    Health: New Challenges for Development

    « Revue internationale des études du développement », n°247 (2021-3)

    A call for papers on health and development cannot but mention the current pandemic crisis. While international aid in the health sector has been rather stagnant of late, the Covid-19 pandemic could put health and infectious diseasesback at the heart of long-run priorities, particularly in countries of the South. While the African continent remains relatively unaffected, low-income countries share several characteristics: fragile and poorly funded healthcare systems that currently seem to be coping nonetheless, as well as a significant burden due to endemic health problems, including non communicable diseases. An integrated, unified approach to public and environmental health at different scales therefore seems more necessary than ever, especially in the context of climate change. This global crisis therefore provides new opportunities to better interlink the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and rethink the health and development nexus.

    5th congress of the International Ergology Society

    La démarche de l’ergologie offre-t-elle une approche pertinente dans le champ des questions intégrant le travail, le patrimoine et le développement ? Dans quelle mesure sa contribution est-elle singulière et innovante ? Afin d’établir un bilan et de tracer des perspectives, le principal objectif du cinquième congrès de la Société internationale d’ergologie (SIE) est de mettre en débats, au cours de trois journées, les travaux qui, en plusieurs lieux du monde, ont fait l’option de s’engager dans cette réflexion, tout en ayant parfois privilégié auparavant d’autres cadres de référence. La diversité des approches constituera un atout essentiel de cette rencontre qui se veut donc pluridisciplinaire.

    Financing the city. City transfers under financial stress

    Revue « Espaces et sociétés »

    Funding for the city has been the subject of much attention over the last 15 years. The rise of institutional investors around the pan-securitization of real estate, and the development of private public partnerships in a context of shrinking public resources are phenomena that have overturned ways of doing things. This issue does not aim to analyze new models of financing urbanization as such, but to study the consequences. Several lines of work can be evoked which are all supported by the analysis of social and spatial effects of the ways of funding the city today: the effects of globalized city funding, concentration of players, modes of financing and the standardization of products, the development of new forms of public-private partnership and logical investment locations, the transitional funding arrangements for more sustainable cities or competitive cities through major partnership operations, are questions that can be addressed.

    Cities we don't talk about

    The cities of urban research have long been and still are widely today, the "great cities". But the realities of urban are not limited to them. In France for example the small and medium-sized cities house more than a quarter of the population. What does the observation of these cities bring to knowledge of the urban phenomenon? On the other hand, in the research devoted to major metropoles, it is often very specific neighborhoods that are the subject of attention of research as well as the media: social housing developments or the central gentrified neighborhoods. But more "ordinary" neighbourhoods are not often the focus. What does the observation of these neighbourhoods that we do not talk about "say" about the city? In other words, we would like to call on work that offers openings of the typologies of cities as the typologies of neighbourhoods that are subjacent to the discourse and debates on the urban.

    Luxury in all its States: Foundations, Dynamic and Plurality

    This issue of “Revues Etudes Caribéennes” aims to reflect upon the concept of luxury, to invest the luxury in all its states. It comes to question the foundations of luxury, from the theory to the materiality, from the manufacture to the consumption, between provocative distinction and aesthetization in all walk of life. Within the context of this thematic issue, luxury is envisaged a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from philosophy to sociology, from the economy to the development of the territory... Imputs may approach luxury a specific angle (economics of luxury, the luxury throughout history). They can treat a particular dimension of luxury, through an emblematic product or construction of luxury territories. Special attention will be paid to the luxury industry with its brands and its logic of creation and production. Finally, luxury exist through the construction of its legends which are formed from many distinctive indicators that stimulate both the casual and the exclusive consumers.

    Margins of Work and Employment: Forms, Stakes, Processes

    Quatorzièmes Journées internationales de sociologie du travail (JIST) 2014

    Les quatorzièmes Journées internationales de sociologie du travail (JIST) organisées à Lille les 17, 18 et 19 juin 2014 invitent les chercheurs à analyser les mondes du travail et de l’emploi à partir des marges, envisagées en termes de processus, de dialectique, de déplacement de frontières et de rapports aux centres. Une des ambitions de ces quatorzièmes journées est de saisir – dans les tensions entre marges et centres définies pour chaque objet – ce qui permet de comprendre les sociétés au travail et leurs transformations récentes. Les JIST font une place importante à la comparaison internationale et à la diversité des analyses mobilisées en termes de classe, de genre, de race, de génération, de territoire, etc.

    The scales of the management of territory

    Espaces et sociétés journal

    Cet appel à articles vise à faire réfléchir sur les dernières évolutions perceptibles du rôle des États et de la place des collectivités locales dans un contexte de contraction des finances publiques. Après de longues décennies de montée en puissance des collectivités infra étatiques dans la plupart des pays deux tendances se dessinent. La première s’appuie sur une remise en cause de cette multiplication d’échelons plus ou moins indépendants au nom du renouveau d’une certaine forme de légitimité technique et d’une volonté de limiter le coût de l’action publique. À l’inverse, la seconde renvoie à la volonté d’États désargentés de se décharger encore davantage sur les collectivités locales. L’exemple français n’est pas isolé.
