The politics and geopolitics of translation
The multilingual circulation of knowledge and transnational histories of geography
In the last fifty years, the field of the history of geography has moved from an approach dominated by National Schools to an attention to the circulation of knowledge in its multiple scales. The history of science and of geography have in the last decades incorporated concepts such as transit, networks, mobilities, the transnational, circulation, centre of calculation, spaces of knowledge, geographies of science, spatial mobility of knowledge, geographies of reading and geographies of the book. More recently, a turn has emerged towards considering the dynamics and necessities of decolonizing the history of geography. This work is turning the field of the history of geography into one of the most dynamic areas of the discipline. Yet we suggest that questions of language and translation have remained under-determined in this new field. Translation and writing have not received the same attention as, for instance, departmental histories, sites of museums, laboratories, botanic gardens, and scientific societies, for example. We suggest, therefore, that new perspectives opened up by translation studies can open new windows on the history of geography.

Rethinking the Mediterranean. The contribution of the social sciences
Doctoral studies theme workshop, from the 7th-11th September 2015
Qu’apprend-on aujourd’hui à regarder la Méditerranée au prisme des sciences sociales ? Point de contact et de tension, frontière et passage, espace de circulation et entité régionale, la Méditerranée se trouve au centre de nouveaux enjeux. Avec la mondialisation et l’émergence de nouvelles puissances, on assiste d’une part au renforcement d’unités régionales et d’autre part à une redéfinition des rapports Nord / Sud. Dans le même temps, depuis 2011, les bouleversements politiques majeurs de la rive sud de la Méditerranée, et leurs conséquences sociales, économiques et juridiques, posent avec encore plus d’acuité dans un contexte de crise la question des conditions, enjeux et modalités de l’analyse des phénomènes sociaux à l’échelle euro-méditerranéenne. L’ambition de cet atelier est de proposer un cadre international et interdisciplinaire d’échanges et d’expériences privilégiant les croisements analytiques et méthodologiques.
