Crossing borders and Latin America
Nous souhaiterions réfléchir lors de ce colloque sur l’Amérique latine transfrontalière autant du point de vue des échanges et des apports mutuels, littéraires et artistiques, que des enjeux concernant les différents facteurs (culturels, géopolitiques, environnementaux, économiques) ayant une incidence dans la construction-destruction de murs et le contrôle des flux (personnes, capital, marchandises).

Pour ce premier appel à communication, nous nous intéresserons surtout aux « diasporas » provoquées par l’engagisme. L’histoire de l’engagisme, phénomène migratoire de grande ampleur, reste peu étudiée à l’échelle internationale. Pourtant son importance est capitale au regard de l’histoire coloniale européenne et de la construction identitaire des anciens territoires coloniaux, des pays d’origine des engagés (Inde, Chine, Mozambique, Afrique de l’Ouest, etc…), de l’Europe ultra-marine, des Amériques et même de l’Europe continentale. Ce colloque international organisé sous forme de deux ateliers a pour ambition de contribuer à mettre en avant les déplacés eux-mêmes, ou leurs descendants, et d’analyser leur parcours identitaire au prisme d’expériences de vies.

International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present
Since the 70s the presence of migrants in Europe, and especially in Italy, has become a structural issue and has been at the center of the public and political debate. The progressive demolition of welfare systems, the job precariousness, and new consumer lifestyles have generated different responses in terms of regulation of the admissions of foreign citizens in search of a job and their management (housing issues, access to health care, etc.). Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

Decolonization and postcolonial issues of childhood and youth (1945-1980)
While young people played a large role in building colonial empires, they were also an essential concern in decolonization. Indeed, the emancipation process of colonized peoples in the second half of the twentieth century raised with great force the social and political issue of children and young people in the colonial and post-colonial context, both in newly-independent and ex-colonizing countries. In a complex set of political and diplomatic, economic and social, demographic and populationist, philosophical and religious questions, colonial and post-colonial issues surrounding children and young people gave rise to specific biopolitics. Children and young people were subjects of policies desired or supported by biopowers and implemented by varied protagonists such as armies, organizations, humanitarians, colonialists, activists, or regular citizens.

Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

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.

The 1960-1970s - administrating asylum in the age of decolonisation and the Cold War
Governing refugees - norms, practices and actors
Cette journée d’études s’inscrit dans la continuité des travaux précédents du Comité d’histoire, notamment la publication : Réfugiés et apatrides. Administrer l’asile en France (1920-1960), sous la direction de Aline Angoustures, Dzovinar Kevonian et Claire Mouradian, Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2017. Elle prend place dans la série de journées pluridisciplinaires consacrées au gouvernement des réfugiés, c'est-à-dire à la gestion des réfugiés par les acteurs, qu’il s’agisse de l’administration ou d’acteurs privés concourant à la gestion publique de l’asile, dans le cadre français et international. Cette thématique intègre l’analyse des groupes de populations réfugiées et des individus vis-à-vis du parcours migratoire et administratif, en particulier en relation avec les institutions. Les articulations entre normes et pratiques seront aussi analysées dans ce contexte.

South Asian Diasporic Cinema: Encounters
The fourth issue of /DESI/ will focus on the question of encounters in diasporic South Asian cinema: Afghanistan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh Nepal and Sri Lanka. The transformation of this contemporary human condition into filmic material coincides with a turn in the scientific study of diasporas. Forced migrations, which generate a movement of displacement and settlement in home territories, movements of arrivals, caught in a logic of deterritorialization, diasporas – and more particularly South Asian diasporas – are all relocated in transnational and transcultural spaces. Cinema holds a mirror to this experience of movement through this new “ethnoscape” (Appadurai) made up of shifts and disjunctures, free flows and political hurdles, border-crossings and assignment of identity.

Actualities and new perspectives in social science research
Homelessness, has been recognized as a public problem, not only by international organizations, but also by the national and local authorities from many countries. Homelessness became also a scientific problem. Many generations of researchers conducted inquiries among homeless people. They analysed the phenomenon of homelessness in a longer history of the treatment of poverty in the occidental societies. They were also able to describe the survival on the streets, the different configurations of support, the social violence against homeless people, the construction of social problem during different eras, etc. This congress wishes to offer a space for exchange in order to develop new perspectives in the field of homelessness research.

Montreal | Fribourg
Ce colloque cherche à mieux comprendre les réseaux et sociabilités forgés à travers les échanges étudiants qui se multiplient dans le monde francophone au cours du XXe siècle, et en particulier après 1945. Plus précisément, ce colloque vise à éclairer les liens entre, d’une part, la mobilité et les séjours d’étudiants francophones (Canada, Suisse, Afrique subsaharienne, Maroc, Indochine, etc.), facteurs de rencontres et d’initiation à l’« international », et, d’autre part, les institutions en charge de la mobilité étudiante dans l’espace francophone.
