  Debating Homelessness

  Actualities and new perspectives in social science research

  Homelessness, has been recognized as a public problem, not only by international organizations, but also by the national and local authorities from many countries. Homelessness became also a scientific problem. Many generations of researchers conducted inquiries among homeless people. They analysed the phenomenon of homelessness in a longer history of the treatment of poverty in the occidental societies. They were also able to describe the survival on the streets, the different configurations of support, the social violence against homeless people, the construction of social problem during different eras, etc. This congress wishes to offer a space for exchange in order to develop new perspectives in the field of homelessness research.

  The struggle for equality and against racism, 1983-2013

  La Marche pour l’égalité et contre le racisme qui part de Marseille le 15 octobre 1983 et se termine à Paris le 3 décembre 1983 constitue un évènement marquant de l’histoire sociale et politique française. Née à Lyon à l’initiative de quelques jeunes et de militants des droits humains issus du quartier des Minguettes à Vénissieux, la Marche, qui rassemble à son arrivée à Paris plus de 100 000 personnes, met l’immigration, essentiellement maghrébine, sur le devant de la scène politique et médiatique. Afin de marquer le trentième anniversaire de la Marche, l’association Génériques consacrera le numéro 41 de sa revue Migrance à cet événement.
