Lire les spatialités par leurs métriques.

Jacques Lévy | 05.06.2023

Approaching the spatial dimension of the social worlds through spatialities leads to an analysis of the “dashboards of metrics” by which actors make trade-offs in their management of distances. We can see that the relations between the three major metric families (co-presence, mobility and telecommunication) are marked by coopetition: they combine rather than exclude each other. This is all the more true today, when a complex, non-hierarchical hybridisation is currently emerging. A pragmatic foresight can help us to see [...]

Derrière l’exode urbain, quelle est la réalité des mobilités résidentielles (post-)Covid ?

Stéphane Gallardo | 05.06.2023

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the term urban exodus has been taken up quickly and massively, especially in the media to describe migrations in France. It was told that the city centers were fled to find refuge in the countryside. Thanks to data that are beginning to be available, the aim here is to put forward hypotheses that nuance the extent of the process and question the role of the pandemic in the mobility observed. Instead of [...]

Habiter demain

Stéphane Gallardo | 05.06.2023

La Traverse Habiter demain rend compte d’une recherche en train de se faire dans une situation où la pandémie de covid-19 pourrait – nous en formons l’hypothèse – avoir entraîné des changements dans les pratiques spatiales des individus. Il s’agit ici d’analyser la nature et l’ampleur de ces évolutions. La pandémie joue-t-elle un rôle disruptif [...]

Abstention et mathématiques électorales.

Enka Blanchard | 03.06.2022

With over 3 million people voting blank or invalid, 28% abstention and a much smaller margin of victory than in 2017, many analyses are possible, but most indicate at the very least a general dissatisfaction with the electoral system... [...]

France, une société géographique.

Jacques Lévy | 02.06.2022

The geography of the presidential election's second round is both simple and strong. It reveals a very marked opposition in terms of urbanity gradients and is more marked than the age, diploma or professional divides. The issue of inhabiting, where the voters' margins of autonomous choice are the most significant, shows the best resonance with political orientations. [...]

France dorée, France rouillée.

Ce que nous montre la carte des densités de suffrages.

Patrick Poncet | 31.05.2022

Using an original cartographic technique combining coloured layers, the article presents the vote density map for the second round of the French presidential election of 2022. This cartography offers an alternative to electoral cartograms, keeping the usual location and shape of the territories while highlighting the electoral weight of the different areas of the country. Secondly, the article maps the useful electoral territory of E. Macron, and symmetrically highlights the abstract and impractical nature of Lepéniste electoral geography. [...]

La France urbaine de Yannick Jadot.

Matthias Kowasch | 30.05.2022

With 4.63% of the vote, the leader of Europe Écologie les Verts (EELV), Yannick Jadot, achieved the second best result of an ecologist candidate in a presidential election - a score, however, far from the hopes raised by the intermediate elections of 2019 and 2020. [...]

Mélenchon et Zemmour.

Hervé Le Bras | 24.05.2022

In addition to the collapse of the right, the presidential election was the scene of two important facts analysed here: the appearance of a Zemmour vote and the consolidation of the Mélenchon vote, suggesting that an extreme right - extreme left opposition was in the making. Indeed, the geography of the Zemmour vote and its sociology are closer to the inaugural FN vote of 1984 than to the Marine Le Pen votes of 2017 and 2022. As for the [...]
