The red muds and dusts released by the production of specialty alumina from Altéo-Gardanne (southeast France) has been the subject of numerous mobilizations since 2014. They follow the positive and conditional advice given by the young Calanques National Park to continue discharging bauxite into its marine core area. This paper proposes an analysis of these mobilizations, based on a sociological survey (2015-19) conducted among their main stakeholders : the collective for the Calanques protection, fishermen, ecological collective, or Altéo-Gardanne and Mange-Garri landfill residents' organizations. The analysis of their discourses makes possible to identify several problem definitions or "framing", which reflect different experiences of environmental and health damage, and divergent world views (including about technology). Furthermore, these discourses borrow from registers related to Environmental Justice, without explicitly referring to it. The parallel with the US founding mobilizations of this wide movement contributes to question the dynamics of the anti-discharges of bauxite front, the diversity of its participants and resources, as well as the main elements that curtail or, rather, foster the convergence of the "land" cause and the "sea" cause.

To correct the “errors” in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea: this was the slogan of the authors when recounting their first diving explorations in the 1950s. However, the promotion of a neutral scientific discourse, purged of the improbabilities associated with Jules Verne's novel, runs up against the inevitable recourse to language and literary effects to express the euphoria of the ocean depths and the metamorphosis of the diver. Inspired by Plongées sans câbles (Diving without Cables) (1954) by Philippe Tailliez as well as L'aventure sous-marine (The Undersea Adventure) (1951) and Les portes de la mer (The Gates of the Sea) (1953) by Philippe Diolé, among others, this article begins by analyzing the way the water's surface symbolizes a hermetic border sealing off a mysterious and inexhaustible ocean. It next examines the violent political relationship expressed through a set of hyperboles promoting the conquest of the sea not only in these accounts published over sixty years ago, but also in contemporary discourse on the ocean.

ABSTRACTUsing multivariate analysis, five orthogonal principal components were calculated from two charts (surface pressure and 500 mb) over a one year period for Québec Cartographic representation of these factors brings to light the effects of scale, 500 mb circulation patterns, and modifications of high-level flow associated with thermal influences of the surface.
