  Ordinary relations to gender

  Nombre d’actrices et d’acteurs, sans s’inscrire dans un militantisme organisé, mobilisent des discours sur le genre et les femmes pour intervenir dans leurs domaines d’activité propres (médias, politique, médecine, justice, etc.). Dans quelle mesure ces jeux sur et avec le genre, ces usages - et mésusages - contribuent-ils in fine à façonner les rapports sociaux de sexe ? Les discours ordinaires (au sens où ils ne sont pas organisés sous une forme militante explicite, mais sont liés aux rapports sociaux quotidiens) sur les excès et effets pervers du féminisme, ou encore le déni du genre comme catégorie d’analyse pertinente, les propos tenus sur les femmes (qu’ils soient positifs ou négatifs) constituent autant d’appropriations ordinaires des rapports sociaux de sexe et des luttes qui en sont l’objet.

  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.

  Women’s spring: feminism, nationalism and civil disobedience

  The aim of this conference is to explore the ways in which female activists and artists responded the resurgence of the far-right nationalism and the twin evil of religious fundamentalism. We want to take a closer look at grassroots emancipatory movements, women-led voluntary associations, as well as cultural texts by women – performances, installations, artworks, films and novels – in which authors take a stance against religious bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, racism and misogyny. But we also invite contributions that focus on women’s endorsement of and participation in ultra-conservative national and orthodox religious campaigns.
