  Contemporary crises, such as those caused by extreme climatic events or pandemics - notably that of Covid-19 - have revealed the capacity of societies to produce unprecedented forms of collective action, situated at the interface between citizen initiatives, social innovation and public action. Among these dynamics, the "emergency commons" constitute a fertile object of analysis for questioning the transformation of public action and modes of territorial governance.

• Religions, environment and territories - Université Cheikh Anta Diop (Dakar - Senegal) - deadline (abstract) 15 06 2026

  Posted 26 02 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 364 149

  After the creation of the universe, the Genesis account of origins depicts Adam and Eve settling in a paradisiacal space, before their exclusion following the original transgression. This passage from the garden of abundance to the earthly world is symbolically associated with the obligation to work and the confrontation with a nature now marked by hostility. The human experience of nature is thus invested with a strong religious charge: natural elements, whether benevolent or destructive, are interpreted in many traditions as the expression of a divine will or judgment.

  Announcement Calenda 1 358 987

  For several years now, the journal Géographie et cultures has been following the transformations of contemporary geography, whether in terms of its objects, methods or ways of transmitting knowledge. As an extension of these reflections, the editorial board would like to devote a thematic issue to the uses, discourses and controversies raised by the recent spread of artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular so-called "generative" AI, in the academic world. In so doing, the aim is to provide food for thought on the uses and non-uses of Artificial Intelligences in the production and dissemination of geographical knowledge.
