  Une démocratie sur le fil. Les ressources humaines du processus électoral

  Dans le cadre du XVII^e congrès national de l'Association française de science politique, la section thématique 34 invite à questionner la « tuyauterie démocratique », ce que la sociologie historique et la science politique ont peu documenté jusqu'à présent. La section propose de déplacer la focale sur les agents qui sont mobilisés aux différentes étapes du processus électoral (services élections des collectivités, ministère de l’Intérieur, préfectures, tribunal administratif, assesseurs des bureaux de vote, Insee, entreprises d’acheminement postal des professions de foi etc.) et qui sont nécessaires à la tenue d’une élection ou d’un vote (organisation des bureaux de vote, ingénierie des machines à voter, des transmissions et publications des résultats, rédaction de rapports, conception et rédaction de la législation, destruction et/ou archivage du matériel…).

  When science fiction changes the world...

  12th Symposium Stella Incognita

  Since no one knows the future, no one can claim to be an expert on it. Nevertheless, as we all project ourselves into the future, a narrative is inevitably constructed and even a number of multiple ones, in which all possible questions are intertwined. This call for papers therefore draws on a wide range of disciplines to intuitively envisage probable, plausible or possible futures (Voros, 2006) or those being significant in terms of what we are provided with to consider and live vicariously through. While other literatures of the imaginary (Fantasy, Fantastique) are based on a leap out of reality, In this call, we'd like to take a look at our relationship to changes in the world, which is more akin to science fiction, even though there are several definitions of the “science fiction” genre.

  Provence at the Crossroads of Artistic Trajectories during the 17th century

  Production, Markets, Circulation

  Through its geographic location, Provence, taken here to be the region between Nice, Montpellier and the Comtat Venaissin, is an ideal location to reflect on the plurality of artistic movements. Open to the Mediterranean and boasting active maritime trade, it was also the last stop in France on the way to Italy, at a time when a visit to Rome was an essential part of any artist's training. The conference, which will be international and multidisciplinary, intends to examine the circulation of artists and works in Provence during the 17th century.

  Artificial intelligence and transformations of work

  This conference aims to propose a social philosophy of artificial intelligence (AI) and work, anchored in an ethical framework but also through empirical case studies. With contributions from international researchers, we will examine the history of the debate on technological replacement, working conditions with AI and transformations in notions of equity and justice.

  Ageing in the Mountains

  Dans ce numéro spécial de la Revue de géographie Alpine, nous soutenons l’hypothèse que vieillir en montagne est une expérience qui permet de lire les transformations sociales des régions de montagne, non seulement en ce qu’elles touchent les personnes âgées, mais aussi les plus jeunes, dans ces territoires et au-delà. De plus, dans la ligne de nombreux travaux qui s’attachent à investiguer l’expérience des personnes dans un contexte sociologique spécifique, nous considérons le récit comme une ressource essentielle pour explorer la vie des personnes qui vieillissent en montagne, à partir de leur propre point de vue et de leur propre histoire.

  Communicating in wartime

  Transatlantic letters in the 18th century

  Letters has been the subject of numerous studies, but until now the influence of conflict on it has been little explored. The aim of this study day is to compare approaches to this theme, looking at both the material aspects and the specific communication strategies and changes in content in the face of this exceptional situation.Today we are fortunate enough to be able to access these intimate sources through various archives such as the Admiralty Archives at the National Archives in London. They shed new light, through intimate and personal accounts, on the adaptation of information exchanges between families and those involved in the colonial trade. The different facets of this adaptation will be explored over the course of the conference.

  Consent, Refuse, Surrender: Shadows of Conquest during the English Restoration 1660-1714

  This conference opens a conversation between literary, cultural, historical, philosophical, legal, medical, and artistic perspectives to analyse and historicise the mechanisms that structure the notions of consent, refusal and surrender, and to study their evolutions across the breadth of the period. The goal of this conference is both to analyse the specific expression of these notions during the Restoration period, and to see how they enable us to rethink it. Finally, this project is launched with the aim of establishing an interdisciplinary research group on the Restoration.

  The native podcast: understanding its development, questioning its future

  Ce colloque international a vocation à interroger la place du podcast en France et en Europe. Pourquoi, alors qu’il ne présente pas une innovation de rupture majeure et qu’il existe depuis longtemps, le podcast s’est-il récemment développé aussi rapidement et aussi fortement ? Comment expliquer les ressorts et les enjeux sociaux, économiques, technologiques de ce succès et de ses ambivalences ?

  Faith communities: living together or living side by side? Which role for public authorities?

  Today, a debate on the relevance and legitimacy of public funding for religious communities has been sparked by the broadcast on Flemish public television of the Godvergeten documentary series about the victims of paedophilia committed by members of the Catholic clergy. More than ever, the question of the contribution made by faith communities to "living together" is being raised. At a time when calls are being made for the outright abolition of public funding of religious institutions, it is also worth looking at the situation in neighbouring countries. The aim of this workshop, organised as part of the triennial conference of the Belgian French-speaking Political Science Association, is to bring together people to reflect on faith-based communities in Belgium, and to look more broadly at the relationship between politics and religion, using examples from other countries.

  Changing Scale

  Since the middle of the last century, efforts have been made to better exploit the potential of earth as a building material. All over the world, interest in earthen architecture is growing, and research centres are multiplying, as are training efforts. However, the major projects carried out in the 1970s did not become widespread. Their appropriation has often remained at the prototype or demonstrator stage. A situation which is not always easy to decipher. Is it lack of support from public authorities? Lack of interest from professionals? Lack of standards? Inadequacy for widespread use?

  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.
