Version française

Le GIS Climat-Environnement-Société organise, dans le cadre du projet ENVIGLOB, une conférence internationale intitulée "Images environnementales globales : nouvelles perspectives" qui se tiendra à Paris-Meudon les 9 et 10 octobre 2014.

Résumé
La conférence internationale propose de mobiliser une grande variété de perspectives venant d’un large spectre disciplinaire afin d’analyser les stratégies et les imaginaires liés à la production, la circulation et le pouvoir des images environnementales globales. Des icônes du mouvement environnementaliste en passant par les graphiques d’expert mobilisés par le GIEC jusqu’à l’imagerie satellitaire, les images environnementales globales forment la base sensorielle des processus planétaires qui gouvernent l’« Anthropocène ». Les images participent toutes activement, à des échelles très diverses, à notre interprétation et à notre compréhension aussi bien des changements du système Terre que des conséquences que l’on associe étroitement au changement climatique global. En tant que vrais médiateurs entre différents publics et cultures, entre des processus globaux et des impacts locaux, de nouvelles interrogations sur les images environnementales globales conduisent à une discussion hautement productive des relations complexes entre la science, la société, la politique et la nature.

English version
The GIS Climate-Environment-Society is pleased to invite you to the international conference « New perspectives on global environmental images », organised within the project ENVIGLOB, that will be held on October 9 & 10 2014 in Paris-Meudon, France.

Presentation

The international conference proposes to mobilise a broad variety of perspectives from a large disciplinary spectrum in order to analyse the strategies and imaginaries that are connected to the production, the circulation and the power of global environmental images. From icons of the environmental movement over expert graphics mobilised by the IPCC to satellite imagery, global environmental images form the sensory basis of our understanding of the planetary processes that govern the “Anthropocene”. The images all actively participate, at very different scales, in our interpretation and understanding of the changes of the Earth system as well as the consequences we closely associate to global climate change. As true mediators between different publics and cultures, between global processes and local impacts, new critical enquiries into global environmental images propose a highly fruitful discussion of the complex relationship between science, society, politics and nature.
