Crossing urban Planning cultures in time of conflict and reconciliation
Views on continental Europe, 1937-1945. Session 69 – EAUH 2026
The aim of this approach is to consider how national urban planning traditions are shaped by conflict-related constraints during periods of escalation towards war and of occupation. National historiographies have long considered this period as a parenthesis in the circulation of ideas and models. In contrast to this approach, the perspective of the session involves an in-depth investigation of urban planning theories on a European scale, as well as an analysis of personal and institutional exchanges, technical transfers and expertises before and during World War II.

Understanding and reconverting tertiary vacancy
The vacancy of tertiary buildings is a growing issue in urban and regional dynamics. While vacant offices are a visible symptom of economic, social and environmental mutations, they also represent an opportunity to rethink the role of business districts and the uses of the city as a whole. The aim is to analyse tertiary vacancy in France and Europe for identifying the potential for converting unoccupied buildings, whether into housing or other functions: coliving, hotels, industrial or commercial activities, data centres, living labs, collaborative spaces, etc.

Exploring the Autonomy of Cities
Philosophical, Legal, and Policy Dimensions
We seek contributions that explore the conditions under which cities should be granted autonomy, the implications of autonomy for equality, and the challenges specific to cities in navigating their relationship with regional, national, and global governance systems. The aim is to foster a robust dialogue on whether autonomy (and in which form? which constitutional status?) is the appropriate framework for empowering cities or if alternative approaches, such as empowerment through subsidiarity, are better suited to achieving justice and effective governance.

Disability: spatial and geographical approaches
By examining the characteristics of societies and cultures in relation to disability, the concerns of disability studies are useful for geography, as they enable us to reflect on spatial barriers and on the diversity of ways of perceiving or representing space. Over and above the question of accessibility, spatial approaches enable us to reflect on the habitability of territories, whether highly urbanized or rural, in terms of disability.

Questioning the Profession: Architect and Planner Cooperatives
Revue « Clara » #12
CLARA is launching a new call for papers entitled "Questioning the Profession: Architect and Planner Cooperatives" for the 12th issue of the journal. In opposition to the glorification of the singular figure of the architect, the twentieth century saw the emergence of numerous initiatives seeking to invent new, more collective and interdisciplinary forms of practice. Cooperative associations from the global North and South sought to overcome individual authorship by linking design activities with political militancy and social engagement. By studying cases of architect and planner cooperatives from different countries and cultural contexts, this issue of Clara invites contributions which critically reflect on the political, social and disciplinary issues that favored the creation of these organizations, and how they were managed.

Since 2003, our summer university has positionned itself as a leading platform for reflection on new research in Food Studies. After several thematic editions, this 2024 edition will continue its ambition to provide a resolutely broad overview of these fields of research from a multidisciplinary perspective. Over the last twenty years or so, new themes have emerged and given new impetus to research in food studies. How do they fit together within the various disciplines of humanities and social sciences, from anthropology and history to sociology and literary studies ? How can young researchers position themsleves in relation to the wide-ranging possibilities offered by this field of research ? Leading specialists from different disciplinary backgrounds will address these questions through the prism of their own research.

Armenian Diaspora(s) in Motion: Places, Stakeholders and Practices in the 21st Century
Since diaspora studies emerged in the 1980s, the Armenian dispersion has played a prominent role in the scholarly literature seeking to understand and classify the nature, forms, and effects of diasporas as social formations. However, 40 years after the rise of diaspora studies, one has to admit that far from offering a stable paradigm, the Armenian diaspora (an expression that should be used in the plural) has undergone numerous transformations. The objective of this 2-day conference will be to reflect on these contemporary reshapings of the Armenian diaspora(s), revealing their diversity and the new dynamics at work.
