Sustainable urban dynamics and real estate

Sustainability has been a key issue in contemporary urban planning for several decades. This concept, which encompasses economic, social and territorial dimensions, may seem overused and even misused. However, it still represents a key area of scientific research. Many scientific studies in the field of geography have demonstrated the link between climate change, human activities and land use. This session aims to deepen territorial sustainability through the prism of real estate activities. Indeed, while the real estate sector generates a high level of pollution, it also induces several innovations (technological, territorial, health-related, etc.) that redesign the sustainable city beyond its purely ecological dimension.

Negotiating One’s Place in the Mountains: Radical Perspectives on Experiences of – and Challenges to – Domination

Alors que les approches radicales constituent un champ important en sciences sociales depuis plusieurs décennies, elles restent peu représentées dans les travaux portant sur les montagnes. Ces approches entendent mettre en évidence les rapports de domination qui traversent les sociétés et la façon dont ils s’entrecroisent. Sans s’en tenir à une simple description des inégalités sociales, il s’agit, dans la lignée de la pensée marxienne, d’expliquer profondément ces inégalités en décryptant les rapports sociaux de domination qui les sous-tendent et en faisant pour cela appel à des pensées systémiques et à des approches matérialistes. Ce numéro vise à montrer la fécondité des approches radicales pour penser les processus de minorisation, sur lesquels repose la reproduction des modèles économiques et politiques dominants, comme leur contestation à l’œuvre en montagne.

New geographies of making and living labor in the Anthropocene

Cet appel à articles invite à questionner la manière dont la géographie s’empare de la question du faire, dans une période où l’articulation entre faire et espace tend à être profondément transformée sous l’effet de rapides mutations de l’économie et de l’environnement. Il s’agit d’éclairer les modalités selon lesquelles des initiatives ciblées opèrent en des lieux spécifiques selon des dynamiques qui éprouvent des manières de fabriquer, de faire avec, par et pour les ressources existantes, tout en générant des moyens de subsister moins prédateurs pour l’environnement et dont les pratiques spéculatives sont susceptibles d’accentuer les inégalités socio-spatiales.

Corpses and Poverty

Destitution, economic insecurity and funeral practices from antiquity to the present day

L’objectif du colloque « Cadavres et pauvreté » est précisément d’aborder la question du traitement mortuaire et funéraire du cadavre sous l’angle social et économique, en invitant à réfléchir sur ce que l'absence ou la limitation de ressources matérielles, monétaires ou financières détermine (ou pas) de ce traitement.

Costume in african artistic production: plural approaches

This collective work project looks at costume in African artistic production through 4 axes: costume in visual creation in Africa; costume in African cinematographic and theatrical production; costume in the other arts in Africa (dance, choreography, literature, etc.); representations and uses of costume in African societies. Through a plural and multidisciplinary approach, the aim is to contribute to the documentation and improvement of knowledge on costume in artistic production in Africa; to question the quality of costume production, its functions, implications and social dynamics in African countries; and to consider the theoretical perspectives and uses of costume and related resources in artistic creation and African societies.

Réseaux obscurs

L’imaginaire des mises en connexion secrètes et des bas-fonds transnationaux du XIXe au XXIe siècle

Modern imaginations of an interconnected world often have a ‘dark’ side. In the nineteenth century there was an explosion in enthusiasm for the opportunities offered by new forms of international communication, trade, and travel, the emergence of cosmopolitan ideals, or the urge for international cooperation. Yet contemporaries also imagined a dangerous milieu of vice and crime generated by illicit flows and populated by a dubious cast of shady characters. Anxieties over espionage, conspiracies and secret plots became a widespread cultural pattern. Since then, a sinister mythology has never ceased to captivate the modern imaginary: that beneath the real world lies a connected underworld made up of clandestine threads and movements that transcend borders and stretch across continents and oceans. This international conference will investigate the imaginary of ‘dark networks’ from the nineteenth century to the present, intenting to move beyond simplistic success stories of globalisation and contributes to the growing interest of scholars in its ‘deviant’ sides.

From Invisibility to Visibility #4

Invisibles in arts and cinema

This study day will focus on the (re)presentation of the invisible in the arts and cinema in order to analyse the way these art forms have looked at these figures of the unseen, the imperceptible or the “unshowable”, and to see to what extent they have been able to contribute to the de-marginalisation of certain populations by giving them a face.

