  The heritage value of biodiversity and the governance of natural resources in light of environmental stress

  Seminar on natural resources managment in configurations of environmental risk

  Le séminaire « Patrimonialisation de la biodiversité et gouvernance des ressources naturelles à la lumière du stress environnemental et sociétal est organisé à l'IFRA de Nairobi en relation avec un ensemble de recherches croisant les thèmes du patrimoine de la biodiversité, la création des aires protégées et les questions de gouvernances des ressources naturelles.Organisé autour de « cas d’école », ce séminaire pose la question de la gouvernance des ressources naturelles dans des configurations qui témoignent d’une interdépendance croissante entre les changements climatiques, l’accessibilité aux ressources naturelles et l'évolution des normes internationales en matière de protection de la nature. Il porte plus spécifiquement sur la capacité de sociétés vulnérables à intervenir, voir à gérer des situations de stress qu’elles soient environnementales et/ou sociétales.

  Re-conceptualizing the social

  First Jean Brunhes Conference

  The first Jean Brunhes conference will focus on current re-conceptions of the social. To what extent do new perspectives in Human Heography focusing on concepts such as practice, performance, assemblage, network or system represent an epistemological shift? Do they add to, redefine or replace more traditional concepts within human geography such as space, place, territory or region? What kind of knowledge do these perspectives produce and how do they transform the relationship between knowledge and action? What are the political consequences of these perspectives? And what’s next?

  Governing Rural–Urban Relationships and Periurban Areas in France and Australia

  Different Land Use Cultures, Same Issues?

  The governance of rural–urban relationships has become a very challenging issue in many countries around the world over the two last decades. Many competing interests are embedded in it: agriculture, metropolitan development, biodiversity conservation, water resources use, etc. Many conflicts take place in periurban areas, for instance. These conflicts are signs of a more general evolution of rural – urban relationships in a context of global change – eg. global warming, loss of biodiversity, the global food challenge, the petrol crisis. This seminar aims to compare how these challenges are tackled in France and in Australia. Considering the differences between the political and institutional contexts of various countries, it will be a great opportunity to think about the role of land use culture in different governance systems. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT.

  Regional Water Management and Adaptive Management

  How to deal with multi-scalar issues?

  This seminar aims to discuss the interactions between regionalisation of water management and adaptive management. Regionalisation embeds many scales of time and space, which have to be combined to improve and change stakeholder practices. The seminar will bring together international specialists to analyse how adaptive management can deal with institutional, technical and political multi-scalar issues in order to foster change of practises. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT.

  16th International Cave Bear Symposium

  Partout en Europe les recherches sur l'ours des cavernes connaissent maintenant un développement considérable grâce au Symposium international de l'ours des cavernes (ICBS). Depuis sa création en 1993 par le Professeur Docteur Rabeder de l'Institut de Paléontologie de Vienne (Autriche), il a lieu chaque année dans une ville différente d'Europe. Cette année, en 2010, il se tiendra à Azé (Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne, France) du 22 au 26 septembre. Ce sera l'occasion de faire le point sur des sites importants de Bourgogne, les grottes d'Azé, les grottes de Blanot et la Brèche de Château. Nous avons décidé d'ajouter une deuxième journée de communications centrées sur le lion des cavernes et plus largement sur les félidés, avec l'espoir de faire évoluer de la même façon les recherches dans un domaine bien souvent délaissé.

  "There is no such thing as nature!" Redefining the Concept & Future of Nature in Contemporary Art

  Cette journée tentera de proposer une définition complétée/nouvelle de l’idée de nature en ciblant les interventions sur la production artistique contemporaine. Elle s’intéressera dans un premier temps à penser le paysage contemporain en évoquant les notions de paysage culturel et de paysage comme métaphores des problèmes de société. Dans un second temps, nous nous interrogerons sur la relation qu’entretiennent les hommes à la nature alors que les manipulations génétiques vont bon train, confondant régulièrement les limites entre l’homme et l’animal.
