    Air quality, climate change and energy - PRIMEQUAL

    Integrated approaches: science, technology, politics, economics, health, environment and society

    Le programme PRIMEQUAL (programme de recherche inter-organismes pour une meilleure qualité de l’air) soutient des recherches dites finalisées, dont les résultats sont de nature à aider la décision, la mise en œuvre et/ou l’évaluation d’actions dans le domaine de la qualité de l’air. Le présent appel à projets de recherche (APR) a pour objectif d’apporter un éclairage scientifique renouvelé et élargi sur les articulations entre la qualité de l’air, sujet central de l’APR, le changement climatique et l’énergie, ainsi que sur le large faisceau de relations qu’ils entretiennent. L’APR est ouvert à une très large diversité de thématiques. Il en est attendu des projets transversaux qui abordent, dans une démarche intégrative, ces trois domaines.

    Expert knowledge, profane knowledge - JEC'SIC 2018

    JEC'SIC 2018

    Cette journée d’étude vise à interroger les interactions et les oppositions dans la mobilisation de connaissances théoriques et pratiques. Fin XIXe et début XXe siècle, le courant positiviste implique une très forte validation de la figure du savant déployant une connaissance théorique solide, au détriment de la figure de l’usager, le « profane » aux connaissances pragmatiques. A partir de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, ce modèle est progressivement remis en cause. Les associations de lutte contre le VIH redessinent notamment le rapport soignant/soigné. Il serait intéressant de s’interroger sur une remise en cause de la figure de l’expert qui se trouve ébranlée par les critiques dont elle fait l’objet. Des discours alternatifs portés par des personnes qui étaient jusque-là exclues ou mises à distance de l’espace public raisonné trouvent un écho nouveau.

    Questioning current stakes of pharmaceuticals in Africa

    We wish to discuss the multiple stakes surrounding pharmaceuticals in Africa today, with particular consideration of their markets, the political and economic actors which they mobilize, related instruments of regulation, control and competition, modes of health care in which they are placed, and finally their modes of consumption by individuals, without losing sight of the adaptation of "traditional medicines" to the evolution of economic models. Regulation, with its broad sense of norms actually at play, legislative, biomedical, technical and commercial, seems to transverse these various questions and will thus be widely considered. We anticipate proposals based on current research for presentation on the seven themes outlined below. Submissions can come from the various social sciences (anthropology, sociology, law, history, economy, geography, political sciences), as well as from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Although Africa is central to this discourse, presentations of studies from other continents will be considered with the aim of drawing links with Africa and enriching the discourse with current situations in African countries.

    Questioning self-medication

    A socially and geographically situated bricolage

    Treating oneself is a controversial practice: scorned in the name of the health risks it runs, self-treatment may also be praised in the name of the independence it expresses. The messages of public health authorities are at the heart of the controversy, emphasizing risk one moment and their potential for patient responsibility the next. Such contradictory injunctions also affect the practices of care providers. The conference has chosen to allow comparisons and confrontations between these various disciplinary approaches as well as distinct research field sites (North/South, North/North, South/South). These practices and their determinants have to be more finely mapped and analyzed to put these analyses – by definition always partial, and theoretically, historically, and geographically situated – in perspective.

    Estuarine and Lagoon Ecosystem Trajectories

    Throughout the world, estuaries and lagoons are among the most intensely modified and threatened aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, these systems are vulnerable to the consequences of global change. From a management point of view, there is a tremendous and concrete lack of knowledge regarding the functioning of estuarine ecosystems and the socio-economic relations that bind the various actors to these environments. This ECSA symposium will contribute to provide sound science on past and future estuarine and lagoon ecosystem evolution from ecological, social and political point of view. All example of medium and long terms surveys, describing how the ecosystem and socio-ecosystem is evolving are welcome.

    L’agriculture urbaine : un outil multidimensionnel pour le développement des villes et des communautés

    Le but général du numéro est de publier un dossier multidisciplinaire abordant les différentes dimensions de l’agriculture urbaine pour le développement social, politique et économique de la ville et des communautés à travers le monde. Les textes soumis doivent être innovateurs et apporter une contribution au corpus scientifique existant. Puisque l’AU est un objet d’étude ayant une forte interdisciplinarité, les textes peuvent autant provenir des sciences politiques, des sciences de la santé, de la géographie, de l’aménagement urbain et de l’architecture, des sciences de l’environnement, des sciences sociales et humaines, etc.
