  Ethnic or national minorities. Between renewal and permanence

  Belgéo Review

  The coordinaters of this issue of he Belgéo review plan to reflect about the "ethnic or national minorities", two polysemous concepts here perceived in a way opened to interpretation even if they are inscribed in P. Poutignat and J. Streiff-Fénart’s definition, when they state that these groups “only exist thanks to the subjective belief their members share that they constitute a community.” The minority group is dialectically linked to the existence of a majority. It can be said “ethnic” because of racial parameters but above all because of the presence of linguistic, religious, cultural or other discriminating and specific markers. The will to be different expresses itself in various ways – instutional or not – and leads to very diverse situations, located between resistance and cooperation, forced integration and autonomy. The way to name places, individuals, but also their status – granted or claimed for – their visibility in the social and political space, are elements characterizing the notion of “otherness”.

  Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe

  We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational.

  Young Overseas Researchers of the EHESS take over the "Great Debate" about National Identity

  Study day organised by Eléonore Merza (IIAC-LAIOS) with the support of Éric Fassin (Iris - ENS Ulm)

  Cette journée d'étude souhaite contribuer à sortir d'une perspective « franco-française » sur « l'identité nationale » , et ouvre un espace de discussion scientifique faisant place aux analyses de ces jeunes chercheurs étrangers - à la fois en tant que chercheurs, et en tant qu'étrangers, sur la France, et sur les différents pays qu'ils étudient.La journée d'études organisée à l'EHESS a ainsi vocation à faire entendre, après « le grand débat » , des voix autres et d'autres accents.
