  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.

  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.
