Construction d’un espace de déviance.
Kenza Afsahi et Khalid Mouna | 30.09.2014
La culture de cannabis au Maroc s’est intensifiée durant les années 1970 dans la région du Rif central, bouleversant les rapports socio-économiques entre les acteurs. Cet article se propose d’interroger le processus historique qui a occasionné le développement d’un espace favorable à la production de cannabis, notamment dans les tribus de Ketama et de Ghomara, ce qui a conféré à ces tribus l’identité notoire de « bled du kif ». Nous analyserons également les interdépendances entre les différents acteurs [...]
Existe-t-il un espace public indien ?
Carole Lanoix | 30.09.2014
What if India also had public spaces ? These spaces would of course be different to those we encounter in Europe on a daily basis and state as such. While the conception of public spaces, as that of cities, is struggling to assert itself in the cultural context of India, let us question, like the famous Indian poet Attipate Krishnaswami Ramanujan, the existence of an Indian public space. Far from answering a democratic, Western-minded or Eurocentred model, we aim [...]

The aim of this paper is to bring to light the centrality of the Present within the framework of the democratic regime by showing that, far from being a definite obstacle to whoever wishes to locate themselves truthfully in Time, inscribing oneself resolutely within the Present is a necessary condition to develop an ethical and political activity through which the individual and society can transform themselves. Before we criticize presentism, we will conduct a methodological and epistemological reflection on [...]

L’article interroge le sens et la légitimité de l’emploi du terme « urbanisation » pour décrire les phénomènes territoriaux en cours en Suisse et, plus globalement, en Europe occidentale. En s’écartant de l’idée de ressusciter le débat sur la mort de la ville, il questionne les phénomènes de transformation territoriale actuellement en cours. [...]

Walking in the city today, one seems to enjoy the benefits of a growing interest that is manifest in the renewal of pedestrian policies in numerous cities around the world. This is an emerging trend particularly in central zones of high density or in ‘eco-neighbourhoods’, and is typically enhanced by the promotion of active mobility [...]
Enquête sur un tournant sémiotique dans les pratiques de démocratie participative.
Mathieu Berger | 15.09.2014
In recent years, in the field of participatory urban politics, many political philosophers and social scientists have pointed out the need to decenter formal discourse and argumentation and to enhance more « inclusive », more « sensitive » and more « sensory » forms of democratic communication, which would directly deal with the environments and the experiential and material dimensions of urban problems. Apparently, the message has been received. Today, group visits in the neighborhoods, video and photoreports, exhibitions [...]

This article aims at understanding how the urban dweller experiments the heterogeneity that emerges from the density and diversity of urban space. Two classical propositions are presented : Simmel’s figure of the blasé and the Situationnists’ figure of the dérive. However, both figures must be nuanced : the first neutralizes too many differences whereas the second intensifies them too much. Starting from these repelling figures, we discover the figure of the remix, which links the capacity to experiment differences [...]
Concours artistique.

Imagine there’s no private car. From one day to the other, it just disappeared. Nobody really wonders how it went about – somehow, all expected this to happen – but the question now is what to do with the rest of the day, with the weekend, with one’s life. A citizen extracts the last remnants [...]

L’archéogéographie, une nouvelle discipline au carrefour des spatiotemporalités.
Magali Watteaux | 27.08.2014
Based on her own research and on that of her colleagues, equally archaeogeographers, the author wishes to outline the position and ideas of a new discipline, Archaeogeography, by showing its originality in relation to agrarian and rural Geography and historical Geography. This paper therefore starts by pointing the differences and commonalities between Archeogeography and ancient and modern Geography. In a second step, it discusses the specificities of Archeogeography in relation to other geohistorical disciplines or approaches. Finally, the author [...]
