On December 1 and 2, 2022, the research group on communication issues (GRESEC) and the historical research laboratory for Rhône-Alpes (LARHRA), in collaboration with MSH-Alpes and the innovations and transitions in mountain territories laboratory (Labex ITTEM), are organising an international congress. The congress aims to propose a critical debate on these mandatory social and environmental changes in mountain regions and on transition as a category for analysing these changes.

Yet another transition?
Social and environmental changes in mountain regions

This call therefore invites communication proposals from different human and social science disciplines: history, information and communication sciences, sociology, geography, anthropology, etc. The proposals submitted may correspond to one of the following three themes. Note that these themes are not an exhaustive list of the issues concerned.

1) Scientific research in the mountains: territorialisations, representations, commitments

2) Mountain territory organisations: scales, governance, participative operations

3) Territorial conflict in mountain regions: controversy, mobilisation, mediatisation

The submission period for communication proposals will close on July 1, 2022. Results for the selected proposals will be published on September 30, 2022.

This international symposium will take place simultaneously in presence in Grenoble and remotely, including for those who will present their research work.
