  Towards Dystopian Democracies in Europe and the USA?

  From Prejudice in Immigration Policies to Mass Surveillance in Counterterrorism Operations

  Developments of democracy in Europe and the USA have followed mutually influencing paths over the past two centuries. From the declarations of rights to the establishment of democratic institutions after WWII, these regions have built their governments on the foundation of human rights protection. These foundations have now been weakened by the responses to a number of challenges, in particular immigration and counter-terrorism.

  Terre(s) promise(s) : représentations et imaginaires

  Ce colloque interdisciplinaire consacré à la question de la ou des Terre(s) promise(s), organisé par le groupe de recherches ECMEA / CRILLASH (Écritures et cultures : études croisées des mondes européens et américains) de l’université des Antilles et le Département pluridisciplinaire de lettres, langues et sciences humaines (DPLSH), se propose, dans une approche croisant des champs d’étude relevant aussi bien de la littérature, de la civilisation que des sciences humaines, de tenter d’explorer la richesse et la fécondité de la notion de terre promise, sans en édulcorer la force ni la portée symbolique, d’en traduire, en termes d’imaginaire, d’expériences et de vécu les différentes représentations ou les possibles avatars sans exclusive de temps, d’espace ou de culture.

  African and Gypsy categorizations in France

  The process of ethnicization in ordinary discourse

  In France, Bulgarian and Romanian migrants identified as “Roma” and usually living in slums are regularly the targets of categorizations, of rejection and of xenophobic violence. Even though other immigrated populations, such as Africans, have been subject to this type of ostracism for some time, the spectre of racism and xenophobia has spread under the effect of the diffusion of a number of political and media discourses. Whether coming from the right or the left of the political spectrum, these differentialist discourses stem from the highest level of the State, and have been regularly relayed by the media, thus legitimizing their presence within the French public space.
