Tourism and international labels. Protection and commercialization
UNESCO's labels (World Heritage, Biosphere Reserves, Creative Cities, Global Geoparks) have been created, amongst other reasons, to ensure the sustainable development of areas with special characteristics. Each label has specific objectives, be it conservation or protection, education, or networking of these areas. While these labels have not been designed to contribute to the commercialization of tourism, many destinations enjoy the prestige, reputation, and guarantee of quality or exceptionality associated with these labels to attract visitors, residents, and investors. Some site managers also use these labels to educate residents and visitors about their specific characteristics. The use of these international labels in a marketing context therefore poses a large number of challenges, both from practical and theoretical points of view.

Violence in the Americas - American Studies doctoral and post-doc study day, 2018
Journées des jeunes américanistes 2018
L’extrême violence qui sévit aujourd’hui en Amérique latine peut-elle constituer un observatoire privilégié des phénomènes de violence à différentes échelles spatiales et temporelles ? La « violence de rétribution » (Beik, 2007) des subalternes en demande de justice peut s’opposer à la « violence légitime » de l’Etat (Weber, 1998 [1971]), à la « violence symbolique » (Bourdieu, 2012) des institutions, ou encore à la violence structurelle des rapports d’oppression de classe, de genre et de race. L’objectif sera de proposer une démarche pluridisciplinaire de l’étude de la violence – trop souvent cantonnée à des champs disciplinaires – ainsi que d’identifier les problématiques permettant de penser l’intrication des différentes échelles d’analyse.
