Dilemmas of political representation
The journal Snodi. Public and Private in Contemporary History will devote its 13th issue to the theme of political representation; we invite submissions of papers which address in particular the dilemmas, the conflicts and the tensions that can arise between duties of representation and individual choices and inclinations. We are interested in explorations of the ways in which the conflict between the "self" and the "collective self" has broken out within the political sphere at different stages of the modern era, from the late eighteenth century to the present, and in differentgeographical contexts.

Ethnic or national minorities. Between renewal and permanence
Belgéo Review
The coordinaters of this issue of he Belgéo review plan to reflect about the "ethnic or national minorities", two polysemous concepts here perceived in a way opened to interpretation even if they are inscribed in P. Poutignat and J. Streiff-Fénart’s definition, when they state that these groups “only exist thanks to the subjective belief their members share that they constitute a community.” The minority group is dialectically linked to the existence of a majority. It can be said “ethnic” because of racial parameters but above all because of the presence of linguistic, religious, cultural or other discriminating and specific markers. The will to be different expresses itself in various ways – instutional or not – and leads to very diverse situations, located between resistance and cooperation, forced integration and autonomy. The way to name places, individuals, but also their status – granted or claimed for – their visibility in the social and political space, are elements characterizing the notion of “otherness”.

Novas perspectivas sobre o poder no Portugal contemporâneo
As figuras do poder tenderam a ser identificadas por historiadores com os poucos homens e menos mulheres que ao longo dos tempos protagonizaram o governo dos Estados. As biografias de grandes dirigentes e as prosopografias das elites políticas têm-se multiplicado nas bibliotecas académicas e nos escaparates das livrarias. Contra esta história dos grandes líderes, fizeram-se ouvir, todavia, críticas historiográficas que têm contribuído para uma possível redefinição do entendimento e estudo das relações de poder ao longo da história.

Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe
We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational. -

Popular culture and protest repertoires in 20th century in Europe
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scholars from different subject areas –historians, social anthropologists, political scientists and social movement scholars – to reflect in an interdisciplinary and comparative European perspective upon the influence of popular cultures and old repertoires of contention (rough music, mock trials, mock funerals, ride on donkeys, shaving, effigy burning or hanging, etc.) on modern protest. -

Populism in the concrete sense
Comparative ethnographical perspectives around a controversial notion
Le populisme en tant que champ d'étude constitue un domaine profondément clivé entre deux types de travaux : ceux qui mobilisent la notion en tant que concept opératoire permettant de mieux comprendre le phénomène étudié, et ceux qui en contestent l'usage. Face à cet antagonisme difficilement surmontable en apparence, notre parti-pris consiste à réinterroger les pratiques dites « populistes » afin de repenser la conceptualisation de la notion. Indissociablement, nous voudrions également réfléchir aux processus de labellisation qui conduisent les acteurs politiques – mais aussi les chercheurs – à recourir à cette notion, que ce soit pour la revendiquer pour soi afin d'établir un lien symbolique avec « le peuple » ou tenter de disqualifier un concurrent. -
