Le genre de la guerre froide

Revue Clio. Femmes, Genre, Histoire, numéro 57

Période historique et situation géopolitique définies par la confrontation entre les États-Unis et l’URSS, voire le capitalisme et socialisme en tant qu’idéologies, systèmes politiques et modes d’organisation des États, la guerre froide s’est étendue à l’échelle du monde et a dépassé le domaine des relations entre gouvernements pour s’inscrire dans de nombreuses institutions et sphères d’activité sociale. Le genre a été au cœur de l’affrontement, compte tenu de la place réservée aux droits des femmes et à l’émancipation féminine au sein de la construction des régimes socialistes, qui avaient érigé l’égalité des sexes en norme étatique et marqueur visible de leur identité politique. La codification symbolique du genre au miroir du conflit « Est-Ouest » se reflète dans les constructions sociales des identités sexuées, du couple et de la parenté, de l’éducation, du travail, de la protection sociale et de la consommation – tout comme des mobilisations politiques sur toutes ces questions et de nombreuses autres.

Populism: Theoretical Confusion, Contexts of proliferation and Comparative Experiences

Although most researchers unanimously agreed on the modernity of populism, this should in no way discourage us from further examining the implications of this phenomenon and its origins in ancient history. The search for the historical roots of populism, that some relate to early times, is only an attempt to establish its origin. However, the subsequent transformations of populism in meaning and practice have made it difficult to discern its limits. Apparently, this critical approach seems to be inaccessible due to many considerations, including the transformations of populism in terms of concept and practice to the point of almost losing its first forms. According to this approach, it is more likely that real beginnings of populism coincided with the emergence of modern democracy showing signs of deficiency.

The configurations of feminist heritage

Recherches féministes journal, vol. 35 no.1

Ce dossier de Recherches féministes cherchera à mettre en évidence les héritages symboliques et matériels que reçoivent les féministes, et également les héritages qu’elles désirent léguer aux générations suivantes. Par héritage, nous entendons ce que l’on retient ou ce qui est transmis par celles qui nous précèdent, et ce, que les liens avec elles soient choisis, imposés, familiaux ou identitaires. Les axes suivants seront considérés : des héritages féministes déterminants ; des héritages féministes (re)pensés ; des legs conflictuels.

Pontmain, the Marian apparition on January 17, 1871: texts, contexts, interpretations

After being defeated by Prussian troops at the Battle of Le Mans, elements of the French Army retreat to the east of the department of Mayenne on January 13, 1871. Scuffles ensue in many spots, to the gate outside Laval. The advance of Prussian troops on the territory, while Paris has been under siege for four months, preoccupies the inhabitants of Mayenne.On January 17, the Virgin Mary appears to children of Pontmain, and only to them. The villagers pray and move from anguish to joy and hope.January 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of these military events and this apparition.

1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)

The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)

How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

How are norms challenged by disabilities?

This 9^th conference aims to discuss the construction of normality and, more broadly, the system of thought that structures our societies in which being “able” is the norm in the sense of both the most widespread and the most desirable situation. The aim of this critical perspective is therefore to highlight how our societies are structured in relation to the notion of the able individual. While the recent call to build inclusive societies would appear to herald a radical turning point, what is the reality? Have we truly finished with representations of disability that tend towards the negative, the defective or even the tragic? To what extend are the “heroized” figures of disability, omnipresent in the public space, perpetrating the representation of disability as a deviation from the norm?

Images of work and syndicalism

Images du travail, travail des images (ITTI) journal special issue

Tout au long de son histoire, ancienne ou récente, le syndicalisme, qu'il soit salarié, agricole, étudiant ou patronal, catégoriel ou interprofessionnel, local, national ou international... a généré, conçu mais aussi diffusé des images du travail en nombre croissant. Ces images sont si nombreuses et diversifiées, qu'il apparaît difficile de les quantifier et recenser. Au gré de l'évolution des techniques, des pratiques et des moyens, les supports n'ont en effet pas cessé de se diversifier : dessins, affiches, drapeaux, sculptures, peintures, photographies, films, reportages, documents numériques... Et pourtant, malgré une production des plus abondantes, l'étude des images du travail produites au sein du mouvement syndical n'a fait que très peu l'objet de travaux et analyses. C'est donc dans le sillage des travaux initiés depuis 2015 par la revue Images du travail, travail des images, que ce dossier souhaite apporter un éclairage nouveau.

