Thinking the Latin American right wings
IVth International Congress
The IVth 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.

Questioning Spaces of Citizenship in Latin America and the Caribbean
Latin American History Graduate Student Conference
Scholars often invoke citizenship as an analytic frame to understand the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. While the concept can encompass a broad range of topics, this conference will focus on the spaces where individuals and groups come into contact with the institutions and symbols of the state. These spaces may be physical places, institutional settings, discursive realms, or other fora. In this graduate student conference, we will ask how such spaces of citizenship are constructed, delimited, and at times rejected, and how the terms of interaction and negotiation in these spaces are defined and re-defined.

L'éthique et la philosophie comme critique et intervention sociales aujourd'hui
La philosophie et l’éthique sont pour partie, depuis leur apparition, des entreprises critiques à portée sociale et politique, dont les modalités et les finalités varient selon les configurations du pouvoir et les contextes historiques ou nationaux. Du sage traditionnel au « taon » de Socrate, en passant par les clercs médiévaux et les philosophes des Lumières, la modernité a ajouté les figures du savant, de l’expert et de l’intellectuel, celui « qui se mêle de ce qui ne le regarde pas » (Sartre). Dans le dernier tiers du XXe siècle, les postures changent : le « grand intellectuel » universaliste et prophétique laisse place à celles de l’intellectuel « spécifique » (Foucault), lui-même proche de l’intellectuel-expert ou de l’universitaire-consultant, auxquelles s’ajoutent enfin depuis peu celle de l’« éthicien ». Aujourd’hui, comment les philosophes et les éthiciens comprennent-ils leur engagement critique et le contexte de leur intervention ?
