Organization and Movement

L’organisation est un espace de changement. Les actions qui s’y conduisent en font un mode de devenir. Elles appellent alors une conception dynamique de l’organisation. Elles invitent à une approche processuelle qui change nos façons de penser les pratiques de travail, notre relation au temps et à l’espace, à l’ordre et au désordre. Cette journée d’étude sera l’occasion d’entendre des chercheurs canadiens et européens s’interroger sur les modalités de l’émergence des sociomatérialités organisationnelles, mettre concrètement en évidence les interactions et les processus constitutifs de l’organisation ainsi que l’improbable dialogique entre destruction et création comme fondements de l’innovation organisationnelle.

"African Churches" in Europe. Mediating Imaginations

"African Churches" have been present in Europe for some decades now, but their developments have taken a new dimension with the intensification of African migrations to Europe in the 80s and 90s. Beyond their doctrinal and institutional diversity and divergences, these churches have in common to be carried by African populations who all too often remain stigmatized and marginalized at the social, political and juridical levels. From the diverse issues of identity, networks and circulations of religious actors, relations to the public sphere, and gender, contributions to the conference will seek to show how African Christian worlds of Europe are now situated at the very heart of dynamics of reconfiguration of African imaginations of Europe, but also of European imaginations of Africa.

The Globalization of Production Models and Innovation in Emerging Economies

Comparative Research on Subnational Industrial Policies

This seminar will bring together scholars examining research themes pertaining to the evolution of production models in regions of India and China, in relation to the progressive opening of these large economies to trade and FDI. Of particular interest are industrial and innovation policies emerging at the state or provincial level and the manner in which these public policies interact with firm-level strategies in pursuit of more broad-based development goals. Apart from the keynote session, five thematic sessions are planned: Upgrading Regional Industries in India and China; Subnational Industrial Policies in India and China; Social Dimensions of Regional Industrial Performance; Articulating industrial policies between central and local levels; Industrial Districts and Regional Policies.

Social Critique and Mobilization: A Dialogue between French and Taiwanese Sociologists

This conference will try to uncover the assumptions about social critique and mobilization and how sociology makes these things social. To say it more concretely, we will try to share our different fieldwork approach and theoretical understanding of widely used concepts such as, for example, civil society, labor movements, environmental protest… We will try to analyze the interactions between social protest and the media, the state, political parties, industries, etc.

Call for papers - Early modern

Art and Sociability in the Eighteenth-Century, 1715-1815

Au XVIIIe siècle, la sphère publique émergente, composée de lieux comme les académies, les salons littéraires ou bien les loges maçonniques, a constitué la scène sur laquelle s'est jouée la sociabilité. La publication de Thomas Crow, Painters and Public Life in Eighteenth-Century Paris, a incité les historiens de l’art à comprendre le rôle des artistes dans la sphère publique. Ce colloque a pour but d’analyser la sociabilité dans le monde artistique du XVIIIe siècle à travers le prisme des pratiques sociales. Le colloque aura lieu à l’I. N. H. A., à Paris, les 23-24-25 juin 2011 et sera ouvert aux différentes disciplines issues des sciences humaines : histoire de l’art, histoire, anthropologie, philosophie, littérature et sociologie puisqu’il s’agit de confronter les différentes approches de ces disciplines pour traiter notre sujet et explorer les relations qu’elles entretiennent les unes avec les autres.

Workshop on Palestinian Refugee Camps in Jordan

A Lasting Temporariness: Population, Space and Social Practices, 1990-2010

This one day workshop will focus on the social and spatial organization of the camps, the social practices of their inhabitants, and the influences, interpretations and effects of what we call a lasting temporariness on the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. Due to their significance and status, the camps represent key social spaces for exploring patterns of interaction between different religious groups and national minorities, for examining governance, for studying development and planning issues (infrastructure and services), for mapping the constitution of territories and identities, and for analyzing the development of an intricate network of economic and political connections inside and outside of their spaces.

Cocoon communities: Togetherness in the 21st century

In this volume, we wish to look at a special case of togetherness, which we propose to call cocoon communities. Cocoon communities neither represent nor correspond to the ideal-type of community. At first sight, they do not seem to have much in common with communal characteristics. Such communities may actually be invisible for outsiders, yet a closer look might reveal some substantial similarities with ‘canonical’ forms of community.

International Political Sociology (IPS)

IPS Doctoral Workshops

The Doctoral Workshops initiative is the result of the cooperation in the areas of research and graduate teaching between Sciences Po, PUC-Rio, King's College and Univesity of Victoria during the last three years. It represents an attempt to enhance and structure the ongoing cooperation between these institutions to create the core of a network of institutions promoting a different way to do and to learn International Relations called International Political Sociology.The workshop will investigate the large spectrum of methods going beyond or against the diktat of rational choice theory in IR, ranging from discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, actor-network theory, approaches of limits and boundaries, genetic structuralism, socio-history. The workshop will gather researchers and students who, in the course of their research, are facing the problems posed by the impossibility of shifting from the “national” to the “global” and who consider the international as a central question that determines the conditions of possibility of political practices.

Bringing Public Organization and Organizing Back In

The Sixth Organization Studies Summer Workshop

As a field of research, organization studies is interdisciplinary, even ecletic, favoring multiple objects, methods, and levels of analysis. Yet, over time, it appears that some of the disciplines involved in this field have grown increasingly unaware of one another. Such is the case for studies and research dealing with public policymaking, public administration, and political regimes. This call for papers and workshop wish to break down these disciplinary silos, by putting the emphasis on the reconfiguration of knowledge frontiers and research agendas between public administration, policy making, and organization studies, as well as between public, non-profit and business organizations and organizing.
