  • Differences, commons and rhythms

    Open Access•Vanessa Kaufmann, Yves Pedrazzini et al.•ARTICLE•Articulo – revue de sciences…•2025

    A main challenge facing the city of the future is that of social cohesion between the poor and the rich, generations, genders and lifestyles. In addition to issues of professional opportunities and access to resources in general (housing, shops, services, nature), spatial cohesion is also a key factor that urban sociology can help remedy by proposing new policy, tools, and concepts.In this article, we approach these issues based on the concepts o…

  • Diffurb

    Open Access•Florian Masse, Benjamin Gramsch-Calvo et al.•ARTICLE•Transportation•2025

    DiffUrb is an interdisciplinary research collaboration aiming at describing and understanding how urban differences in terms of diverse population groups are dealt with across five European cities: Geneva, Brussels, Hamburg, Turin, and Zurich. To this end, we developed a three-stage survey to explore and describe experiences of urban dwellers in regard to inclusivity, sense of place, discrimination, mobility behaviors, and social networks. Respon…

  • The Lemanic Panel, a five-year monitoring of populations’ lifestyles—focus on the first wave

    Open Access•Florian Masse, Alexis Gumy et al.•ARTICLE•Transportation•2025

    The urgency of climate change is such that public policies need to be radically reoriented. Clean technologies and digital optimization will go some way toward achieving this. But if we are to achieve the targets set by COP21 as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement, we will also have to engage in a major transformation of our lifestyles. This concerns all spheres of activity, in particular mobility (including the questions of teleworking, business tr…

  • Communication practices with patients using a language other than French

    Open Access•Johann Cailhol, Bouamrane Larbi-Benhadjar et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2025

    Our findings showed the importance of alleviating communication difficulties with patients using a language other than French, in order to achieve health equity, and means to achieve this are discussed

  • Transitivity and couple relationship satisfaction

    Open Access•Guillaume Drevon, Jacques‐antoine Gauthier et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025

    This study examined the relationship between couple relationship satisfaction and the transitivity of ties with family and friends within couples, i.e., the tendency of partners to share friends and family. In this case, transitivity was measured by using three indicators: (1) the proportion of shared friends (friendship network overlap); (2) the frequency of contact that each partner has with their own friends and family as well as those of thei…

  • Data Domotopia

    Open Access•Marc-Edouard Schultheiss, Fiona Del Puppo et al.•ARTICLE•Transportation•2024

    This paper describes the Data Domotopia a 2300 + respondent self-administered web-based survey. It includes 100 + multi-purpose items about home-making and stillness in a moving world. We suppose that home-making can reveal coping strategies and resilience practices to make everyday life work – as home is a central location in people’s activity-travel patterns. To describe this phenomenon, the concept of Domotopia is introduced, defining how peop…

  • Migration distance from birthplace and its association with relative income and employment share among heterosexual couples in Switzerland

    Open Access•G Viry, Guillaume Drevon et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2024•References: 5

    Among heterosexual couples, employment of the female partner may suffer from household migration often driven by the job of the male partner. Most research has traditionally focused on the distance moved after couple formation and has neglected how far partners live from their birthplaces. Recent life course research has shown that staying in, leaving or returning to the place of origin of one or both partners often reflects couples' work–family …

  • The border in common

    Open Access•Guillaume Drevon, Philippe Gerber et al.•ARTICLE•European Urban and Regional Studies•2024•References: 14

    For several decades, cross-border areas have been the setting for the successive deployment of various cross-border cooperation and integration mechanisms. These mechanisms aim primarily to facilitate mobility and interaction between actors through cross-border cooperation projects designed to create institutional cross-border areas. The current article takes an approach centred on attachment to places with the aim of determining whether cross-bo…

  • Can Spatial Proximity to Another Country Drive Short-distance Transnationalism? Evidence from Social Ties in Three European Border Regions

    Open Access•Alexis Gumy, Vanessa Kaufmann et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Borderlands Studies•2024•References: 22

    This article draws inspiration from social network analysis (SNA) to investigate the impact of spatial proximity on the geography of strong social ties in three European border regions. We consider cross-border friendship and kinship as a measure of shortdistance transnationalism, examine the conditions under which the latter is likely to emerge, and systematically compares our findings with "traditional" forms of transnationalism. The study is b…

  • Planning urban proximities

    Open Access•Marc-Edouard Schultheiss, Luca Pattaroni et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2024•References: 59

