According to some specialists, sport is a universal phenomenon which, in various forms, has always existed. For others, the existence of sport in Antiquity cannot be envisaged because, at that time, it was a cultural practice with a strong religious dimension. Whatever these debates, sport can be defined as an activity practiced alone or in a group, an activity requiring physical qualities, strength, skill, reflexes, endurance, and moral qualities. Practitioners observe rules specific to each sport, exercise for their own pleasure, their health or compete in competitions. This activity is partially institutionalized: many sportsmen and women join specialized clubs, affiliated to federations that define regulations and organize official competitions, Olympic Games, world, national and regional championships, tournaments, grand prix, land or sea races, etc.

The making of education in the South
RIED 261
This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).

Call for papers - Urban studies
Revue « Les Cahiers d'EMAM » (Études sur le monde arabe et la Méditerranée)
Cet appel vise à documenter les transformations des quartiers non réglementaires dans les villes du Maghreb. L'hypothèse générale retenue est celle de l’intégration progressive des quartiers non réglementaires à la ville. Toutefois, tous les quartiers ne suivent pas cette trajectoire : si certains d’entre eux semblent effectivement s’intégrer sous le double effet des politiques urbaines et des initiatives privées, d’autres restent sans doute marqués par le sous-équipement, la précarité économique et l’exclusion sociale. En outre, l’intégration des espaces n’implique pas forcément celle des habitants. C’est même l’inverse qui semble se produire quand les habitants se trouvent dans l’obligation de déménager à cause de la hausse des prix de l’immobilier dans les mois qui suivent l’équipement des quartiers. Mais où ces derniers vont-ils trouver à se loger alors ? La viabilisation de certains secteurs ne s’accompagne-t-elle pas de nouvelles formes d’exclusion ?

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM): Power and Territorialization in the Global South
“EchoGéo” Journal
This thematic dossier of EchoGéo explores artisanal and small-scale mining through the prism of the geography of power. The craze for artisanal mining has to be seen in the context of poverty, as a desirable prospect despite the precarious conditions it offers and the great risks it exposes workers to. Scientific research and debate on artisanal mining have largely focused on these issues, often compartmentalised according to the regions studied and/or specific minerals. The aim of this issue is to examine the differences and similarities in the profound transformations taking place as a result of the expansion of this activity almost everywhere in the world, by approaching this diversity through the relations of power and territorialisation surrounding this activity.

Être franc-comtois aujourd’hui
L’attachement régional en questions : génération(s), migration(s), transmission
La disparition de l’entité administrative régionale (même si la fusion en a maintenu le nom) a rendu paradoxalement plus aiguë la question de ce que signifie aujourd’hui être franc-comtois. Ce colloque ne propose pas uniquement de définir et de décrire ce qui fonde cette identité collective, mais de comprendre comment elle se construit, comme elle se transmet, comment elle évolue. Le colloque sera l’occasion d’exposer la déclinaison des « marqueurs d’identité » comme facteurs d’attachement, mais surtout leur interaction autour de trois axes : le patrimoine naturel, le patrimoine économique et le patrimoine culturel.

The American Developmental State : The Origins of American Capitalism in Comparative Perspective
How can we best account for the historical trajectory of American capitalism over the “long” nineteenth century ? With this conference we aim to deploy the idea of an “American developmental state” as a lens for investigating the formative years of US capitalism. Now is an opportune moment to reconsider the role of government in US economic history.

Digitalisation and creation of alternative monetary and financial spaces
This workshop proposes to explore the intersection between digitalisation and alternative monetary spaces developed in response to the sustainable development objectives. The Covid 19 pandemic has accentuated the challenges posed by digitalisation and highlighted its contradictory characteristics. On the one hand, the phenomenon allows, thanks to its technical potential, the valorization of local initiatives; on the other hand, it can favor forms of dehumanization and predation, likely to undermine the collective trust on which these spaces are based. The workshop proposed to address the contradictory nature of digitalisation processes from the perspective of their potential to strenghten and/or challenge economic and social cohesion.

