  Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies

  Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective

  This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

  Research in local and regional development in Quebec - is it worth it?

  Association francophone pour le savoir - 86th congress

  À la convergence des approches américaines et françaises, la recherche en développement régional et local a, au Québec, une histoire qui remonte loin. Mais son environnement s’est profondément modifié récemment, à tel titre qu’on peut se demander quelles sont les voies qu’elle devrait prendre pour conserver sa pertinence. Cette table-ronde veut offrir une occasion de rencontre et de discussion pour faire le point sur la situation, identifier les difficultés et les enjeux et indiquer des pistes futures que pourrait prendre la recherche.

  Social relations, racial relations in the three Guianas

  Ce numéro des Cahiers des Amériques latines interroge l’articulation entre les clivages ethno-raciaux et les trajectoires sociales et politiques des trois Guyanes. Il vise à définir quand et comment les relations ethno-raciales constituent un enjeu pertinent de différenciation et de discriminations dans ces trois territoires. Sans nécessairement adopter une perspective comparée et même s’il ne porte que sur l’un de ces pays, les articles de ce dossier appréhenderont ces territoires comme un ensemble dynamique caractérisé par d’importantes circulations transfrontalières (des individus et populations, des marchandises mais aussi des mobilisations, des normes sociales et politiques…).
