Colloque franco espagnol sur les transitions sociales et environnementales du tourisme
L’évènement vise à réunir les chercheurs francophones et hispanophones en sciences sociales qui travaillent sur les questions du tourisme afin d’entamer ou de consolider des dynamiques de recherches transfrontalières autour de cet objet d’étude entre la France et l’Espagne. Ainsi, les communications pourront être effectuées dans les deux langues. La première journée s’orientera sur la thématique des « défis sociaux des sociétés mises en tourisme ». Tandis que la seconde journée, dans une logique de continuité, visera à « penser les transformations du tourisme au-delà du greenwashing ».

In the light of diversity: art, culture, public policy and the digital world
The 2nd International Seminar will focus particularly on culture and diversity, as well as the ways in which the principles of equality are being undermined. The title refers directly to Martin Luther King’s vision of true equality, as expressed in his famous 1963 speech, ‘I Have a Dream’, which called for an end to racial discrimination, by choosing the words and wishes of union. The research highlights the importance of combatting xenophobia and hate speech directed at migrants, refugees, the Romani-Gypsy community, and cultural minorities.

The Social Life of Names and Naming Practices in the Context of Migration
Names are not mere labels but powerful tools through which people assert identity, are categorised, and negotiate relationships with states, institutions and communities. Whether they refer to people, places or businesses, names do things : they index belonging and difference, tell stories, record histories of mobility and settlement, and mediate social interaction. This topical collection uses names and naming practices to trace the reconfigurations that accompany migration.

Crossed Perspectives on/with Unaccompanied Young Migrants: Words, Images and Discourses
We are organizing this conference in order to reflect on the worlds of words, images, discourses, and opinions surrounding these young migrants, produced both by the young people themselves and by the influential actors of our societies. We will question the scope of these representational worlds and their capacity to offer real alternatives for understanding migration with regard to UM-FIM-YIM. It is also a matter of observing, through the prism of media discourse, the role of the state, institutions, and different associative actors in the management of these phenomena.

Precarious housing in the Global South
Public interventions and residents' expériences
This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Dimensions spatiales des pratiques d’asile (trans)nationales dans les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles
Le colloque explore l’articulation entre asile et espace à travers le prisme des études culturelles et littéraires. À la lumière du Spatial Turn, de la Critical Geography, de la Feminist Geography et de la Postcolonial Spatial Theory, l’espace peut être compris comme le produit d’une pratique socialement construite et dynamique. Comment les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles localisent-elles et matérialisent-elles les pratiques d’asile ? Quelles institutions sont mises en exergue et quelles esthétiques suscitent-elles ?

Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control
This workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today's 'detention archipelagos' in migration regimes. By the term “internment” - therefore declined in the plural - we mean all forms of imprisonment, forced segregation such as confinement, containment, encampment, concentration, etc. that aim to remove/enclose individuals or entire populations in prisons, camps, places otherwise adapted for this purpose.

Geographies of Vulnerability. Assessing Protection in the Screening and Resettlement of Refugees
Central to policy discourses on refugee protection and resettlement is the imperative to include those with the greatest needs. International protection mechanisms for refugees increasingly aim to categorize and identify target populations according to their vulnerability. This topical collection recognizes vulnerability as fluid and contested, shaped by evolving policy landscapes and international cooperation dynamics and explores the impact of different understandings of vulnerability on access to protection and the aim of burden-sharing.

Circulation, Translation, and Interdisciplinarity
Ce colloque international propose de réfléchir aux déplacements linguistiques, culturels et disciplinaires des concepts issus des études de genre, féministes et queer. Nous souhaitons ainsi examiner la façon dont ces mots voyagent, se détournent et se redéfinissent à travers des pratiques de traduction, de réappropriation ou d’invention, dans des contextes variés — disciplinaires, géographiques, linguistiques.

The making of education in the South
RIED 261
This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).

