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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Terre (2/2). Le tout et les parties.
Olivier Lazzarotti | 01.02.2023
For some, the Earth is a whole that stands as a principle of solidarity between all its cohabitants. Others see it rather as a piece of land that qualifies, or even identifies, those who live there; all the more so, it seems, because they were not born there.
So, if listening to the songs does not help to define the word 'nature', it is perhaps also because the interest of the term is not to have one. In this case, [...]
Terre (1/2)
Olivier Lazzarotti | 01.01.2023
Although the 'cantography' of the Earth is not very abundant, it is sufficiently diverse to offer food for thought. Each song develops its own point of view on what it means by Earth. In this section, we have selected those that consider, sometimes implicitly, sometimes more directly, the relationship between the notions of planet, earth and world... A question of inhabiting, always with the theme of humanity as a final horizon! [...]
L’élection présidentielle brésilienne de 2022.
Jacques Lévy, Stéphane Gallardo, Vinicius Santos Almeida, Katia Canova, Fernanda Padovesi Fonseca, Jaime Tadeu Oliva, Eduardo Dutenkefer, Jessica 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. [...]
Le climat (2/2).
Olivier Lazzarotti | 01.12.2022
While the songs most often deal with the theme of climate as a matter of romantic sentimentality, a few of them are concerned, if not openly, with climate change, at least with some of its effects. But it is also, on occasion, to divert the meaning, if not to play with it : how can we hear them ? [...]
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 [...]
Le climat (1/2).
Olivier Lazzarotti | 01.11.2022
To sing the climate is very often to summon the seasons, often separately, sometimes in their sequences, understood in the sense of temperate latitudes. But if the physical elements are sometimes mentioned, in the vast majority of cases what is at stake is a romantic encounter and nostalgic memory... [...]
