Religion and gender in Latin America
Theoretical and methodological perspectives for research
This dossier invites researchers to submit papers discussing the theoretical and methodological challenges and limits facing new research questions in order to address the interfaces between religion and gender in Latin American countries in light of changes in the social and religious field in recent decades. We welcome works produced from different areas of knowledge in the social and human sciences, as well as areas and studies at the intersection of these issues. We set out to encourage reflection on the ethical challenges faced by researchers regarding the new theoretical and methodological models used in our region and beyond.

#MariellePresente - Transnational Resistances
The Gender and Diversity Journal, a feminist and queer review from the northeastern region of Brazil, invites everyone to submit articles, essays, interviews, field journals, reports and other texts for the special issue entitled "#MariellePresente: Transnational Resistances". The texts must describe and analyze the transnational responses following the assassination of the Brazilian Marielle Franco. She was a black woman from the favela, political activist, feminist and lesbian. She was murdered at the corner of a street in Rio de Janeiro in March 2018. Given the political nature of her assassination, many actions denouncing the crime were organized around the world.

Clomparative perspectives in the sociology of professional groups, the sociology of gender and the the sociology of migrations
The object of this session is the sociological theorization of the relation between gender and profession. Today, the question is less the exclusion of women from work defined as professional, considering their feinization, than their routine inclusion in ill-defined support roles. The presentations could cross several approaches (of sociology of professional groups, gender, migrations, intersectionality...) to deal with issues like :inequalities in women's access to certain professions, male resistance to women's carrers, delegation of "dirty work", the specific and cultural construction of a masculinist vision of profession work, how professions professes gender, the effects of liberalisation of professions (in many sectors like Health, Culture or Law) on their feminization...

Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença
Des artistes de la scène, des performeurs, des médiateurs, etc., travaillent dans le contexte du transgenre. De plus en plus, la scène et la performance contemporaines sont prises par des artistes transgenres et/ou par des thèmes tels que les identités non binaires, les mouvements queer, l’intersexualité, parmi bien d’autres possibilités qui bouleversent les limites épistémologiques connues jusqu’à présent. D’un point de vue théorique, il ne s’agit pas seulement d’étudier les performances des personnes qui ne s’identifient pas au genre socialement imposé, qui vivent en dehors du binaire, qui ont changé de sexe, ou encore, qui vivent et interprètent des genres non binaires. Il s’agit plutôt de penser comment de telles performances quotidiennes imposent un réarrangement épistémologique de l’idée même de performance. Qu’est-ce que les personnes transgenres apportent comme indicateurs à la performance ? Comment les performances transgenres élargissent-elles ce que nous savons sur l’art, la politique, la résistance, la performativité ? Le champ des relations entre identité transgenre et performance est multiple et ce ne sont là que quelques-unes des questions possibles.

Quantum Social Theory: The Future of Sociology?
In sociology, without explicit basis on quantum theory, numerous streams established strong similarities with it, setting at the forefront of their paradigm: the subjectivity of the observer, the continuous adjustment between the object and the observer, the impossibility to be fully deterministic or discussions about an objective reality. In this session, we invite panellists to discuss the links that can be drawn between quantum theory and sociology. We welcome both empirical (qualitative or quantitative) as well as theoretical papers. Depending on the variety and the quality of the papers, a publication will be considered to set the basis of this emerging theoretical stream.

Social movements in overseas departments since the beginning of the 21st century
Presages of a new era for overseas departments
Ce colloque vise à faire le point sur les mobilisations sociales qui touchent depuis le début du XXIe siècle les entités ultramarines régies par l'article 73 de la Constitution. En effet, les territoires qui ont connu le processus de la départementalisation (Guyane, Guadeloupe, Martinique, La Réunion, Mayotte) connaissent depuis près d’une décennie des mouvements de contestation d’une ampleur inédite qui paralysent leur vie économique et sociale pendant plusieurs semaines voire plusieurs mois. Les revendications évoquées lors de ces mobilisations (vie chère, inégalités, insécurité, immigration,...) ont mis en évidence l’existence d’un profond malaise vis-à-vis de la situation économique et sociale de ces territoires en dépit de la constante amélioration de leurs principaux indicateurs économiques et sociodémographiques au cours de ces dernières décennies. L’objectif de ce colloque, conçu dans une double perspective, interdisciplinaire et comparatiste, est de faire le bilan de ces mobilisations et de penser ce qu’elles révèlent de l’état du modèle départemental aujourd’hui.

Estudos feministas e de gênero em jornalismo: história, metodologia e epistemologia
Revista Âncora - Revista Latino-americana de Jornalismo (UFPB)
A Revista Âncora - Revista Latino-americana de Jornalismo - lança seu novo dossiê temático que tem como título «Estudos feministas e de gênero em jornalismo: história, metodologia e epistemologia». A trajetória da relação ambígua e potente entre o feminismo e a academia é longa. Dos chamados estudos de mulheres, até a década de 1970, ao campo dos estudos de gêneros, que se intensificaram a partir da década de 1980, a atuação de feministas dentro das universidades provocou tensionamentos em alicerces importantes do que tradicionalmente se entendia por conhecimento válido, assim como o perfil e atributos esperados para caracterizar o então sujeito produtor do saber científico.

Issues of interculturality and pluriethnicity in Guyana
Practices of care relations in question
La dimension multiethnique et multiculturelle de la Guyane est un trait constitutif de ce territoire français d’Amérique du sud. En conséquence, des disparités et des hiérarchisations sociales et culturelles sont à l’œuvre et impactent les conditions de vie de la population (Piantoni, 2008). Le professionnel intervenant dans le champ de la protection de l’enfance sera ainsi, à son insu, amené à jauger la question de la bientraitance à l’aune de ses propres outils internes, c’est-à-dire au regard de sa propre expérience d’enfant ayant grandi dans une culture donnée. Comment ces professionnels s’y prennent-ils face à cette altérité culturelle révélant leur propre « sentiment d’être différent » ? Quelle conscience en ont-ils ? Comment cette différence impacte-t-elle leurs pratiques ? Quels retours d’expériences peut-on recueillir dans ces champs de pratiques ?

Afro-decolonial perspectives - practical and theoretical issues
Representations of Africans and Afro-descendants in school manuals
Ce colloque-atelier est le fruit des résultats d'un précédent colloque qui a eu lieu à Saint-Louis à l'université Gaston Berger au Sénégal. Son objectif ne sera pas la création de manuels scolaires au format papier mais la création d’une plateforme digitale où les membres du réseau pourront mettre en ligne des supports de tous types (textes, photos, vidéos, audio, peintures, etc.) en rapport avec les cultures africaines et afro-diasporiques. Ainsi, chaque enseignant, animateur culturel, artiste, éducateur aura accès aux sources primaires partout dans le monde. Cependant, cette initiative n’empêche pas à postériori la création de livres au format papier. C’est pourquoi l’optique de cette rencontre sera beaucoup plus ciblée sur les pratiques pédagogiques et didactiques.
