    The Return of the Rust Belt and the Populist Moment

    Left-wing radicalism in the United States: a foreign creed?

    Special Issue, “Transatlantica” (journal of American Studies)

    This Transatlantica issue will analyze the way in which the construction of radicalism as foreign to US-American identity was received by radicals themselves, to see how they reacted to the branding of their beliefs as un-American, and how they devised counter-discourses in order to Americanize their ideas, sometimes leading to conflict and contradiction. How can the language of patriotism be combined with a belief in internationalism ? What coalitions, what political alliances can be built while maintaining a revolutionary stance ? How can the class struggle be rooted in a discourse on US-American society without succumbing to the sirens of exceptionalism ?

    Conference, symposium - Sociology

    Facing up to discriminations - experiences and demobilisations in popular districts

    Expériences et (dé)mobilisations dans les quartiers populaires

    Ce colloque constitue l’évènement scientifique de clôture du projet de recherche ANR EODIPAR « Expérience des discrimination, participation et représentation » (EODIPAR) coordonné par le collectif « Discriminations, racismes, engagements et mobilisations » (DREAM). Les première et troisième journées seront consacrées à la présentation des résultats de l’enquête collective comparative menée dans neuf quartiers populaires en France (Le Blanc Mesnil, Lormont, Mistral à Grenoble, Roubaix, Vaulx-en-Velin, Villepinte) en Angleterre (Londres), au Canada (Montréal) et aux États-Unis (Los Angeles) entre 2015 et 2018. Reposant sur 250 entretiens biographiques et l’observation d’une quinzaine de collectifs militants et de dispositifs d’action publique, ces recherches seront discutées par des cherheur·e·s spécialistes de ces questions. La deuxième journée d’étude, ouverte suite à un appel à communication, sera consacrée à la question des formes de disqualification et de répression qui affectent les mobilisations de minorités et issues de quartiers populaires.
