  Contemporary African and Black Diasporic Spaces in Europe

  "Open Cultural Studies" journal

  This special issue of Open Cultural Studies explores the social and cultural spaces in which identifications with African and black diaspora(s) become articulated, (re)negotiated and established as a field of collective agency with transformative power in European societies. It will argue that  African diaspora communities and cultures in Europe are constructed not only by individuals’ engagements with Africa and its global diaspora, or mediatized and commercialized notions of Africanness/blackness, but also through collective agency aiming at promoting change in European societies shadowed by the normative whiteness, nationalist discourses and policies, human rights violations and overt racism.

  Islam and Regional Cultures in Pakistan

  Journée du CEIAS

  With the hope of throwing new light on the transformations of Pakistani society, this one-day conference intends to move the focus away from two dominant discourses on Pakistan : that is, on the one hand, the security discourse of political and media circles that reduces Pakistan to a state on the fringe of failure, trying to cope with radical Islam and terrorism; and, on the other hand, Pakistan’s official nationalism, which rests on a unitary conception of the nation that disregards the cultural and religious diversity of the country, stressing instead Islam and Urdu as national unifiers while relegating regional cultures to folklore. This conference hopes to partly fill this gap by inviting participants to illustrate the complex, lived experience of Islam in Pakistan, the identity component of religious practices that do not fit in the dominant norm, and their inscription in local political and ethnic relations. Papers would ideally use first-hand observation and/or analyses of cultural productions to examine circumscribed case studies.

  Les minorités ethniques ou nationales. Entre renouvellement et permanences

  Revue Belgéo

  Les coordinateurs de ce numéro de Belgéo souhaitent réfléchir sur le thème des « minorités ethniques ou nationales » deux concepts plurivoques entendus ici de façon souple, mais inscrits dans la lignée de P. Poutignat et J. Streiff-Fénart décrivant des groupes qui « n’existent que par la croyance subjective qu’ont leurs membres de former une communauté ». Dialectiquement liée à l’existence d’une majorité, la minorité — population en demande de reconnaissance d’une différence — est « ethnique » éventuellement d’un point de vue racial mais surtout par l’existence de « marqueurs ethniques » (langue, religion, culture, ou autres) qui lui sont spécifiques. La volonté de distinction implique reconnaissance dans la loi comme dans les discours. La façon de nommer les lieux, les individus ; les statuts accordés ou revendiqués ; la visibilité dans l’espace politique et social sont autant d’éléments caractérisant l’altérité.

  Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe

  We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational.

  Sound, Space and Memory: Ways of Emotionalizing and instrumentalizing Sound

  Panel of the 10th SIEF congress Lisbon 2011 - People Make Places - ways of feeling the world

  This is a call for papers for a Panel inclued in the SIEF Congress 2011 in Lisbon. Globalization and mobility have remodeled the relations between sound and space through emotionalization and instrumentalization. The panel aims to highlight the new connections between sound and space, taking into account the dynamics of detaching and repositioning sound and place today.
