  Cameroon and the challenge of Anglophone identity para-diplomacy

  Cet appel à contributions vise la publication d’un ouvrage collectif qui décrypte et analyse la paradiplomatie identitaire anglophone au Cameroun. En privilégiant une approche transversale, il est question d’interroger la manière dont, sur le plan international, les minorités anglophones s'organisent et se mobilisent au bénéfice de leur communauté. Les différentes contributions devront éclairer des problématiques telles que la conception et la mise en œuvre de la paradiplomatie identitaire ; les objectifs poursuivis ; les discours énoncés ; les acteurs impliqués ; les ressources mobilisées ; les contraintes existantes et les horizons de ces relations internationales.

  Dialectics of Dread and Refuge

  Theatre, Performance and Philosophy Working Group (TaPRA Conference)

  In A Grammar of the Multitude, Paolo Virno discriminates between the Kantian view of the dialectic of dread and refuge, which is based on a distinction between particular danger and absolute danger (also articulated by Heidegger through the distinction between fear and anguish) and the collapse of this distinction in the post-Fordist world, in which "the dividing line between fear and anguish, between relative dread and absolute dread, is precisely what has failed." (Virno 2004, 32) If post-Fordist institutions rely on a culture of pervasive dread – manifest as fear and anxiety – how do we resist this nearly intangible culture today? Arguably, we are moving beyond the sort of entrenched paralysis Virno speaks of, towards a new sort of political breakthrough, a manner of imagining life not determined by institutional cultures of fear and anxiety. Yet much thinking needs still to be done around the ways in which we engage in concerted resistance: do we fight within institutional walls – and if so, how do we resist systems of perpetual visibilisation – the gaze of securitization that renders us so exposed? What does this fight look like? Do we exit – and if so, where to? Is there a new underground?

  Religious conversion in African societies and their diasporas

  Temporalities spaces and modes of presence

  Ce panel se propose de revenir sur les phénomènes de conversions, (de)conversions, et/ou (re)conversions religieuses comme pratiques sociales polymorphes, et interroge les différentes pratiques, temporalités et mobilités religieuses qui en découlent. Jouissant d'une grande profondeur historique, la question de la conversion suscite en effet une diversité d'interprétations et d'approches aussi bien épistémologiques que méthodologiques (Mary 1998a ; Buckser et Glazier 2003).

  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.
