    How are norms challenged by disabilities?

    This 9th conference aims to discuss the construction of normality and, more broadly, the system of thought that structures our societies in which being “able” is the norm in the sense of both the most widespread and the most desirable situation. The aim of this critical perspective is therefore to highlight how our societies are structured in relation to the notion of the able individual. While the recent call to build inclusive societies would appear to herald a radical turning point, what is the reality? Have we truly finished with representations of disability that tend towards the negative, the defective or even the tragic? To what extend are the “heroized” figures of disability, omnipresent in the public space, perpetrating the representation of disability as a deviation from the norm?

    Childhoods: between social reproductions and abilities to act

    New issue of the Revue des Sciences sociales journal

    Les enfants ont été reconnus par les Childhood studies, puis par la sociologie de l’enfance française, comme des acteurs sociaux promoteurs de sens, interprétant et participant à leur culture, et détenteurs de savoir-faire et de compétences. Dans cette approche, « l’enfant acteur » n’est pas en dehors des structures sociales, ni soustrait aux effets de socialisation, mais il agit en interaction avec les autres et contribue à des processus plus larges de reproduction sociale, structurelle et culturelle dans et par ces interactions. Les enfants ne sont ainsi pas seulement des objets passifs de la socialisation, mais concourent à transformer les contextes relationnels dans lesquels ils vivent. Se pose alors la question de la variabilité et de la hiérarchisation des enfances, des tensions et conflits entre enfants, des conditions d’expression selon les contextes de vie, le genre, les situations sociales, culturelles et historiques.

    Towards a history of children's rights in the 20th century

    Transnational approaches

    This symposium aims to explore how mobilization, knowledge, norms and institutions designed to further children's rights were articulated within transnational space. These rights straddle different fields: law and justice, social policy, education and leisure, public health and humanitarian intervention, etc. The symposium plans to examine the social practices and the construction of the sphere of child advocacy. It also aims to reconstitute the historical experience of the actors, in particular the role of the children themselves in constituting their rights by marshaling the concept of citizenship.

    Becoming parent(s): the social and political conditions of birth

    Le CURAPP-ESS (UMR 6054), le CESSP (UMR 8209) et le CEPRISCA (EA 3911) organisent un colloque pluridisciplinaire international sur les conditions sociales et politiques dans lesquelles prend place, pour les individus et les familles, la naissance d’un premier enfant : trajectoires et conditions de vie, transmission intergénérationnelle, encadrement institutionnel, politiques publiques. L’objectif du colloque est de mettre en discussion les apports de la sociologie, de la démographie, de l’histoire, de la psychologie, du droit et de la science politique s’agissant de ce moment singulier du cycle de vie. Les travaux portant sur la naissance des enfants, non spécifiquement centrés sur le premier enfant, pourront trouver leur place dans les débats, dans la mesure où ils apportent un éclairage utile sur les cadres sociaux de la « parentalité ».
