    Patrimonios alimentarios, turismos y sostenibilidades

    V congreso internacional del Observatorio de la alimentación y la fundación Alicia

    El patrimonio alimentario, como el «patrimonio» en general, ha sido considerado tanto como una construcción socio-cultural, con capacidad para representar simbólicamente una identidad, como una industria de valores añadidos. Por parte de numerosos gobiernos, estatales o regionales, existe una voluntad de conocer el patrimonio alimentario de las poblaciones con el propósito de proponer políticas de fomento productivo y de iniciar procesos de desarrollo local mediante la valorización de los productos y cocinas locales. Las gastronomías locales forman parte, cada vez más, de los recursos susceptibles de ser explotados por parte de la oferta turística. Turismo y restauración no solamente contribuyen a la valoración de la cocina tradicional y a su posible recuperación si no, también, a su transformación y redefinición, bajo parámetros diversos y, a veces, contradictorios: por un lado, «selección», «reducción» y «simplificación» de aquellos platos y productos considerados representativos; y por otro, «idealización», «replicación» y generalización...

    Subalternidad y vida cotidiana en las ciudades andinas: aproximaciones desde antropología e historia

    Panel en el congreso LASA (Latin American Studies Association) 2018

    Nuestra propuesta de sesión para Latin American Studies Association (LASA) 2018 se propone crear un espacio de contacto y diálogo entre investigaciones que aborden desde una perspectiva etnográfico-antropológica o micro-histórica las realidades urbanas en el área andina, evidenciando cómo el estudio de la vida cotidiana, de las prácticas de memoria popular, y las lógicas de creación de subjetividades subalternas permiten considerar de manera diferente el fenómeno urbano, a través de sus múltiples variaciones.

    The object. A research path in Humanities and Social Sciences

    Call for Articles. Forma's 16th issue

    How can an object and its materiality be defined? Which are the relationships and/or bonds that link individuals to objects? Which are meanings and values that should be considered in an object that is stripped from its context? How can it be described, replaced and represented in its natural environment (if it exists)? Are there limits to said representations?  For the next issue, Forma. Revista d'Estudis Comparatius joins the project put forward by the collective “Jeune chercheurs de TELEMMe” for the preparation of their annual study conferences about the "object" in the Humanities and the Social Sciences.

    Love, Lust and Longing: Rethinking Intimacy

    5th International Symposium of the International Network for Alternative Academia

    While discussion of sex become ever more common, opportunities to explore the nature of love are still rare. When the topic is raised, most often the focus is on dramatic experiences or hard cases. The “epic” and the “mundane” are probably more intertwined in our experiences of love than cultural speech and literature admit. Yet, an imbalance continues to exist: we reflect little on the smallness of events that sustain love bonds. What goes unexamined as such are the ways in which love is spoken of and enacted in everyday life. This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the lived experience of love considering the ways in which it is described and how it is practiced, identifying how love differs from and overlaps with concern, care, friendship and lust and raising questions about the ontology, expression and politics of love.

    Language and alterity. Limits and excesses in the construction of meaning

    Journal Forma

    The editorial board of "Forma. Revista d’Humanitats" journal is pleased to inform that the call for the reception of articles, reviews, critics and states of the Art for their publication in the next monographic number: Language and alterity. Limits and excesses in the construction of meaning is currently open. In this number we expect to stimulate a debate within the humanistic disciplines revolving around problématiques stirred by the types of comprehension and artistic representation, the experiences and languages of the ineffable, poetic obscurity, autonomy and transgression of the resources of artistic expression, excess and horror. These experiences and languages, in their transgression and excess of the artistic normative structures, promote studies concerning their difference and alterity in relation to the traditional models of comprehension and representation.

    First International Symposium on Primitivism

    The First International Symposium on Primitivism aims to shed new light on a debate that has been given little attention in the field of Humanities, and which focuses on the relationship between Art and the Primitive. The disciplinary foundation of these studies is in History and Art Theory. However, it is also necessarily interdisciplinary, to the extent that we are interested in understanding the aesthetic phenomena that constitute Western art, not only from the perspective of an artistic history, but also – and especially – from its imbrications with aesthetics, culture, society, and politics.

    Conference, symposium - Urban studies

    Desertions, Counter-movements and Forced Mobilities in the Contemporary City

    First International Conference on Anthropology of Urban Conflict

    Social conflict is inherent in urban society in general. Social conflict is a historic constant that makes cities the epicenter of revolt in all of its forms. Despite our attempts to systematically classify the varied logics that lay behind existing disparate scales of uprising, e.g. large mass movements, small groups organized around blueprint actions, or individuals that quietly rebelled with daily contempt, to date it has not been possible to bring them all under a common systemic defiance. Political movements vs. social movements, peaceful vs. violent actions, organization vs. spontaneity, etc., these are old dichotomies overcome by the force of the present situation. So, how does conflict come about in contemporary cities? The varied kinds of agitation featured in the current crisis are a good example of the different types of rebellion against public order, the norms that sustain it, and the authorities that implement them. From a demonstration against government cuts to apolitical graffiti somewhere on the urban fringe, from insubordination against mortgage repossessions to the refusal to pay for the use of public transport, from symbolic happenings performed in public spaces to the defense, at any cost, of squatted housing, of neighborhood resistance against evictions or of the opposition to identification raids on undocumented migrants.

    1st International Conference on Anthropology and Urban Conflict

    Desertions, Counter-movements, and Forced Mobilizations in the Contemporary City

    The aim of this conference is to make an inventory and to analyze, from different ethnographic approaches, those often invisible phenomena of daily or extraordinary disobedience designed for, or inspired by, a rejection of spatial, economic, political, and social order. However, in order to identify them as mechanisms aimed at denouncing a particular order, we must approach these by looking at concepts that synthesize at once the processes that impose a homogeneous order as well as the practices that challenge it.

    Construction and Projection of Personal Memoirs in Modern and Early Modern Europe

    Call for Posters

    L’idée d’organiser un congrès en 2011 en Catalogne sur la mémoire et les livres de raison personnels provient de la demande des chercheurs eux-mêmes. Depuis des années, ils insistent sur la nécessité d’une rencontre internationale comme celle de Barcelone eu égard à l’importance du sujet de recherche ainsi qu’à la nécessité d’une approche comparative après la parution de nombreuses publications et de nouveautés nationales et internationales.Un des buts de ce congrès est d’établir des parallélismes ou des confrontations thématiquesentre les espaces européens où la mémoire personnelle écrite a été fondamentale et continue à l’être, comme c’est le cas de l’Italie, l’Angleterre, une partie de la France, la Péninsule Ibérique, etc. Il s'agit de fixer une vue d’ensemble sur la qualité et sur la quantité des sujets les plus représentatifs autour de la construction et de la projection de la mémoire personnelle en Europe pendant les temps modernes.

    Méthodes, approches et thèmes des recherches actuelles sur les arts visuels au Moyen-Orient et au Maghreb

    Double panel organisé par Silvia Naef et le SAP dans le cadre du dixième WOCMES

    Dans le champ qui nous occupe, le cadre de travail offert aux chercheurs reste souvent très peu performant, comme le montrent les choix qui s’ouvrent aux doctorants. Seuls quelques rares enseignements tiennent compte d’un phénomène qui caractérise pourtant les sociétés musulmanes depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, que ce soit en Europe ou en Amérique du Nord, tout autant que dans les pays concernés qui, encore aujourd’hui n’offrent à leurs jeunes candidats artistes et historiens de l'art qu’un apprentissage tourné vers l’histoire de l’art des pays occidentaux.
