Work, Health, and Environment between Knowledge and Power (19th–21st Centuries)
This conference seeks to be a multidisciplinary forum (history, sociology, geography, medicine, anthropology, etc.) devoted to analysing the knowledge, practices, and repertoires of action arising from these mobilisations. It welcomes diverse historical and geographical contexts, especially beyond countries of early industrialisation, to document and map past and present struggles against harmfulness.

Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity
Journal Espaces et Sociétés No. 200
Local government service budgets have continued to be cut, exacerbating the social and environmental vulnerabilities that municipalities now have to manage with limited resources. The purpose of this dossier is to focus on the spatial dimension of the continuance and evolution of public goods in a context of austerity. In particular, we encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experiments and bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. The goal is to give space to studies that investigate the relationship between austerity, public goods and care practices.

Precarious housing in the Global South
Public interventions and residents' expériences
This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Dimensions spatiales des pratiques d’asile (trans)nationales dans les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles
Le colloque explore l’articulation entre asile et espace à travers le prisme des études culturelles et littéraires. À la lumière du Spatial Turn, de la Critical Geography, de la Feminist Geography et de la Postcolonial Spatial Theory, l’espace peut être compris comme le produit d’une pratique socialement construite et dynamique. Comment les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles localisent-elles et matérialisent-elles les pratiques d’asile ? Quelles institutions sont mises en exergue et quelles esthétiques suscitent-elles ?

Health, Agriculture and Food in Island Territories: Ecological, Political and Social Issues
This dossier aims to examine the specific configurations of island agri-food systems through an interdisciplinary approach combining geography, sociology, anthropology, public health, political ecology and political science. It focuses equally on agricultural policies and social practices, representations and conflicts of use, and the knowledge circulating in island agricultural communities. It welcomes contributions on all island territories, whether French-speaking or not, independent or not, in a postcolonial or dependent context.

The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension
1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium
The 1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium ‘The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension’ aims to reflect on issues of insularity and archipelagos in the conception of today's world, marked by environmental crises, new trends in human development and reinterpretations of place and its dynamics. Thinking about islands and archipelagos, in all their trans- and inter-material dimensions, equivalences and disparities, influences the conception not only of these discontinued worlds from their continental matrix (in some cases), but also of territories which are assumed to be outside the continent, with ontic possibilities of a truly archipelagic context.

The making of education in the South
RIED 261
This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).

Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity
Espaces et Société n°200, march 2027
This special issue aims to highlight the spatial dimension of public goods maintenance and evolution in the context of austerity by adopting the spatial care perspective through three axes: 1) actors and practices involved in maintaining public goods; 2) maintaining public goods on a day-to-day basis; 3) the work and values of public goods. We encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experimentation, bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. This call is open to interdisciplinary, national and international contributions.

Construction, déconstruction, reconstruction : initiatives ascendantes
VulneRom : Vulnérabilités sociolinguistiques dans l’espace roman
Le premier congrès international VulneRom : Vulnérabilités sociolinguistiques dans l’espace roman se constitue comme une rencontre académique d’interaction, d’échange et de réflexion sur l’étude ethnosociolinguistique des langues romanes qui se trouvent en situation de fragilité pour diverses raisons (démographiques, économiques, politiques, géographiques, voire climatiques, entre autres), qui peuvent conjointement conduire à la disparition desdites langues à court ou à long terme. Le traitement de la question de la vulnérabilité, appliqué au champ d’une famille de langues, telle que la famille romane, dans des situations de contact linguistique, apporte une réflexion complémentaire sur les facteurs intralinguistiques et interlinguistiques qui pourraient se répercuter sur le statut des langues les plus socialement et socialement défavorisées, ou même être exploités pour leur discrédit.

Current State of Haitian Migration
Études caribéennes N° 61, 2025
In Haiti, the migration issue is a key structural factor in understanding the realities of this society. Since the country’s first occupation by the United States in 1915, national life has been punctuated by the massive displacement of Haitians, making it a country of emigration. From 1915 to the post-2010 years, marked by the January 12 earthquake, the country experienced at least six major waves of migration. Starting from these considerations as a powerful factor of expulsion, there is an invitation to take stock of a century and more of Haitian emigration.

