Paradigms, models, scenarios and practices in terms of strong sustainability

Bien que la notion de durabilité continue d'être associée au rapport Brundtland (1987) et au concept de développement durable, une communauté de chercheurs et de praticiens de la durabilité cherche de plus en plus à émanciper le concept pour être en accord avec les connaissances et les aspirations du moment. L'enthousiasme et les attentes à l'égard d'une plus grande durabilité vont au-delà des simples questions environnementales. Ils abordent également des questions sociales cruciales. Les communications du symposium visent à remettre en question les paradigmes, les modèles, les scénarios et les pratiques qui incarnent la durabilité. On peut se demander quel sens donner à l'idée même de durabilité et aux représentations qu'elle véhicule.

European Conference on Risk Perception

Behaviour, Management and Response

The actual behaviour of individuals and government entities before, during, and immediately after a disaster can dramatically affect the impact, vulnerability, recovery time and resilience. Despite decades of research on disaster risk and perception, studies on actual damages and responses after disasters, decision-making tools, and actionable knowledge of the actual behaviour of the populations are still a challenge. Uncertainty derives from lack of information, lack of trust, alternatives, previous experience, but also segregation, oppression, etc. This conference is addressing the knowledge gap between risk perception, evacuation, response, and adaptation behaviour. It aims to build a multidisciplinary panoramic European view.

Returns

“Africa e Mediterraneo” Journal

The debate on asylum and migration is bringing to light the theme of return; not that of an old migrant returning to his country of origin after a lifetime of work, but that of the younger generations who still find themselves in the midst of an existential and professional journey. There are more and more questions on the phenomenon of asylum seekers forced to deal with this step due to their asylum request being denied or their integration into society failing, as well as on the cases in which migrants return home deliberately out of choice with an enterprise project possibly favored by national and international policies.

Competition and solidarity networks in contemporary South Asia's Labour Market

Hegemonic neo-liberal discourse assumes that free competition on all levels sparks a virtuous cycle of economic growth, which eventually trickles down to poor populations. Over the past three decades, the idea that restrictive labour laws hamper such competition has justified the deregulation of labour in the North and the un-regulation of labour in the South, notably in South Asia, where labour relations had already mainly been informal. Various sociologists have noted that intensified economic interactions and the rise of competition have made individuals more likely to activate their social networks to protect their individual interests. In this respect, to what extent do social networks shape relations in the diverse South Asian labour markets? How do new forms of social groupings reconfigure competition and solidarity relations? What forms of social interactions prevail, emerge and weaken in the market: chosen solidarity and inherited solidarity; inter-caste and intra-caste solidarity; class solidarity; corporate solidarity etc.?

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.

Managing hunger and satiety

Consumers and producers' perspectives

The eight edition of the International Research Symposium aims to share up-todate research on managing hunger and satiety both from the consumers and from the producer’s perspectives. This day will be devoted to address appetite and food intake mechanisms in relation to pleasure and health in a product context or a food service context. Normal and healthy eating will be discussed as well as some mentions of overeating and obesity or under eating and denutrition. A range of speakers from both academic and industrial sectors will share their knowledge and understanding of hunger and satiety and their relation to eating behaviors. The issue will thus be addressed on both physiological, psychological and social levels.

Conflits et violences sociales dans un monde interconnecté et incertain

Panel 033 EASA 2014

Ce panel vise à réfléchir aux formes de violences ordinaires et à leurs dynamiques dans les sociétés contemporaines de plus en plus interconnectées et incertaines. Les violences ordinaires qui prennent place dans le quotidien des rapports et des échanges sociaux se distinguent des violences politiques ou économiques aiguës par leur faible intensité, leur caractère particulier, routinier et banal. Universelles, elles se manifestent dans des relations sociales ou des interactions menacées par les abus de pouvoir, l’exploitation, ou l’anomie de la société globale. Il apparait que les violences issues des contextes nouveaux de l’interconnexion à distance et de la montée des incertitudes n’ont pas été analysées dans les études antérieures de ce type de violences. C’est donc au prisme de ces contextes que nous proposons de réinterroger ici la question des conflits et des violences ordinaires.

From debt to over-indebtedness in southern countries: Processes, practices and meanings

International Workshop, Paris-IEDES, 7-8 december 09

Organized by UMR 201, RUME India, Mexico, Madagascar, CIESAS (Mexico) (www.rume-rural-microfinance.org). The main purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop will be a theoretical and empirical examination of over-indebtedness from the perspective of southern countries, with the following underlying hypothesis: to define and analyze the process of indebtedness requires first an understanding of the complexity and diversity of debt relationships. The following questions might be addressed: 1) The social meaning of debt, creditworthiness and over-indebtedness. 2) Financial ‘markets’ and financial providers. 3) Financial culture. 4) Impoverishment and accumulation. 5) Over-indebtedness.
