  Mountains and New Ways of Building Knowledge

  Contemporary societies have to tackle “wicked” problems, characterized by their complexity, a diversity of views about these problems, as well as a context of uncertainty. Increasingly, the thinking goes that such problems cannot be properly understood by researchers from a single discipline or even by researchers alone. Therefore, the latter are encouraged to find collaborators across disciplinary and academic boundaries and to find and implement « new » ways of building and spreading knowledge.This call is seeking articles that will allow us to question – through and from the mountains – the forms, processes and effects of those “new” ways of building knowledge. It also aims to encourage the reflexivity of researchers who contribute to this evolution and question the how and the why of a fondness for/reliance on Alpine research.

  Study days - Geography

  Searching for places, places of knowledge

  Identifying and indexing research grounds in scientific texts

  This day focuses on the challenges, methods and research questions associated with the recognition of geographical entities in the texts of scientific publications. The first session looks back at land-related research. Overgrazed lands, remote science, visibility of research sites and the local dimension of some sites will be discussed. The second session will present the methodologies for automatically detecting research fields in scientific texts. The third session will show the interest of these methods and the challenge of applying them to large corpora of scientific texts, taking the example of the ISTEX and OpenEdition corpora. The fourth session will present projects proposing interactive keyword and toponym exploration solutions for archaeology and geography journals.

  Seminar - Geography

  Writing the geographic

  Ce séminaire entend développer l’investigation des formes savantes de l’écriture géographique en les mettant en contact et en tension avec d’autres formes de textes qui portent également des modalités de connaissance ou de questionnement géographiques (le sentiment paysager, le rapport aux lieux ou à l’espace, le devisement régional, etc.) : l’écriture de fiction sous tous ses registres, mais aussi le texte descriptif, le récit de voyage, l’essai, ou encore les écrits intimes.

  1914-1918. The war in maps

  The 1rst World War dramatically affected societies and territories, as well as personal lives and all forms of culture, in Europe and elsewhere in the world. The 1914-1918 conflict had in all respects a foundational nature. On the occasion of the 1rst World War commemorations, and in connection with the exhibition, "Summer of '14: The Last Days of the Old World", which will be held at the French National Library from March 25 to August 3, the French Committee of Cartography organizes a conference specifically dedicated to the role of cartography in the war, according to three main issues : the role of maps during the preparation of the war, the use of maps on the theatre of military operations, the importance of the map in a civil society during the war.

  International comparison: methods and challenges

  Journal Espaces et sociétés

  Espaces et sociétés raises the issue of the aims of international comparison in its specific scientific field: the relationship between societies and their spaces. This themed issue intends to discuss the challenges and methodologies at stake in comparative research. The aim is not to present data extracted from an international comparison, but to focus on the epistemological and methodological challenges in the process of their production.

  Praxeologies and the ethics of social geography

  Experiences and cross perspectives of researchers

  La géographie sociale ne se développe plus dans les mêmes contextes ni dans les mêmes cadres institutionnels qu’il y a vingt ans. Ses questionnements, ses méthodes, ses concepts sont introduits maintenant dans des institutions privées d’enseignement supérieur et / ou des formations axées sur la professionnalisation. Quelles sont les conséquences et les implications de ces changements de contextes organisationnels ? Quelles théories de l’action (tant au plan de l’enseignement que de la recherche) émergent ? Quelles sont les finalités poursuivies par les chercheurs dans leurs contextes professionnels et avec quelles implications éthiques ? Plus largement, où se fait aujourd’hui la géographie sociale et dans quelles conditions effectives ? Où peut-elle se faire et se dire ? Cette journée voudrait proposer un moment d’échange permettant de s’interroger collectivement sur « les lieux de la géographie sociale » aujourd’hui.
