  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".

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

  O próximo congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia continua o debate sobre os mundos que habitamos, criamos e diferenciamos. O conhecimento das suas pluralidades guia a disciplina há mais de cem anos, em cenários sempre renovados e imprevistos, persiste e levanta novos desafios no quadro contemporâneo de um antropoceno (ou na sua versão mais radical, capitoloceno) indefinido em termos de responsabilidades decisivas sobre o devir colectivo de humanos e não humanos. Enquanto os poderes políticos públicos privilegiam escalas de conhecimento macrossociais reveladas por estatísticas e quadros analíticos normativistas e normalizadores, propomos contrapor e acrescentar o conhecimento que aprendemos com a etnografia e a antropologia, mais próximo da escala da experiência vivida, dando atenção às vozes, corpos, desejos, subjectividades, comunidades, identidades, na ansiedade dos passados, presentes e futuros próximos, perante a incompletude das grandes narrativas ideológicas.

  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.
