Politically incorrect - does the world belong to polyglots?

3rd international conference of foreign languages

Ce colloque interroge la tendance monolinguistique et uniformatrice contrariant l'idée d'un monde global de toutes les langues et de toutes les cultures. Cette idée sera la prémisse principale qui conduira les débats, idée qui entend également que l’apprentissage d’une variété de langues étrangères peut ouvrir la porte au dialogue, dépasser les frontières et enrichir les cultures. Dans le monde actuel qui affirme les frontières et réaffirme les identités pour dépasser la déconnexion et l’incommunicabilité, nous croyons au polyglottisme naturel des espaces frontaliers, au cosmopolisme culturel séculier et à leur porosité.

7th Congress of the Portuguese Anthropological Association (APA)

The 7^th Portuguese Anthropological Association congress aims to discuss the condition of being human and being in the world today. 2019, a year of a possible calendar among many other available. Without identifying themes, reference words, categories or classifications, 2019 marks a stage in the social and natural history of the planet. The openness suggested in an “untitled” congress also points to an anthropology without conceptual, thematic or epistemological boundaries. It is life in itself that interests anthropology, anthropologies, thinking the gerund of human existence, others and the rest from multiple interpretive possibilities. After all, anthropology is practiced on everything and everyone in a project of knowledge that remains inexhaustible in terms of what exists and is to come.

Language and knowledge. Multidisciplinary declensions in French

Si le français ne saurait à plusieurs titres endosser le rôle et le statut de lingua franca, il n’en demeure pas moins un atout et un moteur, parfois surprenants, pour la pensée, la création, l’interprétation, la recherche d’actualité et l’approche de l’altérité. Comment alors « définir la contribution de l’école à une gestion profitable des formes scolaires de contacts avec l’altérité sociétale » ? (Beacco 2018). Quel statut et quelle fortune pour les sections européennes dans les écoles et l’enseignement de langues aux spécialistes d’autres disciplines (LANSAD) dans les formations d’enseignement supérieur ? S’agit-il de valoriser aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, ce potentiel pour la diffusion du français et de remplir ce « réservoir de francophonie et de francophilie » (Beacco 2016 : 43) ?

The problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology

Antropológicas Journal

The journal Antropológicas is accepting proposals for publication in its next issue that will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology. Manuscripts should be submitted to the page http://revistas.rcaap.pt/antropologicas/login by the 28th of February of 2013. Antropológicas’ number 13th will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology, because since the academic statement of its field of knowledge, ethnographic practice and anthropological writing had many debates, both for the originality of the methodology and the scientific accuracy required by their professionals. Among social sciences, anthropology was the one where theoretical discussion about its rationale demanded a greater critical capacity, by placing into question its methodological grounds.

Local vocabularies of “heritage”: Variations, Negotiations, Transformations

First congress of the Network of the Researchers on Heritagisations and the Centro Interdisciplinar de História, Culturas e Sociedades da Universidade de Évora. The central idea of this symposium is to carry out an international comparison of vocabulary variants and local linguistic uses of "heritage", both in the context of contact with international institutions and in the limited one of indigenous and customary uses. The symposium therefore proposes to take seriously the emic definitions and redefinitions of "indigenous terms" and to draw up a critical inventory of them, by going beyond the fiction of a continuous and globalized homogeneous "heritage" field. A comparative analysis and the confrontation of related concepts in the different local vocabularies would also make it possible to get the measure of the transactions, mutations, misunderstandings and transfers that may arise from the global contact initiated in cultural exchanges over the last two centuries.
