University meets industry at Denim City in Amsterdam
The aim of this one-day conference is to explore the evolution of denim from its origins in the French town of Nîmes, through the American invention of the modern blue jeans, to the contemporary global manufacturing and marketing of denim and jeans. Blue denim jeans are the most worn garments in the world. Even though denim is often perceived as a symbol of American culture, the denim fabric originated in Europe and has a long history. Yet it was only when denim trousers were riveted that the first modern pair of jeans were created in the late XIXth century. Since this invention, jeans have made grand transformations from a worker’s garment, through a uniform of non-conformity and youth protest, to an item of fashion design. Recently, the Netherlands has become an international marketing cluster for the global denim industry.

Third Sector. Towards a collaborative Public Service
XIVth edition of the International Public Management Symposium
There is a trend for governments to try developping partnerships with the Third Sector (non-profit associations, foundations, social enterprises and cooperatives...) which is being recognized as one of the main economical and social actor. We may quote, as an example, the governmental project of Big Society in the United-Kingdom. This international symposium will gather researchers and practitioners to debate the place of the Third Sector in the process of creating a collaborative Public Service. Many questions will be at stake: How to define the Third Sector? What is the impact of cultural characteritics on its development? How does it imply the participation of civil society to the co-production of Public Services? Is it a "miracle cure" in this time of pressure on the public purse?

A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, from Late Eighteenth Century)
Souvent envisagée du seul point de vue de ses dimensions économiques et financières, l’histoire des dettes publiques est pourtant consubstantielle à la construction des États et des sociétés contemporaines. À ce titre, elle est un objet central de l’histoire politique, car elle invite à s’interroger sur les transformations historiques de la souveraineté, les rapports de force entre les États, leurs créanciers et les contribuables, et les relations complexes entre indépendance nationale et insertion dans une économie mondialisée.

A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, since the Late Eighteenth Century)
This is call for papers for a symposium to be held in Paris in June 2013. Its main theme is a political history of public debts since the end of the eighteenth century. Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. Our goal is to bring together various case studies, using different approaches, but all analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. This should help shed new light on such central concepts for our understanding of the modern political world as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity. -

A l’heure où les studios américains Raleigh investissent la région toulousaine pour y construire les plus grands plateaux de tournage d’Europe, où la (re)localisations des tournages de films devient un enjeu majeur des politiques nationales de soutien aux industries cinématographiques en Europe tout autant que des stratégies des états américains, où les « film funds » des régions européennes s’organisent en réseau pour donner une nouvelle impulsion aux critères de sélection des films articulés désormais entre qualité artistique, dynamiques territoriales et attractivité touristique, nous avons voulu interroger ces nouvelles mutations de l’économie du cinéma qui font éclater les frontières entre global et local, entre qualité artistique et aventures commerciales. -

Géographie(s) rurale(s) en question(s)
Appel à contributions pour Géocarrefour-Call for Papers for Geocarrefour
Ce numéro de la revue Géocarrefour se propose donc d’explorer les questionnements théoriques, épistémologiques et méthodologiques de la géographie rurale d’aujourd’hui.Les principaux thèmes sur lesquels des contributions sont attendues (sans exclusive) sont : 1) la question des dynamiques économiques et de l'emploi rural; 2) les différenciations sociales au sein de la population rurale; 3) la question des seuils (de densité et d’équipement), de distance, d’éloignement et d’accessibilité peut permettre de questionner et de préciser l’objet géographique ‘rural’. Le rural est-il encore une catégorie d’espace pertinente, en termes scientifique et praxéologique ?
