Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality
A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History
PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

In/visible: representation, discourse, practices, “dispositifs”
Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
How is the materiality of the visible world inscribed in its cultural representations? What are the more or less visible actors and mechanisms in the genesis of a cultural artefact? Should the visible / invisible binomial be considered as an anthropological constant or as the effect of a certain epistemological constellation? To what extent does visibility coincide with power and, therefore, how should one represent the in/visible? These are just some of the questions that cultural studies, in their innate interdisciplinarity and methodological heterogeneity can formulate with respect to the issue.

International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present
Since the 70s the presence of migrants in Europe, and especially in Italy, has become a structural issue and has been at the center of the public and political debate. The progressive demolition of welfare systems, the job precariousness, and new consumer lifestyles have generated different responses in terms of regulation of the admissions of foreign citizens in search of a job and their management (housing issues, access to health care, etc.). Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

Spaces, Norms, and Representations (Europe and Mediterranean, 14th-19th centuries)
Cet atelier doctoral de cinq jours permettra d’interroger la place des minorités dans des espaces et des temps divers. Alors que l’Europe n’en finit pas de se confronter à la question de la place qu’elle peut et qu’elle veut faire à des minorités extrêmement diverses (nationales, ethniques, religieuses, immémorialement implantées ou à peine arrivées, etc.), il paraît nécessaire de réfléchir aujourd’hui à la place des minorités sur la longue durée et de manière critique – c’est-à-dire, d’abord, en soumettant à une réflexion critique la notion de « minorité », trop couramment acceptée sans examen.

Overlapping perspectives on the history of “ancient forests”
In ecological, economic and social terms, “ancient forests” play numerous roles. Their definition varies not only from country to country but also according to disciplinary fields. Studying “ancient forests” can involve separating “old-growth forests” from “ancient woodland”, forests that have disappeared and, in the case of “current forests”, those that are not actually very old at all! This conference aims to exchange views and ideas on “ancient forests” including both retrospective and prospective issues. Better understanding their past highlights the key issues of their status, protection and promotion in our current societies and opens up new perspectives about the future of « ancient forests ». Foresters, planners, developers, ecologists, biologists, agriculturalists, geographers, historians, philosophers, ethnologists, cartographers, archaeologists, archaeobotanists, sociologists etc., from all backgrounds, are invited to join this debate about our various and varying concepts of “ancient forests”.

Research, Politics, Ethic and Militancy in the Human and Social Sciences
This panel seeks to provide a reflection on a multidisciplinary basis about the ethical implications on research in humanities and social science related to the objects of study. These objects potentially induce the researcher to "adopt" (even indirectly) one or more of the parts/reasons involved.

The Mediterranean: young people, migrations and development
The aim of the international conference on youth, migrations and development around the Mediterranean, is to highlight the new interdisciplinary research perspectives that are currently emerging on these issues. The conference seeks to bring together members of the scientific community as well as civil society and institutional actors who are interested in the relationship between young people, migrations and development in the Mediterranean area. More specifically, its main objective is to provide a broad overview of the current state of research on three specific populations: descendants of migrants (the so-called “second generation”); children of refugees; unaccompanied minors.

Travel and Sojourn in the Early Nineteenth Century
Beyond Naples, toward Amalfi and Sorrento
During the first half of the nineteenth century traveling and sojourning in Europe reflected a cultural climate marked by both resistance and enthusiasm. The conference is intended as well to cast light on the evolving changes in travel and sojourn in Naples and localities along the gulf during the first half of the nineteenth century, not failing to draw comparisons with other areas of Mediterranean Europe.

Banlieues : quelles représentations contemporaines des quartiers « sensibles » ?
Depuis les trente dernières années, le mot banlieue désigne l’inscription territoriale d’une question sociale, comme le souligne l’historienne experte de la banlieue parisienne Annie Fourcaut. Très en vogue dans les débats médiatiques et politiques, notamment depuis les premières émeutes urbaines médiatisées des années 1990 jusqu’à arriver aux plus violentes en 2005, les banlieues entendues comme quartiers « sensibles », semblent rassembler autour d’elles et de leur jeunesse surtout, les connotations les plus disparates et péjoratives : paupérisation socio / économique, ségrégation résidentielle, dégradation du bâtiment, violence et délinquance. Le projet de ce colloque s’inscrit dans ce contexte d’actualité et vise à réfléchir sur les représentations sociales et artistiques contemporaines de ces lieux, incluant la littérature et les arts visuels tels que le cinéma, la photographie et les arts urbains.

Infrastructures and societies in the Alpes, from Antiquity to the present day
Loin d’être des espaces fermés et repliés sur elles-mêmes, les Alpes ont toujours été en contact avec le monde extérieur par le biais des hommes et des marchandises qui les ont traversées. La thématique centrale du colloque sera l’étude du rapport entre les infrastructures et les phénomènes sociaux dans l’espace alpin de l’Antiquité à l’époque actuelle, puisque la présence d’importantes voies de trafic et de flux d’échange a été un élément qui a fortement affecté la réalité historique des territoires. De plus, la construction de nouvelles infrastructures et le déplacement des axes du trafic a produit des gagnants mais aussi des perdants parmi les groupes sociaux et les communautés alpines.

VIth Mediterranean Congress of Aesthetics
Facts and Values in Aesthetics: Contemporary Stakes and Approaches
In a text entitled The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy and Other Essays (2004), Hilary Putnam argues convincingly against a classic opposition which does not serve philosophical reflection positively. Putnam’s analysis mostly focuses on the theory and practice of knowledge, but one can legitimately extend it to other fields, starting with that of aesthetics, which sooner or later is confronted with the question of whether one defends or rejects the dichotomy. Keeping or rejecting it implies reasons to do so, but often these reasons remain implicit, most especially in aesthetics.
