  Lusophone mobilities: between past and present, which future?

  6th Conference of the Portuguese Association of Anthropology - panel T047

  This panel is meant to discuss these migrating populations’ mobility procedures in lusophone countries, while seeking to construct through the different presentations a broaden mosaic of reflexions about when and how these populations have moved, and how they have used and instrumentalized the "imagined" and politically constructed idea of a "lusophone community".

  Migrations and exiles

  One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

  A manipulação xenófoba dos direitos das mulheres

  Convida-se à apresentação de artigos sobre a culturalização e a instrumentalização dos direitos das mulheres na esfera pública de vários países, bem como artigos que abordem a tão debatida tensão entre os direitos civis e os direitos políticos, por um lado, e os direitos culturais e religiosos, por outro. Aceitam-se também artigos que interroguem a dimensão institucional das seguintes questões: são bem-vindas tanto críticas das instituições existentes, como propostas construtivas de reforma. Embora o nosso foco seja a Europa contemporânea, também se aceitam contributos sobre outras épocas e regiões em que se verifiquem processos de instrumentalização das mulheres e dos seus direitos com objetivos racistas e xenófobos.

  Contemporary configurations of racism and Eurocentrism

  Debates on academic and political discourses and practices

  The main objective of this international workshop is to promote a debate that engages both with current issues on knowledge/history production and with contemporary discourses/policies on immigration and ‘integration’, taking their intersection as crucial to unravel the relations between the constant (re)making of nation boundaries and ideas of political belonging. We propose that a breakthrough approach requires the challenging of a Eurocentric paradigm, now hegemonic, that is preventing a thorough debate on racism as being embedded on the history of modern science, capitalism, liberal democracies and the state of law.
