  Ageing in the Mountains

  Dans ce numéro spécial de la Revue de géographie Alpine, nous soutenons l’hypothèse que vieillir en montagne est une expérience qui permet de lire les transformations sociales des régions de montagne, non seulement en ce qu’elles touchent les personnes âgées, mais aussi les plus jeunes, dans ces territoires et au-delà. De plus, dans la ligne de nombreux travaux qui s’attachent à investiguer l’expérience des personnes dans un contexte sociologique spécifique, nous considérons le récit comme une ressource essentielle pour explorer la vie des personnes qui vieillissent en montagne, à partir de leur propre point de vue et de leur propre histoire.

  Communicating in wartime

  Transatlantic letters in the 18th century

  Letters has been the subject of numerous studies, but until now the influence of conflict on it has been little explored. The aim of this study day is to compare approaches to this theme, looking at both the material aspects and the specific communication strategies and changes in content in the face of this exceptional situation.Today we are fortunate enough to be able to access these intimate sources through various archives such as the Admiralty Archives at the National Archives in London. They shed new light, through intimate and personal accounts, on the adaptation of information exchanges between families and those involved in the colonial trade. The different facets of this adaptation will be explored over the course of the conference.

  Consent, Refuse, Surrender: Shadows of Conquest during the English Restoration 1660-1714

  This conference opens a conversation between literary, cultural, historical, philosophical, legal, medical, and artistic perspectives to analyse and historicise the mechanisms that structure the notions of consent, refusal and surrender, and to study their evolutions across the breadth of the period. The goal of this conference is both to analyse the specific expression of these notions during the Restoration period, and to see how they enable us to rethink it. Finally, this project is launched with the aim of establishing an interdisciplinary research group on the Restoration.

  The native podcast: understanding its development, questioning its future

  Ce colloque international a vocation à interroger la place du podcast en France et en Europe. Pourquoi, alors qu’il ne présente pas une innovation de rupture majeure et qu’il existe depuis longtemps, le podcast s’est-il récemment développé aussi rapidement et aussi fortement ? Comment expliquer les ressorts et les enjeux sociaux, économiques, technologiques de ce succès et de ses ambivalences ?

  Faith communities: living together or living side by side? Which role for public authorities?

  Today, a debate on the relevance and legitimacy of public funding for religious communities has been sparked by the broadcast on Flemish public television of the Godvergeten documentary series about the victims of paedophilia committed by members of the Catholic clergy. More than ever, the question of the contribution made by faith communities to "living together" is being raised. At a time when calls are being made for the outright abolition of public funding of religious institutions, it is also worth looking at the situation in neighbouring countries. The aim of this workshop, organised as part of the triennial conference of the Belgian French-speaking Political Science Association, is to bring together people to reflect on faith-based communities in Belgium, and to look more broadly at the relationship between politics and religion, using examples from other countries.

  Changing Scale

  Since the middle of the last century, efforts have been made to better exploit the potential of earth as a building material. All over the world, interest in earthen architecture is growing, and research centres are multiplying, as are training efforts. However, the major projects carried out in the 1970s did not become widespread. Their appropriation has often remained at the prototype or demonstrator stage. A situation which is not always easy to decipher. Is it lack of support from public authorities? Lack of interest from professionals? Lack of standards? Inadequacy for widespread use?

  Sustainable urban dynamics and real estate

  Sustainability has been a key issue in contemporary urban planning for several decades. This concept, which encompasses economic, social and territorial dimensions, may seem overused and even misused. However, it still represents a key area of scientific research. Many scientific studies in the field of geography have demonstrated the link between climate change, human activities and land use. This session aims to deepen territorial sustainability through the prism of real estate activities. Indeed, while the real estate sector generates a high level of pollution, it also induces several innovations (technological, territorial, health-related, etc.) that redesign the sustainable city beyond its purely ecological dimension.

  Negotiating One’s Place in the Mountains: Radical Perspectives on Experiences of – and Challenges to – Domination

  Alors que les approches radicales constituent un champ important en sciences sociales depuis plusieurs décennies, elles restent peu représentées dans les travaux portant sur les montagnes. Ces approches entendent mettre en évidence les rapports de domination qui traversent les sociétés et la façon dont ils s’entrecroisent. Sans s’en tenir à une simple description des inégalités sociales, il s’agit, dans la lignée de la pensée marxienne, d’expliquer profondément ces inégalités en décryptant les rapports sociaux de domination qui les sous-tendent et en faisant pour cela appel à des pensées systémiques et à des approches matérialistes. Ce numéro vise à montrer la fécondité des approches radicales pour penser les processus de minorisation, sur lesquels repose la reproduction des modèles économiques et politiques dominants, comme leur contestation à l’œuvre en montagne.

  New geographies of making and living labor in the Anthropocene

  Cet appel à articles invite à questionner la manière dont la géographie s’empare de la question du faire, dans une période où l’articulation entre faire et espace tend à être profondément transformée sous l’effet de rapides mutations de l’économie et de l’environnement. Il s’agit d’éclairer les modalités selon lesquelles des initiatives ciblées opèrent en des lieux spécifiques selon des dynamiques qui éprouvent des manières de fabriquer, de faire avec, par et pour les ressources existantes, tout en générant des moyens de subsister moins prédateurs pour l’environnement et dont les pratiques spéculatives sont susceptibles d’accentuer les inégalités socio-spatiales.

  Costume in african artistic production: plural approaches

  This collective work project looks at costume in African artistic production through 4 axes: costume in visual creation in Africa; costume in African cinematographic and theatrical production; costume in the other arts in Africa (dance, choreography, literature, etc.); representations and uses of costume in African societies. Through a plural and multidisciplinary approach, the aim is to contribute to the documentation and improvement of knowledge on costume in artistic production in Africa; to question the quality of costume production, its functions, implications and social dynamics in African countries; and to consider the theoretical perspectives and uses of costume and related resources in artistic creation and African societies.

  L’imaginaire des mises en connexion secrètes et des bas-fonds transnationaux du XIXe au XXIe siècle

  Modern imaginations of an interconnected world often have a ‘dark’ side. In the nineteenth century there was an explosion in enthusiasm for the opportunities offered by new forms of international communication, trade, and travel, the emergence of cosmopolitan ideals, or the urge for international cooperation. Yet contemporaries also imagined a dangerous milieu of vice and crime generated by illicit flows and populated by a dubious cast of shady characters. Anxieties over espionage, conspiracies and secret plots became a widespread cultural pattern. Since then, a sinister mythology has never ceased to captivate the modern imaginary: that beneath the real world lies a connected underworld made up of clandestine threads and movements that transcend borders and stretch across continents and oceans. This international conference will investigate the imaginary of ‘dark networks’ from the nineteenth century to the present, intenting to move beyond simplistic success stories of globalisation and contributes to the growing interest of scholars in its ‘deviant’ sides.

  Invisibles in arts and cinema

  This study day will focus on the (re)presentation of the invisible in the arts and cinema in order to analyse the way these art forms have looked at these figures of the unseen, the imperceptible or the “unshowable”, and to see to what extent they have been able to contribute to the de-marginalisation of certain populations by giving them a face.
