  Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality

  A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History

A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments.

  The Shapes of Waiting

  Les formes de l'attente

  Appel à contributions consacrées à « l'attente ». On passe sa vie à attendre. Rien de moins neutre en vérité que les périodes d’attente, ces intervalles étranges apparemment sans histoire. Qu’est-ce qui se joue dans ces stases où le temps est comme suspendu ?Quelles sont les formes historiques de l’attente ? Quelles en sont les formes non-occidentales ? Comment penser l’attente au sein d’autres systèmes temporels, moins « progressistes » que le nôtre ? Existe-t-il des sociétés sans attente ? Quelles autres conceptions de l’attente, peut-être plus positives, nous permettent-elles d’entrevoir ?Quels sont les lieux, les formes et les espaces de, l’attente ayant récemment émergés ? Textes finaux attendus pour fin janvier 2011.
