  Socioécologie de l’eau, économie du partage et intelligence territoriale

  Dans ce séminaire international, nous aborderons les questions géopolitiques et sociétales de la ressource territoriale en eau sur les trois registres non exhaustifs du risque, du droit et de la ville, dans cinq ateliers dédiés à ces thématiques. Les questions cruciales de transition socio-écologique et de résilience des territoires à l'aune du changement climatique interrogent la question des solidarités territoriales autour de la ressource en eau dans les registres du risque écologique et socio-économique, du droit et des solidarités dans une optique multiscalaire et polydisciplinaire de lecture de la ville.

  The Materialities of the Energy Transition in Mountain Regions: for a Critical Approach

  The materialities of energy transition raise questions about the place of mountain territories. Particularly sensitive, and even vulnerable areas to the effects of global change, these spaces are idealized as “a nature to be preserved", pilot territories but also important suppliers of raw materials. Examining energy transitions from a critical materiality perspective invites exploration of the ethics of energy, in terms of availability of resources, provision of services to isolated populations, together with new consumption behaviors and new ways of operating. Three dimensions of materiality will be explored: (1) resources, the materials necessary for the technologies on which transition is based; (2) location, place-dependence for energy production; and (3) infrastructures, their evolution or permanence, questioning their materiality, acceptance and landscape integration in response to new ways of conceiving energy.

  Food and territorial politics. Policies for food and territories

  Food is, with a few exceptions, a relatively understudied object through the lens of local policymaking and urban planning. On the one hand, the sociology of food focuses on the relations that individuals and social groups develop to food deeds, as well as the social relations that food deeds generate between them. On the other hand, studies of food policies in political sociology primarily deal with the agrofood industry and the social movements around alternative modes of production. By contrast, few studies take as a research object food through the lens of agenda-setting in local public policy and its potential effects on territories.
