Mississippi Delta Communities Facing Disappearing Land

"Still on the Map!" takes as its context the Mississippi Delta fifteen years after Hurricane Katrina and about five years after the commissioning of the major new "100-year" flood protection infrastructure. Expressed from its title -a statement of resistance/resilience chanted by many inhabitants during ecological events in Louisiana- this research project aims to describe the links and "attachments" (LATOUR, 2017) that different communities in the delta maintain with their geographical environment in a situation of strong ecological tipping point, integrating the natural and artificial infrastructures of the watershed into the definition of ecosystems as socio-political actors in their own right. In a context where the delta's land is gradually sinking into the sea, every hour the surface area of a football pitch is permanently flooded.

FASP (fiction à substrat professionnel) and beyond

Fictional and non-fictional narratives related to professional communities and specialized groups

Situated in the socio-discoursal and socio-cultural approaches to LSP studies (Belcher 2004), this international conference engages with the dual objective of pursuing enquiry related to studies in FASP (fiction à substrat professionnel), a genre of fiction identified and codified by Michel Petit (1999) and Shaeda Isani (2004), on the one hand and, on the other, exploring new avenues of reflection regarding other narrative forms, both fictional and non-fictional of potential interest to ESP studies.

Higher Education and Mobilities 2013

In a context of major change in both higher education and the academic world, transformations can be considered as multi-dimensional and include issues such as : high enrolment rates, increased social and cultural heterogeneity, development of and change in mobility (institutional, territorial, international), diversification of the offer of academic institutions (public and private, reconfiguration of the institutional landscape), changes in policy guidelines, such as the Bologna Process. The conference will focus on individual and group behaviours, strategies and trajectories which are strongly affected by and find themselves remodelled in the current context. We propose the term mobility as a central notion for apprehending the phenomena.

Debates, Polemics and Controversies in Early Modern Philosophy

Third International Conference of the European Society for Early Modern Philosophy

The general objective of the conference is to take an overview of the present historiographical situation regarding the study of controversies and to contribute to a reappraisal of the study of controversies in the history of early modern philosophy. It will aim not only at mapping the many philosophical controversies of the early modern period, but as well at making explicit the different methodological approaches that can be used to analyse controversies and at evaluating the different explanatory merits of those methodological approaches.

Conference, symposium - History

Marshall G.S. Hodgson, Islam and World History

Ce colloque permettra de revenir sur l'œuvre de G. S. Marshall Hodgson (1922-1968), un des plus grands historiens américains de l'Islam et par ailleurs un géographe de génie et un des premiers grands penseurs de l'histoire globale. Lors des quatre séances d'une demi-journée chacune, il sera question de l'apport de Hodgson comme islamologue ; de sa manière d'avoir « inventé » ou pratiqué l'histoire globale au sein du « Comittee on Social Thought » de l'Université de Chicago ; du caractère créatif en historiographie, notamment dans les années 1950 et 1960 ; et pour finir, l'état de l'histoire globale de nos jours.

Exo-lexical variables in monolingual and bilingual morphological processing

Exo-lexical variables in monolingual and bilingual morphological processing. Dates : 9 et 11 février 2012. Workshop dans le cadre de l'IMM15 (International Morphology Meeting), 9-12 février 2012, Vienne (Autriche). The question of how the lexicon is organized in terms of structural units and how these units interact with each other during lexical access and subsequently during morphological processing, has been a controversial field for a long time. The morpheme versus lexeme problem is still unsolved, but several pieces of psycholinguistic evidence have come to corroborate the hypothesis according to which the locus of morphological effects is not situated exclusively inside the lexical unit but should be extended to its environment. In fact, one of the difficulties of the study of morphology for alphabetic languages is that not only morphology is correlated with semantic, orthographic and phonological factors, but also that stems and inflected or derived words exist as free word-forms, entertaining different interrelations.

Immigration and Integration in Europe

Assessment and Prospects

Aujourd’hui la plupart des pays d’Europe accueillent des immigrés dont une partie conséquente provient de pays situés en dehors de l’Union européenne et en dehors du continent. L’avenir semble propice à la poursuite d’une forte immigration vers cette zone.Le monde d’aujourd’hui permet ainsi plus que jamais l’affirmation d’appartenances multiples, au risque de générer des contradictions dans les divers processus d’affiliation et de produire des tensions entre les minorités et les majorités qui les environnent. Dans un tel contexte, il apparaît nécessaire de penser l’immigration et l’intégration sur des bases théoriques différentes. Tel est l'objet de ce colloque.

Faire une ambiance – Creating an atmosphere

Colloque international

Qu’est ce qui fait une ambiance et comment se fabrique une ambiance ?Aujourd’hui, en architecture et en urbanisme, la stricte « maîtrise technique des ambiances » ne suffit plus. Dans la conception et la gestion de l’espace construit, ces questions débordent la simple juxtaposition des dispositifs techniques et réglementaires. De nouvelles pratiques de projet apparaissent De nouvelles connaissances transdisciplinaires sont aussi en plein essor. Au cours de cette rencontre, architectes, urbanistes, paysagistes, designers d’environnement, artistes, neuro-cogniticiens, philosophes et sociologues présenteront les nouveaux acquis, témoigneront d’expériences de création et poseront des interrogations ouvrant de nouvelles pistes de réflexion et de pratique. Ce colloque est le premier acte d’un réseau international interdisciplinaire et interprofessionnel qui intéresse déjà plus de soixante pays soucieux d’une architecture de qualité et d’un aménagement durable.
