  Southern Nights - interdisciplinarity and Night Studies

  Première approche interdisciplinaire des nuits du Monde

  The night, a long-forgotten dimension of the city, is now at the heart of urban issues in research, city-making and in the development, management, tourism development and governance of cities. Socio-economic studies, strategic approaches and public policies directed at the night are gradually emerging in many countries and on different continents. In research, a new interdisciplinary field is gradually being structured around "night studies" or "night research". The aim of this colloquium is to bring together researchers from different disciplines (geography, planning, art, history, sociology, urban studies, etc.), and artists, and speakers from different countries to discuss approaches for using, creating, inhabiting, living and protecting the nights of the Global South. These reflections and exchanges will enrich the emerging field of Nights Studies.

  Creation at work in ultra-contemporary fiction: literature and cinema

  Conference. Call for papers

  Nous nous proposons de revisiter les fictions ultra contemporaines ayant pour héros un créateur confronté à son travail et voué à la production d’une œuvre inédite. Cette thématique très répandue au XIX^e siècle revient en force en ce début du XXI^e siècle, malgré le discrédit de l’art et de l’artiste du panorama actual et le changement radical de paradigme depuis la Postmodernité. Ainsi, notre volonté est d’interroger la littérature et le cinéma, essentiellement en langues française et espagnole, pour dégager les motivations profondes de ce paradoxal regain d’intérêt.

  Africa and Latin America - transatlantic interactions

  Ce colloque vise à interroger et débattre sur les différentes interactions sociales, historiques, politiques, épistémologiques entre le continent africain et latino-américain. Au cours de ce colloque, il ne s’agira pas seulement de jeter un regard sur le chemin parcouru ni de faire le bilan des recherches effectuées au sein du Centre d’études et de recherches afro-ibéro-américaines (CERAFIA). Mais, il faudra surtout repenser le CERAFIA en dessinant un nouvel avenir et de nouveaux enjeux. Il faudra également renforcer son insertion pluridisciplinaire au sein de la recherche scientifique gabonaise, sans rien lâcher de sa perspective comparatiste et triangulaire entre l’Europe, l’Afrique et l’Amérique latine.

  What kind of development for “the post-crisis city”?

  Des grandes villes dans le monde ont connu des épisodes traumatiques de fortesampleurs, marquant durablement ces espaces et leurs populations. Ces événements, parfois sources de transformations majeures des zones touchées, peuvent également révéler ou se faire le relais de mécanismes de crise plus profonds. À travers quatre axes de discussion (morphologie et composition des nouveaux tissus urbains, fabrication de marges sociospatiales, moteurs et pratiques du développement économique, citadinité et pratiques urabines), le colloque propose d'aborder les conséquences de ces périodes traumatiques sur les dynamiques urbaines, en interrogeant le rôle de la crise et son importance entant que facteur de causalité des évolutions récentes qui marquent ces villes.

  Economic Elites in Developing Countries

  Academic debates on economic elites in “developed” countries are abundant. These theoretical or empirical works study, amongst others, the surge of a transnational capitalist class or the relevance of local dynamics in understanding elite behavior and selection. For their part, studies assessing elites in developing countries tend to uphold the notion that a dominant class exists and that it is able to consolidate its domination by colluding with political strongmen allied to the State and that often, this domination is maintained through a monopoly of the relations with the international economy. However, the political upheavals that recently affected countries in the Arab world as well as those that took place in Latin America in the 1990s, as well as in Eastern Europe and in South-East Asia, call such one-dimensional analyses into question. As this proposal brings to sight, more than a decade ago the combined accumulation of old and new processes led to the emergence, circulation or transformation of existing reproduction modalities in developing countries. Unsurprisingly, these changes caused socio-political disruptions that in turn triggered the renewal of career paths to elite positions, alongside new modalities of international education and State/business collusion mechanisms. We invite applicants to join us in studying these structural yet paradoxical dynamics in order to contribute to a critical understanding of economic elites in different contexts. This workshop is mainly open to empirical research dealing with the analysis of economic elites in developing countries, their resistance to transformations of the international order and, of course, their adaptation to the disruptions of the last twenty years.
