Bonjour,
Je vous transfert le message de Christelle Hue concernant le premier séminaire du Pôle Chaires. Pour toutes questions, vous pouvez la contacter (voir coordonnées ci-dessous).
Le premier séminaire du Pôle Chaires se tiendra le
vendredi 25 mai de 14h30 à 17h00
en salle A 314, bâtiment d'Alembert, à Guyancourt.
René Audet, enseignant-chercheur en sociologie à la Chaire Econoving, interviendra sur le thème :
TRANSITION AS DISCOURSE AND THE ISSUES OF PLANNING, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND INNOVATION
This paper presents a discourse analysis of the different
versions of the notion of "transition" emerging in the global
discursive space on environmental governance.
While academia hot spots are currently building up new approaches
to understand “sustainability transitions”, the notion of
“transition” also springs in the political discourse of diverse
actors. Significant cases range from the coming Rio+20 debate on
“transition to a green economy” to the 2009 Stern Review’s plea
for “transition to a low-carbon economy”, the New Economic
Foundation’s view for a “great transition”, or the political
ecology’s arguments for a transition to de-growth.
My thesis states that the fact that so many global actors now have
a take on the transition debate have had the effect of creating a
distinct "discursive space" on this topic, a discursive space"
being defined as an area of discourse that is more or less
institutionalized around an object of discourse and which
constitutes an arena for power struggle. The existence of such a
discursive space implies a process of discursive struggles and
alliances, of tendencies for fragmentation and for cohesion, that
will eventually lead to a more broadly accepted (and, so to speak,
a socially constructed) notion of transition in global
environmental governance. Hence the relevance of this discourse
analysis: what form will transition take as a global discourse?
How could it direct global transformation processes?
The discourse analysis undertaken for the redaction of this paper
will include four domains where the topic of transition has
emerged: the transition management academic cluster in the EU; the
political-ecological framing of transition as proposed by the
leftist think thank The New Economic foundation; the idea of
transition to a low-carbon economy nurtured in the UN climate
change negotiations; and the transition to a green economy that
sprang in the preparation to the Rio+20 conference.
The discourse analysis will insist on three issues of discourses
on transition. Firstly, how does the idea of economic planning is
presented? Secondly, to what extent do environmental justice
issues are considered as relevant to transition? Thirdly, what
role for technological innovation vs social innovation?
The discourse analysis of transition should bring to a new level
the understanding of the institutional and discursive
transformations happening at the intersection of globalization and
the ecological crisis.
Vous êtes tous attendus nombreux pour cette première séance des séminaires du Pôle Chaires.
