  The Vodun/Orisha pantheon - an answer to the world issues of tomorrow

  Porto-Novo, Capitale du Bénin a été pendant trois siècles et jusqu'a l'arrivée du colonisateur français en 1894, le cœur du royaume de Xogbonou. Ce passé a laissé dans le ville les traces matérielles plus ou moins conservées et qui donnent à cette ville une attractivité singulière. Le colloque scientifique du Festival international de Porto-Novo est un moment de réflexion sur son histoire et les grands enjeux du développement. Le présent appel à communications se définit donc comme une contribution à une meilleure connaissances des enjeux mondiaux d'aujourd'hui et de demain, mais aussi comme l'opportunité d'une large réflexion sur le panthéon Vodùn / Orisha ainsi que leur réponse aux questionnement du monde.

  Debating Homelessness

  Actualities and new perspectives in social science research

  Homelessness, has been recognized as a public problem, not only by international organizations, but also by the national and local authorities from many countries. Homelessness became also a scientific problem. Many generations of researchers conducted inquiries among homeless people. They analysed the phenomenon of homelessness in a longer history of the treatment of poverty in the occidental societies. They were also able to describe the survival on the streets, the different configurations of support, the social violence against homeless people, the construction of social problem during different eras, etc. This congress wishes to offer a space for exchange in order to develop new perspectives in the field of homelessness research.
