    The Social Life of Names and Naming Practices in the Context of Migration

    Names are not mere labels but powerful tools through which people assert identity, are categorised, and negotiate relationships with states, institutions and communities. Whether they refer to people, places or businesses, names do things : they index belonging and difference, tell stories, record histories of mobility and settlement, and mediate social interaction. This topical collection uses names and naming practices to trace the reconfigurations that accompany migration.

    Punk (1976-2026). Memories and Commemorations of a Transmedial Culture

    Ce colloque bilingue (français et anglais), qui se déroulera du 24 au 26 novembre 2026, prend pour point de départ les 50 ans de « Anarchy in the UK », pour réfléchir sur la mémoire et la commémoration du punk, entendu ici comme un phénomène transnational et transmédiatique. Quelle configuration pour la nostalgie du no future ? Et quelle postérité pour un mouvement si ancré dans le DIY et l’analogique, au sein d’une société où la culture numérique est devenue dominante ?

    Social Network Analysis: Addressing Social Inequalities

    Revue « Recherches sociologiques et anthropologiques », numéro spécial

    These issues of homophily, diffusion, selection, and influence, at the level of both nodes and ties, clearly demonstrate their effects on access to socially valued goods. Network analysis also enables the description of the many social transactions that shape organizations, highlighting complex and nuanced distributions of power that go beyond formal categories and hierarchical positions. In this issue of Recherches sociologiques et anthropologiques, we propose to gather contributions that apply social network analysis to the study of inequalities, with the aim of examining how this approach can contribute to existing work and potentially offer new perspectives.

    Ordinary justice and everyday policing in colonial context (French Empire, 18th-20th centuries)

    Justice and policing are complementary instruments in the hands of a colonial administration characterised by the accumulation of judicial and executive powers in the French empire. In order to move beyond the opposition between the disciplinary approach to colonial rule centred on "indigénat" and its “coercive networks” and a social history of justice sensitive to the relationship between users and the judicial institution in a context of legal pluralism, this conference considers justice and policing as local institutions that shape everyday life and are part of actors' ordinary practices.

    The Nature of Anarchism

    Exploring Complicity and Conflict in the Relations between Anarchists and Environmentalists (19th–21st Centuries)

    This multidisciplinary conference aims to explore the relations between anarchism(s) and ecology(ies) from the 19th century to the present day. It seeks to fill a historiographical blind spot by examining the richness of anarchist ‘environmental reflexivity’, from precursors such as Kropotkin and Reclus to their contemporary reconfigurations. Anarchism's historical rejection of centralised power structures and the productivism of the ‘machine age’ makes it one of the political traditions most in tune with current ecological imperatives. By revisiting these affinities and tensions, the conference will offer new insights into understanding social movements fighting for environmental justice.
