  Thinking the Latin American right wings

  IVth International Congress

  The IV^th International Congress Thinking the Latin American right wings follows the three previous ones held in France (2014), Argentina (2016) and Brazil (2018), which have permitted the constitution of a community of researchers working on Latin American right-wings. Several specialists from different countries and disciplines have joined in this network, in order to promote projects and studies on this theme, and stimulated the development of new issues related to this political family. The use of various methodologies such as the analysis of political traditions and cultures, representations and imaginaries, identities, networks, sensitivities and memories have made it possible to consolidate a field of study that has become relevant to understand current Latin American political scene.

  Intervenciones. Cine – arte – política

  Revista “La región central”, vol. 1 no. 1

  This first issue of La región central explores the idea of intervention: reciprocal interventions between cinema and contemporary art, but also interventions on the social sphere that may help think the political dimension of contemporary art practices. We propose a monographic issue attending to the political dimension of cinema and contemporary art relations through theoretical and more practical, case oriented critical approaches. We seek to interrogate not just the textual dimensions or phenomenological frames of apprehension of moving images, but also their poetics of production and their potential to critically intervene the social sphere.

  Réflexion autour de l’absentéisme électoral et la participation citoyenne

  Ce colloque a pour thème un enjeu contemporain : la baisse de la participation électorale. Les électeurs québécois et du monde occidental boudent les urnes. Ce phénomène s’observe à tous les niveaux d’élections et touche également d’autres lieux décisionnels comme dans les syndicats et les organismes publics. Les organisateurs du colloque proposent d’analyser ce phénomène sous trois principaux angles : ses causes profondes, ses solutions et ses effets sur la démocratie et la société en général.

  Mass communication and propaganda

  Workshop at the SQSP annual conference, "Masses vs. elites?" in Montreal

  La question du pouvoir présumé des masses contre les élites et les autorités renvoie à celle du contrôle des masses par celles-ci, notamment par les médias de masse. Or, depuis la guerre froide, on a abandonné quelque peu le concept de propagande en communication politique, au profit d'une approche libérale de la démocratie, qui se repose sur une opinion publique animée par des acteurs privés et régulée par des sauvegardes procédurales. Cette approche risque toutefois de gommer les dimensions idéologique, manipulatoire, etc., des communications contemporaines, souvent présentées sous des vocables neutres. Mais est-ce la seule approche possible? C'est ce qu'il s'agit d'explorer dans cet atelier, en renouant avec les travaux de Jacques Ellul, sans s'y restreindre non plus – pensons également aux travaux de Chomsky – pour réactualiser, à titre exploratoire, le concept de propagande.
