This one-day workshop will first review the definition(s) of "world war", then look back at past wars described as "world", and finally look at imaginary world wars, either prospective (scenarios of a third world war during the Cold War, current scenarios...) or purely literary (the Picrocholines wars, those envisaged by Captain Danrit - Lieutenant-Colonel Driant - or more broadly in science fiction.

Expected contributions on the issue of urban sprawl in the Mediterranean basin and in relation to the environment will focus on case studies with the aim of deciphering urbanization processes in terms of ways of living. They involve examining the mechanisms of design-realization-anthropization of space, including changes in planning principles and social practices. The "co-evolution" of interdependencies between the management and planning of needs, environmental quality and the quality of life, integrates several themes of reflection that relate to different issues and logics of planning (urban planning instruments, actors, constraints, standards, regulation...).

Power and knowledge are inextricably linked. They nourish and engender each other, building hegemonic frameworks that fluctuate according to time, geography and culture. When one or the other is called into question, a crisis of legitimacy arises, and takes the form of contentious discourses and practices, often associated with the emergence of counter-knowledge and counter-power. The colloquium organized by the IMAGER laboratory (Institut des mondes anglophone, germanique et roman, Université Paris-Est Créteil) aims to offer a fresh look at contestation through the prism of interactions between power and knowledge. Like the various research teams that make up the laboratory, the colloquium is resolutely trans-disciplinary, and aims to highlight the work of researchers in linguistics, didactics, the arts and literature, the history of ideas and civilization.

This thematic issue of the journal Éthique publique is devoted to the theme of ethics alerts, also known as signalling, denunciation or whistleblowing. Ethical whistleblowing involves revealing illegal or illegitimate practices such as corruption, fraud or harm to public health, to entities capable of intervening to put a stop to such practices. Now recognized as an essential tool in the fight against reprehensible behavior, ethical whistleblowing is gaining in visibility through high-profile ethical scandals that highlight the essential role played by a whistleblower. This issue aims to enrich our understanding of ethical whistleblowing by exploring its own motives, its regulatory framework, the legal protections to which whistleblowers are entitled in the face of frequent reprisals, the organizational factors influencing the effectiveness of whistleblowing, and its impacts, both positive and negative, on whistleblowers, their entourage and the entities targeted by their revelations.

If the stereotype categorizes and simplifies the other culture, the other people, the other nation, the other religion, the other language, isn't it symptomatic of ethnocentrism? It would open the door to xenophobia and racism. But how can we explain the presence of positive, even rewarding stereotypes? If so, wouldn't it be a sign of friendship, respect, fraternity and admiration? Of course, these stereotypes are not without their faults either. The aim of this study day is to create a collective reflection on cultural stereotypes from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is to examine the circulation and use of stereotypes in different disciplines and linguistic and cultural areas. This call for papers is aimed primarily at young researchers (PhD students, post-docs, Masters students).

What remains of Max Weber's ideal-types of legitimacy? This (overly) schematic question is a poor summary of the colloquium's purpose, yet it is its foundation. Legitimacy is the foundation of political regimes, and Weber's analysis of it has become a classic. Today, however, we need to re-examine these categories. Are they still relevant today? Have new types of legitimacy emerged? In new fields (such as climate change and the media)? At a time when it seems that the foundations of our states are being shaken by multiple factors, questioning the concept of legitimacy is of the utmost relevance.
