ArgumentaireColloque international&#160;: &#171;&#160;Droit &#224; la ville au Sud, exp&#233;riences citadines et rationalit&#233;s de gouvernement&#160;&#187;Universit&#233; Paris Diderot, CESSMA, 15-16-17 novembre 2017La notion de droit &#224; la ville a r&#233;cemment &#233;t&#233; remobilis&#233;e dans les sph&#232;res acad&#233;miques et militantes en se chargeant de multiples sens (Kuymulu 2013). Les travaux en &#233;tudes urbaines qui la convoquent se sont multipli&#233;s depuis les ann&#233;es 2000. Ce regain d&#8217;int&#233;r&#234;t s&#8217;est d&#8217;abord manifest&#233; dans les travaux d&#8217;auteurs anglophones radicaux du Nord qui ont propos&#233; de reprendre les th&#233;ories d&#8217;Henri Lefebvre (Lefebvre 1968) pour th&#233;oriser un programme de r&#233;sistance contre les transformations socio-&#233;conomiques et politiques n&#233;olib&#233;rales (Purcell 2002; Harvey 2003; Mitchell 2003 ; Brenner, Marcuse, et Mayer 2009). Parall&#232;lement, dans une perspective plus r&#233;formiste, des processus d&#8217;institutionnalisation et de codification de droits se sont enclench&#233;s, s&#8217;appuyant explicitement sur cette notion mais lui donnant un tout autre sens. Le droit &#224; la ville est alors saisi sous un prisme r&#232;glementaire et l&#233;gal, technique et appliqu&#233; afin de promouvoir des agendas de droits sociaux pluriels et mesurables, dans une perspective &#171;&#160;droits de l&#8217;Homme&#160;de seconde g&#233;n&#233;ration&#187;. Certains travaux soulignent d&#232;s lors le risque d&#8217;affadissement de la port&#233;e critique et politique de cette notion (Belda-Miquel, Peris Blanes, et Frediani 2016; Purcell 2013; Mayer 2009)La tension entre agenda r&#233;volutionnaire et programme r&#233;formiste et le risque d&#8217;affaiblissement de la port&#233;e critique de la notion r&#233;sonnent de mani&#232;re particuli&#232;rement forte dans les villes du Sud. En effet, les lectures d&#233;veloppementales de la notion de droit &#224; la ville qui pr&#233;conisent une institutionnalisation de droits y connaissent un large &#233;cho (Parnell et Pieterse 2010; Brown 2010; Z&#233;rah 2011; Aubriot et Moretto 2013). C&#8217;est &#224; ce titre que les travaux sur les villes du Sud ont le plus abond&#233; le d&#233;bat sur cette notion. Cela s&#8217;est concr&#233;tis&#233; notamment par l&#8217;inscription du droit &#224; la ville dans les agendas onusiens (Jouve 2009 ; Costes 2010) ou dans des l&#233;gislations nationales, en particulier au Br&#233;sil (Lopez de Souza, 2009). Dans le m&#234;me temps, la notion de droit &#224; la ville a &#233;t&#233; reprise en charge par des auteurs n&#233;omarxistes, ou plus largement dans une perspective politique et critique, cela &#224; partir du Sud. Elle vise alors &#224; penser la mont&#233;e de la participation d&#233;mocratique et de formes de r&#233;sistances politiques dans le contexte de l&#8217;aggravation des in&#233;galit&#233;s intra-urbaines li&#233;e &#224; la n&#233;olib&#233;ralisation (Samara, He, et Chen 2013; Carri&#243;n et Erazo 2016).Ces diff&#233;rents corpus th&#233;oriques dialoguent plus ou moins bien entre eux. En outre, ils posent la question du statut de la notion de droit &#224; la ville, tant&#244;t consid&#233;r&#233;e comme un slogan et un programme politique&#160;qui fait l&#8217;objet de l&#8217;&#233;tude, tant&#244;t comme une cat&#233;gorie d&#8217;analyse, les deux niveaux &#233;tant le plus souvent entrem&#234;l&#233;s. Face &#224; cette difficult&#233;, nous proposons de remettre en travail cette notion &#224; partir des villes du Sud en d&#233;calant sa port&#233;e critique. Nous inspirant des travaux de W.&#160;Nicholls et F. Vermeulen (2012) et de J.-A. Boudreau, N. Boucher et M. Liguori (2009) qui examinent l&#8217;influence des exp&#233;riences citadines sur la conscientisation et les mobilisations politiques, nous proposons de penser le droit &#224; la ville comme un concept analytique qui permet de penser les relations entre pratiques quotidiennes des citadins et rationalit&#233;s de gouvernement. Pour ce faire, nous proposons de livrer &#224; la discussion la notion de &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187;.Le &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187; d&#233;signe un processus de mise en ordre sociale et spatiale qui se joue &#224; l&#8217;interface entre action publique (&#233;laboration des politiques publiques, pratiques des agents de l&#8217;Etat) et pratiques quotidiennes des citadins, en tant qu&#8217;elles construisent des routines (Morange et Spire et