  Appel à contribution - Époque contemporaine

  Working all night

  Modernity, night shifts and the temporal organization of labour across political and economic regimes

  Issues we would like contributors to address in the workshop are: How did the temporal organization of labour and the night shift evolve in different places and different times? How has the night shift been perceived and ‘lived’ by workers who have engaged in this activity? Who are, and were, the workers involved in night work? To what extent has the ‘night shift’ been carried out by specific groups and/or categories (such as unskilled workers, women, migrants, etc). To what extent has the night shift been seen as compatible or clashing with with key social, human and labour rights?  How has night work been legitimized, contested, and negotiated by different stakeholders at all levels of the economic hierarchy?  And, what are the threats to well-being of night workers due to lack of regulations to night work (in global cities)?

  Beyond the Revolution in Russia

  Narratives - Spaces – Concepts. A 100 Years since the Event.

  During the conference, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the events in Russia, we would like to consider individual layers of reception, commemoration, and performance of revolutionary thoughts, images, and practices in the area of the Central and Eastern Europe. We would like to render the Russian revolution in its ambiguity between the event itself, medium-term social and economic transformations, and a long-term reconfiguration of the spaces of power and politics.

  Appel à contribution - Études du politique

  Private actors in politics and policy-making

  Trespassers producing norms?

  At a time when a growing literature documents a rising involvement of private actors such as business associations, professional associations, multinational corporations or law firms in the creation of public policy, it seems crucial to study the practices of this involvement, as well as to study the meaning of such developments for the very distinction that social sciences have been making between the private and the public spheres, the private and the public actors. In other words, how do the concrete modalities of this involvement reshape the definition of roles and statuses of private and public actors in politics and policy?
