The Ariege ‘Refuge’: Advantage and Diversity of a Host Topography by William Berthomière, Christophe Imbert

“…Drawing on the life histories of refugee activists in the French department of Ariège, we reveal a complex territoriality that, depending on the spaces considered, produces singular and distinct forms of mobilisation, inherited from past migratory experiences, the engagement of neo-rurals and the social networks linking mountains, valleys, piedmont towns and the Toulouse conurbation. We highlight the uniqueness of the Ariège ‘refuge’, where mechanisms of migration control are relativised through a distancing enabled by both the topography and the social space of exile activism.…”

La difficile « sortie du nucléaire ». Dénonciations écologistes de la gestion des déchets dans un site italien en démantèlement (Saluggia) by Cesare Mattina

“…This contribution focuses more particularly on the rhetoric of critics and denunciation used by local environmental associations concerning the nuclear sector, in general, and the decommissioning at the Saluggia site in Piedmont, in particular. We show that, despite their stated desire to “end with nuclear power” in Italy and free their territories from radioactive waste, these local ecologists remain entangled in a logic of hand-to-hand struggle with the nuclear industry and, of the same time, of dependence vis-à-vis this same industry. …”
