Religion and gender in Latin America

Theoretical and methodological perspectives for research

This dossier invites researchers to submit papers discussing the theoretical and methodological challenges and limits facing new research questions in order to address the interfaces between religion and gender in Latin American countries in light of changes in the social and religious field in recent decades. We welcome works produced from different areas of knowledge in the social and human sciences, as well as areas and studies at the intersection of these issues. We set out to encourage reflection on the ethical challenges faced by researchers regarding the new theoretical and methodological models used in our region and beyond.

Amazigh-Berber cinema and other medias

L'équipe de recherche LACNAD lance un appel à communication pour une journée d'études intitulée « Le cinéma amazigh-berbère et les autres médias » qui se tiendra en ligne le mardi 30 mars 2021. Cette journée d’étude se propose d’explorer le rapport entre le cinéma amazigh et les autres médias, comme l’oralité, l’écriture et notamment la télévision et Internet. Les questions à poser sont, entre autres : quelle a été l’influence des autres médias, au niveau de la technique et du sujet des films amazighs ? L’intertextualité médiatique, par exemple, joue-t-elle un rôle dans l’émergence de nouveau thèmes et genres, venant s’ajouter récemment aux films amazighs du type épique et rural ?

Heritages values of 20th century architecture: what recognition?

Critical review and international forward-looking vision

The heritage values of 20th century architecture, whether they be cultural, social or technical, remain relatively complex to assess, and thus to share, due to lack of perspective and knowledge. The architectural and urban production of the second half of the 20th century was particularly prolific, sometimes remarkable, even exceptional. The energy, ecological transition, the changing habits and lifestyles are leading to the gradual transformation of this built heritage reaching to the end of its life cycle. Since the 1990-2000’s, a movement for heritage making has developed, which leads to many questions relating to possible and desirable developments of these architectural achievements. This issue of In Situ seeks to take a European or international critical perspective on the architecture of the 20th century and to highlight doctrines and positions adopted, practices and examples of schemes, policies or projects.

Power(s) in Palestine

Over the past two decades a great deal of research on the question of Palestine has pointed to a fragmentation of the Palestinian political landscape, divisions exacerbated by the Oslo Accords. The ensuing establishment of the Palestinian Authority (PA), in particular, fostered the emergence of new political dynamics and new sources of power and legitimacy, embodied in the conflict between Fatah and Hamas that has dominated Palestinian politics since 2007. The creation of the PA also encouraged a process of capital accumulation and a restructuring of social classes after 1993. Moreover, the dispersion of Palestinians across the world, the superposition of national and international legal realities and the diversity of actors in the conflict have contributed to the multiplication of sources and resources of power. This complex set of factors has prompted questions regarding new sources, mechanisms and flows of power in Palestine, as well as resultant dynamics.

Limits of humanity, machines without limits?

The contemporary and robotic scene: exchanges and collaborations

Il convient de constater qu’aujourd’hui de nombreux artistes introduisent des solutions robotiques dans leurs créations et interrogent ainsi plusieurs visions esthétiques et concepts trans- et posthumanistes. La scène du XXI^e siècle semble être à la pointe des développements actuels de la robotique, comme l’indique le nombre croissant des nouvelles productions dans ce domaine. Pour les roboticiens, cela se traduit par le développement de comportements sociocognitifs cohérents qui produisent chez les spectateurs une illusion de vie, un sentiment d'être en présence de créatures intelligentes et socialement conscientes. Dans les mêmes termes, la scène peut être considérée comme un espace privilégié pour l'étude des comportements humains, où différentes technologies peuvent être déployées pour capturer et modéliser les contingences sensorimotrices humaines. En conséquence, la scène devient un scénario semi-structuré idéal pour le développement de métriques, modèles, techniques et algorithmes capables de décrire l'interaction entre les humains et entre les humains et les robots socialement intelligents.

Censorship and blind spots: the BBC’s silences

The BBC's reputation for impartiality and independence is one of the cornerstones of its value system, which also underpins its self-declared mission to "inform, educate, and entertain". However, these values have constantly been redefined as several forms of censorship and self-censorship have been applied in the context of conflict with political or economic powers. This means that the role and independence of the BBC as a public service needs to be questioned and the grey areas and silences of the BBC from its creation in 1922 to the beginning of its digital era in 1995 need to be the objects of inquiry.

LGBTQIA+ sexualities: subjectivities, movements, languages

LGBTQIA+ studies for contemporary history, having produced a vast amount of researches, are still questioning history and historiography: how can LGBTQIA+ history be written? Does it merely overlap with the history of LGBTQIA+ subjectivities or does it exceed the boundaries of the LGBTQIA+ community? Does it challenge the historical imagination in terms of sources, archives, political and disciplinary boundaries, gender categories? Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea is looking for contributions aimed at investigating these issues.

