Les droites latino-américaines pendant la guerre froide (1959–1989) : l’autre révolution ?
Les Cahiers des Amériques latines
Les Cahiers des Amériques latines, journal ot the Institut des hautes études sur l’Amérique latine (université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3) invites social scientists to deepen this exploration of the Latin American Right Wings during the Cold War (1959-1989). Assuming that we can not understand them without inscribing their temporality and historicity in the Cold War, we will ask us if there is a new political generation emerging in the 60’s and if this generation is connected to the neo-conservative revolution of Ronald Reagan and Margareth Thatcher in the 80’s. This issue, to be published in the fall of 2015, will focuse on the circulation of ideas and theories, actors and practices, symbols and subjectivities of political parties and political leaders, but also of social, economic and cultural actors. It will favor empirically based articles with a comparative reading of Latin American Rights or with a connected history approach within the Euro-American space.

Thinking, feeling and telling nightlife
The quality of nightlife in European cities has become a real political challenge in recent years. The turning point in the decision of regulating urban temporalities was The General States of the Night in Paris (2010) and in Geneva (2011). New lifestyles, the desynchronisation of social time with individual rhythms, the disruption oftraditional couplework/leisureinself-realizationand competitiveness between governors about urban marketing, explain this new point of view about urban life. Nowadays, how is nocturnal urban space occupied in central areas of large cities, but also in fringes? What does this gradual conquest of urban night-life mean ? How do we speak of everyday acceptanceand massive expansion in access to these nights? How can nightlife be appeased ?

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Call for papers from Espaces et Sociétés
A fundamental tool in the approach to space and in the relationships that societies maintain with it, direct observation or in situ is only simple in appearance Espaces et Sociétés thus invites authors to think about the way they have mobilized observation in their research. More specifically, we wish to explore the hypothesis that the plurality of the theoretical and technical declensions of observation are particularly striking when this concerns spaces, their configurations and their uses. What status does observation grant to space? What are the original manners to grasp places and the social activities which produce them? What are the criteria of validity of this method? Which criticisms can we address to observation as a method ?

Compositions, decompositions and recompositions in an interdisciplinary perspective
La disparition d’Hugo Chávez en 2013, la séquence électorale qui a suivi et les récents événements politiques mettent en évidence les processus de transformation de la société et du système politique vénézuéliens et, par conséquent, la nécessité, pour les chercheurs, de s’interroger à leur sujet. Au-delà de l’actualité, ces processus trouvent leurs racines dans l’histoire du pays, mais également dans ses relations avec le reste du monde. Le groupe d’études interdisciplinaire sur le Venezuela (GEIVEN) organise sa quatrième journée d’études internationale, le vendredi 5 décembre 2014, à Paris.

Language, diffusion and scientific production in the context of globalization
A question for geographies and geographers

It invites all French-speaking geographers, from different “national” and “linguistic”contexts, but also all geographers and geographies interested in sharing their views andexperience on the diffusion and production of knowledge in the global context.

Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870
Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.

Expressions of emotions : description and interpretation
Emotions are multimodal responses. They manifest themselves in experience, physiology and behaviour – e.g. in social interaction. Emotional behaviours include the so-called expressions of emotions. Now, expressions are directly accessible to others, in contrast to private experience and the greatest part of physiology. On the one hand, expressions can be seen as symptomatic signs of an organic state or as conventional signs embedded in social interactions. On the other hand, they can be interpreted as acts that transform the situation, doing, as it were, a work on it. Considered as signs or acts, expressions of emotions can be studied experimentally in the laboratory or naturalistically in the field, as well as through a variety of corpora made of texts, videos, films, etc.

Espaces et sociétés journal
En France ou à l'étranger, l’appel à articles souhaite cerner les logiques et les conséquences socio-spatiales de l'inflation carcérale et de la multiplication des espaces d'enfermement contraint et prolongé (centres éducatifs fermés, centres de rétention administrative, etc.). Quelles sont les spécificités des territoires qui accueillent ces espaces d'enfermement et quelles sont celles des territoires d'où viennent les détenus ? Quels sont les liens entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur, entre le lieu d'enfermement et son environnement ? Quels sont les rapports à l'espace à l'intérieur de ces lieux dont beaucoup sont aujourd’hui surpeuplés ? Espace d’ennui, de danger, de contrôle, de tri, de trafic, d'addiction, de maladie, de persécution, d'intégrisme et de folie, de suicide mais aussi de professionnalisation, d'amitié, d'amour, d'instruction scolaire, de sevrage, de remise en forme, de politisation, l'espace carcéral concentre les contrastes. Comment est-il affecté par le surpeuplement ? Quelles sont les résistances, adaptations, révoltes des salariés, des bénévoles, des détenus et de leurs familles ?
