The subject belongs to the scientific field of social geography. The article proposes to examine, in light of their new components, the territories of religion and the faithful Catholics in the dioceses of Rennes, Dol and St. Malo. Our study, nourished by qualitative field studies, casts a light on these new forms of organisation based on spatial domains. Rural parishes, peri-urban or urban ones were used as a framework to the study, to assess the characteristics of the faithful [...]

Controversies, sometimes strongly conflictual, on public toilets signs tell us something about the state of a notable societal debate : can we choose our sex or should we comply with what (various) others say ? Do we want a hyper-gendered or a post-gender world ? [...]
The work of Armelle Choplin and Olivier Pliez addresses globalisation under an original survey method, leading to an unconventional conclusion. The authors follow the flow of commodities, from Africa to China, and prove that certain actors of these exchanges can get out of poverty by entering, even at the margins, the international trade. [...]

This article aims at filling a present gap in all books of contemporary urban sociology, namely the absence of references to the existence of a sociology of the social representations of the urban. For that end, the author suggests reconstituting the history of this sociology, located between the fields of urban and social representations, by analysing in a diachronic way the interest which sociologists of the urban had, and still have, for the question of social representations. This interest [...]
The Varieties of Capitalism literature is relatively aspatial. The focus is on differences between countries rather than within. Yet one can identify processes, varying from one country to another, that help create differences in development between cities and regions, albeit in quite different ways. The contrast between the United States and the countries of Western Europe is stark. In the latter, development policy has been subject to strong central government intervention. In the United States, development is more a [...]
Relationships between arts and sciences have been experiencing a long lasting misunderstanding. This situation notably derived from an underestimation of the role imagination plays in sciences and reflexivity in arts. If we accept the idea that sciences and arts both contribute, each in their own way, to the cognitive dimension of cultural productions, then we can more easily make visible many similarities and some differences between those two realms. As a result, a programme of interactions, translations, and hybridizations [...]
The next Vautrin Lud Prize will be awarded, in October 2018, to Jacques Lévy. It is the recognition of the profound renewal that was brought by him, not only to geography, but to the social sciences as a whole, particularly by the foundation and persevering animation of EspacesTemps, first on its paper version, then on its online version. Collective work has been, and always is, the trademark of Jacques Lévy’s work. [...]
