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.

Sub-Saharan African migrations

Stakes and dynamics of an expanding phenomenon

History of immigration is a very active branch of the Western history of this last decade2. (Philippe Regyiel, 2010 :7) However the history of emigration has been sidelined in African historiography, while external migrations have continuously increased, and the vulnerability and the misery of the African migrant regularly make the headlines in international medias. This western grip on the rhetoric of migration helped to label his field with regionalism and its topics with provincialism.

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.

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.

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.

Denationalization and territory

Ph.d. workshop with Saskia Sassen

Professor Saskia Sassen will take part in a half-a-day international doctoral workshop, which will be the concluding act of a two-day long seminar on denationalisation and territory (7-8 May 2014). Such doctoral seminar aims at providing Ph.D students who work on issues related to globalisation a dynamic and informal space to present their work, receive inputs from discussants and participants and have a chance to discuss with one of the major sociologists in the field. The participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their research questions, to receive informed opinions and to meet other academics working on similar issues in different regional context.

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.

Informality, International Trade and Customs

The objective of this conference is two-fold: to promote applied research on the relationships between States, customs administrations and local importers of the so-called developing and emerging countries and to deepen the analysis of informality as a reality in international trade in a multi / inter disciplinary perspective (social anthropology, law, economics, history, political science, and sociology). Professor Keith Hart will deliver a keynote address.

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.

Using mental map in political science

Potentialités et limites d’un outil encore peu utilisé

Ce séminaire rassemblera, à l'Université de Liège (Belgique), le 7 septembre 2009, une dizaine de chercheurs de plusieurs pays s'intéressant à l'usage de la carte mentale en science politique. Les contributions des intervenants se baseront sur plusieurs recherches de terrain qui ont mobilisé cet outil encore peu utilisé. Les réflexions issues de ce séminaire nourriront un ouvrage collectif qui sera publié chez P.I.E.-Peter Lang en 2010, dans la collection « Méthodes participatives appliquées – Applied Participatory Methods ».

Les politiques culturelles dans les villes administratives

L'Université Libre de Bruxelles, le Comité économique et Social européen et le Centre International pour la Ville et l'Architecture organisent une journée de réflexion consacrée aux politiques culturelles dans les villes administratives. Cette journée vise a débattre des enjeux posés par une prise en considération d'espaces administratifs comme espaces culturels. La reconversion progressive de Bruxelles en "Capitale de l'Europe" interroge ce réchauffement de la froideur administrative et souligne l'intérêt du développement d'un travail comparatif avec d'autres villes spécialisées dans la fonction administrative ou d'autres espaces administratifs où s'insèrent des dispositifs culturels.
