Scholarship, prize and job offer - Ethnology, anthropology
The project “Gangs, Gangsters, and Ganglands: Towards a Global Comparative Ethnography” (GANGS) aims to develop a systematic comparative investigation of global gang dynamics, to better understand why they emerge, how they evolve over time, whether they are associated with particular urban configurations, how and why individuals join gangs, and what impact this has on their potential futures. It draws on ethnographic research carried out in Nicaragua, South Africa, and France, adopting an explicitly tripartite focus on “Gangs”, “Gangsters”, and “Ganglands” in order to better explore the interplay between group, individual, and contextual factors. The first will consider the organisational dynamics of gangs, the second will focus on individual gang members and their trajectories before, during, and after their involvement in a gang, while the third will reflect on the contexts within which gangs emerge and evolve.

The logics of the inventory: classifying archives, books, objects (Middle Ages - 19th century)
Ce colloque s’intéressera de façon non restrictive aux pratiques et aux gestes de mises en ordre qui donnent lieu à un document, que celui-ci soit un inventaire, un répertoire, un catalogue, un index (indice), etc. Parallèlement à ce dont témoignent les inventaires, les organisatrices de ce colloque invitent les participant-e-s à une réflexion critique, à une lecture « en creux » des pratiques de mises en ordre.

A golden century? Rethinking Dutch painting in the 17th century
The contribution of artistic genres to the construction of a Dutch golden age
Si on considère depuis Denis Diderot que les genres artistiques sont consubstantiels de la production artistique hollandaise du XVIIe siècle, leurs définitions, leurs places et leurs spécificités demandent encore à être mieux cernées.

Passages, transfers and trajectories in education
Le but de ce colloque est d’étudier sous un angle historique la façon dont les idées, les connaissances et les pratiques en éducation sont élaborées et transformées à travers des processus d’échanges et de circulation multiformes, à des échelles temporelles et géographiques variées, du local au transnational, et dans des contextes politiques également variés. Il invite à analyser la façon dont des conceptions éducatives, sous forme de savoirs et de pratiques, ont été diffusées, discutées, interprétées. Une attention particulière sera portée à ce qui circule comme à ceux qui circulent : les savoirs, discours et formes argumentaires mobilisés à l’appui des conceptions et des pratiques, mais aussi les acteurs qui portent, transmettent, diffusent ces conceptions, ces savoirs, ces discours.

Divided memories, shared memories: Poland, Russia, Ukraine
History mirrored in literature and cinema
In Central and Eastern European countries, memorial questions appeared right after the demise of the communist regimes in 1989–1991, revealing long-denied processes. The phenomenon of the rise of repressed memories along with the rewriting of history, and the political uses of the past are noticeable in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, three countries whose histories are as often shared as their memories are divided. The “memory wars” in which these three states have sometimes been engaged since the end of the 1980s have been the subject of an abundant historiography.

La revue Raisons éducatives organise une journée d'étude pour interroger le déplacement des frontières de l'action éducative sous l'effet de l'évolution des publics et des politiques scolaires, à la fois dans ses nouvelles modalités pratiques – politiques, référentiels, positionnements professionnels, champs d'intervention, etc. – et à travers ses conséquences récentes, parfois inattendues, pour les élèves et leurs familles – attentes scolaires, formes de catégorisation, formes de socialisation institutionnelle, contraintes, etc.
