Géographie urbaine

Résumé

alt=photographie d'habitations depuis un toit du Caire.|vignette|Un paysage urbain, au Caire. La géographie urbaine est une branche de la géographie humaine dont l'objet est l'étude géographique du phénomène urbain. C'est donc à la fois l'étude de l'organisation spatiale de la ville et de l'organisation des villes entre elles en réseaux urbains. Elle étudie donc des thèmes comme l'urbanisation, les paysages urbains, les réseaux urbains, la situation, le site d'une ville et la ségrégation des populations en son sein. L'objet de la géographie urbaine est donc distinct de celui de l'urbanisme, ce dernier utilisant l'approche de géographie urbaine de même que la sociologie urbaine, l'économie urbaine, l'histoire et bien sûr la cartographie. Épistémologie L’expression « géographie urbaine » continue à camper parmi les matières fondamentales de cette discipline de l’explication de l’évolution de la « face de la terre ». On ne peut pas dissocier les autres secteurs de la géograph

A geographical study of (M)over-bar(2)(P-2, 4)(main)

Francesca Carocci

We discuss criteria for a stable map of genus two and degree 4 to the projective plane to be smoothable, as an application of our modular desingularisation of (M) over bar (2,n)(P-r, d)(main) via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein singularities.

Moral, Ethics and Geography: An Empirical Perspective on Political, Economical and Sociability Behaviors

Shin Alexandre Koseki

Ethics and morality as objects of research remain important blind spots of geography. Despite their recent attempts to reconcile the discipline’s take on ethics, geographers hardly ever investigate the individual and social production of moral and ethical systems and practices. Instead, they engage in research work in which they use shared ethical beliefs to frame spaces of injustice, practices of care, and environmental hazards. Following Durkheim’s normative stance on the social sciences, Western human geographers have reduced their research scope to comply with the moral and ethical beliefs of their scientific community. Morality is however not only limited to questions of justice/injustice and care/harm. Recent research developments in psychology and anthropology shows human morality as set of adaptive mechanisms to be much broader than the academic “Rawls vs Gilligan”—justice vs care—and to span across other normative categories. In this paper, I expose recent developments on the study of morality and ethics in psychology and anthropology, following primarily two evolutionary research strands: Moral Foundation Theory and Evolutionary Values Theory. I then describe three studies in which I begin to question both social and individual production of normative and moral systems, and their spatial correlates, using methods from political, cultural and urban geography. I finish on a theoretical opening linking contemporary French geography to John Silk’ original preoccupation on “caring at a distance,” and describe how care, but also justice, authority, in-group and purity can be part on a novel geographical inquiry on ethics.

During the last decades, geography has lost its epistemological exceptionality, but is this enough? Social sciences are commonly threatened by methodological nationalism and, more generally, by methodological communalism, that is the corruption of a scientific approach or project by any kind of other social alignment that undermines its capacity to develop a free, autonomous thought. Has geography escaped these pitfalls? In this text, the example of urban studies is taken to try and answer these questions. More specifically, the way the idea of spatial justice has emerged in the last decades is explored through the analysis of five significant books among the academic production on these topics. It is then argued, thanks to a critical review around the iconic notion of ‘gentrification’, that the corpus at stake is more substantial than the limited, partially arbitrary selection of these five books. The present-day situation of urban geography (and probably of urban sociology, too) shows a serious risk of methodological communalism particularly located in Anglophone, and especially North American, literature. Some hypotheses are proposed to explain this particular geography of the academic episteme of inhabited space. It is argued that the potential single-paradigm hegemony in geography and, more generally, in social sciences might fuel this danger. Finally, a possible antidote to this worrying trend could be the simple, but complex idea of putting science, space and society together in a non-dissociable way. The conclusion stresses the necessity of taking up key challenges that urbanity issues raise and the usefulness of epistemological and theoretical pluralism as a major intellectual resource.
