    Swahili Glocal System

    The proposal relates the renewal of the local scale at the age of globalization, within the world-system, commonly portrayed through the glorification of global cities. For decades, those lasts were regarded as independent from local, regional and national contingencies; they turned out to be vulnerable to shrinking process, a symptom of the global economic change of order and the inadequacy of policies to cope with different scales of interactions: the glocal.

    Discourse, power and spirit - between reason and emotions

    Le pouvoir est un moyen d'influencer les types de relations et interactions entre les individus. Celles-ci peuvent amener en retour une partie à imposer sa volonté à une autre partie, quels que soient les motivations et fondements à l’origine de cette volonté. Au vu de la nature sociale de ces rapports, on peut postuler que les pratiques discursives gardent la trace des dynamiques de pouvoir. L’analyse du discours peut par conséquent constituer un angle d’approche pour la compréhension des relations et des positionnements hiérarchiques. Le rapport entre discours et pouvoir implique également une entrée en interaction avec la conscience de l’autre.

    Discourse, power and mind: between reason and emotion

    Discourse can be addressed as a vehicle for power, a positioning practice which enlightens the role and the relationship among the speakers. Power is a way of defying and measure relationships and interactions between individuals. These relations and interactions lead one part to affirm its will against another part, no matter on what bases this will is grounded. Language and communication can be seen as tools to define and convey power dynamics, as well as to establish a status quo. Hence, discourse practice analysis is a tool to approach and understand the hierarchical relations and positions in different discourse fields. The relationship between discourse and power implies an interaction between the subjects and their selves. Power positions are often held by influencing the judgment of other people, which requires dealing with their minds.

    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”.
