  IV Cham international conference, Lisbon, July 2019

  The Portuguese Centre for Humanities (CHAM) is an inter-University research unit of the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and of the Universidade dos Açores, funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. CHAM’s team includes researchers from different disciplinary fields (Archaeology, Art History, Heritage, Literature, Philosophy and History of ideas), different domains of History (Economic, Cultural, Political, Social, Religious, History of Science and History of books and reading practices) and specialists from various geographic spaces. From 2015 to 2020, CHAM’s strategic project will focus on “frontiers”. This multi-disciplinary project considers frontiers as limits that distinguished, throughout history, a plurality of societies and cultures, but also as social and cultural constructs that promoted communication and interaction.

  The geopolitics of religion in Camerooon

  Ce projet d’ouvrage, sur la Géopolitique du fait religieux au Cameroun, veut élargir la notion de Géopolitique des religions d’Yves Lacoste (2002). Si ce dernier la circonscrit autour de territoires physiques avec expression d’une violence ouverte, nous entendons davantage la géopolitique du religieux comme l’analyse des rapports de forces de groupes se revendiquant religieux, pour la conquête de territoires physiques et symboliques, avec expression d’une violence protéiforme - ouverte, symbolique ou sournoise. Quant aux territoires de Dieu (Lasseur, 2005), qui font ainsi l’objet de rivalités de pouvoirs, ils concernent des espaces physiques, mais aussi des territoires symboliques.

  Understanding self and others: new touristic, domestic, international practices and touristic promotion of the heritage in East Africa

  This symposium will gather researchers and professional actors of the tourism with different events (symposium, exposition, public conference, field day) around the theme of the new practices and forms of touristic and patrimonial promotion in East Africa. The touristic studies are fast growing in the main universities in East Africa with the emergence of new forms of tourism. Those countries are in their national construction and decentralization phase that vivify feeling of national belonging with territorial, regional or even ethnic resilience. Therefore the developing tourism of the natural and cultural heritage becomes a serious challenge for national and regional public policies.

  Representing South African cities

  This conference proposes to present the latest developments in the research on South African cities, but also to offer an opportunity for academics from various fields (literature, social sciences, architecture, geography, visual arts, etc.) to compare their respective analysis and their theoretical conclusions with the imaginative, artistic representations of the cities of South Africa. The convenors therefore not only invite researchers from all fields to come and present their latest work on South African cities, but also strongly encourage papers which offer a cross-disciplinary approach, or joint presentations between researchers from various fields or academics and artists (writers, directors, photographs). Some major actors of the literary and art scene will be present to expose their views and discuss their works with researchers as well as with a wider, more general audience.This conference is part of the Official Season of South Africa in France.

  Child Victims, Vulnerable Children and “Violent” Young People in East Africa (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzanie and Uganda)

  Dans la région de Grands Lacs, en Afrique orientale, la vulnérabilité et la précarité qui touchent les enfants (enfants et jeunes-adolescents), se sont accrues ces dernières années avec plus ou moins d’intensité en raison de la situation politique conflictuelle ou post-conflictuelle. Le colloque traitera donc des « enfants précaires », entre « enfants victimes et jeunesse violente », il s’agit primo d’en mesurer les diverses dimensions, du moins contribuer à améliorer la connaissance – encore parcellaire – du sujet ; secundo d’étudier la prise en charge familiale et institutionnelle des enfants et tertio d’étudier les politiques publiques et l’action sociale à leur sujet.
