  Competition and solidarity networks in contemporary South Asia's Labour Market 

  Hegemonic neo-liberal discourse assumes that free competition on all levels sparks a virtuous cycle of economic growth, which eventually trickles down to poor populations. Over the past three decades, the idea that restrictive labour laws hamper such competition has justified the deregulation of labour in the North and the un-regulation of labour in the South, notably in South Asia, where labour relations had already mainly been informal. Various sociologists have noted that intensified economic interactions and the rise of competition have made individuals more likely to activate their social networks to protect their individual interests. In this respect, to what extent do social networks shape relations in the diverse South Asian labour markets? How do new forms of social groupings reconfigure competition and solidarity relations? What forms of social interactions prevail, emerge and weaken in the market: chosen solidarity and inherited solidarity; inter-caste and intra-caste solidarity; class solidarity; corporate solidarity etc.?

  Lusophone mobilities: between past and present, which future?

  6th Conference of the Portuguese Association of Anthropology - panel T047

  This panel is meant to discuss these migrating populations’ mobility procedures in lusophone countries, while seeking to construct through the different presentations a broaden mosaic of reflexions about when and how these populations have moved, and how they have used and instrumentalized the "imagined" and politically constructed idea of a "lusophone community".

  Patients, practicians and walls: thinking well-being at hospital in India and elsewhere

  Dans le cadre de l’atelier Idéologies et pratiques du « bien-être » (CEIAS-EHESS), cette journée d'étude veut s’intéresser à l’hôpital en Inde, un lieu de soins de plus en plus fréquenté par les patients locaux et étrangers. Il s’agit pour les organisateurs à la fois de présenter une partie de leurs travaux respectifs, d’offrir un panorama actualisé de la recherche sur un espace de prise en charge en mutation, et d’ouvrir une discussion sur la place du « bien-être » dans l’hôpital  à partir de recherches croisées (Inde, France, Maroc).
