    RhônaVel'eau post-doc position

    Promoting Rhône Valley heritage and the challenge from territories, actors and users

    La mission principale du (de la) titulaire de ce post-doc sera de réaliser une enquête auprès des usagers de la ViaRhôna (entretiens exploratoires et questionnaires) au niveau de trois secteurs du Rhône (amont, médian et aval). Cette enquête visera notamment à caractériser les pratiques de la Viarhôna et à qualifier les perceptions et les représentations que les usagers de la véloroute associent au fleuve et à ses paysages. Il s’agira d’une part de déterminer quels sont les éléments qui ont, à leurs yeux, de la valeur et quels sont ceux qui méritent d’être préservés et valorisés, en lien avec leur expérience personnelle du fleuve. D’autre part, il s’agira de montrer en quoi leur expérience de la ViaRhôna a pu modifier les représentations qu’ils associent au fleuve Rhône, leurs savoirs tout autant que leurs pratiques fluviatiles.

    How to be young in an old people's world

    La société française entretient un rapport ambivalent à la jeunesse : elle exerce un véritable pouvoir d’attraction, pourtant, les difficultés des jeunes à accéder à l’autonomie et aux responsabilités sont avérées. Des témoignages et différentes approches de chercheurs permettront de s’interroger sur ce qui constitue une génération et sur l'existence – ou pas – d'une fracture intergénérationnelle ou intragénérationnelle.

    Social Factors and Cross-cultural Aspects of Culinary and Eating Behaviors and Practices

    9th International Research Symposium - Institut Paul Bocuse

    The ninth edition of the Institut Paul Bocuse International Research Symposium aims at sharing the ongoing fundamental and applied research on the Social Factors and Cross-cultural Aspects of Culinary and Eating Behaviors and Practices. A series of talks by international scientists from various disciplines will address the most recent scientific advances in the understanding of: i) the social factors of food behaviors and preferences in various populations, ii) the key factors involved in the evolution and spatial diffusion of cross-cultural aspects of food practices and behaviors. The applied perspectives will be considered as well: R&D experts will discuss how they take the social cross-cultural differences into consideration in the development of new food offers or new services to international clients.

    Witchcraft, spiritual worldviews and the co-production of development knowledges, practices and rationalities

    Special issue of Third World Thematics, a new sister journal of Third World Quarterly

    What roles do spiritual, witchcraft and magical worldviews play in 21st Century development agendas? Responding to this central query, this special issue seeks to engage interdisciplinary scholarship on the variegated means through which these practices, worldviews and/or ontologies intersect, impact and (re)shape contemporary development concerns, particularly in the co-production of knowledges and practices of development at a range of scales. In this special issue we seek to explore the rapidly changing contexts in which contemporary development knowledges evolve, and in doing so, disrupt conceptions about where valid knowledge resides and how development challenges are framed.

    The adaptation of cultural policies in the digital age - between convergence and conflict

    Les technologies numériques offrent de multiples opportunités pour la démocratisation de l’accès à la culture, mais elles posent aussi de nombreux défis en termes de promotion et de protection des cultures nationales et locales. Ce colloque vise à interroger la capacité des États à accompagner et à réguler les écosystèmes numériques par des politiques publiques appropriées afin d’encourager la diversité de l’offre artistique et culturelle ainsi que d’en renforcer l’accessibilité. L’objectif est de dresser un panorama des mesures/stratégies et actions concrètes menées par les gouvernements nationaux et locaux pour adapter les structures traditionnelles et les principes-directeurs de leurs politiques culturelles à l’ère du numérique.

    Call for papers - Europe

    Identities, Democracy, Borders

    Within Europe, a relatively indeterminate contours’ space, efforts to integrate and to bound the people and the political systems have yielded tangible results in political, economic, social and cultural matters. The objectives were consensual, such as to ensure lasting peace, economic growth and global security, as well as the freedom to act, to undertake and to think. Yet some may think that the integration has been made too hastily – especially to the east, creating new differentiations: East/West, adding to an older North/South. This analytical prism however is reducing because it largely ignores internal disparities in most national territories.
