  Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology

  Anthropologies of the United States of America

  Views from near and from afar

  This conference is an interdisciplinary research project intended for scholars from various fields. The aim is to discuss a historically, anthropologically and politically central country: the United States. Is it possible to see the United States as a country to be examined from multiple points of view – both from near and from afar – with particular interest in the current “anthropological” culture, while also paying attention to history and making predictions about the future? Specialists and enthusiasts from various backgrounds are invited to respond from specific perspectives, in order to compare and contrast different interpretations of the “American galaxy”. To this end, both studies of a theoretical nature and case studies are encouraged.

  Conference, symposium - America

  From "Indian rebellions" to "native riots"

  Amerindian societies, autonomy and the criminalisation of conflicts (America 16th-21st centuries)

  La catégorie de la révolte est aussi prégnante dans les sources coloniales – espagnole, portugaise, française ou britannique – qu’elle est omniprésente dans l’historiographie relative aux populations amérindiennes, au point de constituer presque un genre à part entière. L’objectif de la réflexion collective et comparatiste que nous voudrions mener dans le cadre de ce colloque serait donc de tenter d’aller au-delà des grilles d’analyses qui informent traditionnellement ces « révoltes » et ces « émeutes ». Il s’agit de déconstruire des catégorisations pour mieux reconstruire les logiques politiques et culturelles qui présidaient aux mouvements que ces catégories condamnent d’emblée et interdisent de penser de façon autonome.
