  Haïti: An Earthquake for Gender

  Revue internationale des études du développement - 2019/3

  This special issue aims at bringing to light scientific knowledge which counterbalances thestereotyping of Haitian and Caribbean women’s rights. For centuries, Haitian women have beendeeply marked by the geostrategic interests of various world powers, and they are still the object of narratives whose androcentrism is explicit. This sp ecial issue will provide an opportunity to debate Haitian women’s varied experiencesthrough new epistemic and political postures, questioning western perceptions of Haiti. Thus, it will contribute to developing research largely based on practices, experiences, ideas, and theories produced in the Caribbean with an awareness for the logics of coloniality. The aim will be to bring to light an emerging literature in Haiti and, more broadly, in the French-speaking Caribbean. It will also place recent changes in the context of structural historicity, what tookplace since 2010 also being explained by structural mutations which began prior to the earthquake.

  Women of the Americas

  The recognition of women’s place in American societies has become a crucial social, cultural, political and economic issue, as evidenced by worldwide protest movements such as Ni Una Menos that started in Argentina – a feminist movement fighting against feminicides and gender-based violence – or the Women’s March against President Donald Trump in the United States. Whether these protests have to do with the struggle for women’s right to vote, the sexual revolution that started in the 1960s, or social movements denouncing gender-based violence in urban and rural environments, they highlight a continuity between yesterday’s feminist fights and their re-adaptation in the public space.

  The Politics of Carnival

  Transnational, Transhistorical Perspectives

  This international conference on carnival will bring together historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to explore the links between carnival and politics as showcased by carnivals in Europe, North America, the Caribbean and Latin America. The purpose of the meeting will be twofold: (1) discuss the evolution of "carnival studies" since the publication of Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World fifty years ago; (2) use case studies covering a wide range of geographical areas and historical periods (from the Renaissance to the 21^st century) to produce a coherent synthesis of the relationship between carnival and politics.

  Margins of Work and Employment: Forms, Stakes, Processes

  Quatorzièmes Journées internationales de sociologie du travail (JIST) 2014

  Les quatorzièmes Journées internationales de sociologie du travail (JIST) organisées à Lille les 17, 18 et 19 juin 2014 invitent les chercheurs à analyser les mondes du travail et de l’emploi à partir des marges, envisagées en termes de processus, de dialectique, de déplacement de frontières et de rapports aux centres. Une des ambitions de ces quatorzièmes journées est de saisir – dans les tensions entre marges et centres définies pour chaque objet – ce qui permet de comprendre les sociétés au travail et leurs transformations récentes. Les JIST font une place importante à la comparaison internationale et à la diversité des analyses mobilisées en termes de classe, de genre, de race, de génération, de territoire, etc.
