Thématique Représentations et constructions de l’espace (RCE)
La thématique Représentations et constructions de l’espace est née de l’intérêt commun porté par plusieurs enseignants-chercheurs de la IVe section de l’EPHE à la manière dont l’espace est construit et représenté par les sociétés humaines. Plusieurs initiatives de recherche et d'enseignement en lien avec cette thématique sont développées dans le cadre du Programme Gradué Sciences Historiques.
