Réseaux, pouvoirs et engagement nobiliaire (XVe-XVIIIe siècle)
Cette journée d'étude interrogera les mécanismes de l'engagement nobilaire dans le royaume de France (XVe-XVIIIe siècles) à travers une approche de sociologie des réseaux. Loin d'être un choix individuel, l'engagement politique s'inscrit dans des liens familiaux, clientélaires, militaires ou encore économiques, qui conditionnent l'accès à l'information, à l'influence et à la reconnaissance sociale. Trois axes structurent la réflexion : motivations et justifications, mobilisation par les réseaux, dimensions économiques et géographiques.

Business Perspectives on Corporate Accountability for Human and Environmental Rights Violations
The past twenty years have witnessed a multiplication of legislative initiatives, civil and criminal litigations, and concerted demands by social movements and NGOs across the world to hold economic actors accountable for human rights violations and environmental degradation. An important body of literature has examined these civil society mobilizations, and the ways governments envisage similar processes. Yet we know far less about the ways businesses understand their own rights and duties as legal persons, and their responsibilities as citizen. This conference aims to revisit the current academic scholarship on corporate accountability by providing a platform for socio-historical analysis of the variety of business actors and their (potentially fragmented and competing) ideas, strategies, and lines of action in terms of enhancing or undermining concrete responsibility for human rights violations and ecological degradation.

Revue « Afrique contemporaine »
Recent years have brought a dramatic upsurge in Africa’s gold output – boosting the export earnings and goverment revenues of producer countries, fuelling hopes of additional resources for development. But many also fear there could be negative spillovers, particularly in eroding stability and good governance, the so-called “resource curse”. These are just two facets of what is a wide debate debate, as the gold sector has multiple economic, political, environmental and symbolic ramifications. This issue of Afrique contemporaine aims to provide studies on different aspects, focusing as much as possible on the link between gold and the various forms of conflict.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
La crise sanitaire de 2020 a révélé certaines fragilités de nos systèmes d'approvisionnement. Elle a donné à voir les inquiétudes des consommateurs et a contribué à interroger le rôle des acteurs privés et publics, comme celui des mécanismes autorégulateurs des marchés dans leur participation à l’approvisionnement des populations en biens de subsistance.En mobilisant différents champs disciplinaires, le colloque « Approvisionner en temps de crises » entend inviter des chercheuses et chercheurs de différents horizons à présenter les modalités d’approvisionnement mises en place pour faire face aux crises contemporaines ou passées.
