  Merleau-Ponty et la technique

  “Chiasmi International” n° 22, 2020

  The question of technology is not often directly addressed by Merleau-Ponty and is rarelythematized as such. The philosopher does not explicitly elaborate what today we would define as aphilosophy of technology or a theory of techniques. And yet, this issue often appears in thebackground of his analysis and sometimes it even constitutes the pivot of his questioning of themutual implication of the sense and the sensible, nature and culture.

  Queering Friendship | citizenship, care and choice

  Intimate Final Conference

  Contrary to individualization theories that suggest the impoverishment of human relationships, theories of relationality recognize the increasing centrality of informal networks of solidarity and care. In this debate, friendship plays a fundamental role. The mutual implications of intimacy and citizenship need to be addressed, exploring the extent to which issues of LGBTQ friendship matter (or not) in being recognized as citizens. The centrality of friendship is even more striking when considering personal lives of trans and non-binary people, but also lesbian women, gay men and bisexual people, LGBTQ migrants and other intersecting, vulnerable groups. In particular, the way transgender people actively provide and receive different care between friends offers invaluable contributions to political debates and conceptual discussions around friendship and care as a key aspect of LGBTQ everyday life. Unveiling the richness of the blurred spaces of intimacy, the ways in which LGBTQ people produce alternatives to family-based forms of cohabitation are also of critical importance. LGBTQ lived experiences further contribute to destabilizing the family/friends and public/private binaries, whilst challenging heterocisnormative expectations about who legitimately belongs to the intimate sphere and who remains excluded and/or invisible.

  Multi.Pluri.Trans. Emerging Fields in Educational Ethnography

  The conference picks up recent tendencies in ethnographic research that respond to the diversifying social conditions of educational practice by addressing issues such as the translocality and pluricentricity, the multilingual, intercultural as well as multimodal nature of educational realities and the complex relations between local practices and national / global transformations and policies in the fields of education and social work. In different formats of contributions we will present and discuss theoretical and methodological conceptualizations, empirical research findings, as well as questions of research practice and methods.

  Anthropology, Culture and Cognition. Freud, a century after Totem and Taboo

  Although hardly avoiding intense criticism by anthropologists such as Boas and Malinowski, Freud’s theories did, however, have a profound impact upon anthropology, receiving an enthusiastic reception among Culture and Personality theorists during the middle decades of the 20th century. Leading anthropologists of this trend relied on Freud’s contributions to develop approaches based on the relationship between culture and personality, expanding their views on the importance of culture in personality formation, on the constitution of culture patterns and on the formulation of national character. One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion.

  Quarantième anniversaire de la revue Ethnologie française

  Colloque Ethnologie française et Association européenne des anthropologues sociaux

  À l’occasion du 40e anniversaire de Ethnologie française, revue publiée par l’Institut national des Sciences humaines et sociales (CNRS), La Société d’ethnologie française et l’Association européenne des anthropologues sociaux (EASA) organisent un colloque international les 21 et 22 juin 2011. Afin de mesurer le rôle de la revue dans le domaine de l’ethnologie de la France et de l’Europe, ce colloque international propose de jeter un regard réflexif et interdisciplinaire sur quelques thèmes dont Ethnologie française a été l’initiatrice. Il s’agira de croiser le regard d’auteurs dont l’œuvre a fait date et de plus jeunes chercheurs travaillant dans le même domaine, parmi d’autres, le corps, la parenté, la religion, les migrations, l’identité nationale. Façon de revisiter des thèmes et des objets autour desquels la discipline s’est structurée, qui ont connu d’incessantes évolutions et permettent de mieux aborder les changements contemporains.