L’animation en mouvement : loisirs sportifs et corporels dans l'animation sociale et socioculturelle
40e colloque international de l’ISIAT
Ce colloque a pour vocation de réfléchir sur les actions de « l’animation par le mouvement », les lieux et espaces où elles s’organisent et les modalités d’hybridation des champs professionnels reliés aux loisirs sportifs et corporels ainsi qu’à l’animation sociale et socioculturelle. On entend ainsi « l’animation en mouvement » dans une double acception : par ses actions et par sa professionnalisation vis-à-vis d’autres secteurs professionnels.

Agriculture, food and crises: challenges, strategies and innovations
Revue « Études caribéennes »
The populations of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), much more than those of other continental countries, are facing crises of different natures which threaten their ability to meet their basic food needs much more than other continental countries. In the intention to resolve these problems, several national and international actors have tried to combine their efforts in order to intervene, through different programs and projects, aimed at acting on the food and agricultural systems. These actions, as desirable as they may be, are not without undesirable costs for the environment. Some of these costs are detrimental to the sustainability of these systems. Thus, scientific and even philosophical reflections are necessary to address these questions.

Ce colloque tente de mettre en lumière de nouvelles lectures relatives au phénomène migratoire en Afrique, ses enjeux économique, socioculturel et politique en s’appuyant sur l'analyse des médias, la littérature, les documents historiques, le cinéma…. L’objectif est d’interroger la question migratoire dans toute sa complexité, ainsi que la vulnérabilité de la personne migrante, eu égard à sa stigmatisation et aux différentes visions dévalorisantes et/ou valorisantes à son sujet, des discours et des images qui demeurent polémiques et pourraient engendrer des dérapages et des glissements sémantiques, constituant ainsi l’objet d’étude de chercheurs appartenant à différents champs disciplinaires.

Chili 50 ans, 1973-2023. Des changements ?
Ce colloque international se place dans le contexte des 50 ans du coup d’État chilien, mais il ne portera pas directement sur celui-ci, ni sur ses causes ni sur ses conséquences directes. Notre but est d’envisager l’évolution du pays sur la moyenne durée. Quels changements durant le demi-siècle écoulé ? Mais aussi, quels sont les héritages et les continuités ? Dans cette perspective, il sera question de conflictualité sociale, de luttes pour les droits des femmes et des minorités, de vulnérabilités et d’enjeux mémoriels. Ces phénomènes seront également interrogés à partir de la littérature, du cinéma et du théâtre. Dans quelle mesure ces diverses approches sont pertinentes et enrichissantes pour comprendre les évolutions complexes du Chili depuis 50 ans ?

Neoliberalization of education and the making of territories
The theme of this issue pursues questions that the journal Espaces et Sociétés has previously raised about the relationship between educational and territorial dynamics. Its originality will therefore consist in documenting the way in which neoliberal dynamics, which run through the education sector from primary to higher education, are contributing to the creation of contemporary spaces, both in peripheral areas and in central urban ones – as well as in spaces created specifically for education, such as campuses or emerging educational hubs, for example in Asia and the Middle East. It will also look at how educational models are internationalized and circulate in this process, between primary, secondary and higher education, between public and private, between North and South, without presupposing that this circulation is unidirectional.

Peasantries and Violent Conflicts
In this call for papers, we wish to address the relationship between the peasantry and conflicts with all the necessary analytical finesse and empiricism, by exploring the plurality of repertoires and modes of action to identify the contextual markers of the trajectories of violent crises involving the peasantry to varying degrees and in various forms. What we mean by violent conflict is any form of confrontation mobilizing a diversified arsenal, with a destructive effect on the agricultural, economic, and social systems in place, and with at times the aim of reconfiguring them to the advantage of certain actors. Such conflicts may be internal to certain peasantries, or may occur at their contact when they are exploited by external actors. Others may take shape and develop outside the rural world before reaching it. These violent conflicts are often found at the crossroads of a range of factors and processes: power dynamics linked to land access, the crystallization of identity and ethno-community differences, and governance problems.