Morange, Spire et Planel, num&#233;ro sp&#233;cial &#224; para&#238;tre). Le &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187; renvoie donc &#224; la mani&#232;re dont les citadins contribuent &#224; construire un ordre urbain social et spatial &#224; travers la r&#233;p&#233;tition au quotidien de gestes, la consolidation de liens sociaux, l&#8217;adh&#233;sion pratique &#224; des r&#232;gles collectives, les mani&#232;res d&#8217;occuper et de s&#8217;approprier l&#8217;espace... &#160;Nous soutenons que ces conditions concr&#232;tes de la vie citadine influencent les mani&#232;res d&#8217;&#234;tre et de se projeter dans la ville. Le &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187; implique donc de d&#233;celer ce qui, dans l&#8217;exp&#233;rience de la vie citadine, conduit &#224; la formation d&#8217;une conception normative de sa place en ville, de ce que peut et doit &#234;tre l&#8217;ordre urbain, spatial, politique et social. &#160;In fine cela interroge aussi les temporalit&#233;s de ces processus et la mani&#232;re dont ils s&#8217;institutionnalisent dans la dur&#233;e.Dans cet esprit, ce colloque vise &#224; r&#233;unir des communications portant sur la dimension politique des pratiques quotidiennes des citadins. Ces derni&#232;res ont de longue date attir&#233; l&#8217;attention des &#233;tudes urbaines sur les villes du Sud, qui ont par exemple &#233;tudi&#233; les ancrages urbains ou la construction de la citadinit&#233;. Ce colloque se propose de nourrir et prolonger ces travaux en questionnant la dimension politique des exp&#233;riences citadines au Sud. La question de la dimension et du potentiel politique des pratiques citadines a &#233;t&#233; abord&#233;e dans les discussions sur l&#8217;affirmation d&#8217;un droit &#224; l&#8217;informalit&#233; (Huchzermeyer 2011), &#224; travers la dimension &#171;&#160;insurgente&#160;&#187; de la citoyennet&#233; (Holston 2008), ou encore &#224; propos des capacit&#233; d&#8217;empi&#232;tement tranquille des citadins qui les constituent en sujets politiques (Bayat 2010). Les mobilisations et les processus de conscientisation politiques ont &#233;t&#233; consid&#233;r&#233;s dans leur rapport &#224; la pluralit&#233; des exp&#233;riences citadines et de la condition urbaine (Uitermark et al. 2012). Ces d&#233;bats rappellent que c&#8217;est &#224; travers leurs pratiques de l&#8217;espace urbain que les citadins font l&#8217;exp&#233;rience de processus d&#8217;exclusion sociale, de rel&#233;gation, de marginalisation, mais aussi d&#8217;inclusion politique et sociale, d&#8217;affirmation de formes de citoyennet&#233; en partie locale dont le contenu reste &#233;minemment difficile &#224; interpr&#233;ter. Autrement dit, le &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187; implique de consid&#233;rer les pratiques citadines dans leurs dimensions &#224; la fois conformistes et subversives. La construction du &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187; peut s&#8217;observer &#224; partird&#8217;objets tr&#232;s classiques dans la litt&#233;rature sur villes du sud,&#160;tels que le logement, les services, l&#8217;espace public, le commerce de rue, les lieux de la migration. Ils permettent d&#8217;appr&#233;hender les diff&#233;rentes formes d&#8217;interaction entre citadins et agents de l&#8217;Etat au sens large, inscrites dans la dur&#233;e des vies citadines et d&#233;ploy&#233;es dans le quotidien. Ces formes d&#8217;interactions sont particuli&#232;rement visibles lors d&#8217;interventions &#233;tatiques&#160;: processus de r&#233;gularisation, politiques migratoires et processus d&#8217;invisibilisation/visibilisation des migrants, ou de restructuration/r&#233;habilitation des quartiers pr&#233;caires. Ces moments de passage nous semblent constituer des objets d&#8217;&#233;tude privil&#233;gi&#233;s pour analyser les pistes de r&#233;flexion autour de ce &#171;&#160;droit &#224; la ville de fait&#160;&#187; compris non pas comme le r&#233;sultat de conflits politiques ouverts (mobilisations, luttes urbaines...) mais comme un processus d&#8217;ajustement entre exp&#233;riences citadines et rationalit&#233;s de gouvernement dans la production de normes.Les contributions pourront porter sur des &#233;tudes de cas li&#233;es aux diff&#233;rentes th&#233;matiques s&#8217;inscrivant dans les d&#233;bats soulev&#233;s par le droit &#224; la ville. Les approches th&#233;oriques pourront questionner les enjeux de la mobilisation en sciences sociales de la notion de droit &#224; la ville et de sa dimension normative. Nous