  (Dist)danses

  Danser à distance, danser en ligne

  L’année 2020, marquée par les confinements et les protocoles sanitaires d’isolement et de distanciation sociale dus à la pandémie de Covid-19, a vu proliférer les « (dist)danses », terme par lequel nous référons aux pratiques dansées à distance, notamment celles médiatisées par des vidéos diffusées en ligne : jams collectives en temps réel sur Zoom, entraînements et cours dispensés sur Instagram et Facebook, flash-mobs lors des applaudissements de soignants à 20h, créations audiovisuelles de chorégraphies partagées, ou encore challenges sur TikTok. Mais si les (dist)danses se développent quand, pour des raisons sanitaires, politiques, religieuses ou autres, les pratiques de danse sont limitées voire interdites, elles ne représentent pas seulement un mode « par défaut » ou « de repli ». Elles constituent des choix, des opportunités et des ressources saisies par les danseurs∙euses en dehors de toute « crise » ou situation désignée comme telle.

  Death and Migration: Perspectives from the Post-Soviet Space

  This dossier of Revue européenne des migrations internationales proposes to take up a research theme that has undergone a strong renewal of interest in recent years, that of death and migration. This dossier aims to shed light on an area which has been little studied from this angle (the post-Soviet space) and to develop an approach which focuses on the management of bodies 'dead in the distance' (deaths in migration, deaths due to migration). This dossier also focuses on the effects of a certain proximity to death on the practices of foresight and mutual aid (when they exist) in the migratory context, as well as their impacts on migration as a whole. Two thematic axes will guide the contributions: the first concerns the practical modalities of the management of dead bodies abroad; the second concerns mitigating and solidarity practices in relation to the proximity of death in migration.

  Disability and geography: spatialities of disability and social and professional integration

  8th EUGEO Congress on the Geography of Europe

  The disability rights movement laid the foundation for the current development of disability studies.  A number of geography-based studies have been part of this stream of research since the 1990s. From different theoretical perspectives, they aim to study the links between disability and spatial injustice or to explore the sensitive dimension of the spatial relationships of people with disabilities. This EUGEO 2021 session wishes to highlight all the work that considers disability and its issues through a spatial approach. Whether the study of the mobility of people with disabilities or the analysis of their objective and subjective links with space, work that analyzes the spatialities of disability in their multiplicity and diversity will be particularly appreciated. With the aim of understanding to what extent space can be an asset or a hindrance for people with disabilities, this session also encourages work that questions the different logics of social and professional integration and in particular the influence of the living environment in these logics.

  Witchcraft and moral harassment : forms of insidious violence

  A comparative study of witchcraft and bullying has never been attempted, although these two forms of insidious violence seem comparable. This workshop aims to show, by mobilizing the tools of clinical psychology and social sciences, how insidious violence develops as a system with real agents in certain contemporary societies (in Europe and outside Europe), but also in the form of a collective belief in the existence of essentially harmful characters (the “narcissistic pervert”). Witchcraft and harassment thus seem to be organized around a distribution of roles that could be compared: the culprit (sorcerers / stalkers), the experts (counter-sorcerers / psychological or legal experts), witnesses / accusers and the victims. Basically, there are many proven attempts at bewitchment and harassment, but also situations of suspicion of bewitchment or harassment, fueled by socially constructed representations. In other words, we start from the idea that insidious violence can be both a practice of actual aggression and a system of interpreting signs supported by a community.

  Domestic accumulation, decluttering, and the stuff of kinship in anthropological perspective

  We invite submissions of abstracts considering the following sorts of questions: What is the relationship between storage and the labor of kinship? What kinds of possessions are sources of obligation? Which are experienced as social or animate beings? What social practices and spatial processes surround waste, excess, and the riddance of objects from the home? How might local ethnographic concepts like hau orbrol inform the anthropological understanding of attachment to possessions, recycling, or the circulation of second-hand objects? When is accumulation a valued social practice, and when is it morally suspect? How is the space of storage constructed in relationship to the social space of the home, and how might this reflect on the local category of stored things? We invite authors to consider how practices such as storage, stockpiling, and purging of belongings can be approached anthropologically in order to provide both nuanced ethnographic depth and broader cross-cultural and historical perspective. Interdisciplinary perspectives are also welcome.

  Tourism and gender in the world: transversal questions and local specificities

  8th edition of the Champlain conferences

  Le colloque « Tourisme et genre dans le monde : questions transversales et spécificités locales » souhaite répondre à un triple objectif. D’abord, visibiliser les travaux sur le tourisme qui tiennent compte du genre. Ceci en soulevant les questions des pratiques touristiques, du travail des femmes et des hommes dans le tourisme, des inégalités qui perdurent dans les parcours professionnels, etc. La question des sexualités et du tourisme, encore peu traitée scientifiquement et pourtant fortement médiatisée, que ce soit en lien avec la prostitution ou le tourisme sexuel, sera un axe important qui permettra de déconstruire certaines représentations. Enfin, au-delà des expériences de terrain questionnant le tourisme et le genre dans le monde, des communications et échanges sont aussi attendus au sujet du monde arabe.
