Conference, symposium - Representation
During the final talks of the fruitful international conference named “body languages in comics” set up by the junior drawn sciences laboratory of the Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) in Lyon on 8th and 9th October 2014, the idea to carry on, in a more precise way, the numerous debates on the occasion of a later scientific event was mentioned. In light of this, the C3S laboratory (“culture, sport, health and society”) of the University of Bourgogne/Franche-Comté organises holding an international symposium in order to study how sport is depicted in comics. Researchers in the C3S laboratory dedicate their work to sport sciences with a theoretical and epistemological commitment marked by interdisciplinarity. According to this stance, the international conference is open to various contributions allowing to understand the representations (whether they be historical, sociological, anthropological, literary, semiotic, psychological…etc…) of sport in comics.

Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations
The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)
The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of socialist trade unions.

The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time
With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Travailler n’est pas exécuter. Ce hiatus entre ce qui est défini comme étant à faire et ce qui est fait conduit à explorer l’épaisseur du travail. On y découvre l’invention de manières de faire qui permettent de singulariser l’activité, la mobilisation et le détournement de moyens visant à dépasser les obstacles rencontrés… Arts de faire, métis, bricolage, intelligence pratique, renormalisation, stylisation... Autant de conceptualisations de la puissance inventive engagée dans le travail vivant.

Call for papers - Urban studies
The cities of urban research have long been and still are widely today, the "great cities". But the realities of urban are not limited to them. In France for example the small and medium-sized cities house more than a quarter of the population. What does the observation of these cities bring to knowledge of the urban phenomenon? On the other hand, in the research devoted to major metropoles, it is often very specific neighborhoods that are the subject of attention of research as well as the media: social housing developments or the central gentrified neighborhoods. But more "ordinary" neighbourhoods are not often the focus. What does the observation of these neighbourhoods that we do not talk about "say" about the city? In other words, we would like to call on work that offers openings of the typologies of cities as the typologies of neighbourhoods that are subjacent to the discourse and debates on the urban.

Humanities and linguistics: cross disciplinary methodologies
This symposium aims to question the critical use of cross-cutting methodologies in the fieldsof humanities and linguistics, the exchanges and practices of pluri-, inter- or transdisciplinarity between this research fields. The papers will question to what extent one's research topics required the use of cross-cutting methodologies; how the use of these methodologies shed a new light on these topics.

Worlds of work and labour markets in Southern Europe
Contractual uncertainty: Freedom and constraints at work
Dans la dynamique de spécification du travail et des activités productives à l’égard des autres activités sociales, les institutions juridiques jouent un rôle crucial. L’élaboration d’un droit de travail et le développement d'assurances sociales reposant sur la cotisation des employeurs et des salariés introduisent des catégories nouvelles dans la vie sociale et économique. Ils enjoignent les acteurs économiques à se reconnaître dans l'une ou l’autre catégorie. Mais que se passe-t-il avant l’entrée en vigueur d'un Code du travail, la reconnaissance d’un contrat de travail ou l’identification d'une catégorie de « chômeur » permettant de regrouper dans une condition commune ceux qui travaillent pour un même « employeur » ?

In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

Rethinking social issues in Europe in light of the experiences of emerging countries ?
The proposed conference aims to foster debate on the impact of globalisation on social issues, based on findings from old industrialised nations as well as from the so-called “emerging nations”. Emerging nations are characterised by recent and rapid industrialisation that has led to the emergence of educated middle-class consumers and raised living standards of a section of the working class. This industrialisation has also led to structured protest movements that authorities have been able to address through social policies. Emerging nations have also experienced or maintained an increase in inequality leading to corruption, delinquency or criminalisation and giving rise to parallel initiatives within civil society which is more efficient in emerging countries; founded on democratic principles, the State in developed countries is still able to efficiently intervene in favour of its citizens.

Vie et survie dans le Venezuela contemporain
La cinquième journée d’étude du GEIVEN (Groupe d’étude interdisciplinaires sur le Venezuela) portera, plus particulièrement sur les stratégies de survivance. Ces stratégies de survivance auxquelles les différents acteurs vénézuéliens ont recours pour gérer les imprévus de la vie quotidienne, prennent plusieurs formes (migration et déplacement de population à l’échelle régionale, nationale ou internationale, le recours à d’autres modes de communication, l’organisation de groupes et d’association, etc). L’enjeu de cette journée d’étude sera donc d’ouvrir le champ théorique à plusieurs disciplines, telles que l’histoire, la géographie, l’anthropologie, la sociologie, le droit, l’art, les sciences du langage, la science politique entre autres, afin de favoriser les échanges transdisciplinaires et comprendre les dimensions multiples que prennent ces stratégies de survivance dans le cas particulier du Venezuela.

Poétiques et politiques du corps dans la contemporanéité
Contemporary poetics and politics of thee body
From a comparing and transversal perspective, gathering different theoretical and artistic subjects, this congress aims at opening an interdisciplinary dialog, as well as putting into play the different questions that contemporaneity asks about the body. Knowing their territorial cultural differences, each historical period produces a different concept of body and person, which is intimately connected to what goes around on the artistic, theoretical, technological, social, politic and economic fields that sustain it. From an interdisciplinary point of view, this meeting intends to propose and get on the tracks of an investigation that can favour understanding the construction of corporality in our contemporary context.

Madrid, traces and traced (1950-2000)
La ville, lieu « où se trame l'existence humaine » comme le formule Lewis Mumford offre un carde de réflexion applicable aux villes modernes. Le choix de Madrid est un choix comme un autre, nul besoin de l'expliquer sinon que rien ne disposait cette bourgade médiévale à devenir capitale, encore moins métropole. Les approches seront croisées, sociologiques, urbanistiques, littéraires, linguistiques et historiques.

Conference, symposium - History
Transnational, Transhistorical Perspectives
This international conference on carnival will bring together historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to explore the links between carnival and politics as showcased by carnivals in Europe, North America, the Caribbean and Latin America. The purpose of the meeting will be twofold: (1) discuss the evolution of "carnival studies" since the publication of Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World fifty years ago; (2) use case studies covering a wide range of geographical areas and historical periods (from the Renaissance to the 21st century) to produce a coherent synthesis of the relationship between carnival and politics.
