Anthropologists have long been inculcated to employ «methodological atheism» in their study of the exotic religions of other peoples. Such an approach no longer seems appropriate for the kinds of fieldwork being done today. I briefly examine the causes of this «tectonic shift» in anthropology, as well as its consequences for field studies of religion. Following this, I explore the new possibilities that are opening up with the emergence of what certain authors call «post-secular» anthropology, among them, a new dialogue with theology.

Nous construisons un modèle dépendant du temps, en géométrie tridimensionnelle sphérique, de la convection dans un manteau compressible et dissipatif qui est compatible avec la dynamique de l'écoulement mantellique instantané basé sur la tomographie sismique. Nous réalisons cet objectif à l'aide d'une méthode numérique pseudo-spectrale actualisée et révisée. En résolvant le problème direct de la convection thermique dans le manteau, nous obtenons une gamme réaliste de flux de chaleur à la surface de la Terre, variant de 37 TW pour une surface rigide à 44 TW pour une surface avec plaques tectoniques couplés à l'écoulement mantellique. De plus, nos modèles de convection prédisent des flux de chaleur à la frontière noyau-manteau (CMB) qui se trouvent à la limite supérieure des valeurs estimées précédemment, à savoir …

Small island developing states (SIDS) have collectively become a key actor in global climate negotiations, through the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). In order to represent their regional interests within AOSIS, the Pacific and Caribbean SIDS collaborate regionally. Such a regional approach does not exist in the Indian Ocean. How can we make sense of this non-coordination in the Indian Ocean? We address this question by studying four elements of coalition formation: the need for a collective approach; shared interests; a common identity; and the costs of coordination. Our analysis highlights the large diversity within the Indian Ocean and the lack of a common identity, but also and importantly the lack of a suitable regional organisation that could facilitate regional coordination within the climate negotiations.

The municipality of Diembéring concentrates different accommodation structures on its coastline that face the threats of coastal erosion. Faced with this current problem, this contribution aims to analyze the impact of coastal erosion on seaside tourism. This study is based on a cartographic approach that has made it possible to calculate the rates of variation of the coastline, to analyze the level of exposure of accommodation structures. The results obtained show that coastal erosion has become a serious threat with the pronounced reduction between 1979-2022 of the beach of -511,9 ha, of the coastal vegetation of -670.8 ha and above all 12% of the hotel infrastructure which is less than 50 meters from the coastline. At the Hotel Bar de la Mer, some bases of the buildings are nowadays undermined by the waves. At this rate, the largest hotels may be invaded despite the efforts made. The threat is also noted at the Hibiscus de Cabrousse hotel despite the considerable resources they deploy to counter the waters. Faced with these constraints, adaptation strategies are adopted, but despite this, coastal erosion continues to be a major problem. As a result, actors consider them ineffective.

Starting from multidisciplinary punctual results, the authors offer a synthesis of lithologie seismic analysis, sedimentology, palynology and radiometrical measurements from sites in sea and at the border of the Golfe du Lion. The dated samples (more than 120) and the variety of the studied sites has permitted a true methodological approach. The authors also propose a curve of the rising of the Holocene sea that takes into account two major facts: the géomorphologie localisation of the site and the characteristics of the sedimentary environment (sedimentary facies and paleobotanic environment). They conclude to: 1) a generalised rapid rise of the transgression since 14,000 years BP, with an acceleration from 8000 to 6000 years BP; 2) intervals of relative stability from 12 000 to 8 000 years BP; 3) a high sea-level at +2 m at around 4500 years BP.
