Contextual Physics of Ambiances

International Journal of Sensory Environment, Architecture and Urban Space

Architectural ambiances encompass a complex interplay of sensory, emotional and cultural perceptions that shape how a space is experienced. Regarding their physical dimensions, ambiances include elements such as light, sound, textures, temperature and odours, which are shaped through social and spatial configurations to create a unique experience. The physical metrology of ambiance phenomena, relying on precise measurement tools and protocols, allows for an analysis of the objectifiable dimensions of sensory phenomena.

Crossed Perspectives on/with Unaccompanied Young Migrants: Words, Images and Discourses

We are organizing this conference in order to reflect on the worlds of words, images, discourses, and opinions surrounding these young migrants, produced both by the young people themselves and by the influential actors of our societies. We will question the scope of these representational worlds and their capacity to offer real alternatives for understanding migration with regard to UM-FIM-YIM. It is also a matter of observing, through the prism of media discourse, the role of the state, institutions, and different associative actors in the management of these phenomena.

Transformations in political activities and careers in light of legal regulation and related instruments

Journal L'Année sociologique - special issue

Over the past thirty years, most European countries have adopted legislation designed to regulate political activities and the boundaries of professional politics. These laws have been introduced in response to societal demands, a lack of trust in representatives and institutions, and ’political crises’ and ’scandals’ involving elected officials. These laws and instruments contribute to the formation and governance of a group of political professionals. For example, instruments have been developed to support the ethical transformation of political spaces and the definition of good practices.

Negociating images. Dialogical photography practices in anthropology

Civilisations journal (vol. 75, 2026)

This special issue will explore dialogical photographic practices in which the image becomes a space for exchange. Photographers, like ethnologists, play a role of mediator who stimulates collective understanding. More than a mere document, photographs here are perceived as a relationship and a site for the co-construction of meaning. This approach invites us to think differently about methodologies and the restition of ethnographic works. At the heart of our reflection is the question of what methods are put into place, and the issue of power and control overs images, alongside the ethical and economic implications of collaborative approachs used by visual anthropology. We invite potential contributors to explore innovative forms of visual narration, for example those that make use of dialogical presentations, multimedia practices, pratical use of archives, or even digital tools, in particular open-source ones.

The social mechanisms as seen through the lens of social networks

Volume 76 / 2026 - Issue 1

L’Année sociologique is inviting contributions for an issue on the theme of social mechanisms as seen through the lens of social networks, to be published in the Spring of 2026. The aim of this call for papers is to take stock of the use of social network analysis in understanding various social mechanisms in all their diversity, particularly collective ones, and their consequences, whether intentional or not, by bringing into dialogue and articulating the micro, meso and macro levels. It thus focuses on the impact of relational infrastructures on social mechanisms in the broadest sense, and aims to give visibility to research that sheds new light on the subject.

What is an eco-cultural niche? Rethinking the shape of eco-cultural niches

This workshop aims at bringing together ecologists, anthropologists, environmentalists and archaeologists, in order to discuss the definition of eco-cultural niches, a concept that was first proposed by Banks et al. 2006. Significant time will be given to open discussions in order to co-create a new theoritical framework for the analysis of human-environment macro-relationships in the past, using the approach of eco-cultural niche modeling. All scholars (students, teachers, researchers,...) interested in this approach can participate to the meeting and discussions.

Awareness Drawing

Methods and pedagogies

For over a century, researchers and clinicians have been interested in using drawings to understand bodily experience. Some of the best known are: Goodenough's drawing of the man (1926) and Palmer's pain charts (1949). Today, there has been a renewal of these techniques through a range of visual materials. Thus, drawing still aims to show what cannot always be said or written. It will also launch a debate on research methodologies.

The double consciousness of quantification

Ethnographic approaches to world representation with numbers

Pour ce numéro spécial de la Revue Suisse d’Anthropologie Sociale et Culturelle, nous proposons de reprendre un point soulevé par Alain Desrosières (2008) lorsqu'il souligne les contradictions, dans l’approche statistique, entre une perspective « réaliste » (servant d'outil de pouvoir, de gouvernement ou de critique) et une perspective « conventionnaliste » (dans laquelle la « mise en variables » est elle-même prise dans un processus de production de savoirs politiques et historiques). Selon lui, cela pose un problème de « double conscience ». Comment cette apparente contradiction est-elle vécue, comprise, voire résolue par les acteurs auxquels elle est présentée ? Quelles opérations cela implique-t-il ? Quels sont les compromis qui émergent ?
