“…Another strain of scholarship has highlighted the socioeconomic factors behind the growth of mass tourism following World War II, such as an increase in middle-class revenues and paid vacations from work in the interwar years (Cross 1989a(Cross , 1989bBattilani and Fauri 2009;Segreto et al 2009). Public policy has been identified as a historical factor promoting or enabling new forms of leisure (De Grazia 1981;Bosworth 1997;Bertho-Lavenir 1999;Pattieu 2009;Mckenzie 2003;Bouneau 2007;Walton 2009;Bidet and Devienne 2017). The growing environmental history of tourism (Walton 2011;Mosley 2012;Moranda 2015) has brought into focus the initiative of private investors and the dynamics of land ownership, environmental change, and race between the 19th and the early 20th century (Chiang 2011;Kahrl 2012).…”

Research on the coast has highlighted the role of mass tourism as a driver of littoral urbanization. This article emphasizes the role of public policy by focusing on Languedoc-Roussillon in Mediterranean France. This littoral was the target of a state-driven development initiative known as Mission Racine, which aimed to promote the growth of what was seen as a backward area via the development of seaside tourism. For that purpose, the Mission promoted coordinated interventions including forest management, eradication of mosquitoes, construction of resorts, and transport infrastructure. This large-scale redevelopment significantly reshaped the littoral environment, severely impacted pre-existing forms of coastal activities and launched a new tourism industry. The legacy of the Mission, however, also included innovative land-use planning, which established protected areas and sought to contain urbanization. This case study illustrates the ambiguities of public policies for the coast, which can act alternatively as drivers of development or conservation and at times of both, and therein lies the importance of a contextual analysis of their role.

Give time a break » : enjeux sociaux et territoriaux de la pratique du surf à Pondichery (Inde) "Give time a break": social and territorial issues of sur ng in Pondicherry (India) Anthony G -P Résumé : Cet article propose d'étudier l'émergence de la pratique ludo-sportive du surf en Inde, la manière dont elle s'est diffusée et les recodi cations qu'elle génère à travers le cas de l'espace littoral de Pondichéry et plus spéci quement la plage de Serenity. Le propos vise à analyser les pro ls sociaux, les trajectoires des personnes ressources qui ont contribué à l'émergence du surf, sa diffusion puis son institutionnalisation, a n de mieux appréhender les positions et les prises de position. Au-delà de dresser l'espace social du surf à Pondichéry, il s'agit, à travers cette pratique, de penser les usages, les modalités d'appropriation et les représentations de la plage tout en ouvrant à des questionnements plus larges portant sur la ville et ses transformations, les modes de consommation et leurs changements et le rôle des espaces côtiers dans la dynamique urbaine.
