  Economic Nationalisms in the New Globalized World

  How can be understood the 21st Century Economic Nationalisms? Is there any established relationships between States Economic Nationalisms and the current observed transformations of foreign policies? How to understand the British reluctance to pursue regional economic cooperation within the European Union (EU) through the BREXIT or the Chinese ambition to expand its economic cooperation through a wider extension of its commercial activities, especially as translated in the reactivation of the Silk Roads? Why, finally, do some states or governments prefer to confine their international domains of cooperation, while other seek to expand them?

  Communisms and political dissent

  The idea of communism and the great hope brought by the Russian revolution of 1917 marked, as a utopia and as political praxis, the contemporary social thought and the International Workers' Movement, between heated quarrels and endless controversies, sowing dissensions, verbal wars, profound sectarianisms and irreconcilable divergencies. Distinct societal models, organisational conceptions and political cultures have developed like different branches of a common trunk, becoming autonomous and crystallising.

  Shared memory(ies): Creation, research and politics in the European contemporary stage

  IIe congrès de l’European association for the studies of theatre and performance (EASTAP)

  Nous constatons l'enregistrement compulsif de nos actions « pour mémoire future ». Où se situe le théâtre et la performance dans cette problématique ? En tant qu'art de la mémoire ? En tant que dispositif mnémonique qui permet à une communauté de se souvenir temporairement ensemble et, surtout, de produire des mémoires, de projeter la mémoire dans un espace-temps de partage ? On peut parler d'un théâtre compris comme palimpseste qui laisse entrevoir ce qui est écrit, effacé, réécrit dans le corps-mémoire des acteurs, mais aussi dans le corps de ceux qui, étant présents, refont et refondent leurs mémoires en permanence. Le II^e congrès de l'European association for the studies of theatre and performance (EASTAP) a l'intention de réactiver la discussion sur le rôle de la mémoire dans la création théâtrale contemporaine.

  State-building, social movements and political economy

  Modernity was marked by the edification of increasingly complex and sophisticated state system, committed to governing territories and populations, through a multiplicity of administrative, fiscal, police and judicial networks. At the same time, new mechanisms for legitimizing political power emerged, based on the building of a public sphere and the dissemination of different forms of collective organization and mobilization: from associations to petitions, from political demonstrations to strikes and riots. Finally, a new regime of production and consumption was created in the form of a Political Economy directed to the creation of markets, the movement of goods and the accumulation of capital.
