  Research in Language and Religion: Approaches, Descriptions and the Advent of New Identities in Post-colonies

  Research in language and religion has addressed various issues in the humanities and particularly in linguistics. However, the realities of the post-colonial terrain give rise to more complex forms of identity construction, the expression of diversity, and the dynamic tensions between languages and groups. The aim of this call is to study the relationship between language and religious belief in linguistics as well as in other fields of the humanities. It is also a question of questioning the theoretical and methodological aspects mobilized so far by the authors and to see how they allow us to account for the language phenomena that occur in religious situations, especially when they concern multicultural communities.

  Public Policy in Africa

  A Political Economy Perspective

  African scholars’ contributions to public policy theoretical debates and research have remained little or quasi-invisible, especially at the global level of international journals’ databases. There is also little evidence of African terrain. This panel would like to contribute to filling this gap, thereby asking why such gaps, and looking at policy implications. The panel seeks to systematically question, understand and explain the economic divides in producing public policy research and publications at the international level. This panel is an interdisciplinary venue. It is open to contributions from different political and social sciences fields using public policy as an area of research in Africa: economics, anthropology, political sociology, public administration, political economy, international relations, etc.

  Tool box, tools for emancipation

  “Woman Journal” - Volume 2

  The Woman Journal is a periodical that focuses on notions of gender in regards to the spaces we inhabit, with an intersectional feminist perspective. The next issue’s theme is Toolbox: tools for emancipation. We love craft and do it yourself (DIY) and want the magazine to be a resource. Toolbox refers to the desire to share know-how, practices, tutorials and experiences, which we believe participate in creating community. Tools for emancipation refers to the way alternative organizations and experimentations of new societal modelsare shared and passed on.

  Good and evil in the Germanic Middle Ages

  1st PhD Conference Associazione Italiana di Filologia Germanica (AIFG)

  The concepts of good and evil are expressed, from a lexical point of view, in different ways in different Germanic languages and at the same time they are declined in different forms depending on linguistic and literary traditions. The theme takes into account texts of different types: religiouos, legal, medical and so on. Starting from these assumptions, we encourage prospective participants to submit proposals which deal with the theme from a literary, philological, linguistic and/or historical perspective. The call is open to PhD students and PhDs in Germanic Philology and Linguistics.

  Limits of Europeanness? Contested Notions of Difference and Belonging (16th-21st Centuries)

  Fourteenth Annual Conference of the Research Network on the History of the Idea of Europe

  A basic tension inherent in any idea of Europe is that it links some set of “cultural values” to a geographical space on the western fringe of the Asian landmass, but at the same time allows for a significant degree of internal diversity, the boundaries of which are constantly shifting and disputed. There is ample evidence for the continuing force of visions of centre and periphery in this context, both on the territorial and metaphorical level. The variety of ways in which such topographies of cultural values have served to underpin notions of difference and belonging in the light of Europeanness are at the core of this conference. In exploring this multi-faceted field of research, we aim to bring together several disciplines ranging from history, intellectual history and art history over cultural and literary studies to musicology and anthropology.
