Space for theory - Géopoint 2016
Géopoint 2016
Qu’est-ce qu’une théorie de l'espace ? A-t-on besoin de théorie pour le décrire, l’expliquer, le comprendre, le transformer ? Sur le principe, ces questions semblent appeler une réponse consensuelle, mais, en pratique, ce n’est pas si simple. D’abord, nombre de chercheurs continuent de se détourner de la construction de concepts et d’énoncés théoriques. Ensuite, la contribution de la recherche sur l’espace à l’ensemble des théories du monde social reste souvent implicite, insuffisamment diffusée et discutée, alors même que le « tournant géographique » a progressivement conduit l’ensemble des sciences sociales à prendre l’espace au sérieux.

Conference, symposium - Science studies
New Perspectives on Global Environmental Images
The international conference proposes to mobilise a broad variety of perspectives from a large disciplinary spectrum in order to analyse the strategies and imaginaries that are connected to the production, the circulation and the power of global environmental images. From icons of the environmental movement over expert graphics mobilised by the IPCC to satellite imagery, global environmental images form the sensory basis of our understanding of the planetary processes that govern the “Anthropocene”. The images all actively participate, at very different scales, in our interpretation and understanding of the changes of the Earth system as well as the consequences we closely associate to global climate change. As true mediators between different publics and cultures, between global processes and local impacts, new critical enquiries into global environmental images propose a highly fruitful discussion of the complex relationship between science, society, politics and nature.
