Les gentrifieurs à l’assaut du périurbain.

The article proposes to analyze the new forms that gentrification takes in periurban territories of contemporary France. Our intention is to look beyond the city centers and suburbs in order to report the new forms of gentrification and thus to bring new elements to research, by articulating the notions of gentrification and peri-urbanization. Based on a study carried out during the 2016-2018 period in the urban area of Nancy, we will specify the sociological outlines of the gentrification of [...]

Tourisme gay et normativités sexuelles.

Berlin, destination hors normes ?

This paper aims at understanding the mechanisms behind Berlin’s attractiveness for gay tourists. With a focus on urban events and their representations, the article investigates the role taken by sexual normativities in the shaping of a tourist destination. The city positions itself not only as beyond heteronormativity, especially as it is considered a gay homeland, but also as beyond other normativities which marginalize some sexual practices, like the one linked to leather and fetish culture, for example. This paper [...]

Dans le brouillard du projet urbain.

Observer sa ville comme habitant.

Cet article donne à voir une étape d’une recherche en cours sur la transformation de l’espace et les possibilités de subjectivation politique qu’elle donne ou pas. Située à Toulouse, elle prend place dans un moment particulier d’intensification du projet urbain, dans une ville déjà profondément marquée par les transformations. Partant du dit « projet urbain », l’auteur prend acte d’une dissolution de son objet, la Ville, dans la multiplicité des expériences qui constituent l’urbain. Commence alors une tentative méthodologique [...]

Le concept de rythme au coeur d’un tournant esthétique de la pensée et des politiques de la ville.

In many respects, the city's policies and practices are now experiencing what could be called an "aesthetic shift". Most of the time, this turning point is the subject of analyses focused on one or other of its components, such as the rise of the creative city's standards or attractiveness, but without their aesthetic significance, in the full sense of the term, which refers to aesthesis, to sensitivity. By focusing on the concept of rhythm, which is also gaining momentum [...]

Les rythmes indisciplinés.

This article encourages us to reflect on the existence of undisciplined rhythms, that is to say the personal manners to flow that come into tension with the tone of a given situation and induce a recomposition of the collective rhythm. This article questions the different devices of the urban design that enforce a rhythm and allow to "set the rhythm" of mobility and experience or, on the contrary, provide affordances to the performing of alternative rhythms. In the first [...]

Agrandir la parole des habitants.

This paper proposes a return visit. It describes an ethnographic field investigation in La Duchère, a public housing estate in Lyon concerned by an urban renewal programme, during the 2000s. Taking a position on the conflict situation between the public authorities, who defend the urban project, and the inhabitants’ mobilizations to amend it : how to do it ? Making the inhabitants’ voices and activities public : how to do it ? Ten years later, the ethnograph reads again [...]

Les techniques du corps, des compétences pour faire avec de l’espace.

This paper offers a discussion about the integration of the « techniques of the body » within a geography of action. The main idea is to define « skills » as the mastery of body techniques. We argue that this mastery gives individuals a capacity of adaptation to cope with space they do not know yet. More precisely, the article discusses the relevance of Marcel Mauss’ proposition, especially in the light of the reading established by Tim Ingold. This [...]
