  Gendering Humanitarian Knowledge

  Global Histories of Compassion from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present

  The conference invites scholars to think about the notion of "humanitarian knowledge" in a multidisciplinary way, by combining perspectives such as gender history, the histories ofemotions and the body, literary and visual culture studies, global health history, as well as the history of institutions and their agents. All of them are useful to explore the transnational networks through which humanitarian practices and ideas have been promoted, disseminated and standardised.The conference brings together scholars interested in working on the history of humanitarian knowledge from a gender perspective. The interventions deal with stories of flesh and blood, which put women’s and men’s humanitarian experiences at their centre, in order to inscribe their local practices within a global history of compassion from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

  Section « Études féministes » - cinquième congrès international Marx

  « Un autre monde est possible », mais quel autre monde ? Appréhendées sous l'angle des rapports sociaux de sexe, ces questions impliquent un détour. En tout premier lieu, un retour critique sur le concept de mondialisation. Les études féministes, en produisant de nouveaux outils, de nouveaux concepts, font apparaître de nouveaux problèmes et entre autres, la nécessité de penser non pas la juxtaposition des rapports de genre, de classe, de race, mais leur intrication ainsi que l'articulation du global et du local. Intrication, articulation, qu'on ne peut passer sous silence si on veut comprendre quels sujets politiques peuvent mener les luttes, qui donneront sens et contenu à ce que pourrait être un monde nouveau.
