  Displacement and hospitality - actors and spaces

  Ce colloque se propose d'aborder directement les pratiques et les discours qui traversent tout le tissu des relations réciproques entre populations « déplacées » et populations « déjà-là ». Il s’agit de mieux comprendre la construction de l’hospitalité entre ces populations, construction qui implique la reconfiguration des subjectivités et des communautés, et qui met en valeur les capacités politiques locales contribuant au vivre ensemble.

Collective identities may certainly exacerbate struggles between groups, but they may also create linkages, thus becoming both embedded in and inseparable from the democratization process. Increasingly, the quality of democracy is linked to inclusive citizenship regimes. These involve individual rights, but also a collectively defined “common good.” In divided societies both elements are problematic.
