Difference, diversity, diffraction: confronting hegemonies and dispossessions
10th European Feminist Research Conference
The overall theme of the conference is “Difference, Diversity, Diffraction: Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions”, which refers to a topic central to Gender Studies: the social construction of difference and inequality on the one hand, and the recognition of marginalised experiences and subject positions on the other. In the face of growing right-wing populist movements, anti-feminist and anti-queer backlash, forced migration, austerity and climate change, these concerns take on renewed relevance. The subtitle “Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions” is a call to reflect on, challenge and defy the hierarchies, subjugations and deprivations that are linked to structural differentiations and to find affirmative ways of dealing with difference , diversity and diffraction. The conference is committed to promoting a feminist anti-racist accessible space for all genders.

Financialization and development policies
Critical perspectives on new financial circuits for international development projects
In this conference we look at the ways in which private finance actors or practices are enrolled and associated to the conception and implementation of policies for international development. In parallel to the implementation of policies oriented towards “development goals”, the development landscape has seen over the last decades a transformation in partaking actors that now encompass charitable foundations, multi-national corporations, and financial intermediaries, in addition to multilateral or bilateral public development banks and aid agencies. “Financing development“, in other words finding additional monetary resources, has now become an issue at the top of the agenda of multilateral development actors. Increasingly, these strive to commit private actors and to “lever in“ private money.

Contemporary African and Black Diasporic Spaces in Europe
"Open Cultural Studies" journal
This special issue of Open Cultural Studies explores the social and cultural spaces in which identifications with African and black diaspora(s) become articulated, (re)negotiated and established as a field of collective agency with transformative power in European societies. It will argue that African diaspora communities and cultures in Europe are constructed not only by individuals’ engagements with Africa and its global diaspora, or mediatized and commercialized notions of Africanness/blackness, but also through collective agency aiming at promoting change in European societies shadowed by the normative whiteness, nationalist discourses and policies, human rights violations and overt racism.

Call for papers - Urban studies
Geomedia is an emerging concept that has been deployed to capture a particular technological condition, associated with recent rapid developments in digital technology. As such, it signals to the dialectics of locative media and the mediations of localities. However, the concept of geomedia carries deeper/wider ontological and epistemological registers that transcend the simple twining of geography and media. In this wider sense, geomedia gestures to the expanding interdisciplinary terrain at the crossroads of media studies and geography, where various ontologies and epistemologies of space/time, flows/mobilities and mediation/ mediatization come together. The aim of this special issue is to explore the urban as a key terrain where these ontologies and epistemologies are articulated.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
Time, Space, and Power in Qualitative Research on the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Region and Europe
Since the start of the 21st century seemingly unpredictable change, in all its different guises, has fueled the preoccupations of academic and non-academic publics. The financial crisis, the “Arab Spring”, protest movements in southern Europe, the rise of Daesh and right-wing populism, as well as the environmental crisis all make it very difficult to rely on Francis Fukuyama’s theory of “end of history”, which now seems to merely reflect the euphoria of liberal elites following the collapse of the Soviet Union (1992). This workshop intends to reflect more closely on the webs of power affecting both the researcher and‚ the researched when they intend to represent change.

Borders and memoirs about teacher training in Europe4
Soixante aprés la signature du traité de Rome, l'Union européenne est confrontée à de nouveaux défis : accroissement des migrations à grandes échelles, montée des partis ultra-nationalistes et eurosceptiques et crainte des attaques terroristes. Face à ces enjeux,les reponses politiques européennes ou étatiques semblent marquées par le repli et l'exclusion. À l'aune de cette crise, il est à craindre que les valeurs européennes de tolérance, de démocratie et d'humanisme soient en danger de disparition. Dans ce contexte, il apparaît nécessaire de convoquer le rôle de l'éducation et notamment de la formation des enseignants dans cette évolution et notamment dans la perception des frontières qu'elles soient physique ou mentales.

Franco-German research workshop for young researchers, Université de Lorraine / Universität des Saarlandes, autumn 2015
L’objet de l’atelier sera d’étudier les spécificités de l’écologie en politique en comparant la situation allemande à la situation française, depuis les débuts de l’écologie politique dans les années 1970 jusqu’à nos jours. À la recherche d’évolutions parallèles, de convergences ou de divergences, l’atelier ne se limitera pas à une définition étroite des termes d’écologie et de politique mais s’attachera au contraire à les redéfinir. Cette question pourra être abordée sous différents aspects : acteurs, courants, mouvements, réseaux / institutions, structures, partis / idéologies, programmes, revendications, valeurs / modes d’expression et de diffusion / corps, symboles et représentations.

Conference, symposium - Modern
Ce colloque se propose de traiter du rôle que jouent les marges dans les définitions de l'art contemporain, et notamment dans celles qu’élaborent ses acteurs. Il s’agira de comprendre les marges et la marginalité dans le champ de l’art selon leur caractère double : comme prise de position programmatique ou comme situation imposée. Au niveau de la production de l’art, nous nous intéresserons aux pratiques artistiques qui donnent une place à ce qui est à la marge du domaine traditionnel de l'art – et par là-même brouillent les frontières et remettent en question les conceptions établies. Ce colloque a pour objectif d'interroger les concepts de marge et de marginalité comme outils de la construction du positionnement artistique dans l'art contemporain et comme instrument de définition des pratiques des acteurs.