Researchning beyond words

Investigating architectural research by drawing

Ce colloque centré sur les productions hors des mots des chercheurs propose d’interroger plus particulièrement les représentations visuelles dessinées en situation de recherche. En considérant les modes de fabrication des dessins, les méthodes dans lesquelles ils s’inscrivent et les outils qu’ils mobilisent, nous souhaitons ouvrir des questionnements épistémologiques sur la recherche en architecture et sur ce que l’on pourrait nommer la « recherche par le dessin ».

Pilgrimages on the Western Front of the First World War: from the end of the war to contemporary practices

La première guerre mondiale a duré quatre ans et s’est déroulée sur pas moins de onze théâtres d’opérations à travers le monde. Des millions de personnes y ont perdu la vie. C’est finalement le front occidental qui a causé le plus de pertes humaines et où s’est décidée l’issue de la guerre. Pendant la guerre elle-même, au gré des gains territoriaux, les soldats sont retournés dans les cimetières provisoires où leurs camarades étaient tombés. Dès la fin de la guerre et durant les décennies qui ont suivi, des dizaines de milliers d’anciens combattants, de familles de défunts et de délégations officielles ont entrepris des pèlerinages sur les champs de bataille à la recherche de proches disparus dans un vaste mouvement d’hommage collectif ou individuel sans précédent dans l’histoire.

Exposing and punishing "forgery"

The policing of professions in the early modern era (15th-18th centuries)

The aim of this conference is to examine the uses of the notion of ‘forgery’ in policing any given trade or economic activity in the early modern town and/or its peripheries. In other words, to question whether there existed one or more models of such suitable policing through the qualification of what was ‘fraud’. To state the ‘fraudulent’ character of a thing implied mobilizing an expertise, but also to recall and endorse an authority, including and perhaps especially in a context of existing competing jurisdictions, or standards. Is this accusation based primarily on legal, economic, social or religious dimensions? Is pointing at ’fraud’ a manner of making room for obedience or prohibitions, in search of the integrity of goods, prices and services to the public, or on the contrary a manner of circumscribing a status to the happy few? Does this accusation draw lines to exclude, serve to include by means of a constrained procedure, or merely reaffirm an existing rule?

Forests in transitions. Concepts, methodes, assessments and prospective

The symposium, international and interdisciplinary, will address a topical issue: forests, in all their diversity. They appear to be in “crisis” at a time of climate change, and their management is raising concerns. The subject will be approached from the angle of transitions, taking into account the polysemy of the concept: transition of the forests themselves; concept of forest transition; ecological, environmental, energy transitions... The purpose is to question the changes underway as a result of climate change, in connection with or in response to it, within the framework of mitigation and/or adaptation strategies. But other evolutionary factors need to be taken into account: the “greening” of society, other pressures arising from the Anthropocene, belonging to global change. These transitions will be questioned through 3 axes: 1) Concepts et methods; 2) Assessments et analysis ; 3) Prospective.

Regions in evolution. Transitions, renewal and emerging forms of regionalisation

The aim of this special issue is to update the analysis of the region in geography and spatial planning, with regard to current socio-territorial dynamics in a time of environmental transition. Reflecting the plasticity and polysemy of the concept of the region, the approach is deliberately broad. We are interested not only in the changes in existing regions – in spatial, territorial, socio-political terms among others –, but also in the forms and modes of regionalisation that emerge at different scales, more or less informal or formalised, and in different territorial or maritime contexts. The underlying question being how these -“neo-regions” respond to certain social needs or specific political challenges, or how they interact with the more institutional or formalised regions and territorial authorities.

Résidence de chercheurs invités - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

Visiting researchers residency - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

Until now the reception history of ancient Greece in pre-modern Western Europe has focused almost exclusively on the transmission of Greek texts. Yet well before the revival of Greek teaching, numerous vernacular works, often illustrated, contained elaborate representations of ancient Greece. AGRELITA studies a large corpus of French language literary works (historical, fictional, poetic, didactic ones) produced from 1320 to the 1550s in France and Europe, before the first direct translations from Greek to French, as well as the images of their manuscripts and printed books. The project “The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550) : how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities”, directed by Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas, opens guest researchers residencies.
