  Regulating bioeconomy

  (Re)Making and regulating life and livelihoods across borders: transnational bioeconomy, law, and governance

  Biotechnological industry, researchers, and governments have entered a new constellation, regime, and accelerated phase, called the Bioeconomy. This agenda - which exists in the form of policy, funding programs, white papers, etc. - reimagines how we live, how we live together with other kinds of life, and, directly, these other kinds of life at the molar and molecular level. In other words: All kinds of livelihoods in their social, economic, and ethical relations are put in motion. This agenda is, geopolitically, not restricted to Global North nor contained by any national or international jurisdiction and governance.

  Ecosystem services: their contributions and relevance in urban environments

  First mentioned in the 1970 MIT report, the concept of ecosystem services was popularized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA, 2005). It’s now used and claimed by many researchers. But numerous questions are still without answer. The thought needs a disciplinary, methodological and epistemological mixing, from ecology to anthropology and from basic research to its territorial application. This symposium is thus aimed at researchers of all disciplines, knowing that its objective is to question the ecosystem services concept in urban environments, with a particular emphasis on its cultural input.

  Seminar - Geography

  Law in social sciences, an disciplinary entrance: what place for law in geography?

  Le séminaire est l’occasion d’inviter des spécialistes du droit et des chercheurs, géographes ou appartenant à d’autres disciplines des sciences sociales, qui s’intéressent au droit dans leurs pratiques de recherche. Un de ses objectifs est de proposer de poursuivre la réflexion sur l’intérêt de tisser des liens entre le droit et la géographie en posant la question de la place du droit dans la pratique de la géographie : le droit participe-t-il de la mise en place d’un dispositif de production de l’espace ? A l’inverse, est-il un outil pour comprendre la production de l’espace ? Quelles seraient les méthodes pour aborder le droit en géographie ? Quel intérêt (ou non) de penser ces liens comme constituant un champ de la géographie (à la manière de la « legal geography ») ?
