Discourse, pratices and tools used in the migration/development relationship: circulation, innovation and resistance to the South

Panel - APAD conference 2020

How do texts, practices and tools related to the “migration and development” debate circulate? This panel offers to analyse the processes of imposition, translation or hybridization, along with “travelling models”, and the appropriation or resistance experiences of the different categories of actors involved in migration/development governance. We examine the transnational circulation of texts and narratives that have become references for development practitioners in the Global South; the performativity of technical and managerial instruments, case models and “good practices”; the changes in the intermediaries and brokers categories.

The Pillars of Rule

The Writ of Dynasties and Nation-States in the Middle East and South Asia

Max Weber famously argued that states lay claim to the monopoly of the legitimate use of violence over certain circumscribed territories. However, historical and anthropological research has challenged his ideal-typical vision by showing how the idea of the unitary state is a fiction that can only be produced through the action of interrelated but partly autonomous agents. States, and the various institutions that constitute them, face the strategic task of identifying and domesticating the social networks that are necessary for them to secure control over particular territories and their populations. Local strongmen and notables can in turn use their own local influence in order to gain recognition from higher-level, more powerful, state institutions. In this international conference, scholars from a variety of disciplines will explore the ways in which dynastic power and/or the rule of the state is asserted, negotiated and contested across both the Middle East and South Asia.

Sub-Saharan African migrations

Stakes and dynamics of an expanding phenomenon

History of immigration is a very active branch of the Western history of this last decade2. (Philippe Regyiel, 2010 :7) However the history of emigration has been sidelined in African historiography, while external migrations have continuously increased, and the vulnerability and the misery of the African migrant regularly make the headlines in international medias. This western grip on the rhetoric of migration helped to label his field with regionalism and its topics with provincialism.

The world after Snowden

Edward Snowden a lancé un débat démocratique sur la surveillance qui n’aurait probablement pas pris une telle ampleur sans ses révélations. Qui doivent être les acteurs de ce débat ? Comment respecter les libertés individuelles tout en garantissant la sécurité collective d’une nation ? Quels garde-fous et processus de contrôle démocratique mettre en place pour éviter les dérives et légitimer ces politiques ? Comment mesurer l’efficacité et l’utilité des dispositifs de surveillance?

The political factory of exclusion

Norbert Elias study day

Le Centre Norbert Élias (UMR 8562) consacre la deuxième journée de son cycle annuel de rencontres scientifiques au thème « la fabrique politique de l’exclusion ». Nous proposons, lors de cette journée d’étude, de nous pencher sur la complexité des enjeux, des collectifs et des pratiques qui déterminent la mise en place de politiques visant à exclure des populations construites comme étrangères. Interdisciplinaire et sans limite spatio-temporelle, la Journée Norbert Elias est ouverte à l’ensemble des chercheurs intéressés par la thématique proposée.

Processos de memória política: Roménia e Portugal em diálogo

Os regimes ditatoriais aprisionam, raptam, espiam, torturam e matam. Os crimes praticados pelos regimes totalitários são dos mais diversos; das formas leves de coerção - restrições à liberdade de movimento e expressão, expropriação, negação de serviços públicos - até genocídio. Tais abusos dão origem ao ódio moral, ao ressentimento e à indignação para com os agressores, e destes em relação aos testemunhos e às vítimas. Uma vez os regimes autoritários chegados ao fim, as instituições são confrontadas com o legado duma história recente de medo e opressão e com uma série de perguntas cruciais. Este passado deveria receber uma voz ou deveria ser silenciado? A raiva das vítimas deveria ser contada ou suprimida? As contas com o passado devem permanecer fechadas para manter a paz ou devem ser acertadas para fazer justiça?
