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.

Music, Tradition and Creativity in the Digital Era
New Ethnomusicological Perspectives From the Global South
This Symposium will explore how digital media and new technologies have affected the ways through which musicians, producers and researchers experiment and engage with "traditional" musical forms, in Colombia and in other parts of the world. The participants are invited to share their research results and methodological experimentations in the field of applied ethnomusicology, music pedagogy, performance, digital audio production or digital humanities about the study of the impact of digital technologies about current musical practices. This Symposium will also include the presence of several local musicians and producers who will conduct workshops on "traditional" Colombian music and music from other countries of the global South.

Investigating parental motivation for alternative education
What are parents’ motives to educate without school ? Among the most spontaneously questions addressed to homeschooling, this question has been one of the most researched by scholars, particularly in the United States. Thinking in terms of parental “choice”, “reasons”, “motivations” or “decisions” electing alternative education leads however to conceptual and empirical challenges. To discuss these theoretical and methodological issues of the scientific study of “parental alternative choices”, the workshop gathers researchers whose investigations, about parents who home educate and/or parents who school their children in alternative schools, use diverse concepts or techniques.

Afro-decolonial perspectives - practical and theoretical issues
Representations of Africans and Afro-descendants in school manuals
Ce colloque-atelier est le fruit des résultats d'un précédent colloque qui a eu lieu à Saint-Louis à l'université Gaston Berger au Sénégal. Son objectif ne sera pas la création de manuels scolaires au format papier mais la création d’une plateforme digitale où les membres du réseau pourront mettre en ligne des supports de tous types (textes, photos, vidéos, audio, peintures, etc.) en rapport avec les cultures africaines et afro-diasporiques. Ainsi, chaque enseignant, animateur culturel, artiste, éducateur aura accès aux sources primaires partout dans le monde. Cependant, cette initiative n’empêche pas à postériori la création de livres au format papier. C’est pourquoi l’optique de cette rencontre sera beaucoup plus ciblée sur les pratiques pédagogiques et didactiques.

Religions, discriminations, and racism in schools - the example of the French high-school
Exemple du lycée
L'enquête Religions, discriminations, racisme en milieu scolaire [ReDISCO*] est une enquête conduite auprès d'enseigants, de personnels de direction, de personnels encadrants et Biatss du second degré en France. Elle porte sur les situations de travail concernant les religions, les discriminations, le racisme et sur les interprétations qu'en font les enquêtés, sur leurs stratégies d'actions et sur les ressources qu'ils mobilisent. En outre, nous nous demandons comment ils catégorisent l'expression des religions, les manifesttaions de discriminations et de racisme ?

Artistic theories and practices in the academic context - polarisation and contaminations
Comment une pratique artistique peut devenir un objet de recherche académique ? Comment gérer la particularité de ces recherches e de ses résultats ? Quelles sont les stratégies utilisées pour outrepasser les binarismes imposés par les modèles scientifiques tout en emphatisant le pouvoir réflexif de l’art et l’imminente nécessité de créativité pour la formulation théorique ? Ce Colloque propose un espace de discussion interdisciplinaire. L’objectif est d’ouvrir au dialogue les recherches académiques qui se comprennent comme espaces d’action concernant les relations entre les théories et les pratiques artistiques.

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 production and circulation of knowledge in gender in the South
Ces journées d’étude proposent d’analyser les conditions de production des savoirs sur le genre, en partant des pays dits du Sud. Il s’agit d’une part de mettre en évidence les dynamiques locales, régionales et globales, de production et de circulation de ces savoirs sur le genre et d’autre part de s’intéresser au contenu de ces savoirs et d’en souligner les spécificités (ou non) sur les plans théorique et épistémologique.

The creation of the political subject. Reflexivity, subjectivities and power
IRIS-EHESS seminar 2017-2018
Au cours des séances de ce séminaire, nous abordons les potentialités heuristiques d’une approche réflexive et attentive aux subjectivités pour l’étude du phénomène politique. Notre approche consiste à éclairer au plus près les actions et les positionnements tant stratégiques qu’affectifs des personnes qui participent à l’enquête, ainsi que la dimension interlocutoire des situations ethnographiées, leur temporalité et leur inscription dans des contextes marqués par des rapports de force eux-mêmes politiquement et historiquement construits.

Resistance: Indigenous and Postcolonial Perspectives
In Decolonizing Education (2013), Marie Battiste critiques the valorization of Eurocentric knowledge systems through the minimization of Indigenous knowledge, peoples, and histories, arguing that “part of the ultimate struggle is a regeneration of new relationships among and between knowledge systems”. Achille Mbembe argues in “Decolonizing Knowledge and the Question of the Archive” (2016) that decolonizing knowledge “mostly means developing a perspective which can allow us to see ourselves clearly, but always in relationship to ourselves and to other selves in the universe, non-humans included”. Remaining cognizant of the many competing definitions of the term “postcolonial” and of valid suspicions of institutionalized theory, we envision dialogue between these perspectives as facilitating the exploration of relationships between critical theories, cultural products, pedagogical strategies, social practices, and communities that are motivated by comparable aims of resistance.

Conflicts, practices, prospects
In light of recent attacks against the freedom of research, we seek to reassess and reflect on the right to this freedom today, in a global context. Taking into account the punctual, tendential or structural nature of the attacks against this right, we focus on its current situation, its personal and collective practices as well as the networks and associations supporting it, and its political prospects. We adopt an encompassing, grounds-up and agonistic understanding of the freedom of research, which includes forms of journalistic, artistic and civic inquiry as well as academic research, situating it in a web of social, political and economic interrelations, and stressing the importance of understanding it as a contested right and a tool in conflict rather than simply an entitlement supposedly guaranteed by any “non-authoritarian” State.

The Black Metropolis, between past and future
Race, urban planning and African-American culture in Chicago
The colloquium will celebrate the centenary of the “Great Migration” and explore the social and cultural life of Chicago South Side and West Side from the end of the Thirties, which were marked by the cultural zenith of Bronzeville neighborhood and a series of measures for the Black community inspired by the New Deal, to the present, which is characterized by numerous private and public initiatives in favor of an urban renewal. This international and multidisciplinary colloquium seeks to reevaluate the contribution of the South Side and the West Side to the definition and evolution of the African-American identity from the beginning of the XXth Century until the contemporary moment.

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.
