Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

Continuous over-fishing has caused a decline in fish stocks worldwide and has led to conflicts over the still existing scarce resources (Bavinck, Maarten, Lorenzo Pelligrini and Eric Mostert, 2014). Studies claim that the decline of fish stocks is increasing and that urgent action is needed (Akyeampong, 2007; OECD, 2008). Most research predicts that the impacts of climate change on fish catches will generate negative outcomes for the livelihoods of fishermen (although these studies often focus on marine fisheries and coastal erosion) (Binet et al, 2012). Comparatively little is known about the conditions of artisanal inland fisheries in Africa with regard to climate change and current adaptation outcomes. Inland fisheries refer to riverine and lacustrine wetlands in dry lands, including natural water courses and man-made reservoirs, such as reservoirs and floodplains. They also include fish farming. The Special Issue will assemble empirical case studies from Africa that link climate change adaptation policies, the impact of large dam projects and agricultural expansion, transregional migration, and the livelihood of fishermen, across different scales.

Contributions in the following directions are welcomed:

1. Local institutional contexts for governance of fish products in inland fisheries
2. Inland fisheries, changes in the ecosystem, and transformability
3. Networks of inland migrant fishers, fish markets, and seasonal fluctuations
4. Uses of LEK – Local Ecological Knowledge – and TEK – Traditional Ecological Knowledge as coping strategies or adaptation in inland fisheries
5. Small scale inland fisheries and the problem of fit
6. Vulnerable inland fishers, disturbance, and brokerage in transition networks
7. Dynamics of socio-ecological changes in inland fisheries
8. Impacts of Ecostate and policy diversity in inland fisheries

All other topics related to climate change and inland fisheries are welcomed and can range from comparisons between multi-sited contexts to those concerning complex spaces/territories. Comparisons between sea and inland fisheries are also encouraged if they account for adaptive capacity, transformability, conflicts and changes, and shifts in the distribution/consumption and productivities of fisheries.

Final Call for Papers: Security, Control and Surveillance in the Latin American City

Call for papers for the journal "Urbe: a Critical Perspective on Urban
Studies"
Special Section: "Security, Control, and Surveillance in the Latin American
City"

Latin American cities are becoming increasingly monitored. The most evident
example is the increase in CCTV cameras, both public and private. With the
spread of surveillance cameras throughout the urban environment it is
becoming nearly impossible for an individual to avoid being digitally
recorded while taking a walk along the streets. Surveillance, however, goes
far beyond that, as it includes a set of many different technologies and
practices. In addition to CCTV, we can cite the appearance of innumerous
technologies like mobile and wearable devices (smartphones, digital
cameras, Google Glasses), drones, biometric tools, identification cards,
etc.

In Latin America, the main reason for installing such technologies is an
increase in urban violence or, at least, a growing fear of urban violence.
Security seems to be the driving force behind the intensification of the
use of surveillance technologies. There are cases, however, where it is
hard to tell apart fear of violence and fear of the ?other? (the poor, the
marginalized). Surveillance technologies are then used not only to protect
but also to segregate.

Although ?surveillance studies? is already an established research domain
in Europe and North America, in Latin America it is still developing.
Changes came after the creation of the Latin American Network of
Surveillance, Technology and Society Studies (LAVITS), of which the two
guest editors of this special issue are members (www.lavits.org
<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lavits.org%2F&h=iAQEFyY2m&s=1>).
Founded in 2009, the LAVITS research network aims to become a platform for
discussion, exchange of knowledge, and debate around the sociotechnical
circumstances that enable capturing, storing, managing, and cross-checking
digital information.

One of the challenges faced by researchers who want to study surveillance
in Latin America is to identify the particularities of that continent in
comparison to the way surveillance is carried out on other continents. For
instance, fear of terrorism is not as present in Latin America as on other
continents. On the other hand, more than half of Latin American countries
experienced military dictatorships in the last century and this has
certainly influenced the way surveillance and security are perceived and
promoted in these countries.
This call for papers wants to address not only scholars with a focus on
Latin America, but also those who tackle the idea of surveillance through a
spatial and territorial approach.

We welcome submissions that articulate the ideas of security, surveillance,
control and the urban in Latin American cities. We particularly encourage
papers on, yet not limited to, the following themes:

? CCTV and Smart CCTV;
? The security and surveillance of mega-events taking place in Latin
America;
? Control of dissent (demonstrations, public protests, etc.);
? Urban policing and the use of technologies of information for monitoring
and control in
public spaces;
? Resistance to surveillance (e.g. through the use of art);
? Smart cities, big data and integrated security centers;
? Urban planning and surveillance
? Urban law and data protection;
? Social media and the city;
? Mobile Surveillance: GPS devices, smartphones, RFID tags, wearable
devices, drones;
? International comparative studies of security and surveillance in Latin
America cities;
? The military history of Latin American cities and its relationship with
surveillance and
security today;
? Theoretical contributions of Latin American authors to the study of
surveillance, control,
and security in the Latin American city;

Appel à propositions – Union Européenne, Amérique latine et Caraïbes : Soutien à la coordination de programmes ou d’infrastructures de recherche et d’innovation

Le projet ERANet-LAC vise à intensifier la coopération bi-régionale en recherche et innovation entre les acteurs de l’Union Européenne (UE) et ceux d’Amérique Latine & des Caraïbes (ALC). Ce projet est financé par le 7ème PCRDT de l’Union Européenne.

Un premier appel à propositions a été lancé le 4 juin 2014 pour des PILOT COORDINATION ACTIONS (PCA). Cet appel vise à promouvoir l’ouverture et la coordination de programmes ou d’infrastructures à échelle birégionale UE/ALC en vue d’établir des objectifs communs et de coordonner leurs agendas stratégiques.
L’appel cible les managers de programmes et d’infrastructures sans priorité thématique (recherche, innovation, renforcement de capacités, infrastructures). Les partenaires définiront leurs propres priorités en fonction des activités coordonnées. Ce partenariat devra être constitué d’un minimum de deux partenaires de la région ALC et deux partenaires de l’UE.

15.000 € seront alloués à chaque projet retenu pour l’organisation des réunions de concertation entre partenaires en vue de réaliser un plan de faisabilité vers une coopération durable entre programmes ou infrastructures.

Quelques bonnes raisons de participer à cet appel :

• Donner une dimension internationale à un programme national ;
• Offrir davantage d’opportunités aux chercheurs UE et ALC ;
• Renforcer l’impact des activités menées à un niveau birégional ;
• Atteindre une masse critique dans un certain domaine de R&I ;
• Intégrer de nouvelles activités de recherche, mobilité de renforcement de capacités à un programme existant ;
• Coordonner les agendas dans un certain domaine de R&I ;
• Jumeler des programmes ou infrastructures.

Date limite de dépôt : 1er octobre 2014, 17h (heure de Bruxelles)
