« Condition humaine / conditions politiques », Revue internationale d’anthropologie du politique
This special issue of Condition humaine / Conditions politiques is grounded in a shared observation : for several years now, a body of anthropological research—often described as “anarchist”, though not forming a homogeneous current—has contributed to a common shift in perspective. Speaking of “anarchist anthropologies” is therefore not an attempt to establish a new school or to stabilize a doctrinal definition of anarchism, but rather to open a pluralistic space for discussion around research practices that concretely experiment with forms of non-domination, autonomy, and coexistence.

Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
This conference aims to study the history and evolution of two classical Greek concepts, anarchy and polyarchy, whose legacy, considered from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, unfolds at the crossroads between politics and religion. It will explore the transmission of the classical Greek, and particularly Platonic, condemnation of anarchy and polyarchy, and its connection with the apologia for monarchy in political and philosophical thought during the Hellenistic and Roman periods and in Judeo-Christian thought.

Artificial Intelligence: From Militarization to Peacebuilding
“Communications” Journal (2028)
The journal Communications is launching a call for papers for a special issue on alternative approaches to artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on peacebuilding and breaking away from the militarization and surveillance logics associated with AI, robotics, and automation. As a dual-use technology with both civilian and military applications, AI is shaped by the military-industrial complex. Contributions will seek to analyze geopolitical, epistemic, and economic power relations, while advancing social justice and sustainability. The call encourages an interdisciplinary approach, including philosophy, sociology, history, STS, anthropology, political science, political economy, and humanities.

Gender and Feminist Perspectives in Southeast Asia
Thematic issue, Moussons No. 49
This issue of Moussons invites a collective examination of gender relations, feminist mobilisations, and policies promoting the rights of women and gender minorities in Southeast Asia, by exploring their translations, tensions, and effects across different scales. This issue aims to contribute to a situated and decolonial reading of gender policies in Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on interactions between global dynamics and local configurations, between normative institutions and collective mobilisations, and between colonial legacies and contemporary transformations. It seeks to foreground the plurality of feminist and gender-minority voices and epistemologies in the region, by supporting the translation and circulation of work produced in Southeast Asian vernacular languages into French or English, in order to foster an inclusive intellectual dialogue.

It provides a venue for critical dialogue across disciplines concerned with the persistence of colonial relations within justice systems, while foregrounding the forms of knowledge and approaches that contest or transform them. Core concerns include social justice, alternative systems, care for marginalized populations, recognition of structural violence and reparations for victims.

Rite et économie : l’épaisseur matérielle des rituels
Rituality and Economy: The Material Thickness of Rituals
In the social sciences, the study of rituals has long been the prerogative of sociology and anthropology of religions, which have studied their role in the production of meaning and in relation to the notion of symbolic efficacy. The field of “ritual studies” has broadened this area of research by focusing on secular or religious, initiatory or syncretic rituals. The economic dimension of rituals has been a central subject of analysis since the beginnings of social and cultural anthropology. Economic anthropology, combined with ritual studies, offers us a promising framework for deepening these questions. We wish to go beyond the classical opposition between the economic and the symbolic to focus on objects, bodies, and places and their ritual as well as economic involvement.

Behind the Scenes of Journals in African Studies
Cahiers d’Études africaines
This special issue of Cahiers d’Études africaines seeks to examine academic writing and publishing within the scientific editorial system of African studies, both today and in the past. Reflexive and critical, but without being strictly introspective, since it is not solely concerned with the case of Cahiers, this special issue encourages future contributors to take scientific publishing in African studies as a subject and a field of investigation, focusing on three entry points: texts, individuals, and journals. Its ambition is to investigate the “engine room” of the African studies publishing by examining its operating mechanisms and the challenges they reflect or activate.

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les groupes forgés par les conflits, qualifiés généralement de « factions », ont fait l’objet de recherches comparées qui ont mis en évidence leur omniprésence. Dans le prolongement de ces travaux, nous souhaitons nous intéresser à la manière dont les factions communiquent pour rendre publics leur existence et les conflits qui les nourrissent. Les discours élaborés par et sur les factions méritent donc d’être analysés avec prudence, en examinant leur structure, le cadre de leur énonciation et les mécanismes de leur diffusion, afin d’évaluer leur sincérité et d’en décrypter les sous-entendus. C’est à ce travail qu’invitent les présentes journées d’étude, dans une perspective comparée large, susceptible d’éclairer ces phénomènes sur le temps long.

Indigenous Peoples and Mobility
Nomopolis journal will be devoting issue no. 3 to the mobility of indigenous peoples.This issue remains one of the areas to be explored within a growing body of indigenous research in the social sciences. Its importance is demonstrated by the decision of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples to devote his latest report to the United Nations General Assembly to this issue. This is the first systematic global study of the situation of mobile indigenous peoples. However, this situation represents only one aspect of the broader issue of the relationship between mobility and indigenous peoples, which also raises questions about the situation of those for whom mobility is not a way of life.
