  Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)

  How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between  mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

  "Get angry!"

  Anger in all its forms - conference

  Le thème retenu des Entretiens d’Auxerre cette année est « En colère ! ». Nous avons voulu décliner notre réflexion à partir de plusieurs moments distincts, dans le fond et dans la forme, associant experts, praticiens et échanges avec le public. À la suite d’une table ronde introductive sur l’actualité renouvelée des colères politiques, nous reviendrons sur les colères populaires passées et présentes, sur l’interprétation mythologique et philosophique de la colère dans la pensée antique, mais aussi sur l’apport psychologique de la colère à la construction du soi, pour conclure sur la présentation des représentations artistiques de la colère des colères, celle de Dieu ou des dieux.

  Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes

  Xth Congress World mediation forum

  The WMF’s mission is the development and exchange of knowledge, information and competencies in all mediation areas, notably through the regular organization of international congresses for more than fifteen years. The Xth Conference of the World Mediation Forum wants to devote itself to trying to understand how mediation can be organized and developed when it has so many objectives that are seemingly difficult to reconcile. Thus, the 2019 conference will try to bring, through four highly interrelated roundtables and about forty presentations, a significant contribution to this question: 'Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes?'

  Decolonization and postcolonial issues of childhood and youth (1945-1980)

  While young people played a large role in building colonial empires, they were also an essential concern in decolonization. Indeed, the emancipation process of colonized peoples in the second half of the twentieth century raised with great force the social and political issue of children and young people in the colonial and post-colonial context, both in newly-independent and ex-colonizing countries. In a complex set of political and diplomatic, economic and social, demographic and populationist, philosophical and religious questions, colonial and post-colonial issues surrounding children and young people gave rise to specific biopolitics. Children and young people were subjects of policies desired or supported by biopowers and implemented by varied protagonists such as armies, organizations, humanitarians, colonialists, activists, or regular citizens.
