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.

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.

The Caribbean City, the Cities in the Caribbean
N° 39, 2018 - The Caribbean City, the Cities in the Caribbean
The Caribbean city, the unknown. Heterogeneous human settlements, legacies of the colonial era, refuge of the disadvantaged and homeless, mixed and fragmented, and the showcases of Caribbean tourism, the urban Caribbean presents itself as the economic ambition of these insular territories and other shores bathed by the Caribbean sea. The Caribbean city, a chaotic juxtaposition of modernity and the colonial past, and existing both as a social and political symbol, opens up a rich and immense new area. Sometimes characterized by European allure, the remainder of Africa - some may say -, American city - without a doubt -, hybrid format, the Caribbean city presents a particular subject of study.

Social and tecnical Innovations for water management
8th congress CEISAL
De tout temps l’innovation tant technique que sociale, a fait partie de l’histoire de la maîtrise et de la gestion de l’eau : procédés d’irrigation développés par les grandes sociétés de la Mésopotamie Antique et de l’Espagne musulmane, organisation sociale du partage de l’eau dans les sociétés indiennes ou latino-américaines, transferts interbassins ou barrages, etc. Mais dans un contexte plus récent de dégradation quantitative et qualitative de cette ressource, de changements climatiques, de croissance urbaine accélérée des grandes métropoles, d’une agriculture irriguée largement sollicitée, d’un cadre institutionnel en évolution, l’innovation est de nouveau interrogée pour répondre aux besoins en eau.

In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

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.

Belonging and appropriation in the city
Márgenes journal issue 14
La revue accepte des articles originaux écrits en français et en espagnol. Observer et comprendre l'appropriation implique que l'on considère plusieurs dimensions : économique, politique, culturelle et urbaine. Le dialogue entre l'architecture, les sciences de l’espace et les sciences humaines, tel qu’il est engagé par la revue Márgenes, propose d’envisager ces perspectives intersubjectives, mais aussi de s’interroger sur l’agir, dès lors que les acteurs de la fabrique de la ville se confrontent autour de l'appropriation de l’espace.

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.
