  Issues of second language acquisition in migratory contexts

  Les processus de mondialisation qui s’accélèrent en ce début de XXI^e siècle, et les phénomènes de mobilité qui en résultent, posent de nouveaux défis qui appellent de nouvelles réponses en matière de politique d’accueil et d’intégration / insertion des publics migrants. Les besoins de formation des publics migrants et les contextes dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent étant donc extrêmement variés, ils interrogent dès lors, ou vont ou doivent interroger la didactique des langues et des cultures à la fois dans sa prise en compte de la diversité des contextes, socio-culturellement situés, et dans ses processus d’intervention, en vue d’élaborer des modèles d’action liés aux réalités sociales. Notre colloque se propose ainsi d’éclairer les modalités de transmission / acquisition des apprentissages des langues secondes dans différents contextes migratoires.

  Queering Friendship | citizenship, care and choice

  Intimate Final Conference

  Contrary to individualization theories that suggest the impoverishment of human relationships, theories of relationality recognize the increasing centrality of informal networks of solidarity and care. In this debate, friendship plays a fundamental role. The mutual implications of intimacy and citizenship need to be addressed, exploring the extent to which issues of LGBTQ friendship matter (or not) in being recognized as citizens. The centrality of friendship is even more striking when considering personal lives of trans and non-binary people, but also lesbian women, gay men and bisexual people, LGBTQ migrants and other intersecting, vulnerable groups. In particular, the way transgender people actively provide and receive different care between friends offers invaluable contributions to political debates and conceptual discussions around friendship and care as a key aspect of LGBTQ everyday life. Unveiling the richness of the blurred spaces of intimacy, the ways in which LGBTQ people produce alternatives to family-based forms of cohabitation are also of critical importance. LGBTQ lived experiences further contribute to destabilizing the family/friends and public/private binaries, whilst challenging heterocisnormative expectations about who legitimately belongs to the intimate sphere and who remains excluded and/or invisible.

  Decolonization and postcolonial issues of childhood and youth (1945-1980)

  While young people played a large role in building colonial empires, they were also an essential concern in decolonization. Indeed, the emancipation process of colonized peoples in the second half of the twentieth century raised with great force the social and political issue of children and young people in the colonial and post-colonial context, both in newly-independent and ex-colonizing countries. In a complex set of political and diplomatic, economic and social, demographic and populationist, philosophical and religious questions, colonial and post-colonial issues surrounding children and young people gave rise to specific biopolitics. Children and young people were subjects of policies desired or supported by biopowers and implemented by varied protagonists such as armies, organizations, humanitarians, colonialists, activists, or regular citizens.
