The Europe of religions, what realities for what policies?
Le principe de cet ensemble de rencontres consacré aux politiques publiques en Europe vis-à-vis des religions vise à faire un état des lieux sur les phénomènes de recomposition du paysage religieux qui affectent la France ainsi que l’ensemble des États européens et qui présentent un certain nombre de variations en dépit d’un héritage culturel proche. La réflexion proposée ici interrogera, d’une part, les conditions et les modalités d’un « retour du religieux » en Europe, en s’appuyant notamment sur l’analyse des flux migratoires et, d’autre part, les effets de la sécularisation sur l’affirmation et les nouvelles revendications de nombreux groupes de croyances dans l’espace public.

The new horizons of transnational studies
Une pluralité de phénomènes sociaux longtemps analysés principalement par le prisme des États-nations sont désormais revisités dans des contextes plus vastes. Les chercheurs en sciences sociales accordent une importance accrue aux mouvements migratoires, aux dynamiques économiques et aux processus de formation de classe à l’échelle mondiale, aux mobilisations sociales transnationales, à la circulation des idées et des pratiques culturelles - autant de phénomènes qui tendent à « déborder » les frontières nationales. Ces objets de recherche ont contribué au fleurissement des études transnationales au sein de différents champs disciplinaires. En sciences humaines et sociales, les échelles d’analyse se sont diversifiées afin de mettre en lumière des échanges internationaux, des processus « translocaux » et des liens transfrontières de toutes sortes. Notre colloque sondera les tendances récentes des études transnationales et les nouvelles orientations qu’elles pourraient prendre d’un point de vue théorique, méthodologique ou empirique.

Le gouvernement des réfugiés : normes, pratiques, acteurs
Le comité d'histoire de l'Office français de protection des réfugiés et apatrides (OFPRA), en partenariat avec la Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration (CNHI) et les Archives diplomatiques, organise le 12 décembre 2014 un colloque sur la création et les premières années de fonctionnement des institutions de protection des réfugiés, qu'il s'agisse de l'Ofpra ou de ses homologues européens. Après une première journée dédiée aux archives en 2012, ce colloque, inaugurant un cycle intitulé « Le gouvernement des réfugiés », réunit des chercheurs français et étrangers, avec pour ambition de mettre en lumière une histoire méconnue, notamment par des travaux portant sur le contexte politique et institutionnel, les acteurs, les réseaux et les stratégies à l'œuvre.

Les opinions publiques arabes à l’épreuve des révolutions
Médias, élites et societés
Ce colloque porte sur les opinions publiques arabes à l’épreuve des révolutions. Il a pour ambition de réunir, dans une perspective multidisciplinaire, des chercheurs et des professionnels qui s’intéressent aux nouvelles dynamiques politiques, sociales et culturelles dans le monde arabe. Cet intérêt pour l’objet « opinion publique » est l’occasion, non seulement d’interroger ce concept méconnu et de le remettre au centre de l’analyse mais également d’explorer les stratégies déployées par les acteurs (production de discours) pour l’influencer et de connaitre ses spécificités (le clivage féminin / masculin). L’idée est de jeter un regard nouveau, par le bas, sur les processus révolutionnaires qui secouent le monde arabe et de tenir compte de cette variable souvent ignorée pour une meilleure compréhension du phénomène dans sa globalité.

Area Studies / Cultural Areas 2014
12th International Conference of the Institut des Amériques
The scientific visions of the contemporary world – from the early 2000s — are in turmoil, because of the collapse of the geo-political, economic and cultural balances that had organized the post-war period (1945-1990) at the global level, along the notion of cultural areas as defined by Fernand Braudel. In France, the recent creation of GIS (Groupements d’Intérêt Scientifiques, or clusters of scientific interest) in geo-cultural areas (Asia, Africa, the Muslim World, Americas) appears as a major attempt toward a redeployment and restructuring of research areas. To bring answers to these central issues, this Conference can be the occasion for an international scientific reflection on three levels: the genesis of cultural area studies; the scientific institutions in the field of cultural areas; the challenges and opportunities for area studies.

