Review Études Caribéennes n° 38, 2017
This issue of the Revue Études Caribéennes (Journal of Caribbean Studies) addresses the meaning of travelling and tourism in the context of a globalized economy and culture and the turbulent geopolitical changes occurred in recent decades. Is Utopia, a concept of utmost importance in the genesis and purpose of tourism, still a relevant topic today? This concept has a profound influence on our behavior toward the Other and Elsewhere. However, it is necessary to question the very meaning of utopias in the world of travel, especially if they are primarily considered as tourist acts of consuming places. Beyond the initial fantasy and vain exoticism, are imagination and dreams still relevant topics in an era of hyperconnectivity when planning our vacations, adventures or expeditions?

The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance
Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

Migrants and access to the city
Revue « Espaces et Sociétés »
Recently, the scale of migration has generated strong images and speech that on one hand incite an urge to situate these events in academic debates, and also to participate in their objectification. This issue of E & S concerns access to the city by migrants, considering such access as an intermediate step between the flow of migration and registration (one time, temporary or permanent) of people in specific spaces. We expect proposals from those hoping to analyze the materiality of access points, technologies that accompany these processes, objects that materialize migratory situations, and finally, the temporal dimension of space. Empirical research from so-called “developing” countries will be valued highly and will be conducive to the renewal of analytical and operational framework categories, often forged in the North.

Financing the city. City transfers under financial stress
Revue « Espaces et sociétés »
Funding for the city has been the subject of much attention over the last 15 years. The rise of institutional investors around the pan-securitization of real estate, and the development of private public partnerships in a context of shrinking public resources are phenomena that have overturned ways of doing things. This issue does not aim to analyze new models of financing urbanization as such, but to study the consequences. Several lines of work can be evoked which are all supported by the analysis of social and spatial effects of the ways of funding the city today: the effects of globalized city funding, concentration of players, modes of financing and the standardization of products, the development of new forms of public-private partnership and logical investment locations, the transitional funding arrangements for more sustainable cities or competitive cities through major partnership operations, are questions that can be addressed.

New flows and spatial relations
Peripheral spaces within globalisation
La mondialisation contemporaine présente un visage inédit par bien des aspects. Elle modifie les relations entre les espaces, les institutions, les entreprises et les individus et entraîne notamment une transformation radicale des liens des périphéries avec d'autres lieux. Les flux de toutes natures que ces relations déclenchent, les stratégies des acteurs qui sont au centre de ces dynamiques, les territoires institutionnels, politiques ou identitaires que construisent ou renforcent ces reconfigurations et les dissymétries sociales et économiques qu’elles génèrent ont été étudiés par le programme collectif de recherche Périmarge : « Périphéries, marges : interpréter les relations aux centres dans la mondialisation », financé par l’ANR sur l’appel « Métamorphoses des sociétés : Inégalité-Inégalités ».

Memories and identities in question in sub-Saharan Africa and in Latin America
L’Afrique subsaharienne et l’Amérique latine sont liées de façon historique par le commerce triangulaire qui a fait déporter vers l’Amérique des millions d’individus arrachés à leurs terres ancestrales. Cette transplantation sur un continent nouveau, mal vécu par les esclaves, a permis de donner naissance à une culture spécifique, résurgence de la culture africaine et d’autres formes de cultures avec lesquelles les esclaves ont été mis en contact. Ce colloque entend donc questionner des notions de mémoire(s) et d'identité(s) en Afrique subsaharienne et en Amérique latine.

New ports, pioneer ports (XIVth-XXIth centuries)
The Conference will address four topics: the creation of a port, the major enlargement of an existing port, the rapid transformation of a small port into a big harbour, or the temporary establishment of a port for economic or military reasons. The analysis includes commercial harbours and naval bases, as well as mixed ports. The concept of an “Atlantic port” refers to its location on the Atlantic Ocean or its extensions in the Channel, the North Sea and the Caribbean Sea. This includes the ports of the European, the African and American Atlantic littoral, as well as the metropolitan European and the African and American ports both as colonial ports and after their independence.

The rural Renaissance from one century to the next?
Rural study days 2016 - 25 years of rural dynamics
La parution de « La renaissance rurale » et la naissance du laboratoire « Dynamiques Rurales » sont quasiment concomitantes. Un quart de siècle plus tard, quel sort faisons-nous à « La renaissance rurale » ? L’objectif n’est pas tant de reprendre la polémique entre les tenants de la crise rurale et de sa disparition programmée, opposés aux tenants d’une renaissance rurale aux accents parfois localistes et militants. Il s’agit plutôt de revenir sur le fond, sur le projet qui a guidé l’ouvrage : une tentative de synthèse des réflexions des années 1970 et 1980 en vue de refonder l’objet « rural », de donner les grands axes d’un modèle de compréhension d’un rapport société – espace. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui de ce projet ? Dans l’objectif de construire un bilan et des perspectives, nous proposons de centrer le colloque sur des points de controverse qui ont animé les études rurales durant ces dernières décennies.

Espaces et sociétés
In a general context of growing social inequalities, this issue reviews the role that housing plays in the system of inequalities, on the one hand, and in the multiple variations of housing inequalities, on the other. Faced with growing tensions in the housing market, we seek contributions that capture the changes at work in a field well-trodden by urban studies. Produced by class domination, racism and gender, how are today's inequalities intersect in analyses of access and housing conditions? How are inequalities produced in housing, who are the actors, what is the role of public policy? Beside typical situations, we encourage contributors to provide analyses of minority forms of housing as "social fact park" or de facto social housing in the private sector and existing housing stock and via third parties. Finally, this Call for Papers asks what are the consequences of housing inequality on the (re)production of inequality, and the changing classificatory function of housing.

Zone: the space of a life on the margins
Espaces et sociétés
While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).
