  Haïti: An Earthquake for Gender

  Revue internationale des études du développement - 2019/3

  This special issue aims at bringing to light scientific knowledge which counterbalances thestereotyping of Haitian and Caribbean women’s rights. For centuries, Haitian women have beendeeply marked by the geostrategic interests of various world powers, and they are still the object of narratives whose androcentrism is explicit. This sp ecial issue will provide an opportunity to debate Haitian women’s varied experiencesthrough new epistemic and political postures, questioning western perceptions of Haiti. Thus, it will contribute to developing research largely based on practices, experiences, ideas, and theories produced in the Caribbean with an awareness for the logics of coloniality. The aim will be to bring to light an emerging literature in Haiti and, more broadly, in the French-speaking Caribbean. It will also place recent changes in the context of structural historicity, what tookplace since 2010 also being explained by structural mutations which began prior to the earthquake.

  Afin d’interroger et de discuter les usages (et mésusages) des répertoires féministes ainsi que les relations entre les mouvements de femmes et les États dans l’espace méditerranéen, le réseau de recherche « Reconfigurations » de la Philipps Universität de Marburg, associé à l’Université de la Manouba ainsi qu’à la Fondation Heinrich Böll de Tunis, organise deux journées d’étude interdisciplinaires à Tunis. Elles réuniront des universitaires investi·e·s dans les études de genre et les études féministes, travaillant sur et depuis différentes sociétés méditerranéennes et ayant le désir de mettre en perspectives leurs travaux.
