Describing, inhabiting and governing Urban Fringe Landscapes
Narbonne, France, 5th to 7th november, 2014
The goal of this conference is to question European urban fringes, which we define as precise or graduated transitional spaces where the city leaves space for something else : countryside, forests, “nature,” wasteland or fallow awaiting projects... These urban fringes can be understood at different scales, from the overall agglomeration down to the quarter or even at the installation project scale. This conference is designed as a moment of exchange making it possible to compare research and management experiences around this original object concentrating numerous issues. Different axes of analysis are proposed : Landscapes and urban fringe physiognomies ; agricultures and cities ; nature and biodiversity ; Urban margins : marginalising and social mixing ; Urban limits under constraint: risks and protected spaces.

Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870
Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.

Luxury in all its States: Foundations, Dynamic and Plurality
This issue of “Revues Etudes Caribéennes” aims to reflect upon the concept of luxury, to invest the luxury in all its states. It comes to question the foundations of luxury, from the theory to the materiality, from the manufacture to the consumption, between provocative distinction and aesthetization in all walk of life. Within the context of this thematic issue, luxury is envisaged a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from philosophy to sociology, from the economy to the development of the territory... Imputs may approach luxury a specific angle (economics of luxury, the luxury throughout history). They can treat a particular dimension of luxury, through an emblematic product or construction of luxury territories. Special attention will be paid to the luxury industry with its brands and its logic of creation and production. Finally, luxury exist through the construction of its legends which are formed from many distinctive indicators that stimulate both the casual and the exclusive consumers.

Belonging and appropriation in the city
Márgenes journal issue 14
La revue accepte des articles originaux écrits en français et en espagnol. Observer et comprendre l'appropriation implique que l'on considère plusieurs dimensions : économique, politique, culturelle et urbaine. Le dialogue entre l'architecture, les sciences de l’espace et les sciences humaines, tel qu’il est engagé par la revue Márgenes, propose d’envisager ces perspectives intersubjectives, mais aussi de s’interroger sur l’agir, dès lors que les acteurs de la fabrique de la ville se confrontent autour de l'appropriation de l’espace.

The War of Spain, between emptiness and excess
Repercussions, representations and reconstructions of conflicts marked by excess (1936-2014)
Par son déchaînement de bruit et de fureur, la guerre d’Espagne a affecté les acteurs du conflit aussi bien que ses victimes et ses témoins, entraînant l’intervention de puissances étrangères, l’engagement d’intellectuels du monde entier et l’exode massif de citoyens espagnols. Son retentissement a été tel qu’elle a inspiré une définition officielle de la notion de guerre civile lors des conventions de Genève de 1949 afin de combler un vide juridique et de définir un cadre légal qui protège les civils des excès de ce type d’affrontement. Ces dernières années, la guerre civile espagnole a été étudiée sous différents angles, mais jamais ses représentations n’ont été analysées dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire qui s’attache au traitement de l’espace et des acteurs en mettant en regard tout ce qui a, intentionnellement ou non, disparu, laissé une trace ou été surexposé. Penser la guerre d’Espagne revient à poser la question de l’excès, que celui-ci soit une vacuité exacerbée traduisant l’absence – figurale, mémorielle, architecturale ou verbale – ou un trop-plein marqué par une prise de position ou une sur-médiatisation de faits, d’acteurs et d’espaces.

Iberian circulation on a global scale
À l’époque moderne, le Portugal et l’Espagne sont aux premières loges de la « première mondialisation » et les sujets des rois ibériques migrent et circulent vers d’autres continents emportant leur culture, leur religion, leurs goûts, leurs préjugés, leurs intérêts, leurs pratiques et représentations de l’altérité. Les travaux les plus récents s’écartent des approches à l’échelle nationale ou des schémas centre-périphéries pour mettre l’accent sur ce qui cimente l’empire et en fait un espace polycentrique : les circulations de toutes sortes donnent en effet corps aux monarchies planétaires de l’époque moderne. Le propos de ce dossier est donc d’analyser de manière plus précise les circulations qui relient les hommes et les espaces et font des monarchies de véritables constructions politiques, sociales et culturelles. Nous nous attacherons plus aux « circulations ordinaires », celles qui concernent l’ensemble des sujets des monarchies espagnoles et portugaises (et parfois leurs voisins).

Perspectives and thoughs of Latin America
Development and democracy in globalisation. Reflections based on the critical social sciences
En prenant appui sur les sciences sociales critiques, ce colloque cherchera à problématiser la situation latinoaméricaine en contexte de globalisation. Pour cela, il proposera d’organiser la réflexion autour de deux axes majeurs: le développement d’une part, la démocratie d’autre part. Pour chacun de ces axes, il proposera d’analyser les concepts utilisés pour rendre compte de la réalité latino-américaine, mais aussi de voir dans quelle mesure les pratiques alternatives en matière de développement et de démocratie sont porteuses de savoirs spécifiques. Ce colloque cherchera à proposer un espace où pourront être discutés à la fois des regards critiques mobilisés sur l'Amérique latine et des savoirs critiques produits par l'Amérique latine en les situant dans le cadre, synchronique et diachronique, des relations qu’elles entretiennent avec d’autres régions du globe : Europe, Afrique, Asie…

Communication in the tourist sector: strategies for all participants in the areas of tourism
International conference
Although the tourism communication concept is still to be defined precisely, this international conference aims at exploring the relationships between communication strategies for those who are involved in the tourism industry and tourists. A further complication is that lots of areas are more and more very proposed with a particular identifying emblem. Communication in the tourist industry today is diverse and, from a tourist’s point of view, very confusing. The Conference aims to provide a critical dialogue beyond disciplinary boundaries: Communication research, Geography, Cultural Studies, History, Sociology and Tourism Studies. We’d like to investigate in particular the areas and the actions of communication in the tourist sector.

Expressions of emotions : description and interpretation
Emotions are multimodal responses. They manifest themselves in experience, physiology and behaviour – e.g. in social interaction. Emotional behaviours include the so-called expressions of emotions. Now, expressions are directly accessible to others, in contrast to private experience and the greatest part of physiology. On the one hand, expressions can be seen as symptomatic signs of an organic state or as conventional signs embedded in social interactions. On the other hand, they can be interpreted as acts that transform the situation, doing, as it were, a work on it. Considered as signs or acts, expressions of emotions can be studied experimentally in the laboratory or naturalistically in the field, as well as through a variety of corpora made of texts, videos, films, etc.

Espaces et sociétés journal
En France ou à l'étranger, l’appel à articles souhaite cerner les logiques et les conséquences socio-spatiales de l'inflation carcérale et de la multiplication des espaces d'enfermement contraint et prolongé (centres éducatifs fermés, centres de rétention administrative, etc.). Quelles sont les spécificités des territoires qui accueillent ces espaces d'enfermement et quelles sont celles des territoires d'où viennent les détenus ? Quels sont les liens entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur, entre le lieu d'enfermement et son environnement ? Quels sont les rapports à l'espace à l'intérieur de ces lieux dont beaucoup sont aujourd’hui surpeuplés ? Espace d’ennui, de danger, de contrôle, de tri, de trafic, d'addiction, de maladie, de persécution, d'intégrisme et de folie, de suicide mais aussi de professionnalisation, d'amitié, d'amour, d'instruction scolaire, de sevrage, de remise en forme, de politisation, l'espace carcéral concentre les contrastes. Comment est-il affecté par le surpeuplement ? Quelles sont les résistances, adaptations, révoltes des salariés, des bénévoles, des détenus et de leurs familles ?
