Call for papers - History

Origin(s) and latest developments

The question of repentance now applies to the public sphere and concerns huge collective bodies as well as individuals. It has a complex relationship with history. Repentance has even become a global issue and now concerns a wide range of geographical and cultural areas as well taking on many forms referring to facts whose scale, temporal distance or context are in no way comparable with it. Indeed, the roots of repentance are to be found in many traditions (religious, cultural, national and community) and nowadays, announcements (through the media at large) give rise to secular forms of repentance which are devoid of the dimensions that traditionally form the definition of repentance.

The rural Renaissance from one century to the next?

Rural study days 2016 - 25 years of rural dynamics

La parution de « La renaissance rurale » et la naissance du laboratoire « Dynamiques Rurales » sont quasiment concomitantes. Un quart de siècle plus tard, quel sort faisons-nous à « La renaissance rurale » ? L’objectif n’est pas tant de reprendre la polémique entre les tenants de la crise rurale et de sa disparition programmée, opposés aux tenants d’une renaissance rurale aux accents parfois localistes et militants. Il s’agit plutôt de revenir sur le fond, sur le projet qui a guidé l’ouvrage : une tentative de synthèse des réflexions des années 1970 et 1980 en vue de refonder l’objet « rural », de donner les grands axes d’un modèle de compréhension d’un rapport société – espace. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui de ce projet ? Dans l’objectif de construire un bilan et des perspectives, nous proposons de centrer le colloque sur des points de controverse qui ont animé les études rurales durant ces dernières décennies.

Conference, symposium - Representation

Comics and sport

During the final talks of the fruitful international conference named “body languages in comics” set up by the junior drawn sciences laboratory of the Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) in Lyon on 8th and 9th October 2014, the idea to carry on, in a more precise way, the numerous debates on the occasion of a later scientific event was mentioned. In light of this, the C3S laboratory (“culture, sport, health and society”) of the University of Bourgogne/Franche-Comté organises holding an international symposium in order to study how sport is depicted in comics. Researchers in the C3S laboratory dedicate their work to sport sciences with a theoretical and epistemological commitment marked by interdisciplinarity. According to this stance, the international conference is open to various contributions allowing to understand the representations (whether they be historical, sociological, anthropological, literary, semiotic, psychological…etc…) of sport in comics.

Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations

The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)

The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of socialist trade unions.

The production of oil and amphora in the Guadalquivir basin in the Roman period

Entre 2013 et 2015, un programme de recherches du LabEx Archimède a été consacré à l’économie rurale de la vallée du Genil à l’époque romaine à travers l’étude des ateliers d’amphores à huile. Des prospections pédestres ont concerné une trentaine d’ateliers pour lesquels on dispose désormais d’une riche documentation, issue d’un protocole d’étude homogène. Plus de 800 timbres ont été collectés et complètent les études antérieures dont la dernière en date est celle de P. Berni en 2008. Une production insoupçonnée et importante de Dr. 23 a également été mise en évidence qui montre la vitalité économique de cette zone à la fin de l’Antiquité.

Political conflict, neoliberalism and "well-being" during the citizen revolutionary period in the Equator (2007-2013)

Depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir de la révolution citoyenne en 2007, un scénario de haute conflictualité s’est ouvert en Équateur autour des nouvelles orientations de l’État, de l’économie et du modèle de développement. La dispute politique ne touche pas seulement les défenseurs et détracteurs des politiques du consensus de Washington, mais a aussi confronté ceux qui cherchent le dépassement de l’agenda néolibéral. Ainsi, à l’intérieur du gouvernement, dans le camp de la gauche équatorienne et au sein des mouvements sociaux et politiques, il existe une diversité de positions sur les voies possibles et nécessaires pour aller au-delà de l’« économie de marché », dominante dans le pays depuis le début des années 1980. Ce dossier s’intéresse à la fois au conflit politique autour des orientations de la transition dans le modèle de développement et aux spécificités politiques impulsées par le gouvernement pour dépasser cette transition.

Housing and inequalities

Espaces et sociétés

In a general context of growing social inequalities, this issue reviews the role that housing plays in the system of inequalities, on the one hand, and in the multiple variations of housing inequalities, on the other. Faced with growing tensions in the housing market, we seek contributions that capture the changes at work in a field well-trodden by urban studies. Produced by class domination, racism and gender, how are today's inequalities intersect in analyses of access and housing conditions? How are inequalities produced in housing, who are the actors, what is the role of public policy? Beside typical situations, we encourage contributors to provide analyses of minority forms of housing as "social fact park" or de facto social housing in the private sector and existing housing stock and via third parties. Finally, this Call for Papers asks what are the consequences of housing inequality on the (re)production of inequality, and the changing classificatory function of housing.

