1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)
The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

Creating ruins or showing ruins in cinema
Ce thème nous est suggéré par l’action actuelle, à l’échelle mondiale, de la démolition et de l’abattement des statues, des stèles dans un geste de destruction volontaire des vestiges, symboles et icônes du passé liés à l’histoire coloniale et impériale, acte que l’on peut considérer comme une mise en ruines en tant que telle. Pouvait-on imaginer une liquidation des ruines-vestiges du passé pour signifier la ruine d’un passé ?

The decolonization of museology: museums, mixing and myths of origin
43rd Annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) Symposium
ICOFOM is proposing a symposium around two themes inspired by the process of renewing the definition of the museum and the major trends that contribute to transforming museums (Mairesse, 2015; 2016). These two central themes raise many questions about the primary mission of the museum. Decolonization is at the heart of the fundamental questioning of the social function of the museum. Consequently, these are the discourses, or even the myths of origin of the nations, that are contested.

Peace, times and territories in the age of contemporary dynamics
Adilaaku Journal, volume 2, issue 2 — Law, politics, and society in Africa
Les guerres d’intervention sous fond de démocratisation et de lutte contre le terrorisme, le génocide rwandais et bien d’autres conflits inscrivent la guerre comme fondement de notre modernité. Les sociétés africaines sont prises dans les rets de cette violence et la paix apparaît dans ce contexte comme la chose du monde la moins partagée alors qu’elle est, pour la plupart des États au monde, une condition sine qua non de la survie de l’humanité et de tout développement durable. Dans une Afrique tourmentée par des crises sociopolitiques, la quête de la paix à l’intérieur des pays et au-delà des frontières est permanente.

Resistance to Order and Authority (ROAR)
CEU/ELTE/Masaryk PhD Conference 2020
Religion has served to legitimize political power, but it has also been a basis for resistance against order and authority. Be it the Maccabean revolt, Gandhi's practice of non-violence resistance, contemporary neo-pagan religions, or the counter-system movements portrayed by Mark Juergensmeyer in his 2001 book Terror in the Mind of God, religious beliefs have motivated people to reject social order that they deem as unjust, and possibly rise against it. Even in today’s secularized societies, religion has served as the ground for social movements and manifestations addressing pressing socioeconomic threats such as climate change, social inequality, authoritarian governments and minority discrimination. These observations have encouraged new trends in scholarly debate, especially regarding the emergence of alternative religious ideas and rituals in modern societies. old and new religious convictions legitimized various resistance movements among different communities? Which causes have influenced violent mobilizations against established social order, non-violent struggle, or the establishment of alternative community frameworks? What can these movements and ideas tell us about the role that religion plays today both in secularized and non-secularized societies?

Demobilising the popular classes
Espaces et sociétés Journal
Dans ce numéro d'Espaces et Sociétés, nous souhaitons analyser la dimension spatiale des obstacles et des stratégies visant à empêcher la mobilisation des classes populaires, que ce soit avant ou après que celle-ci prenne forme. La notion de démobilisation permet d’interroger de concert les pratiques qui contraignent ou empêchent l’émergence de l’action collective et les formes symboliques et matérielles visant à entraver et réprimer les mobilisations. On peut penser par exemple, d’un côté, aux stratégies de stigmatisation ou de délégitimation, aux pratiques paternalistes, clientélistes ou de cooptation ou, de l’autre, aux modes de répression, directs ou indirects, policiers ou judiciaires.
