The aim of this workshop is to explore new ways of writing the history of homosexuality based on judicial archives. We observe that the disciplinary field of the "history of homosexualities" has evolved considerably over the last twenty years. Since Georges Chauncey's Gay New York (1994) and Florence Tamagne'sHistoire de l'homosexualité en Europe (2000), the history of homosexuality has relied on the multiplication of sources (press, literature, diaries, police reports, medical literature) to draw up broad portraits of homosexual culture. Today, historians prefer to focus on one type of archive: the judicial archive. The aim of our workshop is to address this historiographical evolution and measure its consequences for our field of study.

In the 1960s, living conditions and urban policies clearly became an object of public concern and a political issue. In several European countries, residents, urban professionals, researchers and political activists began to criticize current urban development methods, and also took action in the field to oppose them and build alternatives. The simultaneity or proximity in time of these urban social movements, and the similarities in their strategies, objectives and forms of protest, show the interest of approaching them not only from an international but also a transnational perspective. This study day is conceived as an initial phase of investigation into these circulations, designed to map them, assess their scope and identify their modalities and traces.

For its ninth issue, the Revue internationale environnementale semestrielle (RIES) from ASPROBIO AGM (an association for the protection of biodiversity and the adoption of marker gestures) invites us to reflect on and explore the highlights of current environmental events. The magazine therefore invites readers to explore and question the environmental news of the last six months and the following six months. Papers on recent world events are welcome. Papers may address the topics listed or any other subject, depending on scientific disciplines and methods. They may cross several axes.

Smart grids are often seen as decision aids for defining electricity supply and demand levels to guide energy trajectories. They reflect the combination of digital transition and energy transition, enabling real-time management of electricity supply. They are all the more essential given the intermittent nature of renewable energy production. As early as 2011, the European Commission saw smart grids as the backbone of a low-carbon energy future. But the success of the energy transition depends on the relevance of the energy policies implemented, and on consumer acceptability. In this sense, the energy transition is also the transition of a socio-technical system. This call for papers examines the social reception of smart grids, the perception of their uses and their deployment model. This special issue is intended to illustrate the wide range of social science research (action research, fundamental research, participatory research) into existing systems and networks.

At a time when new environmental standards are being defined, when natural resources are the subject of heated debate, it seems important to revisit the question from a long-term perspective, with an eye to transformations, continuities and discontinuities, accelerations or stagnations, and thresholds of reversibility in the exploitation of resources. These meetings will focus more specifically on the role of natural resources, and not just energy, in these rhythms of development and evolution, in the context of the long history of Western Europe and the Mediterranean up to the 19th century.

In June 2025, France will host the third United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, with some 120 heads of state and government, but above all hundreds of specialists and institutional and non-institutional players. This time of debate and sharing on the future of the oceans is an opportunity for the historical discipline to take up these issues. The focus of this international symposium is the Mediterranean - not just the sea, but the Mediterranean world as a whole. Mediterranean studies have been intrinsically linked with the "environment" since the pioneering work of Fernand Braudel. Today, environmental history no longer questions the Braudelian milieu alone, but the whole range of human and non-human interactions with the environment. The aim of this symposium is to take a fresh look at the Mediterranean through the lens of environmental history.

Côte d'Ivoire, like many developing countries, is facing growing food-related public health challenges. Despite economic progress, rapid urbanization and the growing influence of globalization have led to profound changes in eating habits, often to the detriment of health. Ivorian youth are particularly affected by this trend. Young people are exposed to a multitude of food choices, often influenced by the availability of processed foods and fast-food outlets, as well as aggressive advertising campaigns by the food industry. However, there is a growing awareness of the importance of returning to a more traditional, balanced diet, not only to safeguard individual health, but also to ensure the long-term sustainability of public health and the environment.

The scientific project of this dossier is to place the juvenile trajectories of minors in prison at the heart of the interrogations, by considering the ways in which age, gender, class and social relations of race vary the prison experiences and more globally the biographical trajectories of these young people. The aim is to examine the link between the singular experience of incarceration and the social relations of age: detained minors have the specificity of being adolescents who are encouraged to become adults while being locked up. Starting from the premise that the experience of prison cannot be thought of as a simple parenthesis in an adolescent trajectory, the aim of this dossier is to question what conditions of incarceration produce on juvenile trajectories.
