Call for papers - Sociology

The Ethics of Gold

Revue internationale des études du développement n°249 (2022-2)

This call for papers falls broadly within the scope of ongoing debates around the relationship between development paths and gold mining activities, and around the social and political reconfigurations caused by these extractive activities. It aims to grasp the heuristic significance of gold in order to examine the processes of change, structuring, and destructuring at work at different scales of the gold production network and supply chain. It particularly welcomes studies grounded in empirics to primarily address the following issues: responsibility, (possible) sustainability, legitimation, and social justice.

Call for papers - Modern

New masses, old questions. New views on collective intelligence

Revue « Essais »

In a regressive approach, this thematic issue of the journal Essais envisages starting from the new configurations of the mass in the digital age to question in a fresh way the ambivalence constitutive of the historical reflection on the masses, at the same time fantasized for their intelligence and their potential of emancipation and depreciated for their incompetence and their passivity. This issue, in an interdisciplinary approach, aims to bring together specialists in new technologies, the practices and imaginaries they engender, with those interested in the theoretical, historical, fictional and figurative dimensions of this collective subject.

Migration Triage and Experiences of Blocking : Africa, America, Europe

On a global scale, many migrant populations are stopped in their journey at international border or on the roads and places that are gradually built up as internal state borders. The political processes of contention are currently a common denominator of the production of blocked situations, as part of a transformation of the dynamics of control and surveillance. The « border effects » have in common that they confront migrants, like asylum seekers, with forms of blockage, lengthening waiting periods, producing new social dynamics, temporalities and spatiality where various actors intervene. The objective of the conference is to analyze the diversity of migratory situations produced by blockage at different levels according to their production context. The aim of the event is to participate in the construction of a comparative framework to address these situations by putting into perspective the construction of migration policies and their effects in Africa, Latin America and Europe.

“Laboreal” Journal, July 2022

In numerous socio-professional activities (in agriculture, the police, the army, health, research, art, the environment, among others), humans and animals work together. In recent years, research in the human and social sciences has highlighted the specificities of cooperation between humans and animals, and has shown the existence of animal work, thus opening a new field of research. We now know that the rules of work are built intra- and inter-specific: between humans and between animals and humans. The aim of this issue is to discuss and analyze these activities, and the associated ethical and deontological issues. We seek to address the issue of human work with animals, as well as animal work itself. Therefore, this dossier seeks to discuss both the relationship between humans and animals and the engagement of animals in work.

Call for papers - Economy

The blue economy in the Caribbean: challenges and development

The objective of this thematic issue is to provide an overview of the blue economy in the Caribbean. The concept of the blue economy, relating to the use and conservation of aquatic resources and ecosystems, is increasingly being put forward to promote sustainable development of the islands (Failler and Phang). While traditional sectors, such as beach tourism, commercial and recreational fishing, and maritime transport occupy the forefront of the economic scene, several emerging sectors such as biotechnology, marine renewable energy, and deep mining are emerging (Patil et al., 2016). As can the protection of the coastline and the improvement of its resilience capacities to cope with the effects of climate change (Failler, 2020). The development of nature-based solutions in recent years on cyclone-prone islands is an example of this.

Call for papers - Representation

Creating and researching audiovisual spaces

Interferences between production conditions, design processes and aesthetic choices

Spatium, Latin root of the word “space”, reveals the extent of interpretations this idea covers. Spatium is at once distance and stretch of time, path and measure, racecourse and arena. Space therefore emerges as a structuring principal, being defined by its limits, its position or its organisation – in short, by what surrounds it, that to which it is opposed – since we establish it as being relational. Spaces depend in this sense on the perspective from which they are observed. The symposium’s aim is to question the audiovisual world’s interest in space. We will observe the ways in which different audiovisual spaces interfere with each other and their influence on the film-works’ creation-reception line.

Call for papers - Geography

Local production and appropriations of globalised urban planning

The acceleration of globalisation and the massive urbanisation of the planet over the past forty years have played a powerful role in the transformation of cities. These worldwide dynamics are often presented as sources of a homogenisation of the cities’ organisational principles and the policies guiding their development, as well as urban forms and architectural styles. The result would thus be a ‘globalised urban planning’, in the sense of a uniform vision of the ways of creating the city promoted by the intensified circulation of ideas and models, the mobility of urban planning actors and the concentration of capital on a global scale. ‘Globalised fragments’ (Verdeil, 2006, p. 160) would be the symbol of this process, characterised by an influx of private stakeholders and specific planning schemes where the production of urban images play a key role.

