  #MariellePresente - Transnational Resistances

  The Gender and Diversity Journal, a feminist and queer review from the northeastern region of Brazil, invites everyone to submit articles, essays, interviews, field journals, reports and other texts for the special issue entitled "#MariellePresente: Transnational Resistances". The texts must describe and analyze the transnational responses following the assassination of the Brazilian Marielle Franco. She was a black woman from the favela, political activist, feminist and lesbian. She was murdered at the corner of a street in Rio de Janeiro in March 2018. Given the political nature of her assassination, many actions denouncing the crime were organized around the world.

  The production of knowledge - forms, legitimacy, issues and relations to the world

  International conference

  Au delà de la connaissance que l’on peut avoir du monde, les chemins que l’on se donne pour parvenir à en constituer une sont fondamentaux : quelles catégories forger pour décrire le réel ? Dans un champ de savoir donné, qu’est-ce qui fait autorité (et donc est reconnu comme légitime) ? Qu’est-ce qui constitue un objet d’étude pertinent ? Qui est l’auteur de l’énonciation du discours savant ? Dans quel but ? Longtemps donnée pour objective, la connaissance est toujours, inévitablement, le produit d’une série de choix, qui sont autant de chemins empruntés au détriment d’autres. L’épistémologie explique le monde, mais contribue aussi forcément à le construire. Cette tendance apparaît de façon évidente avec l’émergence des principales minorités historiques – celles que l’histoire a minoré – qu’ont été les femmes, les minorités sexuelles ou les groupes colonisés et, à l’intérieur de ces derniers, les femmes des communautés colonisées.

  Thinking and conducting the transformation of work

  The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz

  The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

  Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870

  Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.