The Association belge de science politique (ABSP) and the Associations francophones de science politique (CoSPoF) congress 2021

Des soutiens-gorges jetés par les féministes américaines dans les « poubelles de la liberté » à la nudité des Femen, du polo Fred Perry des suprémacistes américains aux tee-shirts no logo des altermondialistes, du béret du Che au keffieh d’Arafat, le vêtement, et parfois son absence, nourrit le spectre des résistances, alimente la scénographie des contestations, leur confère une visibilité quitte à jouer, comme les Black Blocs, sur l’anonymat protecteur. Ce projet comprendra trois axes : le rôle du vêtement dans la construction des antagonismes, sa place dans les processus de mobilisation et son étude en tant que vecteur de circulation interculturelle des modalités de la résistance.

Associated worlds. The living in all their states

Communications journal (2022)

Des recherches, renouant avec les notions de coopération, voire d’altruisme, renouvellent la question des rapports des humains avec la nature et les autres vivants. S’appuyant sur ces études, dans le contexte d'inquiétudes écologiques croissantes, divers courants critiques, alternatifs ou militants entendent développer des perspectives opposées à celles de la loi de la jungle et de la consommation destructrice. Cet appel à contribution porte sur ces expériences et modes de vie conformes à de nouvelles philosophies des rapports avec la nature et ses vivants, tant en France qu’à l’étranger. On attend des enquêtes sociologiques ou ethnographiques, animées par un regard anthropologique et/ou historique.

Tilting

Urgent issue of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

This special issue, Tilting, seeks to take up themes that have animated the Blackwood’s program and mandate throughout the last several years: questions of connectivity, the challenges of public and private space, community and/in isolation; imperatives to re-structure modes and methodologies of care, including revaluing care work, confronting collective care responsibilities within colonial and capitalist structures, and engaging with the infrastructures, aesthetics, contestations, and radical possibilities of mutual aid; responses to the precarization of art, labour, and life; interest in what modes of knowledge production, circulation, and re-distribution are vital to us now, and how these networks might take new form. These urgencies continue to drive Blackwood programming (and this forthcoming publication), supporting and activating artists, curators, and writers who incite us to be responsive, critical, and answerable.

The decolonization of museology: museums, mixing and myths of origin

43rd Annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) Symposium

ICOFOM is proposing a symposium around two themes inspired by the process of renewing the definition of the museum and the major trends that contribute to transforming museums (Mairesse, 2015; 2016). These two central themes raise many questions about the primary mission of the museum. Decolonization is at the heart of the fundamental questioning of the social function of the museum. Consequently, these are the discourses, or even the myths of origin of the nations, that are contested.

Transnational Biographies. Destinies at the Crossroads throughout the 20th Century

This call for papers seeks methodological and case-study perspectives on 20^th century biographies, interpreted within a framework of cross-national/transnational connections, surpassing the nation-centered apprehension of history. The contributions should acknowledge and interpret destinies and existences as subjected to transnational spaces and structures, while considering actors as non-state (or multi-state) entities. Moreover, we seek contributions that surpass the “center-periphery” paradigm, focusing on a “horizontal” approach, while also reversing the spotlight from diplomatic and political history towards the social and cultural dimension of it. Editors welcome contributions from different fields of research: history, political science, cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, gender studies or any other related areas of interest.

Resistance to Order and Authority (ROAR)

CEU/ELTE/Masaryk PhD Conference 2020

Religion has served to legitimize political power, but it has also been a basis for resistance against order and authority. Be it the Maccabean revolt, Gandhi's practice of non-violence resistance, contemporary neo-pagan religions, or the counter-system movements portrayed by Mark Juergensmeyer in his 2001 book Terror in the Mind of God, religious beliefs have motivated people to reject social order that they deem as unjust, and possibly rise against it. Even in today’s secularized societies, religion has served as the ground for social movements and manifestations addressing pressing socioeconomic threats such as climate change, social inequality, authoritarian governments and minority discrimination. These observations have encouraged new trends in scholarly debate, especially regarding the emergence of alternative religious ideas and rituals in modern societies. old and new religious convictions legitimized various resistance movements among different communities? Which causes have influenced violent mobilizations against established social order, non-violent struggle, or the establishment of alternative community frameworks? What can these movements and ideas tell us about the role that religion plays today both in secularized and non-secularized societies?
