Violence: An international journal

Violence: An international journal is launching a call for papers on the theme “Violence and environmental crisis”. Can we speak about violence when describing biodiversity loss, the destruction of natural sanctuaries like Amazonia and the Great Barrier Reef, or when observing the spillage of illegally polluting wastes? How long is the chain of violence related to environmental crisis? And who are the perpetrators and the victims of such violence? In which way can we speak about violence, and can this violence be legitimated or condemned? All this raises theoretical, normative, linguistic and empirical questions to be discussed in the articles fostered by this call.

Managing hunger and satiety

Consumers and producers' perspectives

The eight edition of the International Research Symposium aims to share up-todate research on managing hunger and satiety both from the consumers and from the producer’s perspectives. This day will be devoted to address appetite and food intake mechanisms in relation to pleasure and health in a product context or a food service context. Normal and healthy eating will be discussed as well as some mentions of overeating and obesity or under eating and denutrition. A range of speakers from both academic and industrial sectors will share their knowledge and understanding of hunger and satiety and their relation to eating behaviors. The issue will thus be addressed on both physiological, psychological and social levels.

Doing Empirical Research on Sexual Diversities: Methodological and Ethical Challenges

CFP INSEP2013 - Special Session

This session is part of the INSEP2013 Conference – The Value(s) of Sexual Diversity. The conference focuses on the legal, political and ethical boundaries of diverse sexualities, “troubling” current assumptions, dispositions and claims for the boundaries between legitimacy and illegitimacy in diverse sexual identities, sub‐cultures and practices in both national and international contexts. We welcome paper proposals reflecting on the ethical and methodological criticalities associated with doing empirical research on sexual diversities and (in) sexual (sub)cultures.

Producing knowledge, governing populations

Anthropology, science studies and health policies

Le colloque « produire du savoir, gouverner des populations » propose d’ouvrir, ou plutôt d’élargir un espace d’échanges entre tenants de ces deux courants que sont l’anthropologie de la santé et les science studies autour de l’evidence based-medicine : quels sont ses apports, ses limites, mais aussi ses contraintes ? Comment vient-elle chaque jour produire, imposer ou recomposer les normes et les standards de soins, redéfinir nos représentations de la santé, du corps, des maux qui nous affligent ou changer nos systèmes de valeur ou les politiques qui définissent les actions mises en place par nos systèmes de santé ?
