Health from an environmental perspective: public policies and citizen mobilisation
Issue 19 of the journal Amnis proposes to address this connection between health and the environment. In addition to the fact that the recent fire at the Lubrizol chemical storage plant in Rouen on the night of 25–26 September 2019 confirms the importance of this topic (which was decided on four months ago), there are three good reasons why Amnis should examine the impact of the environmental crisis on health. First, tackling this subject gives the journal the opportunity to continue its reflection on the key political and social questions facing contemporary societies. Second, the subject lends itself particularly well to multidisciplinary interpretations, which Amnis has been committed to encouraging since its creation. Third, the principle of social responsibility in research, which has always inspired its various contributors, can be showcased with this subject. The aim will be to take an objective look at the issues associated with the impact of the environmental crisis on health within a context in which public discourse tends to blur the boundaries and delegitimise the types of action taken by some social actors.

Canada – Quebec – Caribbean: transamerican connections
Les liens entre la région Caraïbe, la province de Québec et le Canada sont anciens et diversifiés. Tourisme, coopérations scientifiques et techniques, extractions de ressources, migrations sont autant de ponts tracés entre le centre géographique des Amériques et son extrémité septentrionale. Plus récemment, c’est dans les secteurs de la préservation de l’environnement, de la participation aux projets régionaux de développement, des migrations transnationales et de l’étude des mémoires partagées que ces relations transcontinentales opèrent leurs mutations afin de se présenter comme des éléments essentiels à la compréhension de « notre Amérique ».

Mass tourism versus Alternative tourism
The objective of this thematic issue is to call for various and renewed approaches which develop analysis in terms of the economy, regional planning, sociology, geography etc. Articles may propose a theoretical reflection or focus on case studies, dealing with the relations of mass tourism, alternative tourism, or to illustrate one of these two aspects. Priorities fields will not exclusively be Caribbean and American but can come from any part of the world and can illustrate post and/or present situations.

The archaeology and anthropology of space
Irrigated agriculture and agrarian morphology of damp areas
L'archéogéographie est une géographie ou une géohistoire et comme toutes les géographies, elle réclame une analyse des formes, des espaces et des territoires produits par les sociétés, une connaissance des processus d'hybridation entre nature et sociétés. Dans un contexte toujours d’expansion de l’agriculture irriguée comme moteur de développement, l’atelier 2013 s’intéressera aux enjeux économiques et agronomiques de ce type de culture depuis périodes historiques jusqu’à l’époque actuelle.

The ownership and uses of nature: exploiting, destroying and protecting
La nature, définie par des milieux ou des écosystèmes qui n'ont pas été substantiellement modifiés par l'intervention humaine, ou qui persistent malgré l'intervention humaine, est souvent présentée comme un res communis, un bien commun, un patrimoine universel et collectif devant être transmis aux générations futures. Pourtant, son exploitation, voire sa surexploitation ou à l’inverse, sa protection posent la question des enjeux économiques, politiques, juridiques, écologiques, sociaux et culturels des droits de propriétés et d’usage de la nature.

Sociétés journal devotes its next issue to the subject of “the ruin”. This issue aims to revisit and extend the notion of ruin considering its spatial, social, architectural, and urban imaginary. A Ruin is a representation and a pictorial resource of the landscape, is a metaphysical way of thought, a purpose and a primitive view. In this sense, memory, architecture and symbol, life and death, decay and rebirth, time and duration, rust and bones, the eternal communication, previous utopia and inner experience, the decomposition and recomposition, ecosophy and economics of conflict, obsolescence and "affordance", are some of the subjects that derive from ruin as status quo: an 'imaginal' foundation of the romanticism and a sensitivity of our contemporaneous world.
