Armand Colin.Examining the relation between geography and history, the founding father of the French school of human geography, Paul Vidal de La Blache (1845-1918), defined it in 1913 as “a science of places, not of humans”. On the other hand, the Japanese philosopherWATSUJI Tetsur? (1889-1960), in a codicil to the second edition of F?do (Milieux, 1935), recognized that his mesology (f?doron) would have benefited from Vidal’s conception of geography, but that it would not have changed the principles of his own theory. While referring to Jakob von UEXKüLL’s (1864-1944) mesology (Umweltlehre) and to NISHIDA Kitar?’s (1870-1945) “logic of place” (basho no ronri), one questions here Vidal’s and Watsuji’s respective conceptions of place and environment, and shows what followed the intellectual synergy which Watsuji thus initiated.

The aim is to better understand how one of the most powerful transnational audiovisual platforms is scaled from international to local, how it contributes to several socioeconomic and cultural reconfigurations, as well as its limits. More broadly, the article proposes to contribute to recent research in geography on the articulation linkages between digital platforms and territories. The methodology relies on a qualitative approach combining the study of documents produced by public and private actors from the audiovisual sector, semi-structured interviews conducted in India between 2018 and 2019 and the analysis of information (editorial and technical choices) and content collected on the platform.

Armand Colin.Do current mandates to adapt territories to climate change and its effects contribute to the emergence of new forms of development in flood prone areas (by overflowing rivers or marine submersion), through the development of new operational practices aimed at flood and water planning? This question is examined through a comparative analysis of development policies for flood-prone areas currently implemented in France and Spain. In France, new forms of public action are emerging (at least occasionally) to promote the resilience of territories to flooding and their adaptation to climate change. Resilient urban planning initiatives and the relocation of properties in risk areas are two manifestations of the gradual appropriation of this new logic by local planners. In contrast, initiatives that follow the logic of living with the risk of flooding appear to be much more embryonic in Spain. However and after some recent flood episodes, this new perspective and the forms of development associated with it are subject to increasing debates that question conventional flood management measures and promote a more flood resilient urbanism.

On social medias, the first official communication was posted one hour after the beginning of the event. Expectations around the use of Social Media in Emergency Management are high because social medias have become an essential channel for communication from public institutions to citizens. On the one hand, the use of social medias is growing within public institutions. On the other hand, states face the problem of regulating the activities of GAFAM + (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft + Twitter) within their own territories. What does crisis management reveal about the interactions between information flows and territory? The first part of this article shows how geographic information flows have diversified following the evolution of practices on the Internet. The second part analyses how this information is mobilized in the field of territorialized crisis management. The third part explores the issues related to the use of social medias by the actors of territorial management. The Author proposes to organize these issues and their different approaches in an analysis framework: Territory 2.0.