Black Lives Matter: a transnational movement

Revue « Esclavages et post-esclavages / Slaveries and post-slaveries »

The aim of this special number is therefore to bring together articles analysing the growth of Black Lives Matter (BLM) to a transnational movement. Contributions should show awareness of the concrete modes of circulation and appropriation, and to the repercussions of campaigns linked to BLM, but also of the historical and political ruptures and continuities implied and explained by them. Contributions bearing on the role of new information and communications technologies (NITC) and social networks, especially in the spreading of images (videos of police violence, artworks etc), and their role in the transnational development of the movement will be given close attention.

Circulating between "extremes"

Nationalisms as a common denominator between the Americas and Europe (20th-21st centuries)

Les temps de crise mettent en évidence des phénomènes intellectuels et politiques qualifiés d’atypiques en Europe mais inscrits dans une temporalité longue en Amérique latine. Tel est le cas des convergences, occasionnelles ou plus durables, à l’échelle nationale ou transnationale, entre les extrêmes d’un échiquier politique plutôt pensé en termes de droite(s) ou de gauche(s). Or, cette dichotomie n’est pas toujours pertinente pour rendre compte des expériences latino-américaines, et des coïncidences survenant dans les représentations politiques et stratégiques : entre militants d’extrême droite et organisations se revendiquant du marxisme, de secteurs du trotskisme et de mouvances nationalistes, de membres d’organisations révolutionnaires et de groupes paramilitaires ou enfin d’intellectuels oscillant entre socialisme et fascisme. La relation entre la nation en tant que projet et le nationalisme comme idéologie semble fonder cette spécificité régionale. Telle est l’hypothèse que nous souhaiterions discuter à l’occasion de cette journée d’étude.

Musei, sive bibliothecæ of Claude Clément: the library and its usefulness

Social, intellectual and moral functions

Musei, sive bibliothecae tan privatae quam publicae Extructio, Instructio, Cura, Usus (Lyon, 1635) du jésuite Claude Clément (Ornans, 1596-Madrid, 1642) est considéré comme l’un des ouvrages fondateurs de ce qu’on appellera plus tard la bibliothéconomie. Au-delà de ses apports théoriques, il s’agit aussi d’un recueil d’érudition d’une extraordinaire richesse, à l’image de la langue latine que l’auteur emploie. Une équipe de chercheurs appartenant à l'Institut des sciences et techniques de l’Antiquité se consacre à l’étude et à la traduction de ce livre en français en commençant par le discours programmatique de l’œuvre. Cette équipe souhaite pouvoir partager son travail et interagir avec d’autres chercheurs que ces questions intriguent lors d’une rencontre scientifique.

Equal rights, de facto inequalities in the Americas, multidisciplinary approaches

Le colloque Égalité de droit, inégalités de fait dans les Amériques s’intéressera tant aux problématiques des inégalités qu’aux formes de résistance ou de mobilisation pour l’égalité. L’approche proposée par le colloque sera avant tout pluri et interdisciplinaire ; toutes les approches seront les bienvenues, qu’elles aient trait à l’histoire, la sociologie, l’anthropologie, la géographie, l’urbanisme, l’architecture, l’histoire de l’art, les sciences de la nature et de l’environnement, le droit, la narratologie, etc. Les analyses pourront adopter une perspective diachronique aussi bien que synchronique et également miser sur la comparaison entre plusieurs situations d’inégalités/égalités. L’analyse des « inégalités » pourra se faire selon une approche intersectionnelle, croisant le genre, la classe sociale, la racisation ou encore, l’âge, l’orientation sexuelle, la religion...

