The current state of anarchist thinking in geography
En 2014, le Réseau des géographes libertaires (RGL) proposait une définition, non arrêtée, d’une perspective anarchiste en géographie : « Une perspective anarchiste en géographie analyse, et dénonce, les formes spatiales du pouvoir, que celles-ci soient particulièrement coercitives et visibles, ou faiblement. Elle interroge les espaces où se déroulent actuellement les résistances à ce pouvoir. Elle réfléchit sur les modes géographiques d’organisation qui permettent de substituer au pouvoir (autoritaire) une puissance — ou une capacité — libertaire. Dans le prolongement des réflexions menées par le RGL, l’objectif de ce numéro est de tendre collectivement à la définition et au recensement des pratiques, toujours en construction, d’une géographie libertaire ou anarchiste, qui rende compte de sa richesse et de sa diversité comme garantie d’évitement du dogmatisme théorique.

Writing the native country - the literature of proximity in the European French-speaking space
The literature of proximity in the European French-speaking space (1880-1980)
Ce colloque vise à définir, nommer et mieux comprendre les pratiques littéraires présentant une inscription spatiale et/ou une proximité sociale entre un auteur et ses contemporains. Sans se limiter à l’étude de genres précis (roman, théâtre, poésie, presse…), il s’agira de chercher à comprendre les enjeux littéraires et sociaux que ces pratiques littéraires du proche impliquent.

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders
2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

Northernness: concepts, representations, images
Ce colloque s’intéressera aux représentations du Nord dans la littérature et les arts européens. Il s’agira de comparer ces représentations chez les artistes et auteurs nordiques, mais aussi les autres Européens, et ainsi tenter de mieux cerner les différents concepts et modèles de nordicité. On s’interrogera sur les caractéristiques du concept pluriel de nordicité et sur la possibilité d’en retracer la généalogie, on s’intéressera aussi bien aux différents modèles de nordicité qui émergent au XIXe siècle qu’à leur évolution et leur transformation au cours des XXe et XXIe siècles.

The birth of military cinemas (1914-1930)
À l'occasion du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale, ce colloque a pour but d'analyser la naissance des services cinématographiques militaires qui éclosent dans le monde au tournant des années 1914-1918. Il s'agira de travailler davantage sur la genèse et l’évolution des structures spécialisées dans la production d'images animées au profit des armées et des États que sur les productions et leurs contenus.

Labels in the field of cultural and natural heritage
Created in the 60s, the label's use for cultural and natural heritage has increased dramatically for several years, specially in France. Inherited from the marketing and trade world, the use of labels for cultural and natural heritage illustrates the expansion of heritage's conception to new artefacts and new cultural properties, in an anthropological meaning. Some recent studies on the cultural and natural heritage labels insist on the economic benefits for development of territories. But the legal and institutional dimensions of labels in heritage have been ignored. The goal of the symposium is to define and precise the purposes and the caracteristics of labels in the field of heritage.

Central Africa: ressources and armed conflicts
Cahiers d’Outre-Mer journal
This issue of Cahiers d’Outre-Mer will explore the mutual impacts of resources and armed conflicts in CAR from a political point of view. Neither the resources nor their greater or lesser availability constitute, by itself, a sufficient condition to explain the outbreak or continuation of conflicts. Resources, because they impact the balance of powers, are an aspect of armed conflicts, which can be defined as antagonisms between social groups using weapons to prevail over each other. This issue aims at identifying mutual impacts of conflicts and resources in CAR with three possible lines of inquiry: Resources and trajectories of political organizations ; Uses of resources and conflict ; Reconfigurations of resources within conflicts.

The making of cultural policies
Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization
This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

A centre for social communication: the archives of the planet (1919-1931)
Chronicles and action of a visionary political photographic and cinematic undertaking
Suite à la journée d'études « L'œuvre humaniste et sociale des archives de la planète d'Albert Kahn (1919-1931) : pratiques et perspectives d'une documentation visuelle au service du monde » du 24 janvier 2014 dernier ; ce colloque souhaite réunir des contributeurs en sciences humaines (historiens du cinéma, de l'art, de la photographie, historiens, géographes, anthropologues, etc.) afin d'identifier et de questionner les assises communes des oeuvres d'Albert Kahn et ses approches visant au partage des connaissances du monde ainsi qu'à la communication sociale par le truchement de la photographie et du cinéma. Soit comment les productions visuelles d'Albert Kahn tentèrent de modifier les représentations, mais aussi les idées et les comportements afin de renforcer les solidarités.

Revue Belgeo
This special issue of Belgeo is dedicated to the relations between art and space (publication planned for autumn 2014). We suggest three main directions for articles: the first one aims to collect epistemological reflections concerning the development of a geography of art(s), to understand its specificities and contributions. The other two consider artistic spatialities with two complementary approaches, related to the localisation and the spatial dynamics of individuals and artistic phenomena. This call for papers is aimed at researchers of different fields interested in the spatial dimensions of artistic phenomena.

Ideas in movement: the role of conflict and commerce in the history of navigation
Following successful meetings in 2010 and 2012, Royal Museums Greenwich and the Royal Institute of Navigation are planning a third symposium to bring together current research in the history of navigation. 2014 sees the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. While this conflict provided a powerful stimulus for research and development in navigation, technological developments have also sprung from users and from commercial imperatives.

Foreign Language Film Conference V
Submissions are invited for the fifth Foreign Language Film Conference, on the theme of Rights and Representations. In this historic setting of the American South, and in conjunction with Birmingham's 50th anniversary remembrance of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing, FLFC celebrates civil and human rights. Scholars will consider the question of civil rights in international cinematic traditions. How does film as an art and a genre represent civil rights, and human rights? What are the places of rebellion, terrorism, or non-violent resistance in forging individual freedoms, and how is this reflected in national cinematic traditions? How do international films address issues of discrimination, violence, repression, the struggle for social equality ? On the pedagogical side of the question, how do films about civil rights teach their viewers about international cultural and political traditions and movements ? How are these films incorporated into classroom discussions of global civil rights ? -
