Questioning Spaces of Citizenship in Latin America and the Caribbean
Latin American History Graduate Student Conference
Scholars often invoke citizenship as an analytic frame to understand the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. While the concept can encompass a broad range of topics, this conference will focus on the spaces where individuals and groups come into contact with the institutions and symbols of the state. These spaces may be physical places, institutional settings, discursive realms, or other fora. In this graduate student conference, we will ask how such spaces of citizenship are constructed, delimited, and at times rejected, and how the terms of interaction and negotiation in these spaces are defined and re-defined.

Dilemmas of political representation
The journal Snodi. Public and Private in Contemporary History will devote its 13th issue to the theme of political representation; we invite submissions of papers which address in particular the dilemmas, the conflicts and the tensions that can arise between duties of representation and individual choices and inclinations. We are interested in explorations of the ways in which the conflict between the "self" and the "collective self" has broken out within the political sphere at different stages of the modern era, from the late eighteenth century to the present, and in differentgeographical contexts.

Congolese arts and the Congolese diaspora in Belgium: images and post-colonial relationships
Ce colloque interrogera la postcolonialité de la Belgique à partir du champ artistique de la diaspora congolaise en faisant appel aux chercheurs, aux artistes et aux institutionnels. Il s’agira de réfléchir à la façon dont les rapports historiques entre belges et congolais se répercutent dans le champ de la création, de la promotion et la diffusion des artistes. Nous examinerons également la façon dont ce champ artistique s’est constitué et recomposé dans le temps ainsi que les processus d’hybridation à l’œuvre, à travers l’inscription des artistes dans différentes sphères artistiques. Nous chercherons aussi à savoir dans quelle mesure et de quelles façons ces expressions artistiques participent à la (dé)construction de la narration nationale et s’inscrivent ou non dans la continuité des imaginaires et des représentations de la Belgique au sein de la diaspora.

Contemporary patients and democracy in health
Anthropologie & Santé theme issue
La revue Anthropologie & Santé lance un appel à contribution pour son dossier thématique « Patients contemporains face à la démocratie sanitaire », coordonné par Eve Bureau et Judith Hermann-Mesfen. Aujourd’hui la revue Anthropologie & Santé propose de s’intéresser à ces mécanismes d’appropriation, de reformulation, et au(x) sens que les acteurs concernés donnent à ces nouveaux rôles. Dans la limite de nos connaissances, aucune revue d’anthropologie n’a encore proposé un numéro spécial sur cette thématique. L’objectif est de réunir des articles qui questionnent l’articulation entre messages institutionnels, sens et usages afin de rendre compte des multiples facettes de la participation des patients et des facteurs qui déterminent la mise en place de ces innovations participatives.

Governing, negociating and punishing
Public powers, military recruitment and insubordination at the end of the Middle Ages in the Mediterranean and Alpine regions, 13th-16th centuries
La journée d’études examinera la construction des rapports institutionnels entre pouvoir central et sujets à la fin du Moyen Âge, par le biais de la question du recrutement militaire et de l’insoumission. Il s’agira ici d’aborder la question en lien avec l’histoire sociale et institutionnelle, et de s’inscrire dans l’histoire des systèmes de pouvoir d’un point de vue pragmatique : quelles formes de domination les autorités publiques mettent-elles en place pour gouverner les communautés et les territoires placés sous leur contrôle ?

Santiago
The objective of this colloquium will be to debate and analyze politics and the political by means of the different forms of language, discourse and practices that intervene in the construction of the social world. There are myriad examples of this in Chilean history. Taking history, political philosophy and political economy as the starting points, we invite doctoral candidates, researchers and academics to participate in this truly trans disciplinary space of debate, reflection and feedback whose goal is not only to unite a community of researchers into “the political” in the republican period but also to select the best works presented for a future publication in the format of a collective work or a special dossier of a scientific publication.

The Bronislaw Geremek Institute of European Cultural History – Summer workshops
These workshops propose to consider the political uses of folklores and the presence of folklore-related elements in new aesthetic phenomena. The IHCE’s summer workshops on “Folklore and Politics” aim to highlight and develop cultural history approaches while being open to other disciplines. Monographic approaches may be accepted, but the workshops definitely aim to explore historiographical stakes, with a view to showing the fertility of cultural history, which never analyses the contradiction of identity as a self-contained phenomenon.

Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe
We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational. -

Popular culture and protest repertoires in 20th century in Europe
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scholars from different subject areas –historians, social anthropologists, political scientists and social movement scholars – to reflect in an interdisciplinary and comparative European perspective upon the influence of popular cultures and old repertoires of contention (rough music, mock trials, mock funerals, ride on donkeys, shaving, effigy burning or hanging, etc.) on modern protest. -
Revue Mots. Les langages du politique
Dans ce numéro intitulé Couleurs politiques une réflexion d’ensemble sera consacrée au rôle joué par les termes de couleur dans le discours politique : d’un point de vue strictement lexicologique, en raison de la spécificité de ces termes ; du point de vue de l’analyse des discours politiques dans la mesure où, sous des formes très diversifiées, ils configurent la « politisation » même du discours.
