Beyond Borders: Mapping Sexualities and the Sexualisation of Spaces
This international conference will examine the relationship between the notions of boundaries and sexuality from an interdisciplinary, transnational and transcultural perspective. In particular, it aims to map the ways in which space determines sexualities and sexual practices, and to understand, in turn, how sex structures and limits the spaces in which we live, and how we relate to them.

Organizations tested by telework
Sociologies pratiques - N°43
Qualifié d’« éternelle promesse », eu égard à la régularité depuis les années 1970 de l’annonce de son développement imminent (Aguilera et al, 2016), le télétravail connaît une véritable explosion en 2020, suite à deux mois de grève dans les transports à l’occasion de la réforme des retraites, puis à plusieurs semaines de confinement au printemps et une sortie de crise dont il est conçu comme une des mesures clés. Dans un contexte où le télétravail n’a jamais semblé aussi près d’un développement à grande échelle, il semble urgent de comprendre les significations de cette montée en puissance et de prendre la mesure de ses effets, à l’échelle des organisations.

The role of art in and towards sustainable changes
While the sociology of arts and culture has long dealt with classical sociological questions of artistic production, distribution and reception, the concern for ecological issues and sustainability has only recently been taken up. On the one hand, the artistic field is an economy and an industry like any other, where the use of natural and human resources leads to questions of inequality, access and power relations. On the other hand, it represents a particular case, as intertwined with the issues of sustainability are those of artistic meaning, reception and cultural practices, and social factors different than in other fields. What is the environmental and social impact of art? Can art be sustainable, both ecologically and socially through time, and how? What can we make of the sustainability of art that is made to last long – sculpture, painting, print, recorded production – as well as of the required preservations techniques and places? And, on the other hand, what is the place of ephemeral art when considering sustainability (in all its aspects): street art, graffiti, art installations, live music and theatre? How can art support transformations towards more sustainable societies? A change in individual and collective practices is needed to achieve the SDGs. What role can or do art and artists play in these transformations? Can artists contribute to shaping alternative paths?

The sexual politics of media production and regulation
This conference will take place at Lille University (France) on Novemebr 3rd and 4th 2020. It aims at building bridges across national and disciplinary contexts by bringing together English and French-speaking scholars who work at the crossroads of media studies and sexuality studies. We call for papers examining the processes through which sexuality is mediated, with special interest in media genres and sectors that may not appear as “sexual” at first sight. Indeed, the queer starting point of this conference is that all media, even those that present as “non-sexual”, are actually actively involved in sexual politics, for instance through the claim of sexual decency. This also implies that all sexualities, even those that present as natural and timeless – starting with heterosexuality –, are actually the product of cultural processes, in which the media play a key role.
