  Espaces périphériques et fragmentations internes : proximités géographiques et discontinuités sociales

  Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques face aux risques majeurs. Le retour de la distance

  Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques se caractérisent par un éloignement certain des espaces métropolitains et des grands centres de commandement. Cela se traduit par des formes d’isolement, de marginalisation, et par une plus faible intégration à l’économie globale. La proximité n’est alors ni simple à définir, ni une protection contre les inégalités et les injustices spatiales. Elle reste un enjeu contemporain et futur. Dans cette perspective, sont attendues des propositions mettant en valeur ces fragmentations sur un de ces espaces périphériques ou ultrapériphériques. La proposition peut être faite à l’échelle de l’espace ou à une échelle plus fine, mais toujours interactive. D’autres propositions peuvent s’intéresser aux politiques mises en œuvre, avec les effets espérés.

  Gold: wealth or curse?

  Revue « Afrique contemporaine »

  Recent years have brought a dramatic upsurge in Africa’s gold output – boosting the export earnings and goverment revenues of producer countries, fuelling hopes of additional resources for development. But many also fear there could be negative spillovers, particularly in eroding stability and good governance, the so-called “resource curse”. These are just two facets of what is a wide debate debate, as the gold sector has multiple economic, political, environmental and symbolic ramifications. This issue of Afrique contemporaine aims to provide studies on different aspects, focusing as much as possible on the link between gold and the various forms of conflict.

  “Privileged Migrations” Studies and the Plurality of Power Relations

  This thematic dossier builds on the framework of privileged migrations studies to analyze the multiple power relations that are forged around international or overseas mobility, the resources that enable it, the benefits that it generates, the social mobility that it induces, and the forms of domination that it consolidates or reconfigures. This thematic dossier aims to account for dominant positions characterized by the accumulation of resources, advantages, and benefits accumulated through migration, as well as more ambivalent migratory experiences where the exercise of domination and the experience of minorization are intertwined and where migratory privilege must be nuanced. The contributions analyze the subjective experience of these advantageous social positions in migration, while approaching them relationally.

  Atmospheres in Film

  Revue « Ambiances »

  L′objectif de ce numéro de la revue Ambiances n’est pas de définir l’atmosphère au cinéma de manière définitive, mais plutôt de permettre l’émergence de nouveaux dialogues interdisciplinaires. Pour ce faire, nous accueillerons des contributions issues de différents domaines de recherche et qui proposeront des approches aussi bien esthétiques, techniques, historiques, communicationnelles, philosophiques, phénoménologiques que psychologiques. En diversifiant les approches de l’atmosphère au cinéma et l’éventail des œuvres étudiées (fiction, documentaire, expérimental, films d’animation, etc.), nous espérons que chaque article pourra agir comme une surface réfléchissante nous permettant de révéler la richesse de ce terme.

  Thinking cityness from East African cities

  “EchoGeo” – N° 67 (january-march 2024)

  This issue of EchoGeo seeks to explore East Africa’s contribution to the debate on cityness and city life in urban studies. This contribution has been growing over the past ten years, reflecting the accelerated urbanization of this part of the continent. Despite heterogeneous situations, the depth of the social transformations brought about by the urban transition has stirred major debates on city life and cityness in this part of Africa, once regarded as a bastion of African rurality. This initially led to the emergence of a scientific dialogue between East African cities themselves. However, this conversation has now opened up beyond this sub-region: researchers who work in East Africa have now engaged in broader international debates about city life, converse with urban scholars from other parts of the world, and are involved in comparative research projects that cross-cut regional divides (Rizzo and Atzeni, 2020).

  Les outre-mers français face aux risques : gestion, acceptabilité sociale et conflictualité

  Revue « EchoGéo »

  Les onze territoires habités sur les trois océans qui constituent les outre-mers français, se caractérisent par une exposition à des aléas dont les effets peuvent être particulièrement dévastateurs. Les événements exceptionnels engendrent des crises et révèlent rapidement les défaillances des systèmes d’urgence notamment sanitaire. Une nouvelle façon d’appréhender les risques par la vulnérabilité et l’exposition des enjeux a conforté une logique institutionnelle, mais celle-ci se heurte, bien qu’en apparence plus participative, à l’opposition des habitants des espaces ultramarins. L’objectif de ce dossier de la revue Echogéo est précisément de mettre au centre de l’analyse le rapport des habitants ultramarins avec les risques auxquels ils sont confrontés et à leur gestion.

  Socio-spatial representations and relationship with others

  The fifth call for papers from the International Conference of the Cartotête network intends to bring together researchers interested in the impact of the relationship with others in the process of cognitive mapping. Our biannual conference will be devoted to themes which aim to better understand to which extent the relationship with others affects the social representations of geographical space, so as for broadening the horizon of research works carried out on the collective memory and the social space. Relevance will be granted to the alterity, especially in its contemporary and concrete reality without excluding its symbolic dimensions.

  Music Across Borders

  Artists, Industries and Representations in and beyond Europe

  In recognition of the ease with which music crosses political, geographical and temporal borders, both by design and more informally, our conference scrutinizes the reasons for and consequences of this movement and exchange, in Europe or between Europe and other continents, without disregarding the struggles and tensions that sometimes emerge when music endeavours or threatens to go beyond those borders.

