  Violence and environmental crisis

  Violence: An international journal

  Violence: An international journal is launching a call for papers on the theme “Violence and environmental crisis”. Can we speak about violence when describing biodiversity loss, the destruction of natural sanctuaries like Amazonia and the Great Barrier Reef, or when observing the spillage of illegally polluting wastes? How long is the chain of violence related to environmental crisis? And who are the perpetrators and the victims of such violence? In which way can we speak about violence, and can this violence be legitimated or condemned? All this raises theoretical, normative, linguistic and empirical questions to be discussed in the articles fostered by this call.

  Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes

  Xth Congress World mediation forum

  The WMF’s mission is the development and exchange of knowledge, information and competencies in all mediation areas, notably through the regular organization of international congresses for more than fifteen years. The Xth Conference of the World Mediation Forum wants to devote itself to trying to understand how mediation can be organized and developed when it has so many objectives that are seemingly difficult to reconcile. Thus, the 2019 conference will try to bring, through four highly interrelated roundtables and about forty presentations, a significant contribution to this question: 'Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes?'

  Stages of Utopia and Dissent, 50 years on...

  15 May 1968: the Odeon theatre in Paris is occupied by students and becomes the insurgent headquarters where every night militants recount the days' action in occupied factories to an audience of people camping in the auditorium. Youth rebellion was never as mythologised as that of the French students’ fight against institutional oppression. The effects were felt across the Channel, too – but the nature of those effects was, and remains, disputed. 50 years on… where are we? What remains of autogestion and emancipatory education? What remains of theatre inventiveness and sedition? What remains of a need for participatory audiences? What remains of utopia and dissent?

  What instruments for amateurs in the context of "fablabs"?

  Cette conférence coordonnée par l’Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet FabLab2 (http://fablabsquared.org/). Elle portera sur la figure de l’amateur dans les Fablabs et s’interrogera sur la manière dont on peut l’accompagner (conceptuellement, institutionnellement, technologiquement), ainsi que sur la portée sociétale de ce mouvement de réappropriation des technologies.

  « Pour la suite du monde » : développement durable ou décroissance soutenable ?

  Colloque à HEC Montréal - 18 et 19 mai 2009

  Comment faire face aux graves difficultés environnementales, économiques et sociales qui menacent le modèle de société occidental ? Faut-il viser un « développement durable », en cherchant à concilier croissance économique, progrès social et préservation de l’environnement ? Ou bien est-il préférable de crier « Halte à la croissance! » et de s’engager sur la voie d’une « décroissance soutenable » ? Et selon l’option choisie, comment la mettre en œuvre concrètement ? Telles sont les questions qui seront soumises au débat dans le cadre de ce colloque, qui se déroulera les 18 et 19 mai prochains à HEC Montréal (Québec).
