  Questioning Spaces of Citizenship in Latin America and the Caribbean

  Latin American History Graduate Student Conference

  Scholars often invoke citizenship as an analytic frame to understand the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. While the concept can encompass a broad range of topics, this conference will focus on the spaces where individuals and groups come into contact with the institutions and symbols of the state. These spaces may be physical places, institutional settings, discursive realms, or other fora. In this graduate student conference, we will ask how such spaces of citizenship are constructed, delimited, and at times rejected, and how the terms of interaction and negotiation in these spaces are defined and re-defined.

  Nativism and globalisation: comparative approaches to the social sciences

  Dans un monde qui se pense de plus en plus sur un mode global, on assiste parallèlement à l’émergence de revendications locales qui recourent à une notion apparemment contradictoire à la mondialisation, à savoir l’autochtonie. Cette dernière se rapporte à la fois à des contextes ethniques (ou ethnicisés), avec l’élaboration de droits aux « peuples autochtones », mais elle est également mobilisée au sein des sociétés occidentales. L’objectif de notre journée vise à croiser des travaux qui portent tant sur les aires culturelles historiquement privilégiées par l’ethnographie que sur les régions plus investies par la sociologie. Cette démarche nous semble heuristiquement féconde pour traiter des points communs comme des différences entre deux procédures de légitimation empruntant finalement aux mêmes catégories de pensée.

  Rethinking the Political and the History of Politics in Chile: Languages, Discourses and Practices of Power

  The objective of this colloquium will be to debate and analyze politics and the political by means of the different forms of language, discourse and practices that intervene in the construction of the social world. There are myriad examples of this in Chilean history. Taking history, political philosophy and political economy as the starting points, we invite doctoral candidates, researchers and academics to participate in this truly trans disciplinary  space of debate, reflection and feedback whose goal is not only to unite a community of researchers into “the political” in the republican period but also to select the best works presented for a future publication in the format of a collective work or a special dossier of a scientific publication.