Island Cities and Urban Archipelagos
The ‘Island Cities and Urban Archipelagos’ conference explores the culture, economy, and politics of towns and cities based on islands worldwide. It considers common attributes of island cities, the influence of island status on urban development, and how and why different island cities have developed in different ways. Throughout history, islands have been sites of urban development. Physical separation from the mainland, spatial limitations, and maritime tradition facilitate transport of products and ideas, defence infrastructure, construction of social capital, consolidation of power, formation of cultures, and concentration of population.

África Hoje: tempos e espaços de transformação
Chamada de Resumos: IX Congresso Ibérico de Estudos Africanos
Este congresso, tendo como tema África Hoje – tempos e espaços de transformação, procura refletir sobre as mudanças que ocorreram no contexto africano de expressão ibérica nos últimos 40 anos, que marcam a emergência de cinco novas nações independentes e a etapa do processo colonial em África. Estes processos revolucionários, guerras e episódios de violências e as transições democráticas vão marcar de formal indelével o espaço ibérico – Europa, Américas e Africa, abrindo sucessivos processos de libertação e democratização. Este fórum interdisciplinar explorará as ligações transnacionais, as vozes globais e as práticas cartográficas de poder que se foram desenvolvendo ao longo destas últimas quatro décadas nos espaços heterogéneos que são os países africanos de língua oficial portuguesa e as suas ligações ao resto do mundo.

Karachi : Ordered Disorder and the Struggle for the City
With a population exceeding twenty million, Karachi is one of world’s largest ‘megacities’. It is also one of the most violent. Since the mid-1980s, Karachi has endured endemic political conflict and criminal violence, which revolve around control of the city and its resources (votes, land and bhatta—‘protection’ money). These struggles for the city have become ethnicised. In the process, Karachi, often referred to as a ‘Pakistan in miniature’, has become increasingly fragmented, socially as well as territorially.

Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts
Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20th and 21st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.

African students in the USSR and other former Eastern Bloc countries (1960–1990)
From national histories to an international context
On the one hand, we need to reexamine the evolution of Soviet politics and USSR strategies for cooperation, especially with African countries, development aid in the broader geopolitical context in which academic and cultural exchange programs, and the circulation of students and elites took place.On the other hand, we have to link the mobilities of students and elites to the evolution of national politics pursued by African countries, especially as far as their academic, economic, and industrial policies are concerned.The goal is also to compare this dual historic contextualization of mobilities of the students of the African countries to the historical changes that took place in the relations that such countries had with former colonizing countries after winning their independence. Finally, all of this research will be analyzed in the light of the history of the knowledge and scientific fields involved and cultural representations of Africa developed in partner-country societies.

Towards a history of children's rights in the 20th century
Transnational approaches
This symposium aims to explore how mobilization, knowledge, norms and institutions designed to further children's rights were articulated within transnational space. These rights straddle different fields: law and justice, social policy, education and leisure, public health and humanitarian intervention, etc. The symposium plans to examine the social practices and the construction of the sphere of child advocacy. It also aims to reconstitute the historical experience of the actors, in particular the role of the children themselves in constituting their rights by marshaling the concept of citizenship.

Legal cooperation from the 16th century to the present day
Between state sovereignty and "public security"
Si depuis une vingtaine d'années, l'histoire du droit de punir fournit l'un des chantiers les plus féconds de l'historiographie, les normes et les pratiques de la coopération judiciaires entre les Etats souverains demeurent encore largement méconnues. De la construction de l'Etat moderne jusqu'aux processus contemporains d'intégration, la journée d'études est consacrée au temps long de la coopération judiciaire et à tous les champs d'intervention qui la rendent possible (justice, diplomatie, police).
