Review Études Caribéennes n° 38, 2017
This issue of the Revue Études Caribéennes (Journal of Caribbean Studies) addresses the meaning of travelling and tourism in the context of a globalized economy and culture and the turbulent geopolitical changes occurred in recent decades. Is Utopia, a concept of utmost importance in the genesis and purpose of tourism, still a relevant topic today? This concept has a profound influence on our behavior toward the Other and Elsewhere. However, it is necessary to question the very meaning of utopias in the world of travel, especially if they are primarily considered as tourist acts of consuming places. Beyond the initial fantasy and vain exoticism, are imagination and dreams still relevant topics in an era of hyperconnectivity when planning our vacations, adventures or expeditions?

Migrants and access to the city
Revue « Espaces et Sociétés »
Recently, the scale of migration has generated strong images and speech that on one hand incite an urge to situate these events in academic debates, and also to participate in their objectification. This issue of E & S concerns access to the city by migrants, considering such access as an intermediate step between the flow of migration and registration (one time, temporary or permanent) of people in specific spaces. We expect proposals from those hoping to analyze the materiality of access points, technologies that accompany these processes, objects that materialize migratory situations, and finally, the temporal dimension of space. Empirical research from so-called “developing” countries will be valued highly and will be conducive to the renewal of analytical and operational framework categories, often forged in the North.

Call for papers - Representation
Filiation, the imagination and society
Líneas journal no. 9
Se plonger dans l'étude du lien social, sous l'angle de la filiation, à travers les témoignages et les traditions orales, les textes juridiques, historiques, les représentations littéraires et artistiques revient à affiner nos connaissances sur la complexité de sociétés en perpétuelle évolution : la filiation et ses représentations témoignent-t-elles d’un désir de reproduction à l’identique ou engagent-elles des dynamiques de transformation venant créer des brèches dans l’ordre sociopolitique institué, visant parfois à le révolutionner ? Ce numéro 9 de Líneas, « Filiation, imaginaires et sociétés », s’intéressera aux formes et aux représentations de la filiation, en Espagne et en Amérique latine, dans une perspective diachronique. Seront particulièrement appréciées les contributions faisant dialoguer représentations sociales (sociologie, anthropologie, histoire, études culturelles…) et représentations esthétiques (littérature, cinéma, photographie…).

New flows and spatial relations
Peripheral spaces within globalisation
La mondialisation contemporaine présente un visage inédit par bien des aspects. Elle modifie les relations entre les espaces, les institutions, les entreprises et les individus et entraîne notamment une transformation radicale des liens des périphéries avec d'autres lieux. Les flux de toutes natures que ces relations déclenchent, les stratégies des acteurs qui sont au centre de ces dynamiques, les territoires institutionnels, politiques ou identitaires que construisent ou renforcent ces reconfigurations et les dissymétries sociales et économiques qu’elles génèrent ont été étudiés par le programme collectif de recherche Périmarge : « Périphéries, marges : interpréter les relations aux centres dans la mondialisation », financé par l’ANR sur l’appel « Métamorphoses des sociétés : Inégalité-Inégalités ».

IV International Conference of Myth Criticism
Myth and Emotions
Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

Conference, symposium - Ethnology, anthropology
Memories and identities in question in sub-Saharan Africa and in Latin America
L’Afrique subsaharienne et l’Amérique latine sont liées de façon historique par le commerce triangulaire qui a fait déporter vers l’Amérique des millions d’individus arrachés à leurs terres ancestrales. Cette transplantation sur un continent nouveau, mal vécu par les esclaves, a permis de donner naissance à une culture spécifique, résurgence de la culture africaine et d’autres formes de cultures avec lesquelles les esclaves ont été mis en contact. Ce colloque entend donc questionner des notions de mémoire(s) et d'identité(s) en Afrique subsaharienne et en Amérique latine.

The arts of the Basque diaspora (19th-21st centuries)
Ce colloque entend enrichir la réflexion sur la diaspora basque, sur l’art contemporain et sur les peuples minoritaires en exil, en s’intéressant aussi bien aux arts plastiques traditionnels tels que la peinture, la sculpture et l’architecture, mais aussi aux arts visuels modernes, comme la photographie et le cinéma, et ce, depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à nos jours.

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium
Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

Origin(s) and latest developments
The question of repentance now applies to the public sphere and concerns huge collective bodies as well as individuals. It has a complex relationship with history. Repentance has even become a global issue and now concerns a wide range of geographical and cultural areas as well taking on many forms referring to facts whose scale, temporal distance or context are in no way comparable with it. Indeed, the roots of repentance are to be found in many traditions (religious, cultural, national and community) and nowadays, announcements (through the media at large) give rise to secular forms of repentance which are devoid of the dimensions that traditionally form the definition of repentance.

The rural Renaissance from one century to the next?
Rural study days 2016 - 25 years of rural dynamics
La parution de « La renaissance rurale » et la naissance du laboratoire « Dynamiques Rurales » sont quasiment concomitantes. Un quart de siècle plus tard, quel sort faisons-nous à « La renaissance rurale » ? L’objectif n’est pas tant de reprendre la polémique entre les tenants de la crise rurale et de sa disparition programmée, opposés aux tenants d’une renaissance rurale aux accents parfois localistes et militants. Il s’agit plutôt de revenir sur le fond, sur le projet qui a guidé l’ouvrage : une tentative de synthèse des réflexions des années 1970 et 1980 en vue de refonder l’objet « rural », de donner les grands axes d’un modèle de compréhension d’un rapport société – espace. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui de ce projet ? Dans l’objectif de construire un bilan et des perspectives, nous proposons de centrer le colloque sur des points de controverse qui ont animé les études rurales durant ces dernières décennies.

Espaces et sociétés
In a general context of growing social inequalities, this issue reviews the role that housing plays in the system of inequalities, on the one hand, and in the multiple variations of housing inequalities, on the other. Faced with growing tensions in the housing market, we seek contributions that capture the changes at work in a field well-trodden by urban studies. Produced by class domination, racism and gender, how are today's inequalities intersect in analyses of access and housing conditions? How are inequalities produced in housing, who are the actors, what is the role of public policy? Beside typical situations, we encourage contributors to provide analyses of minority forms of housing as "social fact park" or de facto social housing in the private sector and existing housing stock and via third parties. Finally, this Call for Papers asks what are the consequences of housing inequality on the (re)production of inequality, and the changing classificatory function of housing.

Zone: the space of a life on the margins
Espaces et sociétés
While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).
