1. LES SPATIALITÉS DU DÉSIR HOMOSEXUEL DANS L'ESPACE PUBLIC RÉGIONAL: APPROCHE CARTOGRAPHIQUE À PARTIR DES LIEUX DE DRAGUE DE LA RÉGION HAUTS-DE-FRANCE.

Author

Abstract

Using data from a cruising website specialized in public sex places, it is possible to establish a map of potential male cruising locations at a regional scale. In the Hauts-de-France region (northern France), the results show that cruising places are strongly established in areas away from large cities, particularly those that are easily accessible, more permissive with regard to nudity, and with significant natural amenities. About the users of the website, the results show a strong adherence to a bisexual identity and an over-representation of individuals living in small towns in the south of the region. These analyses, based on unpublished data, provide information on the expression of homosexual desires, which are often invisible in small towns and the countryside, by showing that these less densely populated areas also possess places that are potentially suitable to these practices. They also call into question the low binarity of the sexual identities assumed online by users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the upper reaches of the River Niger, particularly in the gold-rich circle of Kangaba, informal alluvial gold panning by dredging involves a variety of stakeholders: the Somono, the traditional masters and users of the water, blacksmiths, landowners, local authorities, technical service agents, and immigrant gold miners, particularly internally displaced persons from conflict zones. However, in view of the adverse environmental effects of dredging, regulatory policies adopted in 2019 have unsuccessfully banned gold mining by dredging in Mali. This article analyzes the economic and social stakes of dredging, as well as the inequalities in the application of the ban that motivate circumvention and legitimize the persistence of the practice.

3. Ceramics, clothing and other bodies: affective geographies of homoerotic cruising encounters.

Abstract

This paper provides a new approach to the geographies of cruising and public homosex. For some time, social scientists have contended that, in those semi-public spaces where men meet each other for sex, actions speak louder than words and men's competency in using the space is more important that the (sexual) identities they claim in other aspects of their lives. This paper extends that argument in a new direction through an engagement with recent theorizations of affective geographies and more-than-representational approaches to spatial practices. Through a series of short vignettes of cruising encounters on city streets, in public toilets and in urban green spaces, this paper examines how public homosex is enacted and performed in relation to both human and non-human bodies, objects and the environment in which it takes place. The encounters described in the paper draw attention to the complex choreography of gestures through which cruising is performed and sexual engagement is negotiated ethically. I contend that the site-specific, performative nature of these sexual encounters suggests a more contingent sexuality arising from the interaction of bodies in specific environments and exceeding the boundaries of reified sexual identities.

Abstract

Cet article fait partie d'un EBOOK: Biogeochemistry and Genomics of Silicification and Silicifiers édité par Marion Gehlen, Stephen Baines, Brivaëla Moriceau et Paul Tréguer, publié dans: Frontiers in Marine Science and Frontiers in Earth Science (ISSN 1664-8714 ; ISBN 978-2-88963-085-1 ; DOI 10.3389/978-2-88963-085-1); International audience; In this contribution, the study of the Bay of Brest ecosystem changes over the past 50 years is used to explore the construction of interdisciplinary knowledge and raise key questions that now need to be tackled at the science-policy-communities interface. The Bay of Brest is subject to a combination of several aspects of global change, including excessive nutrient inputs from watersheds and the proliferation of invasive species. These perturbations strongly interact, affecting positively or negatively the ecosystem functioning, with important impacts on human activities. We first relate a cascade of events over these five decades, linking farming activities, nitrogen, and silicon biogeochemical cycles, hydrodynamics of the Bay, the proliferation of an exotic benthic suspension feeder, the development of the Great scallop fisheries and the high biodiversity in maerl beds. The cascade leads to today's situation where toxic phytoplankton blooms become recurrent in the Bay, preventing the fishery of the great scallop and forcing the fishermen community to switch pray and alter the maerl habitat and the benthic biodiversity it hosts, despite the many scientific alerts and the protection of this habitat. In the second section, we relate the construction of the interdisciplinary knowledge without which scientists would never have been able to describe these changes in the Bay. Interdisciplinarity construction is described, first among natural sciences (NS) and then, between natural sciences and human and social sciences (HSS). We finally ask key questions at the science-policy interface regarding this unsustainable trend of the Bay: How is this possible, despite decades of joint work between scientists and fishermen? Is adaptive co-management a sufficient condition for a sustainable management of an ecosystem? How do the different groups (i.e., farmers, fishermen, scientists, environmentalists), with their diverse interests, take charge of this situation? What is the role of power in this difficult transformation to sustainability? Combining natural sciences with political science, anthropology, and the political sociology of science, we hope to improve the contribution of HSS to integrated studies of social-ecological systems, creating the conditions to address these key questions at the science-policy interface to facilitate the transformation of the Bay of Brest ecosystem toward sustainability.
