  Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology

  Futuros Disputados (2016)

  VI congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia (APA) – Chamada para comunicações

  The upcoming conference of the Portuguese Anthropological Association continues the debate about the worlds we inhabit, create and differentiate. Knowledge about its pluralities has guided the discipline for over one hundred years, in ever new and unexpected scenarios. Anthropology faces new challenges in the contemporary context of an anthropocene (or in its most radical version, capitolocene) and its uncertain responsibilities on the collective fate of humans and nonhumans. While governments and political actors favor macroscopic knowledge supported on statistics and normative analytical frameworks, we respond with what we learn in ethnography and anthropology: a knowledge closer to the lived experience and one that pays attention to the voices, bodies, desires, subjectivities, communities, identities, anxieties about the past, present and near future, unsatisfied by large-scope ideological narratives.

  Lusophone mobilities: between past and present, which future?

  6th Conference of the Portuguese Association of Anthropology - panel T047

  This panel is meant to discuss these migrating populations’ mobility procedures in lusophone countries, while seeking to construct through the different presentations a broaden mosaic of reflexions about when and how these populations have moved, and how they have used and instrumentalized the "imagined" and politically constructed idea of a "lusophone community".

  Migrations and exiles

  One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

  Is this the same language? Plurilingualism and migrations in French language literature

  Ce colloque international a pour ambition de formaliser et de théoriser un phénomène qui concerne à la fois la linguistique et la littérature. Il existe un intérêt croissant pour l´écriture plurilingue à travers différents types de textes et de genres. L'objectif est de réunir des chercheurs travaillant sur les questions d'actualité dans le contexte des langues et de la culture. Plus précisément, le colloque prétend fournir un aperçu de l´état de la question, d'explorer de nouvelles directions et les nouvelles tendances dans les cultures et les langues. Aussi, l’Association portugaise d’études françaises, en partenariat avec la faculté des lettres de l’université de Coimbra, est-elle heureuse d’annoncer ce colloque qu’elle organise à l’université de Coimbra, les 19 et 20 mars 2015, aux chercheurs que cette thématique transversale ne manquera pas d'intéresser et d’interpeller.

  The (de)construction of Europe (1939-1945)

  3rd annual encounter of Europe and the world

  Suite aux rencontres organisées en 2012 et en 2013, respectivement intitulées Pour la Paix (1849-1939) et L’Europe de l’entre-deux-guerres (1919-1939), la III^e Rencontre annuelle l’Europe et le Monde propose à la réflexion et à la discussion les idées, les propositions et les initiatives qui, dans le contexte de la seconde guerre mondiale, ont eu l’Europe pour objet. Les années de guerre ont vu, en particulier dans les mouvements de résistance, se former des conceptions nouvelles de l’union politique et économique de l’Europe. Entraînée dans un processus d’autodestruction, l’Europe a été durant le même temps repensée dans des architectures diverses où les esprits ont cherché à configurer leurs idéaux de coopération européenne.
