    Global '68 - Solidarity in Alliance and Global History

    1968 was a year of offensives, uprisings, and demonstrations against capitalism and imperialism, for liberation and emancipation and the war in Vietnam was its epicenter. The events claimed many victories for democracy, equality, and emancipation, but also provoked deep, abiding repression. A counterfeit history has subsequently erased police violence and the deaths of participants, removed workers, women, students, and indigenous peoples from the picture, and eliminated anti-Americanism, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, as well as the profound influences of the wars and interventions in Algeria, Latin America, and Vietnam. “Global 68” will retrieve the aspirations, energies, memories, and histories of this worldwide movement and offer hope to a new generation of activists.

    Lecture series - Sociology

    "Joe Public". The social sciences and the idea of the "people"

    Dire le peuple. Entre grandeur et misère, les sciences sociales, comme la littérature, ont oscillé et oscillent toujours pour trouver le bon registre. Entre les deux, difficile de construire la bonne distance. Quelle posture adopter en effet sans tomber dans un populisme de bon aloi bien souvent lyrique, parfois hagiographique, d'un côté, ou dans un misérabilisme condescendant, quand ce n'est pas simplement porté par un regard déficitaire, de l'autre ? Le présent cycle de conférences entend reprendre cet embarras constitutif des sciences sociales et le réinterroger à l'aune des nouvelles catégories du "populaire". Pour ce faire, il s'appuiera sur des contributions provenant d'horizons disciplinaires variés (sociologie, philosophie, histoire, littérature) afin d'éclairer et d'informer le débat dans ses multiples configurations.
