XTerM2019 - complex systems, territorial intelligence, mobility
“Territorial intelligence” is a concept employed to enhance our understanding of territories and the multiple interactions that occur within them. Today, the complexity of these systems of interaction, at the scale of individuals, organisations or infrastructures, requires us to rethink our analyses, our assessments and the services provided to citizens and operational participants. This conference aims at gathering the community of researchers and practitioners, whatever their discipline, being interested in the territorial intelligence and in the issues around the relation between complexity, territory, prospective and decision-making support.

The Death and Life of Car Mobilities?
Paris city shut to traffic the riverside road in 2016. This closure has stirred up the media but also professional and academic circles. Some people see it as the end of the car in the city. For others, the car is back in town, but under different configurations. Almost sixty years after the publication of The Death and Life of Great American Cities (Jacobs, 1961), which challenged the role of car-oriented planning, this Flux special issue focuses on car mobilities in metropolitan areas.

Towards a political ecology of ambiances/atmospheres
American Association of Geographers meeting, Washington, DC
This session aims at questioning the possibility of reconciling descriptive approaches of mundane social life (attentive to its sensitive, emotional and atmospheric/ambient dimension), with critical approaches? In other words, how can the sensory, affective, atmospheric research convey issues of social and political criticism?

Towards spatial and social reconfigurations of cities in the Americas
The workshop intends to answer these following questions: How do cultural practices produce new uses of public urban space? Do they succeed in reinventing the idea of the common or on the contrary do they produce new forms of stigmatization? The organizers of the workshop also wish to raise a comparative debate on social sciences studies done in Latin America and in North America on the topic of culture and cities.

The politics of urban mobility in Europe since the 2008 financial crash
Adaptations and innovations
Les autorités locales expérimentent un tournant mobilitaire et prennent en compte les externalités négatives de l’automobile (santé, climat, coûts), en cherchant un meilleur équilibre entre les modes et les types de mobilité (collectifs et individuels). Par ailleurs les politiques d’austérité forcent les institutions locales à limiter les investissements dans des infrastructures coûteuses tandis que la précarité pousse les citadins à rechercher des solutions de déplacement moins chères.

Patrimonializing the living practices. When do uses become heritage?
Annual meeting of the LIEU network 2018
Since two or three decades heritagization phenomenon concerns more and more different objects and scales. Within this frame, is to inhabit the city becoming an object of heritage itself? This conference will focus on processes that transform the ordinary and daily practices – and the spaces in which they take place – in a unique and representative experience, capable to identify, qualify and/or protect spaces of patrimonial value (labeled, ordinary, common heritage, etc.).

The issues of accessibility in the city: between spatial equity and social exclusion
Territoire en Mouvement journal
L’objectif de ce numéro de la revue Territoire en Mouvement est de mettre en lumière les disparités complexes et contrastées qui existent entre les villes (métropoles, villes moyennes), mais aussi au sein d’un même espace (dans les quartiers denses, dans les banlieues, dans les périurbains), en matière d’accessibilité spatiale. L’appel à textes s’intéresse particulièrement aux effets complexes sur les individus des conditions d’accessibilité et de mobilité dans la ville.

Landscapes of the agriurban: principles realites and uncertainties
Territoire en Mouvement journal
Depuis une vingtaine d’années, des territoires agriurbains se sont institutionnalisés autour de la reconnaissance de l’agriculture comme bien commun : ils se caractérisent par l’émergence de scènes politiques où se rencontrent des élus locaux, des agriculteurs et des membres de la société civile afin de se mobiliser pour défendre et promouvoir une agriculture en lien avec la ville. Quelle que soit la forme que prennent ces scènes, il s’agit toujours de construire un projet de développement local, promouvant la mise en lien et la recherche de nouveaux équilibres entre l’agriculture et l’urbain, à l’échelle des territoires.

Plural cities - the urban geographies of difference
L'information géographique journal
À la croisée des études urbaines et d’une géographie à la fois culturelle, politique et sociale, cet appel à articles pour la revue L'Information Géographique vise à poursuivre et enrichir les réflexions nombreuses menées dans le champ de la justice spatiale et du droit à la ville autour des processus d’éviction et la lutte des places, la gouvernance et la fabrique urbaines. En tentant de comprendre dans quelle mesure la construction, la gestion ou l’exclusion de la différence transforment et organisent les espaces urbains, et en soulignant ce que cela nous apprend sur les rapports de pouvoir à l’œuvre, le futur dossier contribuera à cerner l’intérêt d’une prise en compte de la différence en tant que facteur fondamental de la fabrique spatiale dans la réflexion géographique.

Call for papers - Urban studies
Drawing on different historical and geographical contexts, academic literature has produced since the 1960sa rich lexicon in various languages to analyse the global phenomenon of the territorial diffusion of urbanization. Just to mention a few: périurbain, sprawl (Gottman, 1967), suburbia (Fishman, 1987), desakota (McGee, 1989), exurbia (Nelson, 1992), Città diffusa (Indovina, 1990), post-suburbs (Phelps and Wu, 2011), Zwischenstadt (Sieverts, 2004). The reason of this prolific and bourgeoning literature in the field of urbanstudies is that the territorial diffusion of urbanization leads to reconsider the relationship between urbanismand territories. This workshop aims to examine this lexicon with the purpose of questioning the conceptual,disciplinary, and methodological frameworks that have oriented knowledge production on urbanization processesing different contexts and historical moments.

