  The Right to Lefebvre

  Call for papers about Henri Lefebvre and his work

  Le colloque Henri Lefebvre : Une pensée devenue monde, organisé à l’Université Paris Ouest-Nanterre en 2011 en est une autre manifestation. Toutefois cet intérêt est assez relatif, puisque le peu de chercheur-e-s qui s’y intéressent sont souvent des philosophes. A l’exception de quelques figures, comme Jean-Pierre Garnier, qui mobilise explicitement cet auteur dans la majorité de ses travaux en sociologie urbaine, les sciences sociales semblent globalement continuer de l’ignorer. Même dans la géographie critique, Lefebvre n’est pas toujours cité comme une référence au contraire de David Harvey et Edward Soja, qui pourtant revendiquent une filiation directe aux chantiers conceptuels ouverts par Lefebvre. Cela peut s’expliquer par des divergences méthodologiques, épistémologiques, mais également politiques quant à l’appropriation du corpus.

  Lazos socio-económicos, culturales y religiosos entre la Europa mediterránea y América Latina en la era moderna y contemporánea

  Il rapporto Chiesa e società nelle aree europee degli Imperi di Spagna e Portogallo e nell’America spagnola e portoghese intende gettare uno sguardo sullo sviluppo e sulle caratteristiche di questo variegato rapporto tanto nel Vecchio quanto nel Nuovo mondo. Particolare attenzione sarà attribuita alle fonti documentarie inedite o poco studiate in grado di aiutarci ad aprire nuovi percorsi di ricerca per capire la funzione pastorale ed evangelizzatrice della Chiesa, ma anche le luci e le ombre di un clero non sempre orientato al bene dei poveri. Sarà importante analizzare come la Chiesa, attraverso le sue strutture, si sia organizzata e radicata nella società sia in Europa sia in America Latina.

  The politics and poetics of museology

  40th annual ICOFOM symposium

  It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.

  Zone: the space of a life on the margins

  Espaces et sociétés

  While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of  experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).
