  Competition and solidarity networks in contemporary South Asia's Labour Market 

  Hegemonic neo-liberal discourse assumes that free competition on all levels sparks a virtuous cycle of economic growth, which eventually trickles down to poor populations. Over the past three decades, the idea that restrictive labour laws hamper such competition has justified the deregulation of labour in the North and the un-regulation of labour in the South, notably in South Asia, where labour relations had already mainly been informal. Various sociologists have noted that intensified economic interactions and the rise of competition have made individuals more likely to activate their social networks to protect their individual interests. In this respect, to what extent do social networks shape relations in the diverse South Asian labour markets? How do new forms of social groupings reconfigure competition and solidarity relations? What forms of social interactions prevail, emerge and weaken in the market: chosen solidarity and inherited solidarity; inter-caste and intra-caste solidarity; class solidarity; corporate solidarity etc.?

  Seminar - Africa

  The production and circulation of cultural assets (2016-2017)

  The case of Middle Eastern and North African countries

  Financé par le labex ICCA en partenariat avec le CESSP et le Labsic, ce groupe de recherche est articulé autour d’un séminaire annuel et de manifestations scientifiques régulières. Il s’agit de favoriser la création d’un réseau international de chercheurs et de professionnels pour initier, développer et diffuser des travaux sur les productions culturelles et médiatiques (cinéma, informations, livres, programmes télévisés, musiques, etc.) dans les pays du Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord. Son objectif est de saisir leurs enjeux sociaux, économiques, politiques, religieux et culturels en se focalisant sur les spécificités des espaces nationaux et les processus de circulation des productions et des pratiques.
