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.

À l’automne 2021, ce colloque transdisplinaire entend renouveller l’approche des célibats. Refusant une définition en négatif de l’alliance, définition qui passe forcément à côté de toutes les nuances et complexités du célibat, ces deux journées pluridisciplinaires seront l’occasion de bâtir un outillage théorique commun. En créant le dialogue entre les disciplines, entre les périodes historiques et les aires culturelles, ce colloque souhaite montrer la pluralité des situations de célibat. Une confrontation des célibats féminins et masculins devrait également permettre de sortir des stéréotypes du vieux garçon et de la vieille fille.

Delinquency, crimes and repression in History
The question of delinquency, in the most general sense of the term, is particularly complex because criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, doctors, lawyers, and historians who have studied this subject extensively have often expressed very different and even contradictory opinions. Difficulties arise as soon as the phenomenon is to be defined. In French law, the word “delinquency” designates all types of offenses. These fall into three categories: transgressions; which constitute very light offenses, crimes which are at an intermediate level, and crimes among including murders, non-premeditated voluntary homicides, and the assassinations, premeditated voluntary homicides. In recent years, in many countries, rape has entered this category of crimes. The Arabic language differentiates between delinquency (“inhiraf”) which designates minor crimes and the crime (“jarima”) which applies to the most serious crimes and offenses.

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 9th 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.

Call for papers - Political studies
Clothing, fashion and resistance
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.

Living under Empires: A View from Below
What have Mesopotamian Empires ever done for their people? Tracking the macro in the micro
In this workshop, we aim to take the view from below and investigate in what way imperial dynamics may have affected the lifeways of people in their territories. The basic questions of this workshop are: How did the empires of the Ancient Near East affect the lives of ordinary people in their realm? To which extent was rural life and life in smaller towns permeated by imperial agents and policies, hence by imperial dynamics?

Influence practices in XXth and XXIst Centuries
The field of influence activities is increasingly proliferating (advertising, propaganda, marketing, public relations, communication, soft power, social psychology, fake news, applied algorithmic, etc.). It is important to grasp not only their scope, but their extension, their dynamics, their practices, their logic, their techniques. Where and on whom do they work? What are their histories? Who are their practitioners? What are their pioneer fronts? Why is it important to consider them just as much each in their specificity, and together? What is the contribution of influence practices to the production of value (economic and political)? From the point of view of the present and from the one of long duration history, is not influence government (a form of governmentality) a major dimension of the deep neoliberal turn the world is experiencing nowadays?

Au cœur de la vague mondiale et contemporaine des nationalismes, les religions apparaissent comme une ressource idéologique et mobilisatrice. Face à ce phénomène, l’objet du colloque est de se demander comment l’articulation entre nationalismes et religions est approchée principalement du point de vue théologique dans les différentes religions (christianisme, islam, hindouisme, etc.). Peut-on mettre en lumière des méthodologies ou des épistémologies communes qui justifient les idéologies nationalistes (lecture littéraliste des textes sacrés, eschatologie, thème de l’élection, etc.) ? Peut-on penser une théologie du nationalisme qui reste ouverte à l’autre (l'étranger, le non-national) ? Il s'agira ainsi d'étudier le phénomène dans son expression sociologique et politique en son lien avec les discours théologiques.

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?

Comparative perspectives to social innovation in SMEs
New faces, a diversity of contexts, alternative approaches and issues
Ce colloque s’intéresse ainsi à l’innovation sociale et à l’une de ses modalités, l’entrepreneuriat social, dans la diversité de leurs espaces, formes, processus, ou résultats. Il s’agira, à travers la mise en commun d’expertises et de résultats de recherche, de faire le point sur l’état actuel des connaissances, de questionner les approches retenues pour l’étude de l’innovation sociale intra-organisation, et d’en cerner les modalités d’évaluation et l’impact. L’ambition est, notamment, de poser des bases innovantes d’un cadre conceptuel renouvelé, transdisciplinaire, post-moderne, post-colonial, et/ou critique.
