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, [...]
Ces morts qui nous habitent.
Jacques Lévy, Olivier Lazzarotti et Xavier Bernier | 01.11.2021

The work of sociologist Gaspard Lion focuses on the precarious habitat of people living in the circumparisian woods, residing in year-round campsites or settling in the streets.

Planning tools rely on expertise in order to develop landscape guidelines on inter-communal and communal scales. The attractiveness of suburban areas renew and diversify the socio-economic components of these territories. Beyond regulatory requirements for consultation, it is recognized that participation approaches struggle to develop, especially within the territorial planning tools. In this context, do the political landscape planning documents correspond to the expectations of the people ? What impact do they have on the representations of the inhabitants ? [...]
