  The Caribbean against the Covid19: A global crisis and local solutions

  "Études caribéennes" Journal #48

  Officially affected by the COVID19 pandemic in early March 2020, the Caribbean Basin is concerned about the fragility of its social fabric and the wide disparities in public health policies from one State to another, which make a comprehensive response at the regional level impossible. The situation worsened at the end of May with the withdrawal of US funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), finally condemning the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), an emblematic figure in the fight against epidemics in the islands and on the continent, to a drastic reduction in its interventions, or even its disappearance. In this way, this issue seeks to respond to various concerns about the regional impact of the pandemic, around the central issue: to what extent the economic, political and/or social impact hovers around unresolved points in the construction of Caribbean Nation-States that prevent them from facing the crisis.

  Alimentação, saúde e ambiente: sustentabilidade e desafios

  Este seminário marca o início da agenda científica do Grupo de Trabalho Transições Tecnológicas: Memórias, Saberes e Práticas, constituído no âmbito do Colégio F3.​ A articulação entre alimentação, saúde e ambiente expressa, de forma inequívoca, a base em que assenta a relação milenar homem / natureza. Privilegiando uma abordagem multidisciplinar, este encontro pretende ser um fórum de discussão em torno das questões básicas do quotidiano das comunidades humanas, em especial as que respeitam à alimentação e à saúde e bem-estar na sua relação com o ambiente, considerando, por um lado, uma perspetiva de análise histórica que contemple diversidades geográficas, culturais e tecnológicas e, por outro, os desafios atuais face à globalização, à escassez de recursos, à sua sobre-exploração e às inovações tecnológicas para superar as dificuldades e / ou as consequências negativas dessa exploração.

  Inequalities and Inequities in the face of Climatic Changes

  Appel à textes de la revue Territoire en mouvement (rang A par l'AERES), ce numéro thématique attend des contributions portant sur les inégalités et inéquités en lien avec les changements climatiques. Ces contributions peuvent porter tant sur le plan physique (différences d'évolution des paramètres climatiques d'une région du globe à l'autre), que sur les conséquences physiques, politiques, économiques ou encore sanitaires qui peuvent en découler sur les sociétés, selon les différentes régions. Sont également attendues des réflexions critiques sur l’inéquité qui existe entre pays développés et pays en développement face aux changements climatiques et aux décisions qu'ils impliquent.

  Santé et mondialisation

  Ce colloque interdisciplinaire, qui aura lieu les 12 et 13 mars 2009, sera consacré à la santé au regard de la mondialisation. Celle-ci, par les interactions qu’elle provoque ainsi que par la diffusion des informations qu’elle entraîne, donne lieu à l’émergence de nouvelles dynamiques. Dans le domaine de la santé, elles occasionnent l’émergence de pratiques inédites, l’accélération de la diffusion et de l’échange des savoirs, l’apparition de nouveaux acteurs ou bien encore la multiplication d’espaces dédiés à la santé. L’objectif de ce colloque est donc de mener une réflexion sur ces logiques engagées dans les faits de santé, que ce soit dans son amélioration, sa prise en charge, mais aussi dans sa dégradation.
