  X-ray of violence in Peru in the post-war

  15 years of the Commission of Truth and Reconciliation: appraisals and perspectives

  De longue date, la France a accueilli nombre de rencontres sur la violence politique et ses enjeux mémoriels dans les pays latino-américains. Nous proposons ici la première manifestation académique sur le cas péruvien en France. Ce colloque vise à questionner l’impact du rapport final de la Commission de la Vérité et Réconciliation (CVR) en tant que grand récit « officiel » du conflit armé au Pérou. Dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, il s’agira d’analyser les répercussions des recommandations de la CVR et d’interroger « l’actualité » du conflit armé dans la société péruvienne. Pour mener à bien ce projet, nous avons souhaité faire dialoguer différents espaces, approches et disciplines faisant écho à ce sujet : notre réflexion s’articule ainsi au croisement de l’anthropologie, de la sociologie, de l’histoire, de l’archéologie et de la littérature.

  Do elected representatives (really) like democracy ?

  Political staff facing citizen participation

  What is the relationship of elected officials with democracy and citizen participation? How do they perceive their roles as representatives, their status and their political room for maneuver? How do they understand the democratic role of citizens and their skills? How do these issues determine different profiles of elected officials and different political trajectories? What are the relationships of elected representatives and partisan organizations with democratic institutional reforms. How do they deal with the issue of democratizing democracy? These questions will be at the heart of this conference. Based on empirical work, original or reviewed, this symposium aims to show how elected representatives imagine what "good participation" should be, how they relate to the so-called "democratization" or "deprofessionalization" of political life, how they conceive the social demand for participation, how they construct policies of participation on this basis (often referred to as "supply policies") and potentially draw lessons about their own democratic experiences and their roles as representatives. At the crossroads of the sociology of public action, political roles and political behaviors, this conference aims to sum up the current state of research about political staff facing citizen participation.

  Women of the Americas

  The recognition of women’s place in American societies has become a crucial social, cultural, political and economic issue, as evidenced by worldwide protest movements such as Ni Una Menos that started in Argentina – a feminist movement fighting against feminicides and gender-based violence – or the Women’s March against President Donald Trump in the United States. Whether these protests have to do with the struggle for women’s right to vote, the sexual revolution that started in the 1960s, or social movements denouncing gender-based violence in urban and rural environments, they highlight a continuity between yesterday’s feminist fights and their re-adaptation in the public space.

  Techno-Realities and Affective Creatures: the Love Simulation Devices

  Modern-day embodiments of Baudelaire’s Artificial Paradises, the techno-realities are seen as a threat to human relationships in “real” life, in particular when they relate to love. Such human-shaped products however multiply: domotic spouse, tactile screen’s boyfriend, holographic companion, bride for Virtual Reality glasses, interactive downloadable partner, otomegames and bishōjogamescharacters… pending the development of Hololens friends. The explosion of these technologies (forecast to reach 181 billion euros in 2021 for VR only) generates anxiety and rejection. People engaged in Love Simulation Games have to face attacks: emotional relationships with non-existent beings are frowned upon. The tendency to get involved with a digital creature is being stigmatized, as opposed to founding a family (i.e. a reproductive unit). In spite of the stigma, a growing number of men and women, worldwide, are however using love devices: how can we explain that?

  The political body of the child - research programs and modes of intervention

  Enfances familles générations international journal*

  L’enjeu de ce dossier thématique consiste à interroger la manière dont la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales influence les politiques et les formes d’intervention accompagnant la croissance de l’enfant. Ce numéro propose ainsi d’explorer : 1. la contribution des programmes de recherche sur notre regard sur l’enfant; 2. la manière dont les connaissances entourant la prise en charge du corps de l’enfant sont incorporées dans l’évaluation et l’orientation de l’action familiale et éducative; et 3. la manière dont les enfants, les parents, les éducateurs s’approprient le discours sur la corporéité.
