  Black studies in Europe

  A transnational dialogue

  Although it has long been existing on the other side of the Atlantic, where it found institutionalisation in the wake of post world war II black social movements in the United States, the field of Black Studies is only emerging in Europe. Its development is uneven, however. Some European countries show a longer history and a more prolific scholarship than others in the study of people categorized as “Black”. Different approaches are being used, and different traditions are being formed. The relationships between scholarship, activism and the wider political landscape are more or less close, more or less explicit, more or less influential to each other, depending on the context.

  Call for papers - Geography

  Territorial attractiveness and quality of life

  Special session, Sixth EUGEO, congress on the Geography of Europe

  As part EUGEO 2017 we propose a special session, on territorial attractiveness and quality of life. We wish to explore innovative ways of conceiving territorial attractiveness. How to think of attractiveness in innovative terms? How do we think about this innovation in terms that do not limit themselves to governance structures? How, for example, to innovate in terms of actors involved, selected indicators, policies ... In short, three main axes will guide this special session: Innovative strategies for territorial attractiveness; Quality of life, well-being and territorial attractiveness; Territorial perceptions and representations in the service of attractiveness.

  Study days - History

  Five centuries of publishing in Brussels

  Bruxelles, ancienne capitale de duché et actuelle capitale de l'Europe, doit l’éclosion d’une activité culturelle et intellectuelle foisonnante au rôle politique qu’elle a joué depuis de nombreux siècles. Cette effervescence est connue de manière fort inégale, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les mondes de l’édition et de la librairie au cours de l’époque moderne. Des spécialistes se réuniront au cours d’une journée d'étude autour de l’édition à Bruxelles depuis le XVe siècle jusqu’à nos jours, afin de poser un regard rétrospectif de plus de cinq siècles sur le milieu du livre à Bruxelles, à travers ses mutations jusqu’aux derniers développements contemporains.
