Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality

A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History

PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

State, Society, Market and Europe (RESuME papers)

ERASMUS+ Jean Monnet Action

The Resources on the European socio-economic model (RESuME) project, co-funded by the Erasmus+Jean Monnet Action for Institutions and the University of Luxembourg, aims to contribute to the study of the European socio-economic model, its origins, current characteristics and future development. The project focuses on the interaction between society, economic players and public authorities, through the prism of the notion of European competitiveness. It draws on the disciplines of contemporary history, law, economics, political science, political philosophy and sociology. To shed further light on this subject, the RESuME project is creating an innovative new series of scholarly contributions: the ‘State, Society, Market and Europe’ Research Papers (RESuME Papers).

The making of cultural policies

Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization

This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

Seminar - Urban studies

Les ateliers du foncier

Centré sur les questions foncières, le Réseau des jeunes chercheurs du foncier regroupe une quarantaine de doctorants et jeunes docteurs, d’horizons disciplinaires variés (économie, droit, géographie, aménagement, etc.), travaillant sur des objets diversifiés (immobilier, agriculture, urbanisation, propriété, financiarisation, politiques publiques, etc.). Il permet d’accompagner les doctorants sur le plan théorique et méthodologique. Les Ateliers du foncier sont des instances organisées trimestriellement pour permettre aux jeunes chercheurs de discuter de leurs recherches auprès de praticiens et de chercheurs confirmés. Le RJCF est ouvert à tous les jeunes chercheurs qui, dans leurs travaux s’intéressent de près ou de loin aux questions foncières.

The notion of "heritage"

Les doctorants du laboratoire ITEM ont organisé durant l'année universitaire 2012/2013 un cycle de six séminaires consacré au thème de l'héritage. Il s'agissait d'aborder de manière transversale et interdisciplinaire les questions de transmission, succession, influence, patrimoine, transfert et tradition à partir de leurs travaux de recherche respectifs. Cette année, les doctorants se proposent de discuter une nouvelle fois sur la thématique de l'héritage à travers une journée d'étude intégrée à la formation du master « Cultures, arts et sociétés ».

Nativism and globalisation: comparative approaches to the social sciences

Dans un monde qui se pense de plus en plus sur un mode global, on assiste parallèlement à l’émergence de revendications locales qui recourent à une notion apparemment contradictoire à la mondialisation, à savoir l’autochtonie. Cette dernière se rapporte à la fois à des contextes ethniques (ou ethnicisés), avec l’élaboration de droits aux « peuples autochtones », mais elle est également mobilisée au sein des sociétés occidentales. L’objectif de notre journée vise à croiser des travaux qui portent tant sur les aires culturelles historiquement privilégiées par l’ethnographie que sur les régions plus investies par la sociologie. Cette démarche nous semble heuristiquement féconde pour traiter des points communs comme des différences entre deux procédures de légitimation empruntant finalement aux mêmes catégories de pensée.

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.

Local governance in the United Kingdom and in Ireland

So far, so near

L'IPAG de Valenciennes, l'Université de Valenciennes et du Hainaut-Cambrésis et le réseau européen OLA (Observatory on Local Autonomy) organisent un colloque consacré à l'administration locale au Royaume-Uni et en Irlande. Il sera l'occasion d'examiner les systèmes administratifs locaux à travers le concept de « self government » des deux États, mais aussi de leurs entités, telles que les régions dévolues au Royaume-Uni, dans une perspective comparative.