porterons &#233;galement attention aux contributions &#233;pist&#233;mologiques et sur la mani&#232;re dont les travaux sur les villes du Sud peuvent, et &#224; quelles conditions, s&#8217;emparer d&#8217;une notion &#233;labor&#233;e et travaill&#233;e &#224; partir des villes du Nord. Nous proposons d&#8217;ouvrir le colloque &#224; des travaux sur le Nord dans la mesure o&#249; la communication comportera une dimension comparative avec les villes du Sud.Les langues du colloque sont le fran&#231;ais et l&#8217;anglais. Des propositions de communications en espagnol et en portugais seront examin&#233;es dans la mesure o&#249; elles peuvent &#234;tre appuy&#233;es sur des supports visuels (de type diapositives) r&#233;dig&#233;s en fran&#231;ais ou en anglais. Pour des raisons techniques et financi&#232;res, il est impossible d&#8217;offrir une traduction simultan&#233;e &#224; toutes les communications mais les organisateurs faciliteront les &#233;changes dans les quatre langues lors des discussions collectives.Ce colloque est le produit d&#8217;un travail sur le droit &#224; la ville, men&#233; depuis 2013 au laboratoire CESSMA (Centre d'Etudes en Sciences Sociales sur les Mondes Africains, Am&#233;ricains et Asiatiques) par le collectif de recherche Dalvaa (https://dalvaa.hypotheses.org/).

UNESCO &#38; Centre de Sciences Humaines.PresentationInternational conference: &#171;&#160;The Right to the City in the South, everyday urban experience and rationalities of government&#160;&#187;University Paris Diderot, CESSMA, 15-16-17 November 2017The concept of the Right to the City has recently resurfaced in academic and activist circles, adopting a number of different meanings in the process (Kuymulu 2013). Research in Urban Studies addressing the issue of the Right to the City has expanded significantly since the 2000s. This renewed interest was kickstarted by radical Anglophone researchers based in the Northern hemisphere, who mobilized Henri Lefebvre's writings (Lefebvre 1968) to theorize an agenda of resistance against neoliberal socio-economic and political transformations (Purcell 2002; Harvey 2003; Mitchell 2003; Brenner, Marcuse, and Mayer 2009). In parallel, in a more reformist perspective, the institutionalization and codification of bona fide Rights explicitly modeled after the Right to the City took place, thoroughly transforming the latter in the process. As a result, the Right to the City is now also mobilized in a regulatory, legal, technical and applied frame aiming at the promotion of both plural and quantifiable social rights agendas, prefiguring the advent of a Second Generation of Human Rights. Critiques have been prompt to warn against the watering down of the critical and political dimensions of the notion brought by such an extension (Belda-Miquel, Peris Blanes, and Frediani 2016; Purcell 2013; Mayer 2009).The tension between revolutionary agenda and reformist programme, as well as the potential watering down of the critical dimension of the notion, seem particularly visible in cities of the South. Indeed, developmental interpretations of the Right to the City recommending an institutionalization of Rights have become very popular (Parnell and Pieterse 2010; Brown 2010; Z&#233;rah 2011; Aubriot and Moretto 2013). Research on cities of the South have overwhelmingly adopted this perspective. As a direct result, the Right to the City has made its way in the agendas of international institutions such as the U.N. (Jouve 2009; Costes 2010) or in national legislations, in particular in Brazil (Lopez de Souza, 2009). At the same time, the notion of the Right to the City has been taken over by Neomarxist researchers, or more broadly researchers with a political and critical perspective, from the South. The notion in this case is mobilized to think the rise of democratic participation and forms of political resistance in a context of growing intra-urban inequalities caused by neoliberalism (Samara, He, and Chen 2013; Carri&#243;n and Erazo 2016). These various scientific productions and theoretical angles do not easily talk to or inform each other. Furthermore, the issue of the status of the Right to the City remains open: it is at times mobilized by researchers as a slogan and a political programme, at times as an analytical category, and sometimes both at the same time. Confronted to this difficulty, we propose a decentering of the critical capacity of the notion of the Right to the City, aiming at focusing on the interplay between urban policies and oridnary, everyday urban experience. Inspired by the works of W.