  Precarity among the youth of Mayotte - an approach to children in danger

  Une approche de l’enfance en danger

  Mayotte est le plus jeune département de France avec un habitant sur deux âgé de moins de 18 ans. Le maintien d’une forte fécondité et d’un important taux d’immigration sont des facteurs à l’origine de cet état de fait, contribuant à dessiner les contours d’une jeunesse spécifique. Entre difficultés et complexités de prise en charge et problématiques d’insertion, les jeunes reflètent aussi les contours d’une société en profonde mutation. Les exclusions dont ils sont victimes, souvent en chaîne, symbolisent cette insécurité sociale.

  Diasporas, charity and the construction of belonging

  A connected history of practices of ‘goodwill’ in Egypt during the imperial age (19th–20th centuries)

  Egypt was a space of circulation in the 19th and 20th centuries; a pole of attraction for migrants from Europe and around the Mediterranean. Numerous individuals from Ottoman provinces choose it as a place of exile. Greeks, Italians and Maltese, to name the most numerous groups, swelled the ranks of populations of European origin, which was chiefly concentrated in urban centres. Numerous institutions and charities were created to support these mobile populations. A space of rivalry between different actors (consulates, associations, missionaries, philanthropists, etc), charity in the context of diaspora/diasporic communities/groups has not been sufficiently studied. Inspired by recent works in connected history, this workshop aims to approach charity from a relational perspective, through a comparison of the discourses on and the practices of ‘goodwill’ implemented by different groups.
