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.

Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile
PhD position in Asian Studies
This Ph.D. position is funded by a MIS (Mandat d’Impulsion Scientifique/ Incentive Grant for Scientific Research) project: “Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile”. Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking people based at the border of Central Asia and the north-western part of China. Massive internments and arrests of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs have taken place in the region since 2016, including the Uyghur elite. In these conditions, centers of the cultural production of the Uyghurs have shifted from their native land to the diaspora spread across the world. This project looks at Uyghur diasporic cultural production that aims at drawing the world’s attention and bearing witness to the various abuses perpetrated at home by the Chinese government. The whole project analyses selected poems, short films, video clips, and dance and music performances to tackle new transmedial forms of testimonies in the Uyghur case.

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.

Sprimont
First annual encounter of the Centre d’Interprétation de la Pierre de Sprimont (CIP)
Le Centre d'Interprétation de la Pierre de Sprimont organise une journée d'étude spécifiquement dédiée aux rapports historiques entre l’homme et la pierre. Cette journée se focaliserait sur les matériaux lithiques extraits et/ou employés sur le territoire de l’actuelle Belgique dans une perspective largement diachronique (de l’Antiquité à nos jours). Elle souhaite aborder des thématiques multiples et convie, pour ce faire, des personnes issues de disciplines et de domaines professionels variés. Son objectif principal est de promouvoir les échanges entre les acteurs de la recherche et dynamiser les collaborations autour de ce matériau fédérateur qui requiert, pour une étude historique fine, un croisement des regards et des compétences.

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.

Spatial Big Data in urban environments. What do they unveil (and hide) in the case of Brussels?
Bru-Net workshop
The seminar will discuss the contribution of spatial big data and their relevance to urban studies. The day will be an opportunity to highlight the conclusions of the four-year interdisciplinary Bru-Net research project, which focused in particular on the case of Brussels (Bru-) through the prism of different types of interaction networks (-Net). What are the challenges about spatial big data today in urban studies? What are the advantages and the limits of these new data, in terms of thematic results and methodological aspects? Do these new spatialized data make it possible to better understand the structures and dynamics of cities with regard to mobility and transportation, infrastructure, and built-up features?

Conference, symposium - Europe
A transnational dialogue
Although it has long been existing on the other side of the Atlantic, where it found institutionalisation in the wake of post world war II black social movements in the United States, the field of Black Studies is only emerging in Europe. Its development is uneven, however. Some European countries show a longer history and a more prolific scholarship than others in the study of people categorized as “Black”. Different approaches are being used, and different traditions are being formed. The relationships between scholarship, activism and the wider political landscape are more or less close, more or less explicit, more or less influential to each other, depending on the context.

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.

PhD position in Chinese studies and cultural studies
This project will explore how young Chinese cosplayers engage with the public at large to express new identities in spaces that are heavily regulated by social and political censoring mechanisms. On the one hand, this doctoral research will explore the structural organisation of Chinese cosplay (associations, conventions); on the other hand, it will look into specific bodily performances in public spaces.

Sustainability of Rural Systems
Balancing Heritage and Innovation
Belgium is a highly populated country with a long history of land exploitation. The landscape is modified through human impact, shaped by diverse agricultural practices, early urbanization and industrialization, the exploitation of quarries and mines and the dense development of canals, railways and motorway networks. Nevertheless, rural areas are important because farming activities, increasingly mechanized and technologically based, contribute to economic activity, especially to Belgian exports. Agriculture plays an important role in maintaining open space and offering many services, which may be called agroservices, to the new residents of the countryside and people seeking recreation. Due to this long history and sophisticated technological responses to different issues, Belgium is a suitable place to reflect on sustainability and how to balance cultural and natural heritage and innovation with special reference to the ecological and social dimensions.
