  À travers un regard local

  Approches territoriales des défis émergents en architecture, design urbain et planification en Afrique et dans les pays du Sud Global

  L'urbanisation rapide et la croissance exponentielle des zones métropolitaines en Afrique et dans les pays du Sud Global ont attiré l'attention du public, des experts locaux, des décideurs et des parties prenantes internationales, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les droits et l'accès aux services de base. Parallèlement, d'autres environnements bâtis tels que les petites villes émergentes, les villes en déclin ("shrinking cities") et les zones rurales subissent actuellement des pressions et des changements importants et sont de plus en plus sous le feu des projecteurs.

  Revisiting Southeast Asian international marriages

  In the current context of economic crisis, international marriages and family-related migrations are becoming increasingly restricted in many developed countries in the Global North, whereas countries in the Global South are adopting measures to protect local women from the trafficking and sexual exploitation that may arise from international marriages. These regulations of the “marriage market” pose challenges to single men and women looking for partners of a different nationality and for bi-national couples pursuing a family-formation project. For those who successfully immigrated in the country of their partner, social incorporation and cohesive family life are the next challenges in line. To shed light on the multi-faceted life of marriage migrants in the current age of economic crisis and increased border controls, this edited volume will take a closer look at Southeast Asian international marriages. It will also attempt to capture the dynamics of the interaction among macro-, meso- and microsociological factors that shape migrants’ trajectories, while taking into account their subjectivities and agency.

  Southeast Asian Cities’ Expressions of Modernity in Their Relation to Local Heritages

  EuroSEAS Conference, Group 6: Popular culture, museums and heritage

  The panel will explore spatial configurations created in these contexts, questioning the forms of modernity expressed by architectural and urban projects. With the purpose of challenging a general assumption according to which Asian and especially Southeast Asian urban landscapes affected by recent developments tend toward irremediable standardization and “Westernization”, the panel will explore local expressions of modernity through the examination of projects pointing to a reinterpretation of forms of local heritages.
