« Revue internationale des études du développement », n°247 (2021-3)

A call for papers on health and development cannot but mention the current pandemic crisis. While international aid in the health sector has been rather stagnant of late, the Covid-19 pandemic could put health and infectious diseasesback at the heart of long-run priorities, particularly in countries of the South. While the African continent remains relatively unaffected, low-income countries share several characteristics: fragile and poorly funded healthcare systems that currently seem to be coping nonetheless, as well as a significant burden due to endemic health problems, including non communicable diseases. An integrated, unified approach to public and environmental health at different scales therefore seems more necessary than ever, especially in the context of climate change. This global crisis therefore provides new opportunities to better interlink the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and rethink the health and development nexus.

Care, inequalities, and policies in the South

Revue internationale des études du développement

The aim of this issue is, in a journal focused on development, to gather works presenting the issue of care, which lies at the intersection of the division of labor in care (taken in its broad acception, including paid and unpaid work and taking into account its intrinsic complexity) and of the social organization of care in countries of the South. This issue will favor an interdisciplinary approach. Authors from all the social and human sciences may submit papers. Authors should explore care work and social organization through local, national, international, and transnational analyses. The contextualization of empirical studies and original corpuses, and the combination of a sound theoretical approach and fieldwork are expected.

The Caribbean City, the Cities in the Caribbean

N° 39, 2018 - The Caribbean City, the Cities in the Caribbean

The Caribbean city, the unknown. Heterogeneous human settlements, legacies of the colonial era, refuge of the disadvantaged and homeless, mixed and fragmented, and the showcases of Caribbean tourism, the urban Caribbean presents itself as the economic ambition of these insular territories and other shores bathed by the Caribbean sea. The Caribbean city, a chaotic juxtaposition of modernity and the colonial past, and existing both as a social and political symbol, opens up a rich and immense new area. Sometimes characterized by European allure, the remainder of Africa - some may say -, American city - without a doubt -, hybrid format, the Caribbean city presents a particular subject of study.

Migration - a history of family

Latin America / France / Spain

Ce colloque cherche à approfondir la question des migrations en considérant précisément la famille comme élément central d’analyse. Ainsi, nous nous interrogerons sur la façon dont la famille décide et élabore le projet migratoire. Nous axerons la réflexion sur les effets du processus migratoire sur les sociétés d’origine : quels sont en définitive les avantages et les coûts de la migration pour l’unité familiale ? Nous nous intéresserons aux migrants dans les sociétés de réception : quelles sont les dimensions de leur intégration, en tant qu’individu ou/et groupe familial ? Quelle est leur capacité à construire de nouvelles structures familiales ? Quels sont les transferts culturels que suppose ce processus, en particulier pour les jeunes générations?

Migrants and access to the city

Revue « Espaces et Sociétés »

Recently, the scale of migration has generated strong images and speech that on one hand incite an urge to situate these events in academic debates, and also to participate in their objectification. This issue of E & S concerns access to the city by migrants, considering such access as an intermediate step between the flow of migration and registration (one time, temporary or permanent) of people in specific spaces. We expect proposals from those hoping to analyze the materiality of access points, technologies that accompany these processes, objects that materialize migratory situations, and finally, the temporal dimension of space. Empirical research from so-called “developing” countries will be valued highly and will be conducive to the renewal of analytical and operational framework categories, often forged in the North.

Call for papers - History

Migrations and exiles

One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

Générations dans les mondes ibérique et ibéro-américains

L’objet des discussions scientifiques du XXXVII^e congrès de la Société des hispanistes français de l'enseignement supérieur sera le concept de génération, qui fait débat pour toute la recherche entre historiens et littéraires, entre la revendication du contexte et le primat du texte dans le monde ibérique et ibéro-américain.

Conference, symposium - Sociology

Human globalisation: migration, work, generation, social mobilisation and borders

Cet événement scientifique entend valoriser les nouveaux enjeux de recherche sur la migration à l’heure de la généralisation de la mobilité dans le monde entier. La thématique retenue pour cette rencontre « Crises et reconfigurations migratoires » s’inscrit ainsi dans le prolongement de la réflexion menée depuis 2012 par l’ensemble du groupe de recherche, sur les évolutions et les implications des mobilités à partir de l’étude des zones Amérique Centrale/Mexique, Proche et Moyen-Orient/Maghreb. La complexification de la migration et de ses implications sur les sociétés et les territoires est ainsi appréhendé par les chercheurs à travers l’étude des évolutions d’institutions centrales tels que la famille, le travail ou encore le territoire. La crise constituera ainsi l’approche principale de la remise en question constante des structures sociales et migratoires.