    Urban proximity planning is foreseen as a solution to foster a “sustainable” city, including economic viability, environmental soundness and social inclusivity. This paper focuses on the inclusivity aspects by questioning the adoption of urban proximities: how far planning for urban proximities resonates or conflicts with current residential preferences and practices? Based on functional, social, and sensitive attributes, five latent residential …

  • Soothing house. How housing does mitigate time pressures

    Open Access•Guillaume Drevon, Marc-Edouard Schultheiss et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2024•References: 42

    For many years, an abundant literature has highlighted the time pressures induced by the more and more intricated and difficult work life balance. As it happens at home, in this paper we explore the hypothesis that housing is a resource to mitigate time pressures. In this perspective, the first contribution of this paper is to quantify the determinants that are often positively correlated with domestic time pressure. The second contribution is to…

  • Spatial Planning as Public Space

    Open Access•Mischa Piraud, Luca Pattaroni et al.•ARTICLE•Swiss Journal of Sociology•2022

    Based on a field survey on the conflicts regarding the extension of the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, this text discusses the production of public space. These controversies make possible an understanding of the production process of peri-urban space in terms of residential aspirations and negotiation mechanisms. This investigation allows us to understand the articulation of the two forms of public space – as publicity and as a set of freely acces…

  • Explore, engage, empower

    Open Access•L Fritz, Ulli Vilsmaier et al.•ARTICLE•Humanities and Social Sciences…•2022

    Action-oriented, transformative, and transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly heralded as promising tools that enable researchers not only to produce new knowledge about a situation, but also to actively engage in tackling it; however, such approaches raise critical questions about the methodological implications and conflicts involved in pursuing multiple objectives concurrently. This article seeks to advance this debate by examining the me…

  • Making the slow metropolis by designing walkability

    Aniss Mezoued, Quentin Letesson et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Research & Practice•2022

    Focusing on the mobility aspects of big cities and metropolises, the paper starts with the assessment that the Slow City is linked, in terms of mobility, to slowing down traffic. This paper proposes the following working hypothesis: if the Slow City concept is relevant for making our bigger cities sustainable, it needs, in terms of mobility, to be adapted to the slowest mode of transportation: walking. To that extent, our research develops atool …

  • TOWARDS GREEN Populism? Right-wing Populism and Metropolization in Switzerland

    Open Access•Ander Audikana, Vanessa Kaufmann et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Urban…•2022•Cited by: 5•References: 42

    Switzerland is an interesting laboratory for studying right-wing populism. Populist movements, notably the Swiss People's Party (SVP), have undergone momentous development over the last few decades based on anti-immigration and anti-European discourses. This transformation has been commonly associated with an ethno-nationalistic reaction against the globalization process and the defense of Swiss economic, political and cultural specificities. Bas…

  • Pour une approche rythmique des modes de vie et de la mobilité

    Guillaume Drevon, Alexis Gumy et al.•ARTICLE•Espaces et sociétés•2021

    Des auteurs de plus en plus nombreux relèvent que les sociétés occidentales contemporaines sont marquées par des rythmes de vie particulièrement complexes (Rosa, 2010). Cette complexité se refléterait à travers les pratiques de mobilité. Pour analyser finement et de façon heuristique cette complexité, nous proposons dans cet article de développer une approche rythmique de la mobilité quotidienne à partir des données du Microrecensement Mobilité e…

  • Analysing the effects of residential mobility behaviours on the composition of personal network in Switzerland

    Open Access•Guillaume Drevon, G Viry et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 17

    Individual life courses are marked by residential mobility often associated with family and workplace changes and therefore likely to be related to the types of personal relationships people develop and maintain. Evidence about the relationship between residential mobility behaviours over the life course and personal network composition is however scarce. This study investigates this relationship among 747 individuals living in Switzerland using …

  • Inequalities in access to cross-border resources? An analysis based on spatio-temporal behaviours in the cross-border area of Greater Geneva

    Open Access•Alexis Gumy, Guillaume Drevon et al.•ARTICLE•European Urban and Regional Studies•2021•Cited by: 3•References: 17

    With an activity-based approach, this article offers a new reading of cross-border integration by exploring the social and spatial conditions that predispose specific populations of Greater Geneva to cross its borders. Five different daily cross-border patterns were identified showing that travelling to the neighbouring country is still uncommon among the least qualified populations and women, and that this trend now extends beyond the mere cross…

  • L’apprenti président

    Vanessa Kaufmann, Vincent Kaufmann•ARTICLE•Pouvoirs•2020

    Cet article examine ce que la « politique » de Donald Trump doit à sa très bonne connaissance des ressorts de l’économie de l’attention, assimilés pendant douze longues années au cours desquelles sa principale activité professionnelle a consisté à animer une émission de téléréalité (« The Apprentice »).

