Normal or ordinary, accomplished or autonomous?
Life and its shapes for people suffering from chronic mental issues in and after psychiatry
La psychiatrie contemporaine est traversée par d’importantes lignes de tension qui opposent différentes conceptions de ce que sont un trouble et un malade psychiatriques, de ce qu’il faudrait entreprendre pour permettre aux personnes concernées d’accéder à une vie meilleure, et enfin de la façon de définir cette vie. L’objectif de ce colloque est de cerner les façons par lesquelles une perspective de sciences humaines et sociales peut aider à mieux décrire et comprendre les pratiques quotidiennes, les discours théoriques, les espaces, les acteurs (avec une attention particulière portée aux personnes malades), afin d’en dégager les conceptions de la vie et du vivant humain qui y évoluent et s’y entrechoquent parfois, formant ainsi le paysage normatif complexe des mondes de la psychiatrie contemporaine.

PhD Grant in Urban Anthropology of Youth in Laos
EASt provides a PhD grant for a research titled: “Negotiating Identities in Public Spaces Among Old and New Groups of Young City Dwellers in Vientiane, Laos”. The research will explore how young migrants experience, use and appropriate public spaces, including cyberspace, in the Lao fast-developing capital, Vientiane. How are their social maps structured and negotiated in relation to public spaces? How do they interact and perceive their relationship with the local youth born and bred in Vientiane? How do they coexist and socialise in urban public spaces?

PhD position in Chinese studies and cultural studies
This project will explore how young Chinese cosplayers engage with the public at large to express new identities in spaces that are heavily regulated by social and political censoring mechanisms. On the one hand, this doctoral research will explore the structural organisation of Chinese cosplay (associations, conventions); on the other hand, it will look into specific bodily performances in public spaces.

"Tracés", an interdisciplinary journal, vol. 33
The French-language, interdisciplinary journal Tracés invite contributions from all the social sciences and humanities for its 33rd volume, which is due to be published in 2017. This themed collection will engage with land and its uses as social issues. From colonial expansion to new migrants in rural areas, from carbon offsetting to landless peasant movements, the collective relationship to space and its productive uses seems to be a rather diverse collection of problems. However, all of them point towards the legal, technical and economic framing of land and they call for interdisciplinary modes of intellection that are not averse to geographical and ecological aspects and insights. This issue will assemble studies that seek to shed light on the past and contemporary politicization of land and land resources. Contributions in English are welcome, although publication will be in French.

“Medicalized” Childbirth as a Public Problem
Risk Culture(s), Gender Politics, Techno-Reflexivities
Obstetrical knowledge, technologies and practices have dramatically transformed women’s reproductive experiences worldwide. Medicalization of childbirth was accelerated in the XXth century by the displacement of childbirth from home to the hospital, and by the generalization of surgical techniques and pharmaceutical products. Medical interventionism took multiple, situated forms. Relying on cross-cultural investigations and field data from diverse national contexts (France, USA, Italy, Brazil, Senegal, Turkey, Switzerland, Canada…), this international workshop investigates how “technological” birth came into being, and how it is produced, problematized, framed, and negotiated in the XXIst century.

Public communication and the metamorphosis of the social space
La question des « métamorphoses de l’espace social », liée à la communication met en relation la dimension des changements opérés dans les sociétés contemporaines et le rôle de la communication publique dans les nouvelles reconfigurations territoriales aussi bien au niveau administratif, organisationnel et culturel, qu’au niveau politique et économique. En effet, la notion d’espace public est incontournable dans les approches communicationnelles du changement organisationnel lié à la gouvernance publique. Néanmoins a-t-elle la même signification et les mêmes charges culturelles ?

The Culture and Politics of Resentment
Fung Global Fellow Program - Princeton University
Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program selects six international scholars to be in residence at Princeton for one academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. During the academic year 2017/18, the program theme will be “The Culture and Politics of Resentment.” Resentment is a powerful emotion for expressing culture and politics. Experiences and memories of humiliation, oppression, and marginalization have stimulated emotions of resentment, and produced compelling demands for political inclusion and justice around the world. Alternatively, rage against what is seen as the “tyranny of the minority,” inequality, the corruption and aloofness of elites, the “foreign,” and the illegitimate have generated powerful populist upsurges against the perceived enemies of a homogeneous body of “the people.”

Student movements and (post-)colonial emancipations
Transnational itineraries, dialogues and programmes
This conference will discuss the transnational and connected history of student engagements in colonial liberations and the critical reflection on the multilateral management of conflicts in the postcolonial period. It will investigate internal and external tensions, and the reorganisation of these movements in relation to pacifism, revolutionary struggle, conflict prevention and peace making. It will also consider the impact of the new multilateral management of conflicts (through the United Nations, but also the European Union