&#160;Nicholls &#38; F. Vermeulen (2012) and of J.-A. Boudreau, N. Boucher &#38; M. Liguori (2009), who all take into consideration the role of ordinary city experience in the conscientization and political mobilization of city-dwellers, we want to take the Right to the City as a useful analytical concept in order to understand the relations between the daily practices of city-dwellers and rationalities of government. In this sense, we want to introduce the notion of a "De facto Right to the City".This "De facto Right to the City" characterizes the process of spatial and social ordering played at the intersection between public action (the designing of public policies, the practices of agents of the state...) and urban daily practices, insofar as this interplay produces recognizable routines (Morange &#38; Spire, forthcoming, and Morange, Spire &#38; Planel, forthcoming). The notion of a "De facto Right to the City" aims at identifying the way city-dwellers participate in the construction of a social and spatial order in the city by means of, inter alia, the daily repetition of gestures, the consolidation of social connections, the practical compliance to collective rules, the means of occupying and appropriating space... We claim that the actual conditions of city life influence the means of existing and projecting oneself in the city. The "De facto Right to the City" forces us to identify what in urban experiences leads to the formation of a normative conception of one's place in the city, of what can and must be the urban, spatial, political and social order. In fine, it also questions the temporalities of these processes and the way they institutionalize in the long term.The proposed conference aims at gathering researchers working on the political dimension of the daily practices of urban dwellers. Such urban practices have been on the agenda of Urban Studies scholars working in cities of the South for a long time: they have produced research on urban anchoring and integration to the city, or on the construction of citadinit&#233; (&#8220;cityness&#8221;). The conference wishes to expand these works and to question the political dimension of ordinary urban practices in the South. The issue of the dimension and of the political potential of ordinary urban practices has been explored via the emergence of a Right to Informality (Huchzermeyer 2011), via the exploration of the insurgent dimension of urban citizenship (Holston 2008), or via the analysis of the" quiet encroachment" capacities of city dwellers which establishes them as political subjects (Bayat 2010). Mobilizations and processes of political conscientization have also been explored in their relationship to the plurality of urban experience and condition (Uitermark et al. 2012). These debates remind us that it is through their practices of urban space that city dwellers experience processes of social exclusion, of relegation, of marginalization, but also of political and social integration, of assertion of forms of partly local citizenship whose exact nature is difficult to pinpoint. Simply put, the idea of a "De facto Right to the City" forces us to take into consideration urban practices in their dual dimensions of conformity and subversion.The construction of a "De facto Right to the City" can be observed through the analysis of classic topics for research in cities of the South, such as housing, service delivery, public space, informal trading, and the places of migration. These topics can help us apprehend the various forms of interaction between city-dwellers and agents of the state taken in a broad sense. These interactions are constitutive of city lives in the long term and can be observed in daily routines. They are particularly visible on the occasion of public interventions: regularization processes, the implementation of migration policy and the accompanying invisibilization/visibilization of migrants, or the restructuring/rehabilitation of informal settlements. These particular transitional times appear as privileged and fruitful to analyze the "De facto Right to the City" understood not as an end to open political conflict mobilization, urban struggles, etc., but as a process of constant readjustments in the production of norms, between urban experiences and rationalities of government.Proposals can consist in empirical case studies addressing the different debates around the Right to the City. They can also consist in theoretical approaches questioning for instance the issue of the mobilization of the Right to the City in Social Sciences, as well as its normative dimension. They can also consist in epistemological contributions addressing how research based on cities of the South can, and under what conditions, mobilize a notion forged and developed for cities of the North. The conference is also open to contributions from cities of the North, insofar as they specifically encompass a comparative dimension with cities of the South.The conference will be held in French and English. Proposals originally written in Spanish and Portuguese will be selected insofar as a visual presentation (slides) in English or French is provided by the author. For technical and financial reasons, simultaneous translation will not be available during the conference but the organizers will facilitate exchanges in all four languages during the collective discussions.Submission guidelinesThis conference is part of a research project on the Right to the City hosted since 2013 by CESSMA (Centre d'Etudes en Sciences Sociales sur les Mondes Africains, Am&#233;ricains et Asiatiques) by research collective Dalvaa (https://dalvaa.hypotheses.org/). The project is funded by Ville de Paris as part of their &#171;&#160;Emergences &#187; initiatives.Partial funding will be available for researchers who wish to give a presentation but cannot benefit from funding from their home institution. Priority will be given to researchers holding precarious positions.Proposals for the conference must be sent to the following address:colloquedalv2017@gmail.comby the 4th May 2017 at the latestThey should consist in a title, an abstract no longer than 500 words, a short presentation of the author(s) (name, home institution and position, email address) as well as a short bibliography.Organizing committeeMarianne&#160;Morange (Paris Diderot-CESSMA-IUF)Sabine Planel (IRD-Imaf)Aur&#233;lie Quentin (Paris Nanterre-UMR LAVUE)Amandine Spire (Paris Diderot-CESSMA)Scientific secretaryIsabelle Nicaise, Secr&#233;tariat-Gestion CESSMA - UMR 245, Universit&#233; Paris Diderot, B&#226;timent Olympe de Gouges, Bureau 817, Rue Albert Einstein, 75013 PARIS, FranceScientific committeeDALVAA research group (https://dalvaa.hypotheses.org/colloque-2017)Aholou Cyprien, sociology, University of Lom&#233;, project manager of the Greater Lom&#233; City Development StrategyArabindoo Pushpa, architecture and planning, Department of Geography, University College LondonBallard Richard, geography, Gauteng City-Region Observatory/University of the Witwatersrand-JohannesburgBarrera Augusto, urban studies, Facultad latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, QuitoCravino Cristina, anthropology, Universitad de Buenos Aires, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient&#237;ficas y T&#233;cnicasDa Cunha Neiva, anthropology Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, LeMetro/IFCS-UFRJDeboulet Agn&#232;s, sociology, University Paris 8, UMR LAVUEDorman Sara (to be confirmed), political sciences, University of EdinburghDupont V&#233;ronique, demography - urban studies,&#160; Institut de Recherche pour le D&#233;veloppement, UMR CESSMAErazo Jaime, urban studies, Facultad latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (Quito), Universidad Aut&#243;noma Metropolitana, MexicoErdi-Lelandais G&#252;l&#231;in, sociology, CNRS, MSH-UMR CITERESGiglia Angela, anthropology, Universidad Aut&#243;noma Metropolitana, MexicoGiorghis Fasil (to be confirmed), architecture and urban planning, Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development, Addis Ababa UniversityKuymulu Mehmet Bariş, urban studies, Middle East Technical University, UNESCO, AnkaraNativel Didier, history, University Paris Diderot, UMR CESSMANicholls Walter, sociology, University of California IrvineOwusu&#160; Georges, geography, Department of Geography and Resource Development, University of Ghana LegonPezzano Antonio, political sciences, Dipartimento Asia Africa e Mediterraneo, Universit&#224; degli Studi di Napoli "L'Orientale"Pr&#233;v&#244;t-Schapira Marie-France, geography, University Paris 8, UMR CREDARobinson Jennifer, geography, Department of Geography, University College LondonSemmoud Nora, urban planning, University Fran&#231;ois Rabelais-Tours, UMR CITERESSoares Goncalves Rafael, history and legal studies, Pontif&#237;cia Universidade Cat&#243;lica do Rio de JaneiroZamorano-Villarreal Claudia, anthropology, Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropolog&#237;a Social, MexicoZ&#233;rah Marie-H&#233;l&#232;ne, urban studies, Institut de Recherche pour le D&#233;veloppement, UMR CESSMABibliographyAubriot, J., &#38; L.
