The cities of urban research have long been and still are widely today, the "great cities". But the realities of urban are not limited to them. In France for example the small and medium-sized cities house more than a quarter of the population. What does the observation of these cities bring to knowledge of the urban phenomenon? On the other hand, in the research devoted to major metropoles, it is often very specific neighborhoods that are the subject of attention of research as well as the media: social housing developments or the central gentrified neighborhoods. But more "ordinary" neighbourhoods are not often the focus. What does the observation of these neighbourhoods that we do not talk about "say" about the city? In other words, we would like to call on work that offers openings of the typologies of cities as the typologies of neighbourhoods that are subjacent to the discourse and debates on the urban.

In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

Littératures grises et pouvoirs : méthodes et pratiques
Le pouvoir emprunte bien souvent des itinéraires sous-jacents, cachés, inconsistants. En deçà de ses manifestations visibles, en deçà des discours officiels élaborés dans des formes codifiées et institutionnalisées, bien avant qu’elle ne s’énonce ni ne s’annonce en tant que telle, en théorie comme en pratique, toute forme de pouvoir est le résultat de multiples processus d’élaboration. Dans des mesures variables selon les époques et les lieux, ces travaux de l’ombre ont laissé des traces dans les archives d’État ou dans d’autres fonds. Nous aimerions orienter notre réflexion non pas vers la définition théorique d’un pouvoir en tant que tel, visible et identifiable, mais au contraire vers la mise en lumière de la multiplicité de ses expressions indirectes. Cette journée d’études a donc pour objectif d’articuler une réflexion transdisciplinaire sur la production des discours qui conduisent à la mise en récit du pouvoir. L’histoire, la géographie, l’urbanisme, la sociologie, l’anthropologie ou encore la philosophie doivent être associées à une entreprise de réévaluation des possibilités épistémologiques offertes par les « littératures grises ».

Villes et conflits : hier, aujourd’hui, demain
Journée des jeunes américanistes 2015
Les conflits interrogent et mettent en débat les manières de faire et de vivre en ville. Ils offrent une entrée pour l’analyse des logiques d’action des acteurs et permettent d’explorer les rapports de pouvoir, les représentations sociales, les dimensions politiques de l’urbain. Les revendications des groupes sociaux et les dispositifs de gouvernances – telles la participation et la démocratie - sont particulièrement bien mis en relief par l’analyse des conflits. Les approches diachroniques révèlent les objets et les enjeux majeurs des luttes et mettent en évidence les processus et les ruptures qui caractérisent les dynamiques urbaines. Interroger les conflits contemporains (mobilisations globales, mouvement des places, usage des réseaux sociaux…) depuis les Amériques apporterait aussi des éclairages sur les dynamiques contemporaines de la région.

Revue « Tiers Monde » – section Varia
The journal Revue Tiers Monde publishes outcomes of research on development studies. Theoretical views and case studies are published within special editions or along with diverse papers, spontaneously submitted to the Editorial board (section "Varia"). We are calling for this last type of papers. There is no specified theme, except that the articles must study development matters.

Conference, symposium - History
Transnational, Transhistorical Perspectives
This international conference on carnival will bring together historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to explore the links between carnival and politics as showcased by carnivals in Europe, North America, the Caribbean and Latin America. The purpose of the meeting will be twofold: (1) discuss the evolution of "carnival studies" since the publication of Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World fifty years ago; (2) use case studies covering a wide range of geographical areas and historical periods (from the Renaissance to the 21st century) to produce a coherent synthesis of the relationship between carnival and politics.

Railway Stations Intermodal mobility and urban development
In many countries, railway stations emerge as focal point for urban projects. Important investments go along with larger urban regeneration projects. The new attractiveness of the station may be explained by the recognition of its architectural and patrimonial values (especially when they are old and centric), but also by their growing importance as integrated transit hubs. A way of addressing the future of intermodal mobility consist in analysing, firstly, the way by which intermodality reshapes at the same time the place and the traveller experience. A second part of the call questions the station and its surrounding (urban places, neighbourhood) as singular places in metropolitan systems.

Islands and borders into modern and contemporary Mediterranean
III international seminar "Itinera. New perpectives on historical and geographical research"
El Seminario de 2015 tiene como hilo conductor los espacios insulares y de frontera en las edades Moderna y Contemporánea, así como las sociedades en que se asientan, en el contexto mediterráneo desde una perspectiva de la larga duración e interdisciplinariedad. El encuentro constituye una ocasión para reflexionar sobre el tema de la frontera como lugar de enccuentro, travesía y tránsito; al igual que sobre el rol de las islas y de las sociedades insulares, bien como frontera, bien como nodo en el seno de una tupida red de transmisión de saberes. La pretensión del Seminario es la de superar, también desde el punto de vista geográfico, el concepto de aislamiento, proponiendo, por el contrario, el de un sistema de islas en el Mediterráneo.
