CALL FOR PAPERS IS OPEN

53rd ERSA Congress in Palermo

Dear All 

The CALL FOR PAPERS is now OPEN to the ERSA Congress 2013 in Palermo. 

ERSA Office

Submit a paper to the young scientists sessions at the ERSA2013 conference!

Are you an ambitious young scientist, under 33 years old that wants a good platform to present ideas and results and looks forward to receive comments from the best scholars in Regional Science? Then you should submit your paper to the ERSA Epainos sessions!

The Epainos sessions are organized according to the following two principles:

•Offering more time for each presentation, in particular to increase the amount of feedback a young scientist receives on her or his paper, and to provide more opportunity for other young scientists to participate in scientific discussions.

•Assigning specialist senior discussants, experts in the specific field, to each paper that is presented. They will be asked to provide a written version of their comments, with a level of dedication that is considered normal when writing referee reports for scientific journals.

Every participant of the Young Scientist Sessions competes for the Epainos Award, which is awarded to the best paper presented. The winner will be announced during the closing ceremony. The prize-winning paper will be considered for publication in the flagship journal of the Regional Science Association International, viz. Papers in Regional Science.

Each author will receive a detailed report on their paper.  Papers that are not accepted for one of the Epainos sessions will automatically be scheduled in one of the R-sessions of the conference. There will also be a joint session for young scientists from the Urban Economics Association.

Eligibility: Each co-author should not yet have reached the age of 33 years on 1 September of the year of the conference and not have a senior faculty position (at the Assistant Professor / Lecturer level).

Important dates:

-          1st of March: full paper submission

-          April; notification of acceptance

-          15th of July: final paper submission

See the ERSA website for more information about criteria and former price winners.

2 DESCRIPTIF DE LA MISSION
Au moment la ligne TGV Rhin-Rhône est devenue une réalité, il paraît opportun de poser la question des rapports entre un territoire son tissu économique et ses infrastructures de transport, sur fond de renouvellement des paradigmes territoriaux liés à la grande vitesse et de s’interroger sur les formes de réceptivité sociale ayant freiné ou favorisé l’émergence de ce projet ambitieux pour aboutir à l’inscription au schéma directeur national des liaisons TGV en février 1998, ainsi que sur les représentations que ce mode de transport n’a pas manqué de cristalliser au sein du tissu socioéconomique.

 

Si la LGV Rhin-Rhône suscite aujourd’hui un large consensus, elle a naguère provoqué le scepticisme. L’objectif de cette recherche post-doctorale est de contribuer à l’historicisation de ce qui fut un long combat, afin de dévoiler les causes de la lenteur du processus d’émergence de ce grand projet structurant et de repérer les sources de blocage, les controverses auxquelles il a donné lieu, les résistances qu’il a pu rencontrer.

 

La réflexion s’organisera autour de l’identification des acteurs (politiques, industriels, associatifs…) qui ont joué un rôle décisif dans la naissance de ce projet et dans le processus de légitimation et de décision, en mariant les différentes échelles, à la fois locales, nationales et internationales (la Suisse). Elle s’appuiera sur une approche pluridisciplinaire de Sciences Humaines et Sociales (histoire, géographie, sciences politiques…) afin de rendre compte de la complexité d’un tel projet et des enjeux épistémologiques qui le traverse: en quoi la technique, articulée au politique, peut-elle transformer un territoire et son image, et produire un espace culturel nouveau ? Il s’agit de dépasser des approches hyper paramétrées justifiant la pertinence ou non d’une telle liaison pour tendre vers une démarche scientifique d’un autre type, résolument systémique, visant à décoder les subtilités de la genèse d’un grand projet structurant, de ses modes d’appropriation et des effets de sa mise en oeuvre opérationnelle sur les territoires traversés.

 

Cette recherche prendra appui sur la littérature scientifique existante, mais aussi sur des sources ouvertes et des sources inédites (publiques ou privées), ainsi que sur des sources orales.

  • Sources écrites directement liées à la LGV : (1) Archives de l’Association Trans-Europe TGV Rhin-Rhône-Méditerranée (déposées en décembre 2012 aux archives départementales du Territoire de Belfort) ; (2) Archives personnelles de Jean-Pierre Chevènement, ancien ministre, confiées aux archives municipales de Belfort
  • Sources écrites élargies aux collectivités et entreprises : (1) Archives nationales : J.O., débats de l’Assemblée nationale, archives du Ministère des Transports ; (2) Archives de la SNCF et de RFF ; (3) Archives départementales et des chambres consulaires ; (4) Archives municipales des villes de Métropole Rhin-Rhône ; (5) Délibérations des communautés d’agglomération concernées par la LGV ; (6) Archives médiatique ; (7) Archives des partis politiques
  • Sources orales : une vaste compagne de recueil de témoignages oraux sera lancée auprès des grands acteurs politiques, des industriels, des associations Cette recherche donnera lieu à la production d’articles, à la constitution d’une base de données, à l’organisation d’un séminaire de recherche et d’une exposition itinérante destinée au grand public.

 

3 INFORMATIONS COMPLEMENTAIRES
Le recrutement pourra prendre effet à partir du 1er juillet 2013 pour une durée de 12 mois Le post-doctorant sera localisé dans les locaux du laboratoire IRTES-RECITS sur le Campus de Sevenans.

“We argue that the world is in the midst of a new, enourmous urban revoluion and that in order to ensure the well being of future generations, policy makers researchers must work together to assess where the challenges lie and how to meet them. In many ways our propositions are the consequence of a broader collective effort. They are the result of a remarkable set of workshops and sessions at professional meeting around the world over the past few years. All these sessions, we requested participants to think outside the box about the numebr of aspects of urban growth and change. In our efforts to assemble and organize the conclusions of our experts, we have arrived at the metaphor of the urban piazza – the historiacl centre of urban life in ancient Italian cities in multiple dimensions and spatial sclaes – as a way of thinking about the many contributors to urban development and they ways in which they interact and are interdependent.” (Franklin R, Kourtit K, Nijkamp P and Rodriguez-Pose A, 2013 – A Roadmap for strategic urban research: the Urban Piazza).
