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.

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.

Fresh perspectives on heritage appropriation in Europe during the French Revolution
Régulièrement réapparaît çà et là une remise en question des notions de sécularisation et de décontextualisation des œuvres d’art qui ont présidé à la création, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, des musées modernes. Cette remise en cause conduit à considérer, dans la foulée de Quatremère de Quincy, que l’œuvre d’art ne peut être appréciée que dans son contexte d’origine. D’où le risque de vouloir réécrire notre passé en reconsidérant les transferts patrimoniaux qui ont, de tous temps, jalonné l’histoire. Dans la foulée de l’inventaire scientifique que dresse l’IRPA des peintures et des sculptures spoliées par les révolutionnaires français dans les Pays-Bas autrichiens et la principauté épiscopale de Liège, un colloque de deux jours sera organisé par la même institution pour réévaluer de la manière la plus large les circonstances historiques, politiques et artistiques de ces prélèvements révolutionnaires à travers l’Europe, ainsi que leurs antécédents et répercussions immédiats.

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 Grant in Urban Anthropology of Youth in Laos
EASt provides a PhD grant for a research titled: “Negotiating Identities in Public Spaces Among Old and New Groups of Young City Dwellers in Vientiane, Laos”. The research will explore how young migrants experience, use and appropriate public spaces, including cyberspace, in the Lao fast-developing capital, Vientiane. How are their social maps structured and negotiated in relation to public spaces? How do they interact and perceive their relationship with the local youth born and bred in Vientiane? How do they coexist and socialise in urban public spaces?

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.

Social (im)mobilities in Africa
Ethnographic approaches
Taking as a point of departure that since the decline – if not the evaporation – of class analysis in the 1980s, less systematic attention has been paid to the dividing lines of African societies, this workshop wants to take the idea of a social space seriously and to explore, with both theoretical imagination and empirical rigour, the divisions of African social spaces in their historical and multi-layered strata, their production and the way they are practically experienced by social actors.

The adoption of the European Landscape Convention (ELC) in 2000 represents a major event in taking landscape into account at the European level. As of June 2013, 38 Council of Europe member states have ratified the Convention. By specifying that landscape is an essential component of the quality of life of Europeans, the Convention is, first and foremost, in line with a territorial dimension. Moreover, a strong foundation of the ELC lies in its specific definition of landscape, notably based on the notion of perception by populations. One of the scientists’ major concerns is therefore how to reconcile objective scientific approaches with the subjective aspect of citizens’ perception. After more than a decade of practice, the Conference will be an opportunity for scientists who have been working in line with the ELC to present the tools developed and to reflect on their tangible, measurable and observable effects.

Congolese arts and the Congolese diaspora in Belgium: images and post-colonial relationships
Ce colloque interrogera la postcolonialité de la Belgique à partir du champ artistique de la diaspora congolaise en faisant appel aux chercheurs, aux artistes et aux institutionnels. Il s’agira de réfléchir à la façon dont les rapports historiques entre belges et congolais se répercutent dans le champ de la création, de la promotion et la diffusion des artistes. Nous examinerons également la façon dont ce champ artistique s’est constitué et recomposé dans le temps ainsi que les processus d’hybridation à l’œuvre, à travers l’inscription des artistes dans différentes sphères artistiques. Nous chercherons aussi à savoir dans quelle mesure et de quelles façons ces expressions artistiques participent à la (dé)construction de la narration nationale et s’inscrivent ou non dans la continuité des imaginaires et des représentations de la Belgique au sein de la diaspora.
