  5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium

  This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

  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.

  Securing transport infrastructures

  Si la sécurité des infrastructures de transport a fait l'objet de nombreuses études, celles-ci se sont principalement intéressées à la prise en compte d'éléments techniques ou de dispositifs de sécurité civile. Elles n'ont que très rarement et superficiellement abordé les enjeux de sécurité collective – au sens de la sûreté des personnes et des biens – auxquels ces infrastructures de transport sont désormais confrontées tant dans leur portée que leurs limites. Ce colloque se propose de combler cette lacune en croisant les points de vue d'universitaires spécialisés de questions de sécurité, de représentants d'administrations centrales, de forces de gendarmerie et de secours ainsi que des principaux opérateurs du secteur des transports.
