Collection : Sociétés, Espaces, Temps

Edited by Christine Détrez, Yves-François Le Lay and Igor Moullier

The "Sociétés, Espaces, Temps" collection has, since 1993, been publishing works covering predominantly history, geography and sociology which address issues and themes which bring together the three disciplines. It includes original and unpublished research projects on cross-cutting themes or objects of study, along with plentiful epistemological reflection. It devotes attention to the history of the disciplines themselves, prior to the current divisions. Firmly fixed in the contemporary world, it remains open to older periods of history.
The collection consists predominantly of monographs and is designed to incorporate both paper-based materials and digital and interactive resources and corpora.

Comment les machines ont pris la terre
How did tractors take the land
Enquêtes sur la mécanisation de l'agriculture et ses conséquences
Surveys on the mechanisation of agriculture and its consequences
Sociétés, Espaces, Temps

Le pouvoir des objets
The Power of Objects
La construction matérielle de la domination
The material construction of domination
Sociétés, Espaces, Temps
Do objects have power? How do they contribute to the constantly renewed construction of social power relations? As part of the "material turn" in the social sciences, this book shows that material objects are both operators and indicators of the mechanisms of power and domination that structure societies and their spaces.

Algeria, 1871-1920
Sociétés, Espaces, Temps
Between 1871 and the 1920s, rural banditry was one of the main forms of protest against the colonial authorities. Focusing on the trajectories and horizons of the actors themselves, this book seeks to shed light on a phenomenon that set itself up as a counterweight to the triumph of colonial domination.



Benoît Eyraud
Reconnaître la capacité juridique comme droit humain

Une sociologie affirmative
An Affirmative Sociology

The book proposes to take human rights as a sociological object based on the example of the social controversy of the recognition of "universal legal capacity". He defends an "affirmative sociology" consisting of participating in the production of social ideals.

Le cas des nouvelles migrations italiennes à Paris
The Case of New Italian Migration to Paris
Sociétés, Espaces, Temps
Since the financial crisis of the late 2000s, young adults from Italy have taken to the road of exile once again. These new migrations, little studied, are presented in the media as a brain drain. Through an ethnographic survey of Italians who have recently arrived in Paris, this book proposes a different approach, focusing on the role of family.

Studies on Professional Change

How might we reconsider retraining and professional mobility? This volume compiles case studies (of physicians, farmers, consultants, etc.) that, by defining 'displacement' (of places, borders, and capital), provide a fresh insight into a significant issue in modern society.
