Heroes, martyrs, veterans, executioners, criminals, victims, wounded, mutilated, missing, dead, bereaved - women, men and children. These are the figures that emerge or can emerge from the "paroxysmal experience of violence" (C. Ingrao, Le soleil noir du paroxysme...). Far from forming pre-established categories, these attributions are, on the contrary, constantly redefined by the individuals who claim them - or not - and by the institutions that award them - or not. How, then, do the latter take charge of these singular social actors over the more or less long term of "exits from war" (B. Cabanes, G. Piketty, Retour à l'intime...), or more broadly of "exits[s] from violence" (M. Wieviorka, "Sortir de la violence")?

The "rarity" of diseases, or disabilities, is a recently constructed category. It makes it possible to bring into existence pathologies which, because of their low incidence, are marginalized by public health policies structured around epidemiological prioritization. Given the clinical and experiential diversity of these diseases, we propose to question the relevance of this category for the social sciences. To what extent do these rare diseases correspond to singular social realities? How is the category of rare disease constructed, delimited and mobilized? Do rare diseases pose specific problems for policies, organizations and professional practices? Despite their heterogeneity, do they produce recurring patterns of experience? Do they give rise to specific forms of associative mobilization?

The world is in the midst of a "polycrisis", a tangle of crises that spans global systems. The term "polycrisis" illustrates how global crises are interconnected, intertwined and mutually aggravating. If this concept is used with greater clarity and precision than has been the case to date, it could provide essential new insights into our current situation. For this reason, the European University of Valencia is calling for papers on the following topics: conceptual approaches to polycrisis, the impact of polycrisis on the economy, artificial intelligence in the context of polycrisis, new inequalities generated by polycrisis, legal and political responses to the challenge of polycrisis, the environment as cause and "victim" of polycrisis, and the impact of polycrisis on security and human rights.

In France, one dwelling in four is owned by a private lessor, representing 7.5 million dwellings owned by over 2 million owners (Service des données et études statistiques (SDES), 2022). These owners, mostly "natural persons" rather than capitalized companies, have been little studied, even though they occupy a nodal position in the manufacture of urban inequalities and social relations linked to housing (Delon, Vignal, 2022). By focusing on the spaces that landlords invest in and the ordinary strategies they employ to extract rental income, this issue ofEspaces et sociétés aims to contribute to an emerging issue in French and international urban research.

This special issue of Belgéo attaches importance to time (past, present and future) to see how the context of ecological and climatic crises, characteristic of the Anthropocene, is renewing or not the management, governance, uses and development of water, watercourses, wetlands and flood-prone areas.

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.

The Laboratoire d'études et de recherche en littératures française et francophone (LABERLIF) is organizing this colloquium to promote exchanges between professionals in the field, with the aim of enlightening national and international opinion on the shared privilege of literature and law. Indeed, the interdisciplinary relationship between the two disciplines is no longer a matter of debate in the academic world. The "Law and Literature" movement initiated in the USA in the 1970s demonstrates the mutual enrichment of these two disciplines. The former is recognized for its originality in producing fiction, style and imagination. The second is seen in the establishment of rules, standards and laws. The "Literature and Law" dialogue fosters the intersection of two hermeneutic modes that Ronald Dworkin has made famous in his research activities.
