  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.

  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.

  Conflicts of memory: arts, history, commemorations

  This conference will focus not only on historical events which fuel conflicting memories, but also on works of art – including those produced at the margins of institutions – which encourage or undermine the consensual interpretations of the past. Do artworks promoting a reinterpretation of the past help foster a new type of relationship between the present and the past? Do they open onto a different future? Some works spark off debates and suggest that memory is imbued with potentially irreconcilable sentiments. Historical materials and artworks convey this tension, articulating the gap between dominant and dominated memories. Does art help resolve conflicts or does it perpetuate them? Comparing different artists’ original takes on similar historical events may help us better understand the stakes behind conflicting memories.
