  Formal and informal networks of migrant women and men in settlement process (14th-19th centuries)

  Panel at the European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC)

  This panel aims to study settlement patterns of migrants, according to a gendered approach. It aims to bring together scholars working on migration and settlement dynamics, by focusing on the extension and quality of relationships that newcomers could develop in the new environment and by highlighting differences between men and women. In addition it aims to investigate how these ties influenced, successfully or not, their settlement process: the daily life, the research of a job or a house, the access to credit networks, to poor relief or to other urban resources etc...

  Migrant and the City

  Urban Studies and Practices Journal (JUSP), Special issue

  Cities worldwide are major magnets for migrants. Urban environments shape migrants’ experiences in a new locale, whereas migrants contribute to increasing diversity of the city. Due to its extreme complexity and dynamic nature, the reality under the “migrant and the city” interconnection is rarely considered in theoretical accounts, empirical methodologies, or  practical interventions in its full diversity. This special issue of the JUSP aims to harness the elusive reality of this interconnection by bridging both disciplinary and theory-practice gaps and inviting scholars and practitioners to share their reflections on the topic. In this issue, we are especially interested in creating a multifaceted account of integration (or assimilation, incorporation, acculturation) as one of the ways to talk about this interconnection.

  Journée d'étude - Études urbaines

  Urban renewal projects in Europe

  The colloquium will try to highlight two issues about urban renewal projects, shared by all European countries. Who’s benefiting from urban projects? How is it possible to renew in a context of crisis? The first day will inquire both the place left to or/and taken by the citizens in urban projects, the targets of these projects and their social impacts. The second day will assess both the financial crisis impacts on governance, especially on the place of private and public sectors, and the environmental constraints to be taken into account in urban renewal.

  Le peuplement : catégorie insaisissable des politiques urbaines ?

  Le peuplement, entendu comme action, plus ou moins délibérée et formalisée, consistant à intervenir sur la répartition spatiale des groupes sociaux, fait figure d’enjeu saillant autant qu’insaisissable des politiques urbaines actuelles ou plus anciennes. L’objectif de ce colloque est de faire le bilan des connaissances internationales sur le sujet et d’identifier les chantiers de recherche en cours et à venir afin d’analyser la façon dont le peuplement est construit comme objectif et enjeu des politiques urbaines, dans des contextes sociaux, historiques et politiques distincts. Autrement dit, il s’agit d’appréhender le peuplement à la fois comme politique(s) et comme catégorie(s) d’action publique, en confrontant à travers ce prisme des travaux qui ne le sont pas habituellement, soit parce qu’ils portent sur des terrains et des époques éloignés, soit parce qu’ils sont issus de disciplines différentes (géographie, science politique, sociologie, urbanisme, histoire, etc.).

  Communautés migrantes et espace urbain dans les ports de la Méditerranée, XVIIe-XIXe siècle

  Dixième conférence internationale d'histoire urbaine, Gand, 1er-4 septembre 2010

  Recent research on migrant communities has witnessed a clear shift towards a more sophisticated understanding of the variety of bonds that link minority groups to the society they live in, as well as to their places of origins. Yet, when it comes to the understanding of past migrations, historical discourse still depends in many ways on traditional categories of analysis, that often poorly reflect the profound originality of the situations under study. This session is an attempt to challenge traditional and “ready-to-go” views on the organization of community life among migrants who lived in the Mediterranean port-cities during the late modern period (17th to 19th centuries).
