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 ...).

Canada – Quebec – Caribbean: transamerican connections
Les liens entre la région Caraïbe, la province de Québec et le Canada sont anciens et diversifiés. Tourisme, coopérations scientifiques et techniques, extractions de ressources, migrations sont autant de ponts tracés entre le centre géographique des Amériques et son extrémité septentrionale. Plus récemment, c’est dans les secteurs de la préservation de l’environnement, de la participation aux projets régionaux de développement, des migrations transnationales et de l’étude des mémoires partagées que ces relations transcontinentales opèrent leurs mutations afin de se présenter comme des éléments essentiels à la compréhension de « notre Amérique ».

Social and tecnical Innovations for water management
8th congress CEISAL
De tout temps l’innovation tant technique que sociale, a fait partie de l’histoire de la maîtrise et de la gestion de l’eau : procédés d’irrigation développés par les grandes sociétés de la Mésopotamie Antique et de l’Espagne musulmane, organisation sociale du partage de l’eau dans les sociétés indiennes ou latino-américaines, transferts interbassins ou barrages, etc. Mais dans un contexte plus récent de dégradation quantitative et qualitative de cette ressource, de changements climatiques, de croissance urbaine accélérée des grandes métropoles, d’une agriculture irriguée largement sollicitée, d’un cadre institutionnel en évolution, l’innovation est de nouveau interrogée pour répondre aux besoins en eau.

Political discourse and political discussion
El discurso político y los discursos políticos
La recherche linguistique porte depuis longtemps une attention toute particulière aux discours politiques, qui sont présents dans nos sociétés à travers des médias qui contribuent à édifier l’espace public et qui diffusent plus ou moins explicitement leurs tendances idéologiques, offrant ainsi des perspectives d’analyse très variées.

The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time
With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Travailler n’est pas exécuter. Ce hiatus entre ce qui est défini comme étant à faire et ce qui est fait conduit à explorer l’épaisseur du travail. On y découvre l’invention de manières de faire qui permettent de singulariser l’activité, la mobilisation et le détournement de moyens visant à dépasser les obstacles rencontrés… Arts de faire, métis, bricolage, intelligence pratique, renormalisation, stylisation... Autant de conceptualisations de la puissance inventive engagée dans le travail vivant.

Texts, territories, technologies: another extraordinary journey
6th Hispano-Luso- French conference
Ce colloque interdisciplinaire se propose d'analyser l’évolution de ces savoirs mobilisés tels que la langue, la littérature, la géographie, les sciences « dures » ou encore l’histoire. La prise en compte de ces savoirs « hétérogènes », les mécanismes de leur transmission, ainsi que le développement individualisé que ces sciences ont eu, seront au cœur de nos interrogations.

Social movements and powers - distances and spaces
Amnis journal issue 15
Alors qu’au tournant du XXIe siècle on s’accordait pour reconnaître que l’État était fragilisé par la mondialisation, mais aussi par les différentes modalités de décentralisation, la montée des identités territoriales et ethniques et l’accélération des processus d’intégration économiques et politiques, on constate à présent que de nouveaux facteurs amplifient cette érosion. Dans de nombreux pays, les élites gouvernantes sont remises en question par une partie importante de la société civile, qui exige parallèlement – et paradoxalement – la mise en place d’un État fort d’un nouveau type. Si l’on regarde de près ces « nouveaux » mouvements sociaux, on observe que certains refusent d’être récupérés par l’État, que d’autres adoptent une « forme syndicale » ou, encore, se constituent en partis politiques et deviennent la cheville ouvrière du changement de nature de l’État.

One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

Call for papers - Urban studies
The cities of urban research have long been and still are widely today, the "great cities". But the realities of urban are not limited to them. In France for example the small and medium-sized cities house more than a quarter of the population. What does the observation of these cities bring to knowledge of the urban phenomenon? On the other hand, in the research devoted to major metropoles, it is often very specific neighborhoods that are the subject of attention of research as well as the media: social housing developments or the central gentrified neighborhoods. But more "ordinary" neighbourhoods are not often the focus. What does the observation of these neighbourhoods that we do not talk about "say" about the city? In other words, we would like to call on work that offers openings of the typologies of cities as the typologies of neighbourhoods that are subjacent to the discourse and debates on the urban.

Contractual uncertainty: Freedom and constraints at work
Dans la dynamique de spécification du travail et des activités productives à l’égard des autres activités sociales, les institutions juridiques jouent un rôle crucial. L’élaboration d’un droit de travail et le développement d'assurances sociales reposant sur la cotisation des employeurs et des salariés introduisent des catégories nouvelles dans la vie sociale et économique. Ils enjoignent les acteurs économiques à se reconnaître dans l'une ou l’autre catégorie. Mais que se passe-t-il avant l’entrée en vigueur d'un Code du travail, la reconnaissance d’un contrat de travail ou l’identification d'une catégorie de « chômeur » permettant de regrouper dans une condition commune ceux qui travaillent pour un même « employeur » ?

Call for papers - Urban studies
In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.
