Festival jeunes chercheurs dans la cité
Édition bruxelloise 2021
Le festival interuniversitaire et transfrontalier Jeunes Chercheurs dans la Cité est une initiative franco-belge ayant pour but de valoriser les travaux des jeunes chercheur·e·s en sciences humaines et sociales. Depuis sa création en 2008, et en collaboration avec l’université de Lille, ce festival se donne comme objectif de sortir du cadre universitaire et d’offrir un espace de dialogue, en proposant plusieurs cycles de conférences destinées au grand public. Cette année, l’édition bruxelloise se déroulera les après-midis des 20 et 27 février 2021, en ligne. Les échanges se concentreront avant tout sur l’époque contemporaine et exploreront diverses thématiques en interrogeant, notamment, l’histoire de la Maison de mode Chloé, l’éducation des jeunes aux relations affectives et sexuelles, ou encore le discours de Theresa May dans une société où s’affrontent cosmopolitisme et populisme.

Intersectional Challenges in Afroeuropean Communities
8th Biennial Afroeuropeans Network Conference
The conference aims to consider how Afroeuropean communities are shaped by the intersections of ‘race’ and ethnicity with other markers of identification such as gender, class, sexuality, ability, age, citizenship status, language… Informed by intersectional thinking and its rejection of unidimensional perspectives in activism, policy and research, the conference explores how diverse processes of privileging and discrimination interact, making for complex and dynamic experiences of what it means to be Afroeuropean. It acknowledges that the racial and ethnic alterity of Afroeuropeans intersects with other identities (e.g. male, female, queer, working class, religious, disabled, aged…) and specifically seeks to examine to what extent these intersections create new alignments and opportunities.

New obstacles to migration, new tactics among migrants
This conference will explore the transformation in the access to territory, mobility and rights. We will explore how the public image of refugees is transformed by xenophobic discourse and the everyday management of asylum rights, including the role of the private sector and the subsequent mobility of refugees. We will further explore the functioning of the access to rights of EU-migrants and the everyday functioning of other migration policies, including the access to healthcare, the detention of migrants and the access to citizenship. Finally, we will explore the political and electoral mobilisations of and in solidarity to migrants and minorities, including artistic expression, developed in answer to the new obstacles to migration.

The mechanics of qualitative analysis
Si, en sciences sociales, l’analyse qualitative interdisciplinaire est surtout pensée en termes de rencontres méthodologiques entre la sociologie et l’anthropologie, force est de constater que l’analyse qualitative est aussi le fait de chercheurs issus d’autres disciplines, telles que les sciences politiques, les sciences de l'information et de la communication, les sciences de l’éducation ou encore les sciences infirmières. En outre, au-delà de la recherche fondamentale, se dessinent également les démarches qualitatives relevant de la recherche appliquée. Nous pensons notamment à la recherche-action. L’ethnographie et l’anthropologie réflexive semblent alors pouvoir enrichir la méthodologie mise en œuvre dans ce dernier type de recherche. Le but de cette journée d’étude est de questionner ces différentes démarches de recherche, appliquées dans différents domaines des sciences humaines et sociales, de découvrir la « mécanique » sous-jacente à ces démarches et de révéler, éventuellement, la manière dont elles pourraient s’enrichir mutuellement.

Archiving the present - alternative archives
Les fabriques alternatives d’archives
L’objectif de ce colloque est d’explorer les pratiques de plus en plus fréquentes d’archivage qui consistent à (co)construire des archives, par des archivistes soucieux de « combler un vide », de documenter un présent dont ils estiment qu’il laissera des traces trop éphémères ou trop partielles.

In Search of Cultural Conformity
The New Integration and Migration Policies in Europe
MAM is a network of scholars from the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) who have been working together for almost ten years on Migrations, Asylum and Multiculturalism (MAM). This research tested the hypothesis that the citizenship regime mutated since the 2000s. While between the 1980s and 2000 integration policies followed the logic of establishing migrants’ rights through the granting of formal status, since the 2000s a new regime of probationary citizenship seems to focus on the principles of merit and of cultural conformity. The results of this research, which includes comparative analyses of the policies, analyses of the their origins and implementation, and analyses of the attitudes of different groups towards the policies, will be put in comparison with the researches of different international experts.

