The Danube - Europe and the challenge of a river
L'Europe à l'épreuve d'un fleuve
Le Danube est-il un fleuve européen ? Qu'est-ce à dire ? Pour tenter de répondre à cette question, huit chercheurs internationaux mettent en évidence les connexions et déconnexions ou « dysconnexions » qui surgissent au travers de diverses modalités d’existence du Danube. Pour interroger cette européanité d’un fleuve, nous mobiliserons les représentations associées au Danube et analyserons le vécu quotidien de ses riverains.

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.

Editorial committee of Emulations journal
Le comité de rédaction de la revue Émulations cherche à s’agrandir. Il s’agit du groupe moteur de la revue qui est en charge du travail d’édition. Les tâches sont diverses et variées et comprennent la prise de décisions collectives (notamment sur les stratégies et projets futurs de la revue ou les thématiques des prochains numéros), la (pré)évaluation d’articles scientifiques et de recensions d’ouvrages, la relecture et mise en forme des articles retenus ou l’animation des outils de communication de la revue. Plus globalement, les membres du comité de rédaction sont les porteurs du projet et peuvent donc y trouver un espace où donner forme à d’autres idées susceptibles de correspondre à l’identité de la revue.

Second International Conference on Uyghur Studies
2e colloque international sur les études Ouïghoures
The Uyghurs are one of the ten most populous stateless nations in the world. While they have a long history of cultural accomplishments and political influences, they have remained marginal in international scholarship given their ambiguous position both in regional studies and in geopolitics. This conference is the second attempt to bring together a broad spectrum of the international community of scholars whose research is focused on the Uyghur people’s history, culture, society.

Around Frederick Cooper. Current Researches on Globalization
Since the second half of the 19th century, accelerations in the processes of globalisation profoundly shaped and transformed human communities throughout the world. The conference aims at putting forward current researches in human sciences focusing on the concepts of empire, labour and citizenship and their connections with the long-term history of mankind. The presence in Brussels of Pr. Frederick Cooper (New York University), a leading scholar in (post)colonial African studies who dedicated a significant part of his work to these issues, will provide participants with a unique insight on their contribution. The conference will also provide a rare occasion to further exchanges between specialists of various fields and areas.

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.

Call for papers - Urban studies
Un appel à communication est lancé pour le colloque « Ethnographies bruxelloises », organisé conjointement par le centre d'études sociologiques de l'université Saint-Louis, Bruxelles et la faculté d'architecture de l'ULB, qui se déroulera les 28 et 29 novembre 2013 à l'université Saint-Louis. À partir de la présentation de travaux tant sociologiques, anthropologiques, politologiques qu’en architecture, il s’agit, d’une part, de saisir ce que les méthodes d’enquête ethnographique apportent à la compréhension du « fait bruxellois ». D’autre part, ce colloque est l’occasion de mettre les méthodes ethnographiques et les conditions d’enquête en question à partir de travaux empiriques portant sur Bruxelles.

Beirut, paradigm of a universally latent civil war
Colloque organisé par Les Halles de Schaerbeek, en collaboration avec le Département d’architecture, d’urbanisme et de planification (ASRO) de la K.U. Leuven, avec le soutien du RITS. Si la ville de Beyrouth connut une déchirante guerre civile de 1975 à 1990, elle reste le lieu de conflits latents, susceptibles de s’enflammer à tout instant. Cette latence de la guerre affecte le langage et la mémoire et crée des lignes de démarcations mentales. La production artistique en porte les traces, de même que la physionomie de la ville elle-même, la répartition de ses quartiers, l’occupation de ses espaces publics. Le colloque « Beyrouth, paradigme de la guerre civile universelle latente » invite un écrivain, des architectes et urbanistes, des anthropologues et politologues de Beyrouth à approfondir ces questions.
