  International Family Migration and Normative Languages

  International Sociological Association, Congress 2018. Panel Research Committee 25, Language and Society

  Family reunification, mixed marriages and other forms of international family migration are highly politicized topics depicted as threats for national identity. In some countries, the conditions to access the family rights have been reformed complicating the processes of applications for visa, residence permit and nationality. In other countries, migrant and binational families encounter administrative and religious constraints to formalise their unions, to pass on nationality and rights to the children or simply to be socially accepted. This session explores the language employed to define family migration ‒ and the social-administrative processes that go with ‒ by politicians, media, bureaucrats, civil society actors and by family members too. The session welcomes papers from a broad empirical perspectives that explore the changing (or the persistence) of normative languages related to family migration over time.

  In Search of Cultural Conformity

  The New Integration and Migration Policies in Europe

  MAM is a network of scholars from the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) who have been working together for almost ten years on Migrations, Asylum and Multiculturalism (MAM). This research tested the hypothesis that the citizenship regime mutated since the 2000s. While between the 1980s and 2000 integration policies followed the logic of establishing migrants’ rights through the granting of formal status, since the 2000s a new regime of probationary citizenship seems to focus on the principles of merit and of cultural conformity. The results of this research, which includes comparative analyses of the policies, analyses of the their origins and implementation, and analyses of the attitudes of different groups towards the policies, will be put in comparison with the researches of different international experts.

  Globalization and its “sources”: towards a reflexive approach.

  Thématique émergente des sciences humaines et sociales il y a encore une vingtaine d’années, la mondialisation est devenue une interrogation majeure de l'ensemble de leurs disciplines. Question à la fois récente et transversale, son étude a ainsi donné lieu à une pluralité d’approches, car ce sont des disciplines anciennement constituées qui en ont pris en charge l'analyse, chacune privilégiant ses méthodes, ses questionnements, ses niveaux de compréhension, etc. Économistes, sociologues, anthropologues ou historiens ont ainsi découpé « l'objet mondialisation » selon les catégories que leur fournissait l'histoire de leurs disciplines. Cette diffraction se complexifie, par ailleurs, si l'on met en regard différents champs scientifiques nationaux : l'analyse de la mondialisation y est non seulement menée par des disciplines aux traditions différentes, mais aussi en fonction des principes propres qui structurent chaque espace national.

  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 ?