Amman
Call for papers - Urban studies
Contemporary Amman and the Right to the City
A city of four million inhabitants today, Amman’s expansion has become disproportionate to its urban history. Amman has experienced an impressive urban growth over the past fifty years, driven by forced migration and market laws. Developing from a small rural settlement at the end of the 19th century, Amman evolved into a regional crossroad at the end of the 20th century, and has become today a symbol for the consolidation of Hashemite rule, and as a result, the site of its contestation. Amman’s exceptional position among other regional capitals and its recent urban history has forced its inhabitants to create narratives concerning the city’s foundation, invent urban traditions, and negotiate ways of socialization.

Geographies of food trade. Towards news logics of territorialization?
Revue « Géocarrefour »
Le commerce alimentaire connaît des évolutions fortes depuis la fin des années 1990 dans un contexte de contestations de tous les maillons du système agro-alimentaire tertiaire dominant et hyperconcentré (Rastoin et al., 2010 ; Deverre, Lamine, 2010 ; Colonna et al., 2014) : remise en cause de l’agriculture productiviste, montée des revendications des consommateurs pour une alimentation saine et traçable (crise ESB en 1996, scandales alimentaires, etc…), accroissement des inégalités d’accès à l’alimentation (Paddeu, 2012) et perte de confiance envers les distributeurs. Ce numéro de Géocarrefour souhaite explorer les adaptations et les nouvelles modalités de ce commerce alimentaire, dont les formes (de la vente directe à l’hypermarché, du marché de plein vent au marché de gros, des CSA aux food stores…) montrent aujourd’hui un éclatement toujours plus grand.

Municipalisation and urban management in Mozambique
Le Mozambique est encore très largement géré par l'administration de l'État central: il n'y a que 58 municipalités, toutes urbaines. La questionne est donc très politique, puisque toute avancée de la municipalisation permet à l'opposition d'acquérir plus de poids, même si le parti au pouvoir garde le contrôle sur la majorité d'entre elles. Ce colloque international aura lieu une dizaine de jours après la tenue des élections municipales d'octobre 2018, qui seront un test grandeur nature pour les élections présidentielles et législatives de l'année suivante...

Topical Issue of "Open Economics" Journal
This topical issue of Open Economics invites submissions that explore both qualitatively and quantitatively how various cities have developed into global hubs of economic activity both historically and contemporaneously. The theoretical and methodological focus of this issue is the application of comparative methods for the purpose of analyzing economic systems in terms that go beyond neo-classical assumptions of economic theory found in conventional macro and micro economics. This also connects to the scholarly discourse on the varieties of capitalism or modernity as a perspective expected to be instructive for considering the preconditions for and effects of the rise of global financial and economic centers, such as London, New York and Hong Kong historically and Singapore, Tokyo and Shanghai more recently.

Spatializing environmental rumors
« Géocarrefour » Review
This call for papers for the journal Géocarrefour aims to question rumors with a spatialized look. The sociologists’ works have already taken a keen interest in rumors, understanding this phenomenon from a spatial point of view implies thinking about what a territory does to rumors and what rumors do to territories. Rumors are at first sight unstable, elusive in their (spatial) materiality. However, their intangible dimension seems to be able to incarnate itself in the territories, to influence their representations, and even to modify the practices of the actors of the territory. The aim of the texts will be to clarify and interpret the territorial anchors of rumors: where do they come from, a very precise place or a set of places? What event caused it? Where did it happen? Is its discourse reported directly or indirectly? What representations of the territory do such rumors convey? The contributions will focus on rumors about environmental issues, which is not yet studied.

Writing space - uses of cartography in social sciences
Usages de la cartographie en sciences sociales
La cartographie est aujourd’hui investie par des champs d’études autres que la géographie, ce qui rend nécessaire la création d’espaces de dialogue entre disciplines par le partage de méthodes proches d’enquête ou d’analyse. Cette journée doctorale propose d’analyser les usages et les apports de la cartographie pour les sciences sociales à travers des cas d’études spécifiques et des méthodes innovantes de son utilisation. Dans une perspective méthodologique, l’usage et les choix de représentations, les méthodes utilisées (logiciels de SIG, cartographie proportionnelle, schéma etc.) ainsi que la distinction entre cartographie qualitative et quantitative posent question. Qu’apporte la représentation cartographique à la recherche en sciences sociales ? L’objectif de cette journée n’est pas de présenter techniquement les logiciels, mais de comprendre les enjeux du recours à la cartographie en sciences sociales, de la mise en œuvre des terrains à la construction de discours sur l’espace. Cet appel à communication s’adresse aux doctorant(e)s de toute discipline (anthropologie, histoire, géographie, sociologie, économie, etc.) qui traitent de ces questions dans leur recherche.
