The Labex DRIIHM 2020 calls for research projects (OHM, interOHM and Post-doc) will be open on November 1, 2019. The submission platform will remain open until midnight (French time) on 15 December 2019.

• The list of winners of the OHM calls for projects will be published in January 2020.
• For the calls for post-doctoral and DRIIHM projects (InterOHM), the winners will be announced in mid-February.

Particularities of Labex DRIIHM 2020 calls for research projects -

1. In addition to the research axes specific to each OHM, all OHMs will devote this year a component of the calls for research projects to the topic "Contaminants, contaminations"
2. Be careful! The call for research projects "OHMi Nunavik" is postponed to the first quarter of 2020. Under this November-December 2019 call, you will only be able to submit interOHM and post-doctoral projects concerning this OHMi.
3. Following the renewal of the Labex DRIIHM from 2020-2024, we are switching this year to a new organization, namely:

• OHM and interOHM calls for research projects every 2 years, so biennial projects!
• and an annual postdoctoral APR (2 successful candidates per year - maximum contract amount: €50,000; if the applicant's professional experience and seniority requires a higher salary, it will be necessary to provide co-funding).

• OHM Bassin Minier de Provence
• OHMi Estarreja
• OHM Pyrénées - haut-Vicdessos
• OHM Littoral Méditerranéen
• OHMi Nunavik
• OHM Oyapock
• OHMi Téssékéré
• OHM Vallée du Rhône
• DRIIHM
• OHMi PimaCounty
• OHM Pays-de-Bitche

Circulations, borders ans cities in the Guianas

November 7th to 9th 2018, University of French Guiana, Cayenne

Website: cfvg.sciencesconf.org

Building on the work of researchers and specialists in the last decades, recent initiatives are revitalizing thought about the changes in the French Guiana’s borders, whether at the scale of French Guiana or the Guiana Shield (Blancodini P., 2010 ; Morel, Letniowska-Swiat, 2012 ; AUDeG, 2013 ; CAUE de Guyane, 2014 ; Carlin et al., 2014 ; Collomb & Mam Lam Fouk, 2016). The analysis of the borders has been focused on the geopolitical stakes for many years due to many border disputes, including the « contested conflict » between France and Brazil (Vidal de La Blache, 1901 ; Lézy, 2000 ; Granger, 2011 ; Théry, 2015 ; Ferretti, 2014) or between Venezuela and Guyana (de Vilhena Silva, 2017). The contemporary approaches no longer reduce boundaries to their status as limits between territorial entities. We can say that the Guianas’ borders, in particular fluvial, have a « thickness » (Agier, 2013), which allows them to be learned as spaces of exchange, active margins and creators of urban evolutions. Cross-border areas, which are often extended to the internal borders, constitute areas of mutation, where old socio-spatial structures interact with recent dynamics of settlement and development (das Chagas Martins et al., 2016). Thus, the purpose of this symposium is to question the transformations experienced by these border areas from the Amazon to the Orinoco. The attention will be focused on interactions between circulations, margins and cities in the Guianas, analysed according to three axes:

• Circulations and mobilities
• Borders and margins
• Economic sectors and urban dynamics

This symposium is aimed primarily at researchers and young researchers in the social sciences (geography, economy, anthropology, sociology, history, political science). Languages used in the symposium are: French, English and Portuguese.

Abstracts of papers made in two of these languages (200 words, with five keywords) are expected by July 10, 2018.  

The deposit of abstracts is done on the website of the symposium : cfvg.sciencesconf.org.

The abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and notices will be sent on September 15, 2018.
