Studying long-term storage as material visions of the future
Long-term storage is a phenomenon that has not been theoretically defined and systematically studied. We argue that long-term storage can be construed as an object of investigation that covers a range of instantiations which can be empirically examined. Study of long-term storage with perspectives based in science and technology studies (STS) can provide new knowledge about visions of the future prevalent in contemporary Western societies. To out…
Une approche multirisque aide-t-elle à comprendre les réseaux urbains ? Réflexions sur des dynamiques enchevêtrées à partir de deux agglomérations françaises et une métropole turque
La pandémie mondiale de la Covid-19 a agi comme un puissant démonstrateur du rôle central des réseaux dans les catastrophes, à la fois comme vecteurs de diffusion de la crise, et comme supports de mesures de prévention. Cet article propose une réflexion qui articule réseaux urbains et approche combinée des risques (que l’on peut synthétiser par approches multirisques). Il vise en particulier à examiner les interrelations entre dynamiques de risqu…
Le couple anticipation/décision aux prises avec l’exceptionnel, l’imprévu et l’incertitude
L’anticipation et la prise de décision en situation de crise font l’objet de nombreuses études qui mettent en avant la polysémie de ces notions ainsi que les difficultés régulièrement rencontrés lors de leur mise en œuvre (contexte d’incertitude, format et circulation de l’information, perceptions différentes de la situation entre les acteurs et les échelles géographiques, etc.). À travers deux études de cas situées pendant la crise Irma-José-Mar…
Les métamorphoses des infrastructures, entre béton et numérique
Les infrastructures sont partout. Comme leur nom l’indique, elles supportent nos vies quotidiennes, ce sont des ponts, des aéroports, des réseaux d’eau ou d’électricité, mais aussi des câbles sous-marins et des fermes de serveurs informatiques. Alors que l’on constate, en général, un clivage prononcé entre les chercheurs qui s’intéressent aux nouvelles infrastructures (autour du numérique) et les « fidèles » des infrastructures liées de prime abo…
Risk, Disaster and Crisis Reduction
In the field of risks and crises, both the access to relevant information and its circulation are seen as crucial factors. Based on a new integrated theoretical model focusing on the stakeholder, the book proposes analysis of information reformulation and circulation in risk environments and crisis situations. Simply circulating the information does not mean that it will be picked up by those who could benefit from it. This has been amply demonst…
Explaining Rapid Transitions in the Practice of Flood Risk Management
This article draws on empirical material to reflect on what drives rapid change in flood risk management practice, reflecting wider interest in the way that scientific practices make risk landscapes and a specific focus on extreme events as drivers of rapid change. Such events are commonly referred to as a form of creative destruction, ones that reveal both the composition of socioenvironmental assemblages and provide a creative opportunity to re…

Entering a Risky Territory
Relying on the fecund interface of three fields-studies in science, risk geography, and knowledge management-this paper notes first that the lack of understanding of the relationships between maps and territory and risks is an unfortunate consequence of the way the mapping impulse has been interpreted during the modernist period. Then, taking into account the advent of digital navigation, the paper discusses a very different interpretation of the…
When flood risk transforms a territory
Drawing on a study of floods in Lully, Geneva, the authors describe the plural dimensions of flood risk and extend the conventional understanding of risk, often limited to mapping a hazard zone and gradation of consequences. They analyse the dynamics of risk beyond the immediate phenomenon, through time and space. They draw on various kinds of knowledge of risk, from those affected by the floods, from locals with expert knowledge and from officia…

Being close to risk. From proximity to connexity
The relationship between urban spaces, associated risk, and the notion of proximity has until now been subject to very little critical examination. It is, however, crucial to conduct a discussion on the subject, especially in view of the latest disasters that have made the headlines (notably in New York and Toulouse in September 2001, in Madrid in March 2004). On the one hand, it is widely understood that the consequences of risk tend to be more …
L'autoroute intelligente au service de la sécurité routière
Cet article se concentre sur les dispositifs de surveillance à distance mis en place pour minimiser les risques routiers sur un tronçon autoroutier urbain. Ces dispositifs, qu’on peut appeler sociotechniques, tentent d’apporter des réponses dans l’ajustement des différents risques qui émergent avec les caractéristiques des espaces concernés. Un des enjeux est notamment de concilier la mobilité des usagers de la route avec une surveillance la moin…
L'incendie créateur de quartier ou comment le risque dynamise le territoire
L'incendie peut-il contribuer à créer un quartier et à jouer un rôle moteur dans la construction urbaine? Cette question prend à rebours la vision habituelle des incendies, une vision catastrophique et destructrice, où l'incendie ne laisse que cendres et débris sur son passage. Si le sinistre lui-même a des conséquences dramatiques, il peut aussi entraîner d'importantes transformations et contribuer à la création de nouvelles unités urbaines. Cep…
CCTV, Risk Management and Regulation Mechanisms in Publicly-Used Places
This paper focuses on the relations between different types of actors involved in both conceiving and using video-surveillance systems. More specifically, it deals with the reasons that support the growing use of video-surveillance systems, and the organisation structures and implementation schemes that are designed to cope with them. The analysis raises issues linked to the complexity of social and spatial relations that CCTV tends to produce. B…
Risques naturels et croissance urbaine
Theoretical reflection on the Nature and Role of Hazards in the Urban Environment. The theory developed here questions the relevance of disassociating natural risks from other urban hazards. Not only do many examples show recurrences in the localisation of risks affecting the urban environment (natural, social, technological, etc) they also show that risks should be considered a phenomenon which a society itself identifies on the basis of values …
