  Work, between action and sufferance

  Les hommes n’ont jamais cessé de montrer une profonde ambivalence à l’égard du travail, activité tantôt valorisée, tantôt dévalorisée, tantôt rangée du côté de l’action voire de la création, tantôt du côté de l’infortune et de la nécessité, tantôt considérée comme une souffrance, une punition ou une calamité, tantôt comme un moyen de salut, de libération, d’accès à la sphère éthique et à la reconnaissance. Du fond de l’âge grec, depuis Hésiode et au-delà, comme dans la tradition biblique, nous retrouvons trace de semblable ambivalence, bipolarité inscrite au cœur même de l’expérience du travail. Bien sûr, les traditions et les cultures accusent des traits qui les distinguent voire les opposent quant à l’importance accordée à chacune de ces polarités constitutives de la problématique du travail, en lien avec leur spiritualité religieuse et leur idéologie sociale et politique. Mais quelles que soient ces différences d’approches et d’accents, force est de constater qu’elles ne sont pas parvenues à effacer complètement la dimension alter du travail qu’elles s’efforcent parfois de conjurer, et à convaincre ce faisant de l’unidimensionnalité principielle (positive ou négative, morale ou sociale) du travail humain. Ces journées d’étude seront l’occasion de travailler quelques grandes lignes de cette antinomie, de cette bipolarité de l’agir et du pâtir qui anime la problématique du travail.

  Mountains and the collective management of the commons: influences and interactions

  Ancestral collective ownership systems linked to village communities, sprouted from feudal law, used to correspond to an agrarian economy that was generally needed for self-subsistence (feeding). This economy gradually deteriorated for a variety of interconnected reasons. Nonetheless, these systems have managed to survive over time, which is rather surprising. Their presence is still strongly felt in rural areas – mainly in mountain regions (France, Italy and Switzerland, in particular). In a contemporary context of agricultural decline, the disappearance of landscapes, declining allocations from the state to communes and the urgent need to preserve natural resources and stimulate rural areas, one has to ask which roles these communities can play to develop the mountain territories in a sustainable way.

  International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present

  Since the 70s the presence of migrants in Europe, and especially in Italy, has become a structural issue and has been at the center of the public and political debate. The progressive demolition of welfare systems, the job precariousness, and new consumer lifestyles have generated different responses in terms of regulation of the admissions of foreign citizens in search of a job and their management (housing issues, access to health care, etc.). Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

  Into the woods

  Overlapping perspectives on the history of “ancient forests”

  In ecological, economic and social terms, “ancient forests” play numerous roles. Their definition varies not only from country to country but also according to disciplinary fields. Studying “ancient forests” can involve separating “old-growth forests” from “ancient woodland”, forests that have disappeared and, in the case of “current forests”, those that are not actually very old at all! This conference aims to exchange views and ideas on “ancient forests” including both retrospective and prospective issues. Better understanding their past highlights the key issues of their status, protection and promotion in our current societies and opens up new perspectives about the future of « ancient forests ». Foresters, planners, developers, ecologists, biologists, agriculturalists, geographers, historians, philosophers, ethnologists, cartographers, archaeologists, archaeobotanists, sociologists etc., from all backgrounds, are invited to join this debate about our various and varying concepts of “ancient forests”.

  Or how is work transformed through and in entertainment and entertainment is re-qualified as work

  Le colloque propose de questionner ce que le travail fait au divertissement et ce que le divertissement fait au travail ou, plus précisément, de s’arrêter sur la production contemporaine de formes hybrides entre travail et divertissement, et plus généralement travail et loisir (serious games, usages des réseaux sociaux au travail, Fab labs, médiations du travail des amateurs, etc.). Il s’agit ainsi d’étudier : comment le travail se transforme par et dans le divertissement, et comment le divertissement est qualifié en travail.

  Dynamics of repopulation in mountain areas: new highlanders

  Observing the recent situation of demographic trends in the Alps, it is possible to put in evidence an interesting turnround in some alpine territories, especially alpine marginal areas. This situation invests not only the Alps but in general the European mountain territories, where the effects of this turnround become evident: from requalification of old villages and the creation of technologic buildings, to implementation of different forms of tourism (green tourism, soft tourism), from experimentation of new services (through ICT solutions), to implementation of sustainable mobility policies and finally to creation of green entrepreneurial activities.