Narrating violence: Making race, making difference

In collaboration with The George and Irina Schaeffer Center for the Study of Genocide, Human Rights, and Conflict Prevention at the American University of Paris, University of Turku invites scholars, students, practitioners, and activists from all fields to take part in the Winter symposium of the Nordic Summer University Study Circle Narrative and Violence. This symposium will explore questions on the production, practice, and instrumentalization of violent narratives about racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual, and political minorities and groups. While multiple theoretical perspectives will be included in both locations, the symposium will have a broader international focus at the American University of Paris and will facilitate discussions primarily pertaining to the Nordic and Baltic sphere at the University of Turku.

Graphics of territories / Territories of graphics

Le dessin contemporain s’émancipe du point, de la ligne, du plan pour prendre corps dans une nouvelle écologie de l’image. Du tracé de contour à l’intention - dans le sillage des acceptions du disegno de la Renaissance - il entraîne avec lui des représentations inédites du monde, de son exploitation et de ses possibles. En se désolidarisant du papier, il s’envisage sur de nouveaux territoires. De l’esquisse préparatoire aux installations graphiques, le terreau du dessin, son ancrage ne se réduisent plus à un support plat. Le tracé s’émancipe de la bidimensionnalité du subjectile qui lui est communément associée, pour se déployer dans de nouvelles dimensions, sur de nouveaux supports, par de nouvelles gestualités. Le dessin de l’espace et l’espace du dessin ouvrent ainsi à une réflexion sur les territoires physiques comme les territoires sensibles. Il engage de même une pensée du faire directement liée aux innovations technologiques, techniques, numériques, comme au déterminisme imposé à la ligne par une grammaire propre aux territoires et à la cartographie.

Book studies in the 19th century: student work in progress

La culture numérique a profondément bouleversé, notamment depuis les années 2000, le monde du livre. Les pratiques actuelles de création, d’édition et de lecture se reconfigurent en partie autour de nouveaux formats et supports du livre et de la littérature : livres « enrichis » ou « augmentés », livres numériques, livres audio, applications interactives pour appareils mobiles, hypertextes navigables sur le web. Dans ce processus de métamorphose, l’idée du « livre » – qu’il soit imprimé, numérique ou hybride, « homothétique » ou nativement numérique – occupe toujours une place essentielle, mais penser ses formes, sa production, sa diffusion, son positionnement au sein de la culture ne peut désormais faire l’économie d’une réflexion sur les conséquences de l’entrée dans l’ère numérique. Les études sur l’édition, le livre et son histoire doivent ainsi prendre acte de ces bouleversements, qui appellent – c’est le constat motivant cette journée scientifique – la définition d’un nouveau champ d’étude, interrogeant spécifiquement le livre – ou les livres – du XXI^e siècle.

Fakery and truth in art

En posant, la question des impostures et des vérités en art(s) à partir d’œuvres singulières, il s’agit de s’interroger lors du colloque, sur la manière dont chaque artiste s’arrange ou dérange la « société de l’imposture » en proposant des formes de création inédites, en ayant par exemple recours dans leurs fictions : au plagiat, à la tromperie, au faux dans les productions proposées à leurs publics, pour transgresser de manière critique les impostures présentes dans l’ordinaire de nos vies.

Logics, stakes and limits of cultural heritage transmission in Eurasia

The thematic issue is about cultural heritage and patrimonialization. It aims at comparing the varying notions of “tradition” and “safeguarding of culture” within an empirical approach.We focus on conflicts about the creation of culture and how these globalised and specific contexts shape a changing self-perception of “ethnic identity” in Northern Asia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.The articles may be on local as well as global expressions of cultural heritage: poetical genre, engraving or wood carving, architecture, ethno-parks or ecomuseums, cultural tourism, opposition to projects of valorization, etc. Analysis may also focus on the role of actors involved in local projects, on historical contexts or on international fashions.

‘Poetic translations’: Conversations across the plurality of Arts disciplines in Visual Arts Exhibitions

A clear distinction between art and other exhibitions characterised the growth of large exhibitions in the nineteenth century. While art exhibitions were staged within a narrowly defined context of European painting and sculpture, all else was displayed within two broader contexts: specific academic disciplines (natural history, history, anthropology, design and industry, book fairs), and/or trade exhibitions. Since at least the mid-twentieth century, this distinction between art and other exhibitions has become blurred. References to the natural sciences, history, theatre, music, dance or literature have been incorporated into art exhibitions, while historical museums have exhibited art works, commissioned art interventions and utilised contemporary curatorial practices. The British museum, for example, hosts ‘permanent’ exhibits of contemporary art works in its collection, as do many other museums.
