Le présent ouvrage rend compte du colloque Continu et discontinu dans l’espace géographique tenu à la «Maison des Sciences de la Ville» de Tours en novembre 2002. On n’y lira pas le grand combat des « continuistes et des discontinuistes » mais une occasion de dialogue entre sciences de la nature et sciences sociales pour tenter de penser les deux concepts dans leur opposition, forme classique, et aussi dans leur complémentarité, ce qui est plus novateur. Au départ, un ensemble de travaux menées à l’initiative de Michel Lecompte autour du Bassin méditerranéen et dans les Alpes a ouvert la voie à une relecture de la géographique de la végétation aux échelles moyennes de l’espace biophysique. La « phytoclimatologie dynamique » qui en est issue a mis en lumière l’importance de l’analyse des configurations spatiales, du monde de variation - continu ou discontinu - des phénomènes biologiques et physiques dans l’espace géographique. Cette interrogation participe à celle de la géographie, considérée comme un tout, auquel d’autres champs de réflexion se trouvent, de fait, associés, puisque l’espace géographique n’est pas seulement affaire de géographes. De cette expérience, de la volonté d’en rendre compte à l’ensemble de la communauté des géographes et, au-delà, à tous ceux que l’organisation de l’espace géographique ne laisse pas indifférent, est ainsi né le désir de réunir les personnes qui ont pu se poser des questions semblables dans l’autres domaines que celui de la biogéographie. Après une longue introduction, l’ouvrage propose vingt textes de vingt-huit auteurs (surtout géographes mais aussi écologues, archéologue …). Les écrits sont certes variés puisque la géomorphologie fluviale côtoie l’urbain, la dimension technique la fête, la frontière les réseaux et la cartographie les représentations, mais toujours accordées au sujet, débordant largement du factuel pour proposer des réflexions riches. Le découpage en quatre parties permet un cheminement cohérent. D’abord,…

Depuis vingt ans, le territoire s’est imposé comme catégorie de pensée des sciences sociales et comme catégorie d’action des politiques publiques. Les uns annoncent « la fin des territoires », bousculés par la mondialisation et le développement inexorable des réseaux. Les autres montrent la vitalité des frontières et des identités territoriales, l’acuité des conflits géopolitiques et le goût renouvelé des terroirs et du local. Face à la banalisation et à la polysémie du terme territoire, il importe d’examiner de manière critique son contenu et d’envisager ses applications les plus pertinentes au regard de la réalité sociale. Cet ouvrage, tiré d’une réflexion collective contemporaine des débuts de la vogue territoriale, propose des définitions, suggère des questions et illustre quelques usages d’une notion aux multiples facettes.

"Few issues attract greater concern and censure thatn those that surround youth 'gangs'. Paradoxically, youth researchers have conventionally been reluctant to even use the term 'gang' but, more recently, such reluctance has receded. Indeed, it is increasingly claimed that - in particular urban 'territories' - youth gangs are commonplace, some young people are deeply immersed in violence and the carrying and use of weapons (particularly knives and firearms) is routine. Comprising a series of essays from leading national and international researchers, this book subjects such claims to rigorous critical scrutiny. It provides a challenging and authoritative account of complex questions pertaining to urban youth identities, crime and social order. This book: - Locates the question of 'gangs' in both historical and contemporary contexts; - Engages a spectrum of theoretical perspectives and analytical positions; - Presents and analyses cutting-edge empirical research; - Addresses a range of previously neglected questions, including those pertaining to girls, young women and 'gangs'. The volume provides a vital resource for researchers, educators, policy-makers and practitioners with an interest in key questions facing criminology, sociology and social policy"--

Why are we so concerned with belonging? In what ways does our belonging constitute our identity? Is belonging a universal concept or a culturally dependent value? How does belonging situate and motivate us? Joseph E. David grapples with these questions through a genealogical analysis of ideas and concepts of belonging. His book transports readers to crucial historical moments in which perceptions of belonging have been formed, transformed, or dismantled. The cases presented here focus on the pivotal role played by belonging in kinship, law, and political order, stretching across cultural and religious contexts from eleventh-century Mediterranean religious legal debates to twentieth-century statist liberalism in Western societies. With his thorough inquiry into diverse discourses of belonging, David pushes past the politics of belonging and forces us to acknowledge just how wide-ranging and fluid notions of belonging can be.

This book explores the relationship between space, place and consumption, aiming to develop integrative approaches that articulate the processes involved in the production and consumption of space and place. The result is a varied, engaging, and innovative study of consumption and its role in structuring contemporary capitalist political economies.
