  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.

  Co-evolutions of practices and sociotechnical energy systems

  IVth half-study day of the "Electric hybridisation and urban planning" cycle

  Ce IV^e séminaire du cycle « Hybridations électriques et urbanisation diffuse » est organisé par le groupe transversal « Ville et énergie » du réseau Labex « Futurs urbains » (Uuniversité Paris-Est). En réunissant des chercheurs, des professionnels de l’énergie, des représentants des institutions gouvernementales et non-gouvernementales, le cycle de séminaires Hybridations électriques et urbanisation diffuse propose des points de vue complémentaires sur les coévolutions entre villes et systèmes énergétiques pour initier un dialogue interdisciplinaire autour de questions structurantes pour la recherche scientifique.