The production of subjectivity under neo-liberal governance
Neoliberal governance and its structures, and dispositifs, are at the core of contemporary debates in the human sciences. David Harvey (2006) considers neoliberalism a theory that places individual freedom as the final goal of all civilisations. Private property rights, free markets and liberal democracy are the means through which individual freedom is best protected and society flourishes, according to neo-liberal views. The primary role of the state is to enforce property rights, while market forces govern the economy. Neo-liberal ideas have shaped global and national policy for over three decades, introducing the primacy of private property and market rationality in all range of public life from education to healthcare, from land governance to environmental protection. Workers' rights in the global North as well as in the South are devalued in favour of individual responsibility.

Social Networking in Cyber Spaces
European Muslim's Participation in (New) Media
The increasing growth of the Internet is reshaping Islamic communities worldwide. Non-conventional media and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are becoming more popular among the Muslim youth as among all parts of the society. The new channels of information and news attract new Muslim publics in Europe. The profile of the people using these networks range from college students to Islamic intellectual authorities. Such an easy and speedy way of connecting to millions of people across the globe also attracts the attention of social movements, which utilize these networks to spread their message to a wider public. Many Muslim networks and social movements, political leaders, Islamic institutions and authorities use these new media spaces to address wider Muslim and also non-Muslim communities, it is not uncommon that they also address and reach certain so-called radical groups.

Congolese arts and the Congolese diaspora in Belgium: images and post-colonial relationships
Ce colloque interrogera la postcolonialité de la Belgique à partir du champ artistique de la diaspora congolaise en faisant appel aux chercheurs, aux artistes et aux institutionnels. Il s’agira de réfléchir à la façon dont les rapports historiques entre belges et congolais se répercutent dans le champ de la création, de la promotion et la diffusion des artistes. Nous examinerons également la façon dont ce champ artistique s’est constitué et recomposé dans le temps ainsi que les processus d’hybridation à l’œuvre, à travers l’inscription des artistes dans différentes sphères artistiques. Nous chercherons aussi à savoir dans quelle mesure et de quelles façons ces expressions artistiques participent à la (dé)construction de la narration nationale et s’inscrivent ou non dans la continuité des imaginaires et des représentations de la Belgique au sein de la diaspora.

Developing a sense of belonging in diverse societies
Hui-Muslims in China and Muslims in Europe
The aim of this workshop is to gather scholars who work on Hui-Muslims in China and Muslims in Europe to compare the similitudes and differences of identity practices. Hui are predominantly Chinese speaking Muslims in China’s vast territory. With a population of 10 million, they are also the most numerous recognized ethnic group in China. Muslims in Europe are hardly featured in international media, domestic politics, and scholarly discussions. Multiculturalism, radicalisation, immigration, integration, forced marriage are discussed through the Muslim visibility and presence in Europe. Recent debates on integration and secularism are focused on the "Muslim question". In contrast to the focus on Muslims in Europe, there is a notable lack of interest in Muslims in China with the exception of the Uyghur community. In this workshop, we want to study the impact of ethnic-religious interactions, state integration positions and policies to grasp the increasing influence of religious-collective-national expression of Muslims in the public sphere. We would like to examine the new patterns of expression and visibility of the Muslims in China and Europe. Tracing Muslim’s interaction with non-Muslims, this workshop investigates how Muslims encounters, accommodates and negotiates into different socio political contexts in China and Europe.

Reasonable Accommodation of Religion in Belgium and Canada
Legal, Social and Political Contexts compared
Que se passe-t-il lorsque des personnes observant une religion minoritaire demandent l'adaptation de règles générales ou de pratiques, afin de pouvoir pratiquer leur foi ? Comment les employeurs, les pouvoirs publics, les directeurs ou les fournisseurs de services réagissent-ils à de telles demandes ? Que stipule la loi en de pareils cas, et quels sont les arguments normatifs en faveur ou en défaveur de ce type de demandes ?
