  Desertions, Counter-movements and Forced Mobilities in the Contemporary City

  First International Conference on Anthropology of Urban Conflict

  Social conflict is inherent in urban society in general. Social conflict is a historic constant that makes cities the epicenter of revolt in all of its forms. Despite our attempts to systematically classify the varied logics that lay behind existing disparate scales of uprising, e.g. large mass movements, small groups organized around blueprint actions, or individuals that quietly rebelled with daily contempt, to date it has not been possible to bring them all under a common systemic defiance. Political movements vs. social movements, peaceful vs. violent actions, organization vs. spontaneity, etc., these are old dichotomies overcome by the force of the present situation. So, how does conflict come about in contemporary cities? The varied kinds of agitation featured in the current crisis are a good example of the different types of rebellion against public order, the norms that sustain it, and the authorities that implement them. From a demonstration against government cuts to apolitical graffiti somewhere on the urban fringe, from insubordination against mortgage repossessions to the refusal to pay for the use of public transport, from symbolic happenings performed in public spaces to the defense, at any cost, of squatted housing, of neighborhood resistance against evictions or of the opposition to identification raids on undocumented migrants.

  Divercités : visions urbaines du quotidien

  Cultures en déplacement

  Ce colloque international envisage d’approfondir la problématique sociale et culturelle de la diversité comme supposé idéal et axe central des sociétés occidentales, aujourd’hui en crise, selon une perspective comparatiste et panhumaniste. Nous nous interrogerons, grâce à de nouvelles perspectives et à de nouveaux arguments fondés sur les apports théoriques de l’anthropologie et de la sociologie, sur la notion de « quotidienneté », si présente de nos jours mais ayant connu un grand essor à partir des années 1950 (Henri Lefebvre) et surtout pendant les années 1980-90 (Marc Augé, Michel de Certeau, Michel Maffesoli, entre autres). Cependant, les rapides mutations contemporaines des mondes urbains – fortement marquées par la crise économique, l’ébranlement des principes éthiques occidentaux et le recul des droits de l’Homme, les phénomènes des migrations et de la mondialisation, liées à ce que l’on a convenu de nommer la « société de la connaissance » – ainsi que les réflexions épistémologiques qui ont remodelé les sciences humaines et sociales durant ces dernières décennies, nous invitent à revisiter les objets textuels, artistiques et iconiques, témoins de ces nouveaux us et coutumes, de ces gestes et ces manières de faire, de ces rites et ces pratiques, constitutifs de notre complexe quotidienneté urbaine.

  1as Jornadas Internacionales de Antropología del conflicto urbano

  Deserciones, contra-movimientos y movilidades forzadas en la ciudad contemporánea

  The aim of this conference is to make an inventory and to analyze, from different ethnographic approaches, those often invisible phenomena of daily or extraordinary disobedience designed for, or inspired by, a rejection of spatial, economic, political, and social order. However, in order to identify them as mechanisms aimed at denouncing a particular order, we must approach these by looking at concepts that synthesize at once the processes that impose a homogeneous order as well as the practices that challenge it.
