Mar Mediterrâneo ao Oceano Índico, do Mar do Sul da China até   ao Oceano Pacífico. Estas extensas viagens deram a oportunidade aos Portugueses de interagirem com culturas muito diferente. Mas deram-lhe também uma capacidade incomum para abrir as suas portas a outras culturas, outras formas de viver, de fazer negócios, de comunicar e de construir pontes e caminhos.

  Revolts and Transitions in the Arab World: Towards a New Urban Agenda?

  This international colloquium aims to discuss the urban dimension of the great changes in the Arab world, from the origins of the 2011 revolutionary episodes to the present experiences of democratisation, along with phases of political transition and socio-economic crisis in which states are still entangled. Our objective is to (re)consider processes of urbanisation and urban practices, by the yardstick of the political, economic and social issues relevant in the region since the beginning of the decade. Organized by the Pole "City and Sustainable Development" of the CEDEJ (http://www.cedej-eg.org/), this colloquium is also part of two ongoing research programs : - Sustainable City in the South Mediterranean (MeRsi project), co-funded by the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (Academic Agency of French-speaking countries)- Middle East Office and the CEDEJ; - SYSREMO: Global Geographies : Towards a regional system in the Middle East, funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (National Agency for Research), France (ESO-Rennes).

  Transforming South-East Asian Cities: a View from the Grassroots

  7th EuroSEAS Conference – 7th groupe "Environment, cities and housing", panel 72

  Based on empirical approaches, the aim of this panel is to analyze contemporary urban dynamics at the local scale in Southeast Asian cities. In particular we will address mechanisms of urban change, as they can be seen at the neighborhood level. With the ongoing transformations, both in city centers and in the peripheries, are there new forms of urban practices, of resistance? What is the role of the people at the grassroots in such transformations? These interactions can be read from such scales as the home, the street and the neighborhood. From this viewpoint, how can we consider urban oppositional processes, for instance a formal sector to an informal one, public actors to private ones, the authorities to citizens?

  Food production and catastrophes in Japan

  Géographie et Cultures special issue

  Ce numéro spécial se propose de tenter de comprendre comment la qualité des produits issus de l’agriculture japonaise est maintenue à travers les siècles malgré les menaces qui pèsent sur leur environnement. Les contributions ne se limiteront pas uniquement au nord-est du Japon, brutalement frappé par la succession d’évènements du 11 mars, mais considèreront sur le temps long l’ensemble du pays dans les rapports qu’il entretient avec une agriculture visant à fournir des produits de qualité dans un environnement imprévisible pouvant réduire à néant les efforts de générations.

  Metropolitan energy policies: the case of the Turkish cities

  Call for paper for a Seminar at the French Institute of Anatolian Studies (IFEA), co-organized by Eric Verdeil (Jean Moulin University in Lyon - UMR Environment City Corporation) and Jean-François Pérouse (Galatasaray University and IFEA). The report Energy and Urban Innovation (2010) by the World Energy Council underlines the fundamental role of cities in the energy transition and the interlocking of several series of actions, related to technology, economy and policy. It appears that the political and social practices are a major issue and justify an increased contribution of social sciences to the analysis of the implementation of these new policies. The seminar intends to address these issues in the case of large Turkish cities.
