Social justice in times of uncertainty
The 2021 Congress of the Swiss Sociological Association (SSA)
Social Justice in Times of Uncertainty takes as a starting point the health pandemic that erupted in 2020, which led societies across the world to cope with disruptions in the provisioning of goods and services, means of livelihood, and fundamental freedom – not least, that of movement. The crisis also revealed global and local inequalities, translated into who has the right to live or not, and raised new questions around (in)justice in the contemporary world. In light of the turmoil experienced, as a globalized society and within our communities, this congress emphasizes the relevance of social and environmental justice in the making of a fair society, asking the question: in times of uncertainty, what does it mean to live a good life in a just society?

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
Domestic accumulation, decluttering, and the stuff of kinship in anthropological perspective
We invite submissions of abstracts considering the following sorts of questions: What is the relationship between storage and the labor of kinship? What kinds of possessions are sources of obligation? Which are experienced as social or animate beings? What social practices and spatial processes surround waste, excess, and the riddance of objects from the home? How might local ethnographic concepts like hau orbrol inform the anthropological understanding of attachment to possessions, recycling, or the circulation of second-hand objects? When is accumulation a valued social practice, and when is it morally suspect? How is the space of storage constructed in relationship to the social space of the home, and how might this reflect on the local category of stored things? We invite authors to consider how practices such as storage, stockpiling, and purging of belongings can be approached anthropologically in order to provide both nuanced ethnographic depth and broader cross-cultural and historical perspective. Interdisciplinary perspectives are also welcome.

The manufacture of food - investigation and debates about the agroalimentary system
Enquêtes et débats sur le système agroalimentaire
Through several thematic workshops, this seminar examines the multiple controversies raised by the global agrifood system, which challenge its social, economic, health and environmental costs. Despite recurrent crises and critics, the industrialized model of food production, distribution and consumption seems to have never been so prosperous and powerful on a global scale. More specifically, the various workshops will focus on the emergence and structuring of the technical, social and economic infrastructure of the dominant food system; its health and environmental impact, both on production sites and on broader scales (climate change, etc.); industry structures and firm strategies; agricultural and food policies; the globalization of production and trade or the transformation of marketing and consumption patterns.

Interdisciplinary perspectives on food information, communication and education
Les enjeux info-communicationnels et éducatifs de l’alimentation sont au centre de ce colloque. L’objectif est de contribuer à la connaissance et de documenter collectivement des processus de mise en forme et de mise en médias, de circulation, de médiatisation et de réception des savoirs et des normes sur l’alimentation dans des cadres sociaux divers (monde éducatif, entreprises, centres de documentation, espaces publics urbains…) et dans des contextes info-communicationnels variés : la communication publique, la vulgarisation scientifique, les blogs, la presse, la publicité…

The work of data - the sociology of the practices of quantification
Ce colloque a pour vocation d’explorer le « travail des données » (mesure, quantification, évaluation, etc.), ses évolutions à l’ère de l’informatique connectée et ses effets potentiels dans les différents champs de l’espace social (éducation, santé, travail, consommations, relations, etc.). Il s’agira également d’interroger les conséquences méthodologiques et épistémologiques de cette « culture de la mesure » pour les sciences sociales, notamment en matière de recueil, de traitement, de mobilisation et d’analyse des données.

Crossing Critical Boundaries
Race in the Marketplace (RIM) is an international multidisciplinary research network dedicated to innovatively advancing knowledge and critically understanding the role of race and how it intersects with class, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality and disability in global marketplaces. Building on our successful inaugural RIM Research Forum held in Washington D.C in spring 2017, we have decided to broaden the movement across the Atlantic and hold the second biannual RIM Research Forum in Paris (France) from June 25 to June 27, 2019. The broad objective of this second Forum is to continue the dialogue across domains, disciplines and geographical boundaries to contribute to an integrated understanding of race in markets.

Towards a Game-ist regime
Ce colloque consacré à la « gamification » de la société – entendue comme la transposition des éléments de la structure de jeu dans des contextes autres que de jeu – propose de réunir les chercheurs travaillant sur la « gamification » dans différents domaines : santé, éducation, citoyenneté, travail, relations sociales, pratiques de scoring appliquées aux individus (corps, sociabilité…) et à leurs pratiques (on pensera notamment aux pratiques numériques), ces domaines ne se voulant pas exhaustifs. L'enjeu consistera à éviter les pièges de la segmentation en questionnant le sens social de la « gamification » et de la banalisation de mises en forme de jeu pour des pratiques non ludiques.

Time dimensions in the development of people and organisations
Le temps est individuel et collectif, libre et contraint. Le temps est partout et pourtant il est incertain. Les sentiments d'urgence et d'accélération temporelle que connaissent les sociétés contemporaines modernes soulèvent la question de la gestion des temps. La gestion des temps est devenue un enjeu de société. Sa prise en compte dans les politiques publiques et les entreprises reste toutefois jugée insuffisante.

You called me "working class"?
Closing conference for the ANR research program about the "working class" today
Notre recherche a voulu relever un double défi : d’une part, préciser les contours des « classes populaires » ; d’autre part, interroger ce qu’il reste de « populaire » dans la société française d’aujourd’hui. Ce colloque de clôture sera l’occasion de proposer à la discussion scientifique les résultats auxquels nous sommes parvenus et d’ouvrir la réflexion à d’autres chercheurs français et étrangers.

Conference, symposium - Geography
Ce colloque, organisé par l'Institut des sciences de la communication, porte sur l'approvisionnement alimentaire des villes. Comment se met en place cette révolution de l’approvisionnement, quelles sont ses exigences environnementales, juridiques et financières portées par les acteurs politiques (villes, métropoles), ses visées esthétiques pour l’acceptabilité de tels changements par les populations. Quelles réflexions dans les sciences sur l’épidémiologie de ces nouveaux produits arrivés des fermes urbaines. Et, in fine, quelles réflexions suscitent-elles chez les cuisiniers s’ils sont prêts à accepter des aliments nouveaux ?

Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
The three-day conference aims to investigate how television programmes in their multiplicity approached issues like medical progress and its limits, healthy behaviour or new forms of exercise by adapting them to TV formats and programming...The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats expressed and staged bodies, health and fitness from local, regional, national and international perspectives. How spectators were invited not only to be TV consuming audiences, but how shows and TV set-ups integrated and sometimes pretended to transform the viewer into a participant of the show. TV programmes spread the conviction that subjects had the ability to shape their own body.