  What architecture does to ecology

  All over the world, the fight against global warming, the management of resource scarcity, and the preservation of biodiversity increasingly determine the design and construction of buildings and urbanized spaces. This symposium aims to wonder about the possible retroaction effects: if ecology undoubtedly changes architecture, to what extent does architecture also change ecology?

  Between communication and participation

  Usages du « transmedia storytelling » en aménagement et urbanisme

  Ce colloque s'intéresse au croisement de la communication et de la participation, aux usages du transmedia storytelling en urbanisme. La recherche en études urbaines s’est largement intéressée à la manière dont l’exercice de l’urbanisme, tant du point de vue de la planification que du projet, s’apparentait aux pratiques narratives. De plus en plus régulièrement, la planification et le projet urbain recourent au récit pour communiquer leurs intentions. Or le récit ne mobilise pas qu’un seul support. Il est traduit en différents médias. Notre hypothèse est que cette traduction vise l’implication du public dans l’élaboration de récits parallèles. Ce sont les interactions entre un « système médiatique », une diversité de « plateformes », une hétérogénéité des « publics » et une multiplicité des « modes d’engagement » qui doivent être analysées.

  Migration and Development. Political Implications

  Since the middle of the 2000s, the subject of the relationship between migration and development has become a mainstream issue. Considered as commonplace institutional object, present at all levels of public action, the migrations development nexus is characterized today by a depoliticized and instrumental treatment, based on an economic approach. This institutional depoliticisation tends to invisibilize the political dynamics to which it contributes. With this in mind, this special issue aims of Revue Européenne des Migrations Internationales to bring the critical studies of the relationship between migration and development back to the center of the scientific debate. It aims at grasping the contemporary political processes running through the discourses, practices and governance spaces of migration and developement initiatives, while contributing to the development of scientific knowledge of contemporary political and militant struggles in the field of migration and development.

  Global changes and transition management: in the singular or plural form?

  Major disruptions impact present times on a global scale that should engage our societies to adapt to face the consequences of these changes. Besides observing and evaluating changes, it is necessary to prepare men and women to become aware of their roles and influences to implement the required transitions. Scientific research has a duty to contribute to debates on the urgency of the situation and how to accompany climate, energy, digital and democratic transitions. The symposium organised by the research team Sphères of the University of Liège invite you to take stock of these issues of global changes and the transition management.

  Migration intermediaries

  Journal of international migration

  Political and media rhetoric in Europe or North America reduces the category of migration intermediaries to that of “smugglers or traffickers, described as greedy and unscrupulous”. This vague and reductive figure helps to legitimize repressive and humanitarian policies towards migrants, who then mobilize different resources, networks and strategies in order to move around, often taking ever greater risks. To be satisfied with this reading, which makes the migration issue a crisis to be solved, inevitably obscures the diversity of actors involved in “migratory globalization”. The complexity of their role, interests and actions is evaded, even though it cuts across many institutions, including the States themselves. Indeed, the latter contribute, through the policies they deploy and the treaties they sign, sometimes to the detriment of international law, for purposes of control and repression, but also for the management and supervision of the workforce, to the emergence of a myriad of actors who are indispensable to both movement and settlement.

  Epistemology, methodology and reflexivity in geography

  Diversifying and renewing views to embrace the practices

  Subject to the dominant logic of academic productivity, today’s geographers pressured by the lack of time to think about their research and not only about its outputs. Through this first edition “Epistemology, methodology and reflexivity in geography: diversifying and renewing the views to embrace the practices” of the study days of the J.I Geo network, the ambition is to take a step back and reflect on young researchers (postgraduate students and recent PhD graduates), including non-geographers, who use a geographical approach in their work, whether human, physical or geomatic, are invited to contribute to this reflection. We make the assumption conferences tends to standardize the content by formalizing a way of producing thought. This is why these panels will allow longer and freer interventions (video, dialogue, gesticulated conference, participative theater, sound immersion, etc.).

  Japan and its doubles. Study and representation of Japan’s territory and spatial planning through art and literature

  « Ebisu. Études japonaises » – special issue

  This special issue of Ebisu. Études japonaises focuses on the hypothetical heuristic value and the equally hypothetical performative role that artistic and literary representations, and even myths, play in the making of Japanese territory and the evolution of the reasoning and principles of their planning. Conversely, this issue also seeks to measure and analyse the impact of the dynamics of spatial planning on Japanese artistic and literary production, and even on possible inflections of the great myths that structure them.

  Making with the milieu


  Art, design and the mediality of landscape

  This call for paper deals with the ways of making the landscape in art and design and in the media. A symbolic revolution is currently at work, and we would like to report on it and anticipate its possibilities. The Anthropocene paradigm calls for a new conception of the notion of project, understood as the conduct of valuation in relation to the living. More broadly, it is a question of measuring and thinking about the stakes of the present situation by revising the "project values", that is, the relations between situations, means and ends from an ethical, political and aesthetic point of view.
