It is based on questions relating to the localised analysis of politics and responds to the need, experienced in our own research, to articulate and hold together three dimensions:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tGames and rivalries between social groups in urban spaces\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tPolitical, partisan and institutional battles to govern the city\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tUrban public policies: genealogy, instruments, actors and spatial effects\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<p>To do this, we thought it would be useful, indeed necessary, to have a \u00ablibrary\u00bb, if not a common one, then at least a shared one, by taking the time to read together bodies of scientific texts at this intersection. The principle of the workshop is based on reading and debating these scientific texts - fundamental or emerging - from our multiple perspectives in terms of disciplines, research subjects and themes, and scientific maturity. The Reading and Research Workshop is open to all (young and experienced researchers, MESOPOLHIS researchers and researchers from elsewhere, all interested disciplines) and offers a convivial forum for discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Each year is devoted to a theme and a body of text, coordinated by two researchers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/City-of-Johannesburg-square.png\" alt=\"City-of-Johannesburg\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"800\" width=\"800\" title=\"City-of-Johannesburg\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tOrganisational principles\u00a0\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<blockquote><p>These workshops take the form of work sessions lasting between 2 and 2.5 hours. Two to four texts (articles or chapters) are circulated two weeks before each workshop, combining theoretical, methodological and empirical dimensions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The session begins with a short presentation of the authors and the texts selected by the coordinators, followed by a free discussion of both the texts and the way in which each of us can mobilise their dimensions (theoretical, conceptual, methodological, empirical, etc.) within our own research.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t2025-2026. Institutional activism and the making of the city\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Institutional activism can be broadly defined as \u00abthe action of individuals (bureaucrats and elected representatives) who act from the public institution to which they belong, to bring about change in the name of a cause\u00bb (Abers, 2019). This notion is explored in particular in countries that have experienced revolutionary moments or reformist parentheses (the United States after the civil rights movement, South Africa in the aftermath of the Second World War, etc.).\u2019<em>apartheid<\/em>, It has also been used more widely in certain thematic studies (feminist and environmental struggles within public institutions, diversity policies in companies). But it remains little known in France and has not always been consolidated, or sufficiently compared with more generic work on the city, its production and its government.<\/p>\n<p>By placing the city as the object of research in relation to that of institutional activism, the aim is to analyse the practices of \u00abinstitutional activists\u00bb by grasping the way in which they are produced in and by the urban space, while at the same time helping to produce it. In particular, we seek to link the study of agents' dispositions, positions and trajectories with that of the substantial effects of their practices on the construction and implementation of public policies in the urban space.<\/p>\n<p>This intersection raises two questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do the day-to-day practices of these institutional activists - more or less public or discreet, individual or collective - have to do with the city?<\/li>\n<li>How can the urban object be used to anchor, read and operationalise the concept of institutional activism differently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\t\tProgramme of readings 2025-2026 and practical information\n\t<\/h2>\n<table  data-tablesaw-minimap>\n\t\t\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th id=\"pp-table-col-1\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTheme\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th><th id=\"pp-table-col-2\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSession presentation\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th><th id=\"pp-table-col-3\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDate and place\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th><th id=\"pp-table-col-4\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tText(s)\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th><th id=\"pp-table-col-5\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReport\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th>\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr data-row-index=\"1\"><td>Session 1: Introduction - Presentation of the framework and initial readings on the concept<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Activisme-institutionnel-et-ville_Seance-1_Breve-presentation-des-textes.pdf\"> Brief presentation of the texts to be read <\/a><\/td><td>19 September 2025, 2pm-4.30pm, EPS 104 + visio<\/td><td>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Katzenstein-SOCO_085_0111.pdf\"> Katzenstein <\/a>\n<br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Olsson-Hysing-2012_Theorizing-Inside-Activism-Understanding-Policymaking-and-Policy-Change-from-Below.pdf\"> Olsson &amp; Hysing <\/a>\n<br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Verhoeven-Understanding-governmental-activism-2017.pdf\"> Verhoeven &amp; Duyvendak <\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CR-seance1.pdf\">CR 1<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr data-row-index=\"2\"><td>Session 2.
