  Labels in the field of cultural and natural heritage

  Created in the 60s, the label's use for cultural and natural heritage has increased dramatically for several years, specially in France. Inherited from the marketing and trade world, the use of labels for cultural and natural heritage illustrates the expansion of heritage's conception to new artefacts and new cultural properties, in an anthropological meaning. Some recent studies on the cultural and natural heritage labels  insist on the economic benefits for development of territories. But the legal and institutional dimensions of labels in heritage have been ignored. The goal  of the symposium is to define and precise the purposes and the caracteristics of labels in the field of heritage.

  Property alternatives for housing

  ANR ALTER-PROP program closing conference

  La propriété privée, longtemps au fondement de la citoyenneté et de la démocratie, est aujourd’hui revisitée par des logiques de tiers-secteur (associatif, professionnel, participatif, etc.), de propriété d’usage, de location de longue durée, de propriété partagée, mutualisée, coopérative, etc. Ces remises en question liées aux évolutions politiques, économiques, environnementales, récentes, conduisent à réactiver, contre l’individualisme libéral dominant, des valeurs de sociabilité, de solidarité, voire de communauté. Ce colloque approfondira l’ensemble de ces questions sociales, juridiques et politiques.
