Ce numéro explore la notion de sacré conjointement à travers une perspective géographique et à partir des cultures et épistémologies autochtones.  Les contributions sont issues de recherches au Burkina Faso, au Canada, au Chili et en Mongolie, et mettent en lumière des caractéristiques communes. Autant dans ses dimensions matérielles qu’immatérielles, le sacré est pour les Peuples autochtones une disposition et un phénomène spatial englobants. Les représentations de la nature sont partie prenante de cette approche et encore davantage face à la crise environnementale. Mais, loin d’être une réalité atemporelle, les déclinaisons du sacré analysées ici révèlent plutôt qu’il est évolutif et socialement construit. Il demeure que les Peuples autochtones continuent de mobiliser la valeur sacrée de leurs territoires, construisant une éthique de la responsabilité. Au final, un élément fort se dégage des géographies autochtones du sacré présentées ici : elles relèvent d’une vision holistique, s’attachant non pas à des objets ou des sites délimités dans l’espace, mais plutôt à de vastes étendues et aux relations qu’elles génèrent.  Ainsi, le respect envers l’ensemble des lieux et des relations propres à un environnement humanisé – vu comme une véritable maison, sinon un sanctuaire par ces peuples – est une composante fondamentale du sacré autochtone. L’étude du sacré à partir de ces espaces et ontologies ouvre donc des perspectives prometteuses pour rétablir l’équilibre global entre les sociétés et leurs milieux de vie.

Provincialising Nature: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Politics of the Environment in Latin America offers a timely analysis of some of the crucial challenges, contradictions and promises within current environmental discourses and practices in the region. This book shows both challenging scenarios and original perspectives that have emerged in Latin America in relation to the globally urgent issues of climate change and the environmental crisis. Two interconnected analytical frameworks guide the discussions in the book: the relationship between nature, knowledge and identity and their role in understanding recent and current practices of climate change and environmental policy. The different chapters in this volume contribute to this debate by offering multidisciplinary perspectives on particular aspects of these two frameworks and through a multidirectional outlook that links the local, national, regional and transnational levels of inquiry across a diverse geographical spectrum.1.

Critical book debunks the marketing narrative of Airbnb and similar platforms and analyses the effects of overtourismThis book deconstructs the ‘sharing’ marketing narratives surrounding Airbnb and similar platforms. It provides a conceptual analysis of the ‘sharing economy’ and accommodation sector and furthers the ongoing discussion surrounding Airbnb and the social sustainability of city tourism. The volume analyses the touristification of neighbourhoods in the context of broader economic and ideological shifts, thus bridging the gap between academic and social debate. It presents four different city scenarios of potential future developments and evaluates the effects of different regulatory responses, giving readers an understanding of the forces and factors at work and envisioning the ultimate consequences of current developments. The book will appeal to students and researchers in tourism and hospitality studies, futures studies and urban planning, as well as to policymakers and strategists in the hospitality and tourism sectors.Introduction      Chapter 1.
