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 [...]

Les aires culturelles, une politique en trompe-l’œil ?

L’exemple des recrutements de la section 33 du CNRS.

Christian Henriot | 11.04.2023

This essay examines the composition and evolution of the population of historians in Section 33 of CNRS between 2002 and 2022. It argues that the recruitment of historians remains largely marked by a "reproduction" of historical research to be found in French universities. This finding contradicts the priority given to "cultural areas" by CNRS for the past 30 years. Section 33 has continued to recruit historians mainly to feed the "generalist" laboratories (France and Europe). In a context of [...]

Trois Brésil politiques.

L’élection présidentielle brésilienne de 2022.

Jacques LévyStéphane GallardoVinicius Santos AlmeidaKatia CanovaFernanda Padovesi FonsecaJaime Tadeu OlivaEduardo DutenkeferJessica Luchesi et Maiara S. Oliveira | 14.12.2022

The 2022 Brazilian presidential election appears at first glance to be a confrontation between two juxtaposed spaces. In fact, it is more a layout of three superimposed spaces, each corresponding to a type of cleavage: centre/periphery, economic capital and gradients of urbanity. These are therefore three political Brazils, each occupying the whole of the country's territory, which must be described and interpreted. [...]

Capital spatial. Peer review

Sept enjeux pour une contribution géographique à la théorie de la pratique de Pierre Bourdieu.

Mathis Stock et Léopold Lucas | 18.11.2022

This article is a reflection upon the “spatial capital”, a concept proposed in addition to the capitals introduced by Pierre Bourdieu in his practice theory. Indeed, this theory does not take into account the spatial dimensions as societal issue, and one of the geographers’ tasks may consist in integrating them. But this concept provokes a debate in geography. Drawing on the Bourdieusian conceptual framework, this paper raises seven issues to consider when including a “spatial capital”. The purpose is [...]

Résister à la professionnalisation. Peer review

Socio-histoire des catégories « amateurs » et « professionnels » en apiculture.

Agnès FortierPierre Alphandéry et Lucie Dupré | 13.09.2022

For a long time considered as a marginal activity, beekeeping has received particular attention in recent years due to the high mortality rate of bee colonies and its consequences on pollination, the maintenance of biodiversity and food security. Composed mainly of "amateurs", the beekeeping world contrasts with the process of professionalisation that has been imposed in agriculture since the mid-20th century. This article aims to question the genesis and the social and political construction of the categories "amateurs" and [...]

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. [...]
