    Regulating religions?

    Legal and social status in contemporary Europe

    The regulation of relation between the states and religious groups has often been the focus of scholarly interest, especially in the ’90s, when the so-called New Religious Movements drew a lot of attention. Nowadays, many rapid changes occurring at the same time (evolution of the religious landscape, changes in political discourses, secularisation, movements of population, etc.) encourages further consideration of the subject. With its specific approach, the Eurel network brings together specialists of law and social sciences of religion, and it intends to tackle this issue at its next conference.

    Seminar - Modern

    Another Music in a Different Room

    Resulting from a series of developed works in the last decade within the framework of social sciences (namely Sociology of Culture, Sociology of Arts, Sociology of Youth, Urban Sociology and Sociology of Music), in this advanced seminar we will have the opportunity of deepening the understanding around the importance, functioning, process, the agents, characteristics, genres and subgenres of the current urban music scenes. The ANOTHER MUSIC IN A DIFFERENT ROOM will be a fruitful space for ideas, discussions and, therefore, for a great developments on scientific knowledge. So, it’s our intention to share all this scientific dynamic with the world in order to contribute to a larger debate on music, youth, lifestyles, culture, cultural scenes, music scenes. In this context, the ideas and discussions held in the Advanced Seminar, both by lecturers and participants, will be published in a Collaborative e-book.

    Sexuality(ies) and citizenship(s)

    A  Revista Ibero-americana de Saúde e Cidadania/Iberoamerican publica uma edição especial sobre Sexualidade(s) e Cidadania(s). Os trabalhos devem abordar a importância da sexualidade na sociedade e na conceituação e definição de cidadania. Este número temático aborda a importância da visibilidade da diversidade sexual, a capacitação das diferenças, das minorias sociais e sexuais, e a necessidade de criar, projetar e estabelecer políticas sociais e de saúde pública que melhorem a situação social da diversidade sexual. Diversidade sexual e  cidadania são dois conceitos que fazem parte do desenvolvimento educacional e social de forma global e diversificada. Devem, por isso, ser analisados de forma multidisciplinar. Daí que se  pretenda uma abordagem das ciências da saúde, das ciências sociais e humanas e dos estudos de género das realidades sociais decorrentes de ambos os conceitos.

    VII Congreso CEISAL – Simposio n°9

    Para Aristóteles la memoria es el pasado y para Tzvetan Todorov el milenio siente obsesión por un nuevo culto a la memoria. En este sentido es que nos reuniéremos para detallar el diálogo que surge en los tiempos modernos sobre este tema y que hace emerger configuraciones culturales particulares del fenómeno mnemónico, figuras en crisis cuyo vínculo con el pasado persiste en el presente a través de las posibilidades de conceptualización abiertas por la poética de la crisis. La desesperación de lo que desaparece, la impotencia para acumular el recuerdo y archivar la memoria, el exceso de presencia de un pasado que no deja de acosar al presente, la incapacidad para olvidar y la impotencia para acordarse, con el tiempo, del acontecimiento, según Ricouer. Mientras que para Carlos Fuentes lo que el Nuevo Mundo tenía para ofrecer era una vasta geografía, no una historia feliz: un futuro, no un pasado.
