  Participatory budgeting in 2020: participation without democracy?

  Since the 2010s, participatory budgeting processes have not been the subject of many updated empirical studies, despite their multiplication. The present call invites to highlight and put into perspective the specificities of the most recent participatory budgets; in particular since 2014 in France, and more generally since the years 2010. We aim to gather papers that will allow us to renew the understanding of case studies, and the related general questions about the objectives of the organizers, the effects on participants, on public policies and democracy.

  Rights and Representations

  Foreign Language Film Conference V

  Submissions are invited for the fifth Foreign Language Film Conference, on the theme of Rights and Representations. In this historic setting of the American South, and in conjunction with Birmingham's 50th anniversary remembrance of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing, FLFC celebrates civil and human rights. Scholars will consider the question of civil rights in international cinematic traditions. How does film as an art and a genre represent civil rights, and human rights? What are the places of rebellion, terrorism, or non-violent resistance in forging individual freedoms, and how is this reflected in national cinematic traditions? How do international films address issues of discrimination, violence, repression, the struggle for social equality ? On the pedagogical side of the question, how do films about civil rights teach their viewers about international cultural and political traditions and movements ? How are these films incorporated into classroom discussions of global civil rights ?

  Vague thinking: social sciences and the risks of heritage democracy

  Le XIXe congrès de l'Association internationale des sociologues de langue française (AISLF) se tiendra à Rabat (Maroc) du 2 au 6 juillet 2012 sur le thème « Penser l'incertain ». Le GT (groupe de travail) 14 « Institutions du patrimoine » propose de s'en saisir en considérant que l'incertitude est au principe de l'acte même de la recherche et invite dès lors à lier cette incertitude à l'incertitude patrimoniale.
