  Gender and civil state - personal identity and social relations

  Ces journées d’étude analyseront l’état civil comme une institution sociale complexe, à la fois outil d’identification des individus dans une perspective de police sociale et instance d’affiliation des personnes à la société dans une perspective plus anthropologique. Considéré d’un côté comme une preuve de l’état des personnes à vocation publique, et de l’autre comme un « conservatoire de la vie civile » relevant éminemment de la vie privée de chacun, l’état civil est composite : tout ce qu’il conserve n’a pas vocation à être accessible aux tiers, d’autant plus qu’il se modifie tout au long du parcours biographique, de la naissance à la mort. Ainsi, l’état civil est à la fois un élément constitutif de l’identité individuelle et une institution d’organisation des relations sociales.

  Call for papers - Modern

  Globalisation and Minor Cultural Groups

  The role of so-called minority people in rethinking the future of modern societies

  Minority groups, whose way of life has historically suffered from globalization, are often cited as victims of global processes, but they are rarely studied for the techniques or technologies of accommodation and resistance they have implemented as a response to global processes— the most devastating of these processes being colonization in its various aspects. Indeed, globalist literature does not yet offer a conceptualization or theorizing of the social, cultural, political and territorial continuity of “minorized” cultures, let alone does it afford enough analytical space to these so-called cultural minorities in the process of questioning the values and practices of globalization. Therefore, this conference will participate in building more connections between different experiences  in order to think up the best alternatives to the global economic and political system in place and to the way of life brought about by global phenomena which do not work anymore.
