  Contemporary configurations of racism and Eurocentrism

  Debates on academic and political discourses and practices

  The main objective of this international workshop is to promote a debate that engages both with current issues on knowledge/history production and with contemporary discourses/policies on immigration and ‘integration’, taking their intersection as crucial to unravel the relations between the constant (re)making of nation boundaries and ideas of political belonging. We propose that a breakthrough approach requires the challenging of a Eurocentric paradigm, now hegemonic, that is preventing a thorough debate on racism as being embedded on the history of modern science, capitalism, liberal democracies and the state of law.

  Gardens of justice

  Critical legal conference 2012

  The theme for this year’s Critical Legal Conference is “Gardens of Justice”. Although the theme may be interpreted in different ways, it suggests thinking about law and justice as a physical as well as a social environment, created for specific purposes, at a certain distance from society and yet as an integral part of it. The theme also invites you to think about justice as a concrete metaphor rather than an abstract concept. Just like any ordinary garden, legal institutions affect both people working in them and people who are just passing through their arrangements.

  The Place of Ethics in the Teaching of Languages for Special Purposes

  S’adressant à des étudiants spécialistes d’autres disciplines, les enseignants de langues du secteur LANSAD contribuent à la formation de futurs professionnels. Faire acquérir à leurs apprenants les clés de la langue-culture d’un milieu professionnel est l’une de leurs missions. L’éthique fait partie du savoir-être et des codes professionnels, elle implique l’individu comme l’entreprise. Cependant, des questions se posent : quelle place doit-elle occuper dans le contenu de l’enseignement des langues ? À quel moment faut-il l’introduire ? Avec quels outils et méthodes ?

  Young adults and their eating habits

  Centre de Recherche de l'Institut Paul Bocuse symposium

  Each year, the Institut Paul Bocuse Research Centre welcomes researchers and professionals to exchange over a theme from various angles: biological, psychological, social or economic approaches.For its 2012 edition, the conference concerns the eating behavior of young adults. Indeed, youth is a critical phase that allows the transition from adolescence to adulthood, a period where individuals’ culinary and eating behaviors are constructed. The question can be raised of how far young adults are willing to go on with their family eating habits and how far they wish to break with transmitted values and build new schemes.

  Grammar and genre: interfaces and influences

  This symposium aims to study the interfaces between grammar and genre: the purpose is to investigate how genre affects grammatical choices. How are genre distinctions reflected in grammar, be it for example literary vs. media genres, or distinctions such as argumentative, informative, persuasive, expressive, or narrative genres? Is a specific genre belonging to a particular domain, e.g. sport news vs. economy news, characterized by certain grammatical choices? Possible genre distinctions are various, and both empirical questions related to the theme and more theoretical implications and reflections thereof are welcome.

  Experimental Methods in Communication

  Revue ESSACHESS volume 6, n°1

  Experimental methods are increasingly employed in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS). The coordinators of Essachess – Journal of Communication Studies want to offer in this issue a progress report on “Experimental methods in communication”. Indeed, in a set of relevant disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences, the epistemological interest for these approaches and their complementary input is widely recognized. We want to address the question extremely important for ICS, especially within the French setting: In what theoretical frameworks, for which subjects, and under what conditions are these methods employed and do they prove relevant?

Marshall Hodgson (1922-1968), un des plus grands historiens américains de l'Islam et par ailleurs un géographe de génie et un des premiers grands penseurs de l'histoire globale.