Construction, déconstruction, reconstruction : initiatives ascendantes
VulneRom : Vulnérabilités sociolinguistiques dans l’espace roman
Le premier congrès international VulneRom : Vulnérabilités sociolinguistiques dans l’espace roman se constitue comme une rencontre académique d’interaction, d’échange et de réflexion sur l’étude ethnosociolinguistique des langues romanes qui se trouvent en situation de fragilité pour diverses raisons (démographiques, économiques, politiques, géographiques, voire climatiques, entre autres), qui peuvent conjointement conduire à la disparition desdites langues à court ou à long terme. Le traitement de la question de la vulnérabilité, appliqué au champ d’une famille de langues, telle que la famille romane, dans des situations de contact linguistique, apporte une réflexion complémentaire sur les facteurs intralinguistiques et interlinguistiques qui pourraient se répercuter sur le statut des langues les plus socialement et socialement défavorisées, ou même être exploités pour leur discrédit.

Current State of Haitian Migration
Études caribéennes N° 61, 2025
In Haiti, the migration issue is a key structural factor in understanding the realities of this society. Since the country’s first occupation by the United States in 1915, national life has been punctuated by the massive displacement of Haitians, making it a country of emigration. From 1915 to the post-2010 years, marked by the January 12 earthquake, the country experienced at least six major waves of migration. Starting from these considerations as a powerful factor of expulsion, there is an invitation to take stock of a century and more of Haitian emigration.

Call for Papers: Masculinities in Migration
Building on the achievements of feminist approaches to migration, this call for papers invites contributions that place gender—masculinity—at the heart of their thinking. The aim of this thematic folder in preparation is to look beyond the figure of the “breadwinner” (a man who migrates to feed a family back home) in order to explore the plurality of masculinities that emerge in migration. This call for papers is open to contributions from a range of social science disciplines, dealing with a variety of historical and geographical contexts.

Since 2023, the PIOMIG project “Pioneers of Global Migration (16th- 21st centuries)”, supported by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société - Sud-Est (MSHS-SE) and the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), has been studying so-called “pioneer” migratory phenomena, which lie upstream and on the margins of the major migratory currents already well identified in scholarly literature. After organizing a first workshop, which enabled us to better define this notion (https://epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/publication/pionniers-migrations), we propose to convene a symposium on December 4, 5 and 6, 2025. This symposium will provide an opportunity to present the original material collected and analysed in recent years, and to compare it with other approaches and studies on related subjects.

The transmission of scientific and academic knowledge on migration cannot be envisaged today without a plurality of research, socio-economic and civil society actors. This calls for a reflection on the ways in which research is carried out and presented in the light of the circulation of knowledge. It also raises the question of “transmission in migration”, i.e. everything that is transferred between different groups in society (migrants/descendants of migrants/non-migrants) at different levels. What are the legacies and discontinuities from a family and intergenerational perspective, from one migrant group to another, from one institutional practice to another? The aim is to examine the practices and uses, as well as the purposes, of the transmission of political, economic, cultural and social forms in “migrant worlds”.

Ce colloque international invite à aborder, à travers le prisme de l'étude des sociétés inclusives et des nouvelles citoyennetés, considérées comme un défi pour de nombreux acteurs politiques et penseurs, les enjeux des multiculturalismes ou post-multiculturalismes et des diversités en Amérique latine et dans les Caraïbes. Il s'agira d'évaluer les éventuelles spécificités de ces notions dans le contexte latino-américain ainsi que leur impact dans le contexte continental et global, à partir d'une grande variété d'objets d'étude, qu'ils soient historiques, sociaux, politiques, artistiques ou culturels.

Oran
Ce colloque tente de mettre en lumière de nouvelles lectures relatives au phénomène migratoire en Afrique, ses enjeux économique, socioculturel et politique en s’appuyant sur l'analyse des médias, la littérature, les documents historiques, le cinéma…. L’objectif est d’interroger la question migratoire dans toute sa complexité, ainsi que la vulnérabilité de la personne migrante, eu égard à sa stigmatisation et aux différentes visions dévalorisantes et/ou valorisantes à son sujet, des discours et des images qui demeurent polémiques et pourraient engendrer des dérapages et des glissements sémantiques, constituant ainsi l’objet d’étude de chercheurs appartenant à différents champs disciplinaires.
