  International Family Migration and Normative Languages

  International Sociological Association, Congress 2018. Panel Research Committee 25, Language and Society

  Family reunification, mixed marriages and other forms of international family migration are highly politicized topics depicted as threats for national identity. In some countries, the conditions to access the family rights have been reformed complicating the processes of applications for visa, residence permit and nationality. In other countries, migrant and binational families encounter administrative and religious constraints to formalise their unions, to pass on nationality and rights to the children or simply to be socially accepted. This session explores the language employed to define family migration ‒ and the social-administrative processes that go with ‒ by politicians, media, bureaucrats, civil society actors and by family members too. The session welcomes papers from a broad empirical perspectives that explore the changing (or the persistence) of normative languages related to family migration over time.

  L’histoire du maintien de la paix : nouvelles perspectives

  Les opérations de maintien de la paix canadiennes, mais aussi mondiales, ont connu une grande évolution depuis 1956. Les historiens, se basant sur les documents maintenant disponibles,  se penchent sur l’histoire des opérations et proposent de nouvelles perspectives et analyses concernant ses origines, sa chronologie, ses succès et ses échecs. Si l’expression « maintien de la paix » est contestée aujourd’hui, son histoire nous amène à réfléchir sur l’apport du maintien de la paix dans l’histoire militaire et politique du Canada, comme dans celle des autres pays participants ou ayant été l’objet d’opérations de cette nature sur son territoire.

  Participatory Media and Moral Panic

  Panel on "Participatory Media and Moral Panic" at the Social Media and Society conference

  The transformation of the media landscape invites us to rethink the dialectic between "media" and "moral panic", by focusing on the ways in which participatory media enables the public’s participation in moral panic. The coproduction of moral panic, via media participation, can be analyzed to document how individuals, through their relational links, trigger, maintain and propagate moral panic or how these forms of moral regulation affect sociability, notably those stigmatized by the controversial subject. This may also allow the study of how mediatization of social relations, stemming from participatory media, leads to renegotiating a number of democratic balances. These include the relationship between private and public spheres as well as the role of publics in constituting collective dynamics, such as the formation of public problems.
