  Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality

  A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History

  PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

  ASAI - Fifth conference of the Association pour les études africaines en Italie

  La cinquième conférence d’ASAI propose d'analyser les « Afriques » dans toute la pluralité de leurs phénomènes historiques, politiques, sociaux et culturels qui constituent la richesse du continent africain et peuvent déterminer, au sein de ses sociétés, de profondes asymétries. Deuxièmement, la conférence entend dépasser cette vision qui étouffe les « voix des Africains » et enraie leur interaction avec les forces politico-économiques et les phénomènes sociaux qui traversent le continent.

  Activism and possibilities of justice: anthropological perspectives

  Workshop of the EASA-Network “Anthropology and Social Movements”

  The unprecedented spread of mass mobilizations throughout the world let many observers no doubts: something “new” and still “without a name” is happening, argue distinguished left-wing scholars like Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek. The unexpected “Arab Spring” changed regional and global Middle Eastern politics, considered as “static” and out of the way for activism beyond the Islamist movement; the world spreading “Occupy” movements have set a new agenda highlighting the crisis of neoliberal austerity politics. With this development, themes and visions related to justice and solidarity evolved rapidly, has been re-interpreted by a diverse set of forces and has moved back at the fore front of global visibility. In this workshop, we aim to explore these possibilities of justice. What contributions anthropologists do make to this effervescent scenario?
