  Pontmain, the Marian apparition on January 17, 1871: texts, contexts, interpretations

  After being defeated by Prussian troops at the Battle of Le Mans, elements of the French Army retreat to the east of the department of Mayenne on January 13, 1871. Scuffles ensue in many spots, to the gate outside Laval. The advance of Prussian troops on the territory, while Paris has been under siege for four months, preoccupies the inhabitants of Mayenne.On January 17, the Virgin Mary appears to children of Pontmain, and only to them. The villagers pray and move from anguish to joy and hope.January 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of these military events and this apparition.

  Violence and environmental crisis

  Violence: An international journal

  Violence: An international journal is launching a call for papers on the theme “Violence and environmental crisis”. Can we speak about violence when describing biodiversity loss, the destruction of natural sanctuaries like Amazonia and the Great Barrier Reef, or when observing the spillage of illegally polluting wastes? How long is the chain of violence related to environmental crisis? And who are the perpetrators and the victims of such violence? In which way can we speak about violence, and can this violence be legitimated or condemned? All this raises theoretical, normative, linguistic and empirical questions to be discussed in the articles fostered by this call.

  Transnational Biographies. Destinies at the Crossroads throughout the 20th Century

  This call for papers seeks methodological and case-study perspectives on 20^th century biographies, interpreted within a framework of cross-national/transnational connections, surpassing the nation-centered apprehension of history. The contributions should acknowledge and interpret destinies and existences as subjected to transnational spaces and structures, while considering actors as non-state (or multi-state) entities. Moreover, we seek contributions that surpass the “center-periphery” paradigm, focusing on a “horizontal” approach, while also reversing the spotlight from diplomatic and political history towards the social and cultural dimension of it. Editors welcome contributions from different fields of research: history, political science, cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, gender studies or any other related areas of interest.

  Radical epistemologies and participative research

  Participations journal

  Les recherches participatives ont le vent en poupe. Elles recouvrent un faisceau très diversifié de démarches plus ou moins critiques de coproduction de connaissances, sous-tendues par une pluralité d’enjeux politiques, épistémologiques, méthodologiques et éthiques. Un sous-groupe de recherches participatives ancrées dans les épistémologies postcoloniales et féministes repose sur une lecture audacieuse des rapports entre production des connaissances et inégalités sociales. Nous désignons par le terme d’épistémologies radicales les courants de pensée qui articulent étroitement les revendications pour la pluralisation des systèmes de connaissances à la réduction des inégalités sociales et la lutte contre les discriminations. Ce dossier vise à faire état des recherches participatives contemporaines reposant sur ces épistémologies radicales, dont le positionnement politique, voire subversif, interroge les conceptions hégémoniques et les protocoles conventionnels de production de la science en lien avec les inégalités de pouvoirs et de savoirs structurant les inégalités sociales.
