Conference, symposium - Political studies

Do elected representatives (really) like democracy ?

Political staff facing citizen participation

What is the relationship of elected officials with democracy and citizen participation? How do they perceive their roles as representatives, their status and their political room for maneuver? How do they understand the democratic role of citizens and their skills? How do these issues determine different profiles of elected officials and different political trajectories? What are the relationships of elected representatives and partisan organizations with democratic institutional reforms. How do they deal with the issue of democratizing democracy? These questions will be at the heart of this conference. Based on empirical work, original or reviewed, this symposium aims to show how elected representatives imagine what "good participation" should be, how they relate to the so-called "democratization" or "deprofessionalization" of political life, how they conceive the social demand for participation, how they construct policies of participation on this basis (often referred to as "supply policies") and potentially draw lessons about their own democratic experiences and their roles as representatives. At the crossroads of the sociology of public action, political roles and political behaviors, this conference aims to sum up the current state of research about political staff facing citizen participation.

Gender and anti-Europeanism in Europe in the 20th century

Les axes « Genre et Europe » et « Épistémologie du politique » du Laboratoire d'excellence « Écrire une histoire nouvelle de l'Europe » organisent le 26 juin 2018 un atelier « Genre et anti-européisme en Europe au XX^e siècle ». Conçu autour de deux interventions et d’une discussion-débat, cet atelier doit dégager de nouvelles perspectives – notamment genrées – sur les forces ayant combattu le rapprochement des États européens dans l’entre-deux-guerres et les initiatives d'intégration européenne de 1945 à nos jours.

The End (s) of (In)Equality: France and the USA

Alors que la France et les États-Unis sont souvent considérés comme des « républiques sœurs », la particularité de l’expérience historique de ces deux nations engendre des modèles, apparemment opposés, relativement à la liberté, aux droits et devoirs ainsi qu’au traitement des différences (sexuelles, sexuées, religieuses, raciales, etc.). Par ailleurs, la France comme les États-Unis sont toujours aux prises avec leurs passés (l’esclavage, le colonialisme), tout en s’efforçant de s’adapter aux exigences du pluralisme introduites par la mondialisation, le transnationalisme et les mouvements sociaux du 20^e siècle.
