  Being free - "Histoire et cité" festival

  Festival « Histoire et cité »

  Pour sa troisième édition, Histoire et cité a choisi d’explorer le thème « Être libre ». Des luttes de libérations nationales à la révolte des esclaves, la liberté est un combat. Elle a notamment mobilisé les femmes pour conquérir leurs droits civiques et continue de les inspirer pour échapper aux carcans du patriarcat. Par ailleurs, notre programme réserve une place particulière aux mouvements de 1968, cinquante ans après. De Spartacus à Martin Luther King, du reggae à l’indépendance de la presse, de l’exode biblique aux séries TV, goûtez à la liberté !

  Call for papers - Economy

  Informal economy, vulnerabilities and employment

  The central objective of this conference is to provide a state of the heart of academic research on the substantive performance of informal economic units in the construction of their territory. It means that it intends to (1) highlight the inner socioeconomic logics developed by informal economy units, (2) provide a better understanding of socioeconomic practices to manage risk across the life course and fight vulnerabilities at individual, family and collective levels, (3) analyze the interaction between public policies and informal practices and (4) analyze how securization practices within the informal economy participate to the construction of a given territory (of its markets, of potential social services, social protection mechanisms, and of its public sphere). It will provide a new knowledge of specific mechanisms of coordination, reproduction, surplus allocation and securization which are characterizing individual/family and collective/associative organizations from the informal economy.
