Intersectional Challenges in Afroeuropean Communities
8th Biennial Afroeuropeans Network Conference
The conference aims to consider how Afroeuropean communities are shaped by the intersections of ‘race’ and ethnicity with other markers of identification such as gender, class, sexuality, ability, age, citizenship status, language… Informed by intersectional thinking and its rejection of unidimensional perspectives in activism, policy and research, the conference explores how diverse processes of privileging and discrimination interact, making for complex and dynamic experiences of what it means to be Afroeuropean. It acknowledges that the racial and ethnic alterity of Afroeuropeans intersects with other identities (e.g. male, female, queer, working class, religious, disabled, aged…) and specifically seeks to examine to what extent these intersections create new alignments and opportunities.

Utopias and collective dystopias in rural worlds: Contestation, experimentation, evasion
"Civilisations", volume 70
The investment in the rural world by anti-establishment communities is not new. The strategy of withdrawal and distancing from places where power is centralised has already been observed by sociologists, anthropologists and historians at different times and places around the world. People who decide to organise their daily lives and modes of production collectively are motivated by different aspirations. Utopian collectives are also defended by their protagonists as places for experimentation with societal alternatives, whether they concern modes of governance, agricultural techniques, gender relations or the organisation of work. The objective of this issue is to grasp their "creative" potential, as well as the social values and contradictions they promote. This issue is part of a multidisciplinary approach.

Clothing, fashion and resistance
The Association belge de science politique (ABSP) and the Associations francophones de science politique (CoSPoF) congress 2021
Des soutiens-gorges jetés par les féministes américaines dans les « poubelles de la liberté » à la nudité des Femen, du polo Fred Perry des suprémacistes américains aux tee-shirts no logo des altermondialistes, du béret du Che au keffieh d’Arafat, le vêtement, et parfois son absence, nourrit le spectre des résistances, alimente la scénographie des contestations, leur confère une visibilité quitte à jouer, comme les Black Blocs, sur l’anonymat protecteur. Ce projet comprendra trois axes : le rôle du vêtement dans la construction des antagonismes, sa place dans les processus de mobilisation et son étude en tant que vecteur de circulation interculturelle des modalités de la résistance.

Conference, symposium - Representation
Thought and act. The theoretical stakes and practices of rethinking of the architectural act
Ce colloque vise à explorer comment le domaine de l’architecture est touché par un mouvement de revalorisation du faire. Cette tendance se manifeste par le fait que certains architectes s’engagent de manière plus directe dans les pratiques constructives, en prise avec certains matériaux ou certaines techniques. Le colloque propose d’investiguer la diversité des manifestations de la revalorisation du faire en architecture suivant trois axes distincts : les évolutions historiques et enjeux théoriques de ce phénomène ; les acteurs impliqués, les motivations et les valeurs qui les poussent à s’y engager ; et les moyens ou outils qui sont mobilisés en vue d’établir une relation plus directe avec la matière et sa mise en œuvre.