Medical uses of mineral waters (1300-1850)

The journal Histoire, médecine et santé is launching a call for proposals for a thematic issue devoted to the ‘water medicine’ before the rise of 19^th century hydrotherapy. We would like to solicit original research focusing on the therapeutic uses of mineral waters in a transhistorical perspective. Proposals can be sent, for example, on the administrative management of mineral waters and their therapeutics, on the geographical issues related to water medicine, their localisation and their hierarchy. The place of mineral waters in a medical market could also be studied as well as their integration to economies of knowledge. Finally, mineral waters are a formidable starting point to think about environmental medicine. The calendar of this call aims at allowing the integration of emerging projects and the dialogue between the contributors. Proposals must be sent by May 21, 2021. Papers will be submitted in January 2022.

Arts of Educating

The Emergence and Construction of the Modern Schooling Paradigm (Mid-20th Century – First quarter of the 20th Century)

This issue seeks to map a wide range of public institutions, pioneering experiences and innovative pedagogic discourses that informed and consolidated an explicit educational impulse at the tail end of the Early Modern Period. This issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal seeks to contribute with its specific inquiries to an understanding of a wide-ranging civilizational endeavour that has never ceased to connect – in increasingly efficient and substantial ways – the spheres of power and knowledge.

Nobility and animals

In the Hispanic worlds (Middle Ages, modern era)

Ces deux demi-journées d'étude ont pour objet l'animal et la noblesse dans les mondes hispaniques au Moyen Âge et à l'époque moderne. La rencontre se propose d'explorer, à travers des communications en français et en espagnol, les relations qui lient différents animaux, qu’ils soient réels ou chimériques, à la noblesse. Elles interrogeront, dans un premier temps, l'ambivalence des valeurs allégoriques accordées à l'animal, noble ou ignoble, puis s'intéresseront à son utilisation comme instrument iconographique et discursif au service d'une rhétorique aristocratique.

Adventure playgrounds of the past/for the future

Current state of knowledge, issues and perspectives

Adventure playgrounds are unique spaces of play. While the 1990s saw their disappearance in France, a recent resurgence has brought up questions around their legacy and theoretical basis as socio-pedagogical experiments. This symposium, organised by TAPLA (Terrains d’aventure du passé/pour l’avenir – Adventure playgrounds of the past/for the future) and supported by Labex: pasts in the present, is designed to investigate how adventure playgrounds raise questions around the place accorded to children in the city, and more specifically, children’s unmediated experience of socio-spacial learning systems. In addition, we aim to lay the groundwork for an international, interdisciplinary network, combining the human and social sciences with spacial design and urban planning, along with the fields of education and socio-cultural community work.

Decolonial studies. From theory to practice

Abya Yala, Caribbean, Africa, Europe, Asia

The arrival and emergence of studies, research or reflections claiming to be “decolonial” in Europe or in formerly colonised societies (particularly in Africa) should not be reduced to another anachronistic or nativist intellectual mode seeking to simplify or replay colonial encounters as certain authors or journalists (especially in France) think. If these studies seem recent to the French-speaking reader, and more particularly to the French reader, it should be pointed out that they stem from a Latin-American intellectual critical tradition (dialoguing with several intellectual streams such as the theory of dependence, liberation theology, studies on the world-system) and that several publications by Latin-American or Latin-American researchers have been describing them for several decades.

A century of "Ethno-subjects"

1921-2021 - From the Revue de Botanique Appliquée journal to the Revue d'Ethnoécologie journal

Le 15 mai 1921, Auguste Chevalier lançait le premier numéro du premier volume de la Revue de botanique appliquée et d’agriculture coloniale. Roland Portères a repris sa publication en 1954 sous le nom de Journal d'agriculture tropicale et de botanique appliquée, qui paraît jusqu’en 2000. L'entreprise s'est poursuivie en 2012 par le lancement de l’actuelle Revue d’ethnoécologie, qui veut s'inscrire dans cette longue lignée scientifique replacée dans le mouvement international des sciences humaines. Plus que des choix éditoriaux, les modifications successives du titre reflètent le glissement des champs de recherche : botanique appliquée (dite Economic botany dans le monde anglophone), agronomie coloniale, agronomie tropicale, agriculture traditionnelle, ethnobotanique et ethnozoologie, ethnobiologie, ethnoécologie. Nous avons là un siècle d’une pensée singulière d’études renouvelées des relations au vivant qui, d’un point de vue éditorial, a su s’épanouir au Muséum national d’histoire naturelle.
