Emotional Bodies

A Workshop on the historical Performativity of Emotions

The idea that the body is the site in which emotions are expressed is an old one in Western Culture. However, shall we alternatively consider emotions as historical agents that have given meaning to systems of symbolic relations which we understand here as “bodies”? This three-day workshop seeks to explore the conception of emotions as cultural practices that do things and have the power of creating emotional bodies throughout history. With this aim in mind, we will examine the production of physical, social, political, artistic and literary bodies in connection with the changing meaning of social norms, cultural codes and institutions, and especially as the result of the work of emotions.

Call for papers - Sociology

Addictions and society

What perspectives, what issues?

Ce colloque organisé à l’occasion des 50 ans du « GREA » et des 10 ans de « première ligne » a pour objectif de susciter un dialogue interdisciplinaire entre des spécialistes des addictions et des chercheurs en politiques publiques, santé mentale, urbanisme, économie, droit, etc. Il réunira de jeunes chercheurs et des experts internationaux dans le but de favoriser des échanges scientifiques et de développer de nouveaux réseaux. Quatre thématiques ont été choisies pour aborder tant les logiques individuelles et subjectives des addictions que les logiques situationnelles et contextuelles : le risque ; l’espace public/l’espace privé ; la construction identitaire ; les marchés des psychotropes et des politiques publiques.
