Echoing the many recent works devoted to this subject, this study day proposes to revisit the diversity of marginal mobilities. The aim is also to reflect on the epistemology of marginalized mobilities within geographical studies.
Whether willingly or unwillingly, consciously or unconsciously, politicized or, on the contrary, invisible, some mobilities can be described as marginal. Taking up and mobilizing the center-periphery explanatory scheme in the light of mobilities, this study day proposes to question any movement made in a situation of marginality, whether social (children, the elderly, prostitution, dead bodies, disabled people), economic (poverty, homelessness) or political (minorities, undocumented migrants).
This theme has been the subject of numerous works, such as the organization in November 2016 at Marne-la-Vallée of the colloquium dedicated to "mobilités marginales, mobilités dans les marges, marges mobiles", which gave rise to a publication in 2019 (Bernier, 2019) or the program for the agrégation externe de géographie on the France of the margins in 2019. The aim of this study day is to reinvestigate this theme in the light of recent research. We will also reflect on the epistemology of marginalized mobilities in our discipline. The aim is also to reflect on the epistemology of marginalized mobilities in our discipline.
This day is open to all researchers mobilizing a spatial approach, whether geographers or not. Proposals from young researchers, including master's students, are welcome. Proposals may fall within (or go beyond) the following themes:
[Axe 1] The role of mobility in the construction and revelation of margins
[Axis 2] Marginal mobilities, chosen or undergone: seeking the margins or escaping them?
[3] Marginalized mobilities in and by the geographical discipline: epistemological and reflexive approaches to isolated subjects of study
