Comment habitent les sujets marginalisés ?  

Émotions des usagers et usagères de drogue.

The aim of this paper is to show how marginalized drug users who frequent low threshold drug facilities inhabit urban spaces in two cities, Bordeaux and Berlin. With a social geography approach informed with sociology of emotions and critical cartography methods, we led emotional mapping interviews and produced cartographic collages from the results. We present the inhabiting topography of each city, the constant production and movement of makeshift homes, as well as the relationships with others from the perspective [...]

Venir à Ground Zero, se souvenir du 11-Septembre.

This article prolongs Halbwachs’s analysis of the spatial localisation of memories by means of a pragmatist sociology of the experience of places of memory.

This paper considers the case [...]

This model tends to prevail in the sciences of adolescence, particularly in connection with the issue of risk behavior. This paper investigates the process whereby cognitive neurosciences, using photographic portraits of actors miming [...]

Thus, if the mediatisation in urgency induces a globalisation of the public [...]