Zone: the space of a life on the margins

Espaces et sociétés

While the everyday of "suburban youth" occupies the attention of French sociologists, the other face of the youths that have been relegated to "dropouts" (“zonards”) remains virtually invisible in terms of the social sciences. This issue aims to provide a first synthesis of French work on “the zone” as an area of life on the margins, and a presentation of pioneering English-language research in this field of study. This will be explore the range or meanings of experiments whose originality derives from a shared nomadic lifestyle, keeping a distance from institutions, as well as normative territories. The expected proposals will favor the investigation of spaces and the constituent cultures of dropouts (squatters, punks, ravers ...).

Canada – Quebec – Caribbean: transamerican connections

Les liens entre la région Caraïbe, la province de Québec et le Canada sont anciens et diversifiés. Tourisme, coopérations scientifiques et techniques, extractions de ressources, migrations sont autant de ponts tracés entre le centre géographique des Amériques et son extrémité septentrionale. Plus récemment, c’est dans les secteurs de la préservation de l’environnement, de la participation aux projets régionaux de développement, des migrations transnationales et de l’étude des mémoires partagées que ces relations transcontinentales opèrent leurs mutations afin de se présenter comme des éléments essentiels à la compréhension de « notre Amérique ».

Social and tecnical Innovations for water management

8th congress CEISAL

De tout temps l’innovation tant technique que sociale, a fait partie de l’histoire de la maîtrise et de la gestion de l’eau : procédés d’irrigation développés par les grandes sociétés de la Mésopotamie Antique et de l’Espagne musulmane, organisation sociale du partage de l’eau dans les sociétés indiennes ou latino-américaines, transferts interbassins ou barrages, etc. Mais dans un contexte plus récent de dégradation quantitative et qualitative de cette ressource, de changements climatiques, de croissance urbaine accélérée des grandes métropoles, d’une agriculture irriguée largement sollicitée, d’un cadre institutionnel en évolution, l’innovation est de nouveau interrogée pour répondre aux besoins en eau.

All Fontanarrosa: The Work of a Complete Humourist

When the Argentine Roberto Fontanarrosa passed away in 2007, a national day of mourning was declared and his funeral was attended by thousands. Although Fontanarrosa was much loved and both the man and his works have received public recognition time and again, there are very few published academic works on his œuvre to this day. This proposed anthology seeks to fill this gap by paying attention to Fontanarrosa’s work as a whole

Rewriting: logic of repetition?

III International Conference in Narratives

The third International Conference in Narratives, organized by Universidad EAFIT (Medellín, Colombia) and Università degli Studi di Padova, proposes rewriting as an object of reflection from the arts, humanities, social sciences and communication sciences. To interrogate the gesture of writing a text again, it involves accounting for an operation that, in its apparent simplicity, shows the experience of time and repetition, the recording of memory, the tension between imitation and difference, and the means of reproduction and creation. Along its relationships, objects and notions that it implies, the gesture of rewriting is exemplary and heuristic; it has become a model for understanding various phenomena and cultural practices.

Boethius revisited

The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time

With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.

Work and creativity

Travailler n’est pas exécuter. Ce hiatus entre ce qui est défini comme étant à faire et ce qui est fait conduit à explorer l’épaisseur du travail. On y découvre l’invention de manières de faire qui permettent de singulariser l’activité, la mobilisation et le détournement de moyens visant à dépasser les obstacles rencontrés… Arts de faire, métis, bricolage, intelligence pratique, renormalisation, stylisation... Autant de conceptualisations de la puissance inventive engagée dans le travail vivant.

Texts, territories, technologies: another extraordinary journey

6th Hispano-Luso- French conference

Ce colloque interdisciplinaire se propose d'analyser l’évolution de ces savoirs mobilisés tels que la langue, la littérature, la géographie, les sciences « dures » ou encore l’histoire. La prise en compte de ces savoirs « hétérogènes », les mécanismes de leur transmission, ainsi que le développement individualisé que ces sciences ont eu, seront au cœur de nos interrogations.
