Cultural policies, cities and territories
The Mouseion Journal of the Museum and La Salle Historic Archive
This dossier aims to disseminate research findings focused on challenges of cultural policies and critical perspectives addressing key cultural issues facing cities and territories today from a comparative point of view. We aim to find out how and if cultural policies are consistent in promoting cultural diversity and social inclusion. The contributors are also invited to offer new theoretical perspectives on cultural policy and to provide for examples of cities and territories that achieved their goals in terms of promotion of cultural diversity and social developement.

Plural cities - the urban geographies of difference
L'information géographique journal
À la croisée des études urbaines et d’une géographie à la fois culturelle, politique et sociale, cet appel à articles pour la revue L'Information Géographique vise à poursuivre et enrichir les réflexions nombreuses menées dans le champ de la justice spatiale et du droit à la ville autour des processus d’éviction et la lutte des places, la gouvernance et la fabrique urbaines. En tentant de comprendre dans quelle mesure la construction, la gestion ou l’exclusion de la différence transforment et organisent les espaces urbains, et en soulignant ce que cela nous apprend sur les rapports de pouvoir à l’œuvre, le futur dossier contribuera à cerner l’intérêt d’une prise en compte de la différence en tant que facteur fondamental de la fabrique spatiale dans la réflexion géographique.

Amman
Call for papers - Urban studies
Contemporary Amman and the Right to the City
A city of four million inhabitants today, Amman’s expansion has become disproportionate to its urban history. Amman has experienced an impressive urban growth over the past fifty years, driven by forced migration and market laws. Developing from a small rural settlement at the end of the 19th century, Amman evolved into a regional crossroad at the end of the 20th century, and has become today a symbol for the consolidation of Hashemite rule, and as a result, the site of its contestation. Amman’s exceptional position among other regional capitals and its recent urban history has forced its inhabitants to create narratives concerning the city’s foundation, invent urban traditions, and negotiate ways of socialization.

Contemporary African and Black Diasporic Spaces in Europe
"Open Cultural Studies" journal
This special issue of Open Cultural Studies explores the social and cultural spaces in which identifications with African and black diaspora(s) become articulated, (re)negotiated and established as a field of collective agency with transformative power in European societies. It will argue that African diaspora communities and cultures in Europe are constructed not only by individuals’ engagements with Africa and its global diaspora, or mediatized and commercialized notions of Africanness/blackness, but also through collective agency aiming at promoting change in European societies shadowed by the normative whiteness, nationalist discourses and policies, human rights violations and overt racism.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
Ce numéro de Frontières entend explorer la multiplicité et les transformations des morts animales dans les sociétés contemporaines. En partant de diverses catégories d’animaux (de rente, de ferme, d’assistance, de compagnie, de spectacle, d’expérimentation, de refuge, de zoo, sauvages, « nuisibles » ou « indésirables », etc.), il s’agira d’examiner la confrontation avec différents types et contextes de mort des animaux. Les propositions pourront ainsi aborder les diverses modalités de la mort des bêtes que sont l’abattage, la chasse, le sacrifice, l’euthanasie, l’expérimentation, l’élimination sanitaire, mais aussi les situations de guerre, prédation, pratiques rituelles ou spectaculaires diverses, etc.
