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.

Demobilising the popular classes
Espaces et sociétés Journal
Dans ce numéro d'Espaces et Sociétés, nous souhaitons analyser la dimension spatiale des obstacles et des stratégies visant à empêcher la mobilisation des classes populaires, que ce soit avant ou après que celle-ci prenne forme. La notion de démobilisation permet d’interroger de concert les pratiques qui contraignent ou empêchent l’émergence de l’action collective et les formes symboliques et matérielles visant à entraver et réprimer les mobilisations. On peut penser par exemple, d’un côté, aux stratégies de stigmatisation ou de délégitimation, aux pratiques paternalistes, clientélistes ou de cooptation ou, de l’autre, aux modes de répression, directs ou indirects, policiers ou judiciaires.

4th Franco-Latino-American research conference in disability
Le réseau franco-latinoaméricain de recherche sur le handicap, l'équipe de recherche « Participation sociale et villes inclusives » (PSVI) et le réseau international sur le processus de production du handicap (RIPPH) organisent conjointement le IVe colloque franco-latino-américain de recherche sur le handicap à l'université de Laval, au Québec, du 25 au 27 juin 2020. Ce colloque est intitulé « Quelles sociétés du vivre-ensemble ? Réfléchir sur les expériences d'inégalités, de participation sociale et les processus identitaires ». 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.

Envisioning Latin America: Power and Representation in audiovisual (re)productions
This issue seeks to critically address power structures in audiovisual (re)productions in and from Latin America and discuss how these play a role in the societal construction and representation of individual and collective identities, the ‘us’ and the ‘other’. By doing so, it aims at understanding how these representations – and broader discourses associated therewith – can be critically examined through media productions (cinema, television, radio, photography etc.) and their use as historical sources.

Paris
The recognition of women’s place in American societies has become a crucial social, cultural, political and economic issue, as evidenced by worldwide protest movements such as Ni Una Menos that started in Argentina – a feminist movement fighting against feminicides and gender-based violence – or the Women’s March against President Donald Trump in the United States. Whether these protests have to do with the struggle for women’s right to vote, the sexual revolution that started in the 1960s, or social movements denouncing gender-based violence in urban and rural environments, they highlight a continuity between yesterday’s feminist fights and their re-adaptation in the public space.

Call for papers about Henri Lefebvre and his work
Le colloque Henri Lefebvre : Une pensée devenue monde, organisé à l’Université Paris Ouest-Nanterre en 2011 en est une autre manifestation. Toutefois cet intérêt est assez relatif, puisque le peu de chercheur-e-s qui s’y intéressent sont souvent des philosophes. A l’exception de quelques figures, comme Jean-Pierre Garnier, qui mobilise explicitement cet auteur dans la majorité de ses travaux en sociologie urbaine, les sciences sociales semblent globalement continuer de l’ignorer. Même dans la géographie critique, Lefebvre n’est pas toujours cité comme une référence au contraire de David Harvey et Edward Soja, qui pourtant revendiquent une filiation directe aux chantiers conceptuels ouverts par Lefebvre. Cela peut s’expliquer par des divergences méthodologiques, épistémologiques, mais également politiques quant à l’appropriation du corpus.

Iglesias
Il rapporto Chiesa e società nelle aree europee degli Imperi di Spagna e Portogallo e nell’America spagnola e portoghese intende gettare uno sguardo sullo sviluppo e sulle caratteristiche di questo variegato rapporto tanto nel Vecchio quanto nel Nuovo mondo. Particolare attenzione sarà attribuita alle fonti documentarie inedite o poco studiate in grado di aiutarci ad aprire nuovi percorsi di ricerca per capire la funzione pastorale ed evangelizzatrice della Chiesa, ma anche le luci e le ombre di un clero non sempre orientato al bene dei poveri. Sarà importante analizzare come la Chiesa, attraverso le sue strutture, si sia organizzata e radicata nella società sia in Europa sia in America Latina.

Migrants and access to the city
Revue « Espaces et Sociétés »
Recently, the scale of migration has generated strong images and speech that on one hand incite an urge to situate these events in academic debates, and also to participate in their objectification. This issue of E & S concerns access to the city by migrants, considering such access as an intermediate step between the flow of migration and registration (one time, temporary or permanent) of people in specific spaces. We expect proposals from those hoping to analyze the materiality of access points, technologies that accompany these processes, objects that materialize migratory situations, and finally, the temporal dimension of space. Empirical research from so-called “developing” countries will be valued highly and will be conducive to the renewal of analytical and operational framework categories, often forged in the North.

Zone: the space of a life on the margins
Espaces et sociétés
While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).

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 ».

Regards réciproques : la France et le Pérou (1713-1959)
Voyageurs, écrivains et savants
À partir de 1534, la France s’est intéressée au Pérou et à ses trésors devenus le butin des conquérants espagnols. « Riche comme le Pérou » ou « ce n’est pas le Pérou », ces expressions usuelles ont contribué à l’idéalisation du pays situé aux antipodes. Mais ce ne sont pas seulement les richesses naturelles qui ont attiré les regards des Français sur l’empire inca et l’immense vice-royauté. Les expéditions et les travaux de terrain se sont multipliés à partir du XVIIIe siècle, et construisaient un Pérou mi-imaginaire mi-réel. Les guerres d’indépendance attirèrent aventuriers désargentés et prospecteurs de routes commerciales. Le Pérou et les jeunes républiques voisines, la Bolivie et l’Équateur s’ouvrirent à la recherche étrangère, nombre de voyageurs français ont visité ces terres lointaines et ont produit des résultats scientifiques importants encore aujourd’hui. La France a exercé une fascination sur les élites péruviennes, du fait de ses penseurs politiques et de la culture littéraire et artistique. Les voyageurs furent de plus en plus nombreux tout au long du XIXe siècle, à écrire des témoignages. Les reportages des Péruviens installés de plus longue date informaient du climat social et politique ; la Commune de Paris, la République puis la Grande Guerre à partir d’août 1914 ont occupé les colonnes des journaux liméniens. La France de la Belle Époque est le modèle européen pour lequel se sacrifient de jeunes Péruviens. Témoins illustres et voyageurs oubliés, ces innombrables auteurs de notre histoire biculturelle ont laissé des traces écrites de leur vécu en France ou au Pérou.

Thinking, feeling and telling nightlife
The quality of nightlife in European cities has become a real political challenge in recent years. The turning point in the decision of regulating urban temporalities was The General States of the Night in Paris (2010) and in Geneva (2011). New lifestyles, the desynchronisation of social time with individual rhythms, the disruption oftraditional couplework/leisureinself-realizationand competitiveness between governors about urban marketing, explain this new point of view about urban life. Nowadays, how is nocturnal urban space occupied in central areas of large cities, but also in fringes? What does this gradual conquest of urban night-life mean ? How do we speak of everyday acceptanceand massive expansion in access to these nights? How can nightlife be appeased ?

Communication in the tourist sector: strategies for all participants in the areas of tourism
International conference
Although the tourism communication concept is still to be defined precisely, this international conference aims at exploring the relationships between communication strategies for those who are involved in the tourism industry and tourists. A further complication is that lots of areas are more and more very proposed with a particular identifying emblem. Communication in the tourist industry today is diverse and, from a tourist’s point of view, very confusing. The Conference aims to provide a critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries: Communication research, Geography, Cultural Studies, History, Sociology and Tourism Studies. We’d like to investigate in particular the areas and the actions of communication in the tourist sector.
