  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.

Nous invitons les participants à discuter des dynamiques de participation ou d'exclusion des personnes en situation de handicap avec trois thèmes non exclusifs : les pratiques sociales liées à la transformation et à l'utilisation des espaces territoriaux ; les formes d'appartenances des personnes en situation de handicap à un espace social et/ou territorialisé ; la complexité des rapports de pouvoir.
