Social sciences debating health and discussing care
Euro-american perspectives and transatlantic dialogs
Second temps de la mise en place d'un groupe de travail international, ce colloque souhaite continuer d'explorer la santé et la notion, tantôt corollaire tantôt contrepoint, de soin, dans les espaces américains. Il s'inscrit dans l'axe santé de la Maison des sciences de l'homme-Paris Nord pour l'année 2020. Ce colloque vise à interroger la notion de santé et ses enjeux sociaux, dans les Amériques et au-delà. Elle souhaite également questionner les processus de circulation, et leurs effets de réception, de l'héritage au contre-sens éventuel, comme dans le cas de la notion de violence obstétricale par exemple. Si les domaines de l'obstétrique, la santé publique et la psychiatrie sont particulièrement attendus, les contributions peuvent aborder divers autres domaines.

#MariellePresente - Transnational Resistances
The Gender and Diversity Journal, a feminist and queer review from the northeastern region of Brazil, invites everyone to submit articles, essays, interviews, field journals, reports and other texts for the special issue entitled "#MariellePresente: Transnational Resistances". The texts must describe and analyze the transnational responses following the assassination of the Brazilian Marielle Franco. She was a black woman from the favela, political activist, feminist and lesbian. She was murdered at the corner of a street in Rio de Janeiro in March 2018. Given the political nature of her assassination, many actions denouncing the crime were organized around the world.

The production of knowledge - forms, legitimacy, issues and relations to the world
International conference
Au delà de la connaissance que l’on peut avoir du monde, les chemins que l’on se donne pour parvenir à en constituer une sont fondamentaux : quelles catégories forger pour décrire le réel ? Dans un champ de savoir donné, qu’est-ce qui fait autorité (et donc est reconnu comme légitime) ? Qu’est-ce qui constitue un objet d’étude pertinent ? Qui est l’auteur de l’énonciation du discours savant ? Dans quel but ? Longtemps donnée pour objective, la connaissance est toujours, inévitablement, le produit d’une série de choix, qui sont autant de chemins empruntés au détriment d’autres. L’épistémologie explique le monde, mais contribue aussi forcément à le construire. Cette tendance apparaît de façon évidente avec l’émergence des principales minorités historiques – celles que l’histoire a minoré – qu’ont été les femmes, les minorités sexuelles ou les groupes colonisés et, à l’intérieur de ces derniers, les femmes des communautés colonisées.

European Space Agency's Space History Conference
There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

Thinking and conducting the transformation of work
The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz
The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

Call for papers - Urban studies
In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870
Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.

Perspectives and thoughs of Latin America
Development and democracy in globalisation. Reflections based on the critical social sciences
En prenant appui sur les sciences sociales critiques, ce colloque cherchera à problématiser la situation latinoaméricaine en contexte de globalisation. Pour cela, il proposera d’organiser la réflexion autour de deux axes majeurs: le développement d’une part, la démocratie d’autre part. Pour chacun de ces axes, il proposera d’analyser les concepts utilisés pour rendre compte de la réalité latino-américaine, mais aussi de voir dans quelle mesure les pratiques alternatives en matière de développement et de démocratie sont porteuses de savoirs spécifiques. Ce colloque cherchera à proposer un espace où pourront être discutés à la fois des regards critiques mobilisés sur l'Amérique latine et des savoirs critiques produits par l'Amérique latine en les situant dans le cadre, synchronique et diachronique, des relations qu’elles entretiennent avec d’autres régions du globe : Europe, Afrique, Asie…
