  Reflexivity in immigration research, between the ethics of the profession and practices of enquiry

  En prenant pour objet la réflexivité, cette journée visera à questionner les sciences sociales de l’immigration du point de vue des méthodes d’enquêtes et de leurs implications épistémologiques. Plutôt que de limiter la réflexivité à un « passage obligé » répondant à l’injonction à dire « d’où l’on parle » voire « qui l’on est » pour convaincre de son objectivité scientifique voire de sa neutralité, il s’agira de voir comment, de la collecte des données à la restitution des résultats, une réflexion sur les techniques d’investigation, la nature des matériaux, les méthodes d’analyses, les postures et rapports à l’objet, la distance aux populations d’enquêtes et la construction de l’« immigration » comme un objet d’études exceptionnel ou au contraire banal peut être le moteur de la recherche.

  Rethinking the History of the Rust Belt since 1945

  This region, stretching from western New York to eastern Iowa, was until the middle of the 20th century the country's manufacturing and industrial heartland. From the Great Migrations that radically transformed its demographics to the weakening of its economic model, as well as the massive struggles waged by local workers and protagonists of the Civil Rights movement, the political and social history of the Rust Bel. By bringing into dialogue the ongoing or recently completed research of doctoral students and junior academics with a view to opening up new perspectives on the history of the Rust Belt, from a range of disciplines (history, sociology, political science, geography), we intend to highlight spaces and actors too often relegated to the margins of this region’s history, despite their having decisively contributed to shaping the contemporary Rust Belt

  The Visual History Archive, Research Experience

  Founded by the film director Steven Spielberg in 1994, the Visual History Archive is a collection of testimonies recorded in order to preserve the words, faces, gestures and histories of genocide survivors. Digitized and indexed to the minute (with more than 62 000 keywords), the Visual History Archive is now reachable in full access in 66 universities and libraries in 14 countries. In France, it is fully accessible at the George and Irina Schaeffer Center for the Study of Genocide, Human Rights and Conflict Prevention of the American University of Paris and at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon. Now more than ever, scholars can search the Visual History Archive for research on the Second World War or on the other crimes of mass violence which have been more recently appended to the collection. The aim of this journée d’étude is to gather scholars from different disciplines who have carried out research on or with the Visual History Archive. Participants will have the opportunity to share their research results and experiences.