  • The Apprentice President

    Vanessa Kaufmann, Vincent Kaufmann•ARTICLE•Pouvoirs•2020

    This article examines what Donald Trump’s “politics” owe to his excellent knowledge of the drivers of the attention economy, which he assimilated during the twelve long years when he worked mainly as the host of the reality TV show The Apprentice: hence the title “The apprentice president.” It shows how Trump has transformed the White House into the set of a gigantic reality TV show operating according to sacrificial rules; how this has allowed h…

    Nous vivons dans un monde toujours plus saturé. Saturé de signes, de normes, d’objets et de sollicitations qui tous contribuent à nos aliénations quotidiennes. Afin de retrouver les voies d’une émancipation, ce manifeste défend l’idée que la réponse à cette saturation réside dans la capacité à retrouver la maitrise politique de nos rythmes, qu’ils soient individuels ou collectifs. Les auteurs explorent dans ces pages la part fondamentalement spat…

  • Understanding the reconstruction of personal networks through residential migration trajectories

    Open Access•Olga Ganjour, E D Widmer et al.•ARTICLE•MIGRATION LETTERS•2020

    This article examines how residential trajectories influence the spatiality and composition of personal networks. Three mechanisms are considered: the addition of spatially close network members, the selection of spatially distant network members, and the substitution of spatially distant network members by spatially close ones. An ego-centred network analysis combined with sequence analysis of residential experiences is used to capture the perso…

    In modern society, spatial mobility is highly valued with its relationship to individual freedom (freedom to travel anywhere at anytime, freedom to choose one's relationships, freedom of residential location, etc.). Spatial mobility has become so crucial that it has become an established ideology, putting pressure on individuals to expand their mobility and be able to adapt to spatial changes of living and working conditions (delocalisation of jo…

    In this article, we will measure individuals’ and groups’ aptitude for movement and consider them relative to their living environment by developing a typology of motility. This will help highlight both the range and variety of skills for being mobile, and the social and spatial inequalities associated with them. We will address this question based on the panel data from the Job Mobilities and Family Lives research study (hereafter referred to as…

    Is it possible to discern correlations between past and present urban policies? Do path dependencies exist at the urban level? If so, how do they differ from other links between the past and present? A preview of the literature dealing with dependencies and urban change, a presentation of the research methodology and an examination of the historical archives of six European cities in France, Germany and Switzerland enable us to identify three fea…

    John Urry's article Mobile Sociology (2010 [2000a]) proposes a sociological revolution – a revolution the field itself is not yet fully conscious of – heralding the first fruits of the 'mobility turn' for which Urry advocates so strongly. Since its publication in 2000, the article has been the focus of a lively debate, as has his book, Sociology Beyond Societies: Mobilities for the Twenty-First Century, published the same year. Despite such debat…

    Out of the many ingredients that together build urban areas, three deserve particular consideration as their relationship is evolving: the functional centrality, the morphology of built-up areas and the way of life. Those three characteristics do not necessarily match along territorial lines anymore. To overcome this limitation, this article suggests approaching urbanity in terms of cohesion. To illustrate this approach under a specific analytica…

To apprehend the dynamics of the different gentrification processes, we investigate the manner in which changes in the urban environment render it accessible to certain residential aspirations and lifestyles and inaccessible to others. Our findings, based on a combination of a quantitative survey and socio…

    The present article aims at assessing the possibility for urban areas to coordinate local policies of urban development and public transportation and at explaining the differences in this achievement between urban regions. In order to do so, the study draws support from two empirical sources: a historical analysis of the “mass-production” generated by the public service sectors in the field of transport and urban development in the cities of Base…

    Contemporary French literature testifies as a whole to a rhetorical consciousness-or, to be more precise, a nonconsciousness-in the grip of autobiography. Beyond the merely conventional distinction, nothing differentiates it any longer from the novel. And for its part, the novel is subjected, sometimes retrospectively, to the injunction of experience. Take, for example, the case of someone like Robbe-Grillet, who, in the wake of Claude Simon or M…
