  International Francophone study days of urban agriculture

  Depuis plusieurs années au niveau français et international, l’agriculture urbaine reçoit un nouvel engouement de la part des citoyens, des acteurs publics, du monde socio-économique. En effet, l’agriculture urbaine sous toutes ses formes (sur le toits des immeubles, fermes hightech indoor, potagers en pied d’immeuble, etc.) développe de nombreuses fonctions positives : amélioration de l’aménagement urbain, création de liens sociaux, développement économique, sécurité alimentaire, protection de l’environnement, prévention et préservation de la santé humaine, éducation à une meilleure alimentation, offre de loisirs diversifiés.

  New Spaces of Collection: Crossing Perspectives on Today ‘Gatherers’

  “EchoGéo” journal n°47 - January-March 2019

  The purpose of this issue of EchoGéo is to initiate an innovative approach toward contemporary practices of collection and their socio-spatial effects. The term ‘collection’ covers a wide panel of processes used for the gathering of valuable materials picked up from localised environments and feeding supra-local trading and production channels. The proposal is to compare two kinds of collection spaces and practices, which seem to be opposed, namely those of medicinal plants’ gatherers and those of urban waste pickers multi-scaled. Through such analogy, whose today’s dynamics are bringing new heuristic interest, the objective is to consider conceptual issues such as marginality, informality, multi-scaled organisation of economic channels, access to resources and value regimes

  A different facette of eco-development and the mutual-help economy

  Animé par le LISRA en partenariat avec la MSH PN, le collectif de recherche-action Rues Marchandes rassemble et met en relation des personnes et des structures concernées par la question des biffins récupérateurs-vendeurs et de l’économie solidaire. Son objectif est de produire et de diffuser, avec les biffins, des connaissances à même de répondre aux manques, d’une part de considération de l’activité économique, sociale et écologique de la biffe, et d’autre part d’espaces marchands dédiés à cet effet.

  Justice and Climate Transitions

  In the lead up to the 2015 UN Paris Climate Conference the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies will hold an interdisciplinary conference on “Justice and Climate Transitions” organised with the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. The Conference will bring together leading thinkers from philosophy, policy and the social sciences to examine the moral, social and political issues at stake in transition to a low carbon society. Panellists are invited to discuss how might we interpret and evaluate different transition pathways and low-carbon futures in terms of social justice. The aim is to present both philosophical and critical social scientific perspectives on these questions before bringing these into dialogue with each other.

  Fixing the world

  Excess, Leftover and innovation

  Remainders and the way they are dealt with are a productive social sciences heuristic. Or so we argue in this special issue, published in partnership with Marseille's "Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée" (MuCEM), where an exhibition on waste is being prepared for 2016. Incorporating the subject of waste but casting a much wider net, this special issue will gather together contributions, from multiple disciplines and fieldsites, around the topic of "remainders", conceived of not only as 'obverse of production' but also in their crucial semiotic and symbolic dimensions.
