    Mourning and Memory in Latin America. Social Emergencies, Narrative and Artistic Elaborations

    « Amerika » numéro 31

    Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un élan démocratique se fait jour en Amérique latine. Il s’exprime au travers d’élections, mais se manifeste aussi dans des mouvements sociaux ou des révoltes. En lien avec les tensions générées par la guerre froide qui favorisent les coups d’État dans différents pays, des dictatures se mettent toutefois en place dès les années 60. Trouvant leur justification dans la doctrine de la « sécurité nationale », ces dictatures sont fondées sur le contrôle social, la persécution politique et l’usage massif d’une violence étatique. Mais des stratégies de résistance se développent, variables selon les contextes politiques et socio-économiques des pays. Quelles mémoires, artistiques et narratives, découlent de ces événements ?

    “Community Healthcare” in the Americas: (dis)continuities and reappropriations

    Revue « IdeAs » n°28 (automne 2026)

    Community health, which refers to a set of practices and intervention models grounded in social participation and a promotional-preventive approach, began to emerge during the 1960s as an alternative way of delivering healthcare. The American continent was one of the incubators of this approach, drawing on liberation theology and popular education movements in Latin America, the Free Clinics and the Neighborhood Health Clinics in the United States, and the interaction between popular movements and the State during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. This issue of the journal IdeAs proposes a continental approach to community health.

    Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism in Contemporary Europe (1960s to the Present): Internationalisation, Circulation and Representations

    The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

    Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control

    This workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today's 'detention archipelagos' in migration regimes. By the term “internment” - therefore declined in the plural - we mean all forms of imprisonment, forced segregation such as confinement, containment, encampment, concentration, etc. that aim to remove/enclose individuals or entire populations in prisons, camps, places otherwise adapted for this purpose.

    Geographies of Vulnerability. Assessing Protection in the Screening and Resettlement of Refugees

    Central to policy discourses on refugee protection and resettlement is the imperative to include those with the greatest needs. International protection mechanisms for refugees increasingly aim to categorize and identify target populations according to their vulnerability. This topical collection recognizes vulnerability as fluid and contested, shaped by evolving policy landscapes and international cooperation dynamics and explores the impact of different understandings of vulnerability on access to protection and the aim of burden-sharing.

    Democracy at the University

    Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World

     This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

    The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension

    1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium

    The 1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium ‘The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension’ aims to reflect on issues of insularity and archipelagos in the conception of today's world, marked by environmental crises, new trends in human development and reinterpretations of place and its dynamics. Thinking about islands and archipelagos, in all their trans- and inter-material dimensions, equivalences and disparities, influences the conception not only of these discontinued worlds from their continental matrix (in some cases), but also of territories which are assumed to be outside the continent, with ontic possibilities of a truly archipelagic context.

    The making of education in the South

    RIED 261

    This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).

    Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity

    Espaces et Société n°200, march 2027

    This special issue aims to highlight the spatial dimension of public goods maintenance and evolution in the context of austerity by adopting the spatial care perspective through three axes: 1) actors and practices involved in maintaining public goods; 2) maintaining public goods on a day-to-day basis; 3) the work and values of public goods. We encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experimentation, bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. This call is open to interdisciplinary, national and international contributions.
