Call for papers - Urban studies
Espaces et sociétés
In a general context of growing social inequalities, this issue reviews the role that housing plays in the system of inequalities, on the one hand, and in the multiple variations of housing inequalities, on the other. Faced with growing tensions in the housing market, we seek contributions that capture the changes at work in a field well-trodden by urban studies. Produced by class domination, racism and gender, how are today's inequalities intersect in analyses of access and housing conditions? How are inequalities produced in housing, who are the actors, what is the role of public policy? Beside typical situations, we encourage contributors to provide analyses of minority forms of housing as "social fact park" or de facto social housing in the private sector and existing housing stock and via third parties. Finally, this Call for Papers asks what are the consequences of housing inequality on the (re)production of inequality, and the changing classificatory function of housing.

Zone: the space of a life on the margins
Espaces et sociétés
While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).

Business, consumption and territory
Le commerce de détail est passé d’une fonction de distribution associée à la société de production à une fonction polyforme associée à la société de consommation, où la dimension ludique ou « distractive » prend une place d’importance. Les lieux du commerce se transforment sous l’effet conjugué des contraintes urbanistiques (urbanisme commercial), de la montée des nouveaux modes d’achat (e-commerce, m-commerce, t-commerce) et de la diversification des profils des consommateurs. L’objectif de ce séminaire est donc d’approfondir ces nouvelles problématiques liées au commerce de détail et à la consommation.

Residential trajectories and the politics of housing, 2000s
Revue française des affaires sociales journal no.3 - 2016
Le logement apparaît comme un élément constitutif du bien-être social et de la politique de protection sociale depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. En témoignent de nombreux épisodes de la lutte contre les slums en Grande-Bretagne, de nombreuses actions privées relayées ensuite par des dispositifs légaux en France (loi Siegfried de 1894, ou Loucheur de 1928…), puis la mise en place d’aides au logement dans la branche famille de la sécurité sociale en 1948, les suites données aux actions de l’Abbé Pierre et de l’association Emmaüs dans les années suivantes, etc. La Revue française des affaires sociales recherche des contributions qui s’intéressent aussi bien au logement proprement dit (l’endroit-maison, appartement ou résidence – où l’on s'abrite le jour et la nuit), qu’à l’habitat (caractéristiques du « milieu » dans lequel une population peut vivre et s’épanouir)

What place for public space in the urban dynamics of Mediterranean cities?
Public spaces and their dynamics
Les espaces publics sont à la mode. Progressivement, depuis les années 1980, ils sont revenus au centre des politiques d’aménagement, de déplacement, d’images, de développement durable des métropoles et des villes moyennes. Mais ces espaces multiformes posent des questions complexes en retour concernant les nouvelles pratiques qui s’y déploient, autour des qualités qu’on leur attribue et autour de leur place dans les politiques de développement durable.
