Comment la géographie sociale est-elle perçue par ceux qui la font ou par ceux qui, sans y adhérer pleinement, lui reconnaissent des spécificités dans le champ de la géographie ? Comment peut-elle contribuer à positionner la géographie dans les sciences sociales? Vingt-cinq auteurs de différentes générations donnent leur point de vue dans le premier d'une série de trois ouvrages issus du colloque Espaces et sociétés aujourd'hui qui s'est tenu à Rennes en octobre 2004. Ces contributions qui portent sur les enjeux scientifiques et méthodologiques actuels révèlent la vita-lité et les capacités de renouvellement de cette orientation de la géographie qui s'est affirmée au début des années 1980. La géographie sociale a évolué dans ses paradigmes, ses questionnements, ses méthodes. Comme l'anthropologie, la socio-logie, l'histoire..., elle est passée des grandes théories explicatives à l'action et l'acteur; elle a renoué avec l'immatériel, l'idéel, le symbolique. Ouverte aux échanges avec d'autres géographies, pleinement investie dans les sciences sociales, la géographie sociale n'en continue pas moins à faire entendre un point de vue original sur le monde et sur la société. La plupart des auteurs réaffirment la nécessité ou le choix de l'implication et de l'engagement du chercheur, renouant ainsi avec des principes affichés par les pionniers de la géographie sociale. En se donnant pour objet la relation à l'autre, telle qu'elle se construit dans l'espace, plutôt que les configurations spatiales (le quartier, la ville, la région...), ces chercheurs sont en mesure d'expliciter des enjeux de pouvoir et des rapports de domination. C'est dans cette démarche d'approfondissement théorique et épistémologique que les auteurs envisagent des enjeux sociétaux (le vivre ensemble, la démocratie...), se positionnent par rapport à d'autres sciences sociales (géopolitique, sociolinguistique) et au sein de différents champs de recherche (médias, sport, santé, ville, risques). Il en…

This open access book provides insight into the domestic space of people with an immigrant or refugee background. It selects and compares a whole spectrum of dwelling conditions with ethnographic material covering a variety of national backgrounds – Latin America, North and West Africa, Eastern Europe, South Asia – and an equally broad range of housing, household and legal arrangements. It provides a fine-grained understanding of migrants’ lived experience of their domestic space and shows the critical significance of the lived space of a house as a microcosm of societal constellations of identities, values and inequalities. The book enhances the connection between migration studies and research into housing, social reproduction, domesticity and material culture and provides an interesting read to scholars in migration studies, policy makers and practitioners with a remit in local housing and integration policies.

In twelve essays written by community leaders, activists, and scholars, Radical Cartographies critically explores the ways in which participatory mapping is being used by indigenous, Afro-descendant, and other traditional groups in Latin America to preserve their territories and cultural identities. Through this pioneering volume, the authors fundamentally rethink the role of maps, with significant lessons for marginalized communities across the globe, and launch a unique dialogue about the radical edge of a new social cartography"--

Bernard Cohn's interest in the construction of Empire as an intellectual and cultural phenomenon has set the agenda for the academic study of modern Indian culture for over two decades. His earlier publications have shown how dramatic British innovations in India, including revenue and legal systems, led to fundamental structural changes in Indian social relations. This collection of his writings in the last fifteen years discusses areas in which the colonial impact has generally been overlooked. The essays form a multifaceted exploration of the ways in which the British discovery, collection, and codification of information about Indian society contributed to colonial cultural hegemony and political control.Cohn argues that the British Orientalists' study of Indian languages was important to the colonial project of control and command. He also asserts that an arena of colonial power that seemed most benign and most susceptible to indigenous influences--mostly law--in fact became responsible for the institutional reactivation of peculiarly British notions about how to regulate a colonial society made up of "others." He shows how the very Orientalist imagination that led to brilliant antiquarian collections, archaeological finds, and photographic forays were in fact forms of constructing an India that could be better packaged, inferiorized, and ruled. A final essay on cloth suggests how clothes have been part of the history of both colonialism and anticolonialism.
