Abstract:
The call for papers focuses on the repertoires of contemporary mobilization on ecology and the environment. This range includes info-communication (media, internet, social networks), educational, legal (including lobbying and advocacy), artistic, scientific, etc. Consensual forms coexist with more conflictual or radical forms, this radicality sometimes undermining environmental concertation efforts. While some media and political actors use disqualifying names ("Green Khmers", "ecoterrorism"), how can the legitimacy of environmental struggles be built in the public space? With what arguments, discourses and images can we justify intrusions and disruptions in a variety of scenarios, from the most everyday (transport, housing, leisure) to those that are a priori more distant from environmental concerns (sport, fashion, luxury)? We are also interested in the types of scientific and professional commitment that lead to particular forms of activism, sometimes assumed, sometimes questioned or denied (committed scientists, lawyers, architects, craftsmen, etc.). Finally, this colloquium intends to explore citizen participation in ecology, which, carrying an ethos and a singular organization, brings out knowledge, information and expertise that feed the public debate. Thus, three axes structure this program:

Axis 1. Repertoires of struggles and mobilizations in a changing media environment
Axis 2. Participation, citizen expertise and militant trajectories
Axis 3. Hybridities: activism and professional ethos
