The symposium proposes a reflection on the actors, modalities and temporalities of the territorialization of maritime spaces over the long term, from Antiquity to the present day.
The status of actors deserves particular attention. In the first instance, we have chosen to focus on political actors who have or claim a monopoly of force in a given maritime space, and who use military forces to ensure a more or less continuous and ubiquitous presence at sea.
The modalities of action deployed by political (and military) players, which partly derive from their status, imply interactions with other players - institutional, economic, paramilitary - also present in maritime spaces.
As a result, we need to analyze the way in which the respective fields and degrees of intervention of these players are defined, and the types of relationships they establish (cooperation, interference, opposition). More generally, we need to look for continuities and ruptures in the centuries-old territorialization of maritime spaces.
The general theme of the territorialization of oceanic and maritime spaces can be broken down into five main areas:
1) Sovereignty and its construction in maritime spaces;
2) Armed forces in maritime spaces;
3) Cartographic and discursive representations of the seas;
4) The use and economic exploitation of the seas;
5) Maritime spaces as tools and levers for the development of new knowledge and know-how.
