Hors des sentiers battus

Nouvelles directions dans la recherche sur le militaire

Régulièrement interpellée pour son manque d’inclusion et de diversité, ce n’est pas seulement l’institution militaire qui a besoin de changer, mais aussi la manière dont elle est étudiée. Aujourd’hui plus que jamais, il est important de prêter attention à ces voix et perspectives qui ont longtemps été considérées comme marginales dans le champ de la recherche sur le militaire. Elles offrent en effet des pistes de réflexion – si ce n’est des réponses – à certaines des problématiques centrales que l’institution militaire affronte actuellement. L’objectif de cet évènement est de mobiliser la communauté scientifique travaillant sur les questions en lien avec le militaire, et ce afin d’échanger et de débattre sur les nouvelles directions que la recherche devrait prendre dans les prochaines années selon elle.

Borders, walls and violence

Costs and Alternatives to Border Fencing

More border walls and border fences are being built every year all across the world. Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia are among the latest to announce yet another border fence. Twenty-five years ago it was believed that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reconfiguration of international relations would open an age of globalization in which States would become obsolete, ushering in a world without borders. In the wake of 9/11, however, borders came back in light, new borders were created and new border walls erected. In the wake of the Arab Spring, came even more border barriers and walls, symbols that were thought to have disappeared with the collapse of the bipolar international system. Today, they reinforce borderlines the world over, transforming both soft and semi-permeable borders alike into sealed, exclusionary hard borders. Walls are symbols of identity reaffirmation, markers of State sovereignty, instruments of dissociation, locus of a growing violence.

Social Geography of Risk: Which Approaches?

Special session Annual Association of American Geographers Meeting

In this session we want to focus on the definition of risk, the way this category is constructed, through which relations and which spatialities is forged. Building on real case studies, we are interested in understanding the role of geographers and social scientists when investigating the “societies at risk” and the “vulnerable” groups. Emerging issues in this area of work are related to the need to integrate environmental and social information and the fact that we have to face the implementation of complex investigations including among others: environmental measures, descriptive epidemiology, analytical studies, social surveys and GIS modeling.
