Breaking boundaries: academia, activism and the arts
The international conference Breaking Boundaries: Academia, Activism and the Arts proposes to bring into focus and critically question common grounds and boundaries between and within the Humanities, political activity and aesthetic production.At a time when boundaries are simultaneously questioned and reinforced – for example between geographical territories, political states, public and private spheres, gendered bodies, creative media, theory and practice, local and global, human, non-human and post-human – the question of what such frontiers stand for, and how and why they might be transgressed offers itself for and, indeed, urges discussion.

ReFocus: The Films of Rachid Bouchareb
Rachid Bouchareb was born in Paris in 1953 to Algerian parents and became one of France’s first French filmmakers of North African descent. While his career now spans over thirty years and his diverse films have garnered both mainstream and critical success, including three Oscar nominations, there exists no book-length study (in French or English) on Bouchareb’s body of work. The director’s films are remarkably varied in their themes, formal elements, and narrative settings, from Senegal, England, Vietnam, and Algeria, to France, Belgium, Turkey, and the United States.

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.

Difference, diversity, diffraction: confronting hegemonies and dispossessions
10th European Feminist Research Conference
The overall theme of the conference is “Difference, Diversity, Diffraction: Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions”, which refers to a topic central to Gender Studies: the social construction of difference and inequality on the one hand, and the recognition of marginalised experiences and subject positions on the other. In the face of growing right-wing populist movements, anti-feminist and anti-queer backlash, forced migration, austerity and climate change, these concerns take on renewed relevance. The subtitle “Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions” is a call to reflect on, challenge and defy the hierarchies, subjugations and deprivations that are linked to structural differentiations and to find affirmative ways of dealing with difference , diversity and diffraction. The conference is committed to promoting a feminist anti-racist accessible space for all genders.

Gender, migration and citizenship
Revisiting Southeast Asian international marriages
In the current context of economic crisis, international marriages and family-related migrations are becoming increasingly restricted in many developed countries in the Global North, whereas countries in the Global South are adopting measures to protect local women from the trafficking and sexual exploitation that may arise from international marriages. These regulations of the “marriage market” pose challenges to single men and women looking for partners of a different nationality and for bi-national couples pursuing a family-formation project. For those who successfully immigrated in the country of their partner, social incorporation and cohesive family life are the next challenges in line. To shed light on the multi-faceted life of marriage migrants in the current age of economic crisis and increased border controls, this edited volume will take a closer look at Southeast Asian international marriages. It will also attempt to capture the dynamics of the interaction among macro-, meso- and microsociological factors that shape migrants’ trajectories, while taking into account their subjectivities and agency.

Symposium of The International Society for Cultural History — Lunéville (2012)
Le congrès annuel de l'International Society for Cultural History, organisé au château de Lunéville du 2 au 5 juillet 2012, propose d’engager une réflexion sur l’articulation entre travail et culture, en établissant un dialogue entre différents courants historiographiques, dans une optique résolument transdisciplinaire. Il privilégiera la diversité des communications sur les plans méthodologique, géographique et chronologique. À l’heure où les questions du chômage, des retraites et de la souffrance au travail constituent des enjeux majeurs des sociétés contemporaines, l’histoire culturelle peut apporter un nouveau regard sur la notion de travail. -

Multiculturalism and Gender in France, UK, Canada and the U.S.
Les débats français, britanniques, canadiens et nord-américains sur les tensions entre universalisme et particularisme sont au centre des questions relatives à l’immigration et à la diversité ethno-raciale, religieuse et de genre. Ce colloque se propose tout d’abord d’explorer les manières dont chacun des quatre pays gère les tensions entre multiculturalisme et genre. Ensuite, face aux réponses institutionnelles et aux pressions du groupe, de quelle manière les personnes les plus vulnérables des groupes réagissent-elles ? Enfin, dans quelle mesure les mouvements antiracistes sont-ils les alliés des mouvements féministes ? -

Nouvelles dynamiques migratoires : activités régulières et irrégulières sur le marché du travail européen
Colloque international: Nouvelles dynamiques migratoires: activités régulières et irrégulières sur le marché du travail européen, 6-8 Décembre 2007, Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis, France Appel à contributionsLa volonté affichée au cours des dix dernières années par les Etats de l’Union Européenne, de rendre leurs frontières de moins en moins perméables est en apparente contradiction avec les pratiques ayant cours dans certains secteurs économiques, qui visent à exploiter au mieux les avantages d’une main-d’œuvre supposée plus flexible, plus disponible et moins coûteuse que la main-d’œuvre nationale. Ainsi, les étrangers, globalement mis en situation d’infériorité juridique face aux nationaux et souvent confrontés à des discriminations sur le marché du travail, se tournent fréquemment vers les segments d’emploi les plus précaires, ou bien contribuent au fonctionnement d’activités au sein desquelles se côtoient échanges officiellement régulés et pratiques informelles, voire illégales. Dans les sociétés européennes actuelles, la place de l’étranger ne correspond plus majoritairement à la figure de l’ouvrier non qualifié se situant au plus bas de l’échelle sociale, mais renvoie plutôt aujourd’hui à un ensemble de catégories plus ou moins marginalisées, tenues à l’écart de la protection de l’Etat, sinon passibles de ses sanctions. C’est cet état de fait et ses conséquences sur les mouvements migratoires que nous proposons d’interroger.
