Social Movements of the Global South
Methodological and Theoretical Considerations
ISA47 is launching a new journal "Social Movements and Change". Philipp Altmann, Deniz Günce Demirhisar and Jacob Mwathi Mati are organizing a special edition on "Social Movements of the Global South – Methodological and Theoretical Considerations". Their aim is to "bring together research on social movements worldwide that break with the Eurocentric bias of social movement theory and try to develop both theories and methodologies apt to understand action, discourse or outcomes of social movements in the Global South".

Political Informality, Power and the Other Side of Urban Space
Online journal « L'espace politique » n° 29 (2-2016)
This issue of L’Espace politique aims at understanding the roles and meanings of informal practices in city governance and urban life. How does the diversity of urban power structures emerge and consolidate, in informal and sometimes illegal ways? What influence does it have on the production, administration and control of urban space? This special issue is at the junction of two academic traditions: urban studies and the studies on informality. We encourage contributions based on fieldwork in cities, which will be the basis for comparison between several local case studies.

The Caribbean, a collective memory
Asking the question of "compensation" together
L’histoire de la Caraïbe a besoin de s’écrire au-delà de la réalité des petites parcelles, tant de fois séparées par un bras de mer. Comment inventorier les expressions du morcellement pour écrire notre histoire commune ? D’Haïti à Trinidad et Tobago en passant par Saint Kitts et Navis, la Dominique ou la Martinique, quelles sont les ressemblances ? La langue du grand compromis sera-t-elle l’anglais ou le créole ? CARIFESTA est l’occasion d’en discuter, pour commencer à créer des contenus, à donner des contours.

Making the city in common (goods)
La notion de « communs » a connu ces dernières années un regain d'intérêt, en même temps que se développent des initiatives visant à générer, gérer et partager des ressources et à répondre aux aspirations de collectifs souvent issus de l'économie collaborative, du numérique et de l'écologie : jardins partagés, habitat participatif, cartographie et semences libres, tiers lieux, fablab, monnaies locales, communautés de défense du patrimoine (écologique, culturel ou industriel), mobilités ou énergie partagées, sciences et contenus éducatifs ouverts, échanges de savoirs, etc.

Ética, ambiente e antropologia: até onde podemos ir na investigação em ciências sociais?
III Fórum APA
Existirão limites éticos nas práticas dos antropólogos? Reconhecem-se áreas de actuação e intervenção distintas assim como contextos interdisciplinares que, cada vez mais, marcam as experiências dos antropólogos. Muitos deles, ou quase sempre, são arenas políticas onde se confrontam saberes competitivos, num mundo que não é só de indivíduos humanos, de vivos, do aqui e do agora.

Tracés journal, issue 30
En reposant la question de la minorité en termes d’expérience, le numéro 30 de la revue Tracés propose d’aborder les études sur les minorités à partir des processus sociaux, discursifs et affectifs qui participent, de manière souvent problématique et conflictuelle, à la construction du commun minoritaire. On réfléchira aux façons de vivre, dire et penser l’expérience minoritaire, sans pour autant renoncer à un examen des dispositifs juridiques ou administratifs qui façonnent celle-ci, et des mobilisations collectives qui s’emploient à la définir et à la transformer. Il ne s’agit pas tant ici d’opposer des approches par le haut et par le bas, que d’inciter à des allers-retours entre ces différents points de départ, sans préjuger de la méthode ou de la perspective dans lesquelles les contributions souhaiteront s’ancrer.

The making of cultural policies
Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization
This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

Il permet d’accompagner les doctorants sur le plan théorique et méthodologique. Les Ateliers du foncier sont des instances organisées trimestriellement pour permettre aux jeunes chercheurs de discuter de leurs recherches auprès de praticiens et de chercheurs confirmés. Le RJCF est ouvert à tous les jeunes chercheurs qui, dans leurs travaux s’intéressent de près ou de loin aux questions foncières.
