  Language and alterity. Limits and excesses in the construction of meaning

  Journal Forma

  The editorial board of "Forma. Revista d’Humanitats" journal is pleased to inform that the call for the reception of articles, reviews, critics and states of the Art for their publication in the next monographic number: Language and alterity. Limits and excesses in the construction of meaning is currently open. In this number we expect to stimulate a debate within the humanistic disciplines revolving around problématiques stirred by the types of comprehension and artistic representation, the experiences and languages of the ineffable, poetic obscurity, autonomy and transgression of the resources of artistic expression, excess and horror. These experiences and languages, in their transgression and excess of the artistic normative structures, promote studies concerning their difference and alterity in relation to the traditional models of comprehension and representation.

  Desertions, Counter-movements and Forced Mobilities in the Contemporary City

  First International Conference on Anthropology of Urban Conflict

  Social conflict is inherent in urban society in general. Social conflict is a historic constant that makes cities the epicenter of revolt in all of its forms. Despite our attempts to systematically classify the varied logics that lay behind existing disparate scales of uprising, e.g. large mass movements, small groups organized around blueprint actions, or individuals that quietly rebelled with daily contempt, to date it has not been possible to bring them all under a common systemic defiance. Political movements vs. social movements, peaceful vs. violent actions, organization vs. spontaneity, etc., these are old dichotomies overcome by the force of the present situation. So, how does conflict come about in contemporary cities? The varied kinds of agitation featured in the current crisis are a good example of the different types of rebellion against public order, the norms that sustain it, and the authorities that implement them. From a demonstration against government cuts to apolitical graffiti somewhere on the urban fringe, from insubordination against mortgage repossessions to the refusal to pay for the use of public transport, from symbolic happenings performed in public spaces to the defense, at any cost, of squatted housing, of neighborhood resistance against evictions or of the opposition to identification raids on undocumented migrants.

  Call for papers - History

  Construction and Projection of Personal Memoirs in Modern and Early Modern Europe

  Call for Posters

  L’idée d’organiser un congrès en 2011 en Catalogne sur la mémoire et les livres de raison personnels provient de la demande des chercheurs eux-mêmes. Depuis des années, ils insistent sur la nécessité d’une rencontre internationale comme celle de Barcelone eu égard à l’importance du sujet de recherche ainsi qu’à la nécessité d’une approche comparative après la parution de nombreuses publications et de nouveautés nationales et internationales.Un des buts de ce congrès est d’établir des parallélismes ou des confrontations thématiquesentre les espaces européens où la mémoire personnelle écrite a été fondamentale et continue à l’être, comme c’est le cas de l’Italie, l’Angleterre, une partie de la France, la Péninsule Ibérique, etc. Il s'agit de fixer une vue d’ensemble sur la qualité et sur la quantité des sujets les plus représentatifs autour de la construction et de la projection de la mémoire personnelle en Europe pendant les temps modernes.
