  Ethnic or national minorities. Between renewal and permanence

  Belgéo Review

  The coordinaters of this issue of he Belgéo review plan to reflect about the "ethnic or national minorities", two polysemous concepts here perceived in a way opened to interpretation even if they are inscribed in P. Poutignat and J. Streiff-Fénart’s definition, when they state that these groups “only exist thanks to the subjective belief their members share that they constitute a community.” The minority group is dialectically linked to the existence of a majority. It can be said “ethnic” because of racial parameters but above all because of the presence of linguistic, religious, cultural or other discriminating and specific markers. The will to be different expresses itself in various ways – instutional or not – and leads to very diverse situations, located between resistance and cooperation, forced integration and autonomy. The way to name places, individuals, but also their status – granted or claimed for – their visibility in the social and political space, are elements characterizing the notion of “otherness”.

  (Anti-)racism and critical interventions in Europe

  Social sciences, policy developments and social movements

  In contemporary Europe, we are witnessing the vanishing of anti-racism from political cultures and academic discourses, in favour of an approach that intervenes on immigrants and minorities themselves via public rhetoric on integration. This conference will thus bring together an international community engaging in debates on racism and anti-racism to discuss the analytical approaches and main findings of the European research project TOLERACE - The semantics of tolerance and (anti-)racism in Europe: public bodies and civil society in comparative perspective, coordinated by the Centre for Social Studies.

  Alternative self-representation? Ethnic minority media, between hegemony and resistance

  Ce colloque international s’intéresse aux personnes qui font l’expérience de la déterritorialisation / reterritorialisation et qui développent ou maintiennent des relations sociales à l’intérieur mais aussi au-delà des cadres stato-nationaux, par le biais des médias des minorités ethniques. L’un des objectifs est de comprendre le rôle croissant de la communication médiatique dans la définition des significations, des usages et des appropriations des espaces culturel, social et religieux. Quel rôle jouent les médias des minorités ethniques en imaginant et en mobilisant de nouvelles communautés d’appartenance, ou en les transformant dans le contexte de la mondialisation et de la diversité culturelle ?