Politics and territories in education and training
Stakes, debates and perspectives
Le colloque a pour objectif de réfléchir aux rapports entre les politiques d’éducation et de formation et les territoires à partir de trois axes : 1) la mise en œuvre et la réception des politiques dans les territoires ; 2) le questionnement portant sur le changement de nom de la section « sciences de l’éducation » en « sciences de l’éducation et de la formation » et enfin 3) le territoire compris comme un ensemble structuré d’espaces de cheminement. Les trois axes sont ouverts aux réflexions philosophiques, épistémologiques, éducatives, communicationnelles et socio-politiques sur la manière d’aborder les liens entre politiques et territoires, entre éducation et formation.

Artistic, Digital, and Political Creation in English-Speaking African Countries
Africa 2020
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. Even if this cultural focus cannot be abstracted from a broader geopolitical agenda marred by controversial presidential declarations, it nevertheless has the potential to offer a somewhat different coverage of the continent. One can only hope that it avoids the temptation to officially “curate into being” “exceptional” artists (Dovey), tapping into the all-too-familiar image of Africa as “the supreme receptacle of the West’s obsession with, and circular discourse about, the facts of ‘absence,’ ‘lack,’ and ‘non-being,’ of identity and difference” (Mbembe).

Africa 2020: Artistic, digital, and political creation in english-speaking African countries
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. The peer-reviewed journal of Aix-Marseille Université research centre on Anglophone Studies (LERMA), E-rea, has decided to seize the opportunity of Africa 2020 to dedicate a special issue to contemporary artistic, digital, and political creation in English-speaking African countries. Heeding Kenyan political analyst Nanjala Nyabola’s advice to eschew the too reductive ‘Africa rising’ and ‘Africa failing’ narratives in favour of ‘Africa being’ stories, this special issue wishes to focus on “stories reflecting the ambivalence, complexity, challenges and opportunities of African societ[ies] in an increasingly connected world”.

Public markets and vast infrastructure projects: the management of ethical risks
Les marchés publics et les grands projets d’infrastructure sont vulnérables aux risques éthiques qui menacent l’intégrité de ces investissements publics majeurs. Ces risques éthiques sont multiples et relèvent aussi bien de la culture des organisations que des modes de gestion privilégiés ou des structures de gouvernance, des pressions économiques ou politiques, de défaillances de leadership moral, etc. Quelles contraintes génèrent des risques dans les écosystèmes des marchés publics ? Quels instruments, processus et structures sont à même de prévenir ces risques éthiques ? Quelles attentes légitimes doit-on adresser aux acteurs décisionnels ? Ce ne sont là que quelques questions auxquelles ce numéro d’Éthique publique souhaite apporter un éclairage pertinent et novateur.

Care, inequalities, and policies in the South
Revue internationale des études du développement
The aim of this issue is, in a journal focused on development, to gather works presenting the issue of care, which lies at the intersection of the division of labor in care (taken in its broad acception, including paid and unpaid work and taking into account its intrinsic complexity) and of the social organization of care in countries of the South. This issue will favor an interdisciplinary approach. Authors from all the social and human sciences may submit papers. Authors should explore care work and social organization through local, national, international, and transnational analyses. The contextualization of empirical studies and original corpuses, and the combination of a sound theoretical approach and fieldwork are expected.

Rationalization, dominance and mobilizations
Work is neither a subject omitted by the research on the Horn of Africa, however this is nor an object of study in its own right. Scholars generally subordinate analysis of work to analysis of development. On the one hand this concept of development is linked with an optimistic vision which highlights the successes of the developmental State implemented in Ethiopia. On the other hand, development is associated to a pessimistic view of the country, focused on poverty reduction.

Financialization and development policies
Critical perspectives on new financial circuits for international development projects
In this conference we look at the ways in which private finance actors or practices are enrolled and associated to the conception and implementation of policies for international development. In parallel to the implementation of policies oriented towards “development goals”, the development landscape has seen over the last decades a transformation in partaking actors that now encompass charitable foundations, multi-national corporations, and financial intermediaries, in addition to multilateral or bilateral public development banks and aid agencies. “Financing development“, in other words finding additional monetary resources, has now become an issue at the top of the agenda of multilateral development actors. Increasingly, these strive to commit private actors and to “lever in“ private money.

The impact of social public policies and their evaluation
Les politiques publiques divisent depuis longtemps la communauté des sciences sociales, les promoteurs et les praticiens du welfare, les politiques et les citoyens : ont-elles l’impact espéré ? Sont-elles efficaces ? Sont-elles équitables ? Comment et à quelle hauteur faut-il les financer ? Comment les réguler ? Sont-elles « supérieures » au marché ?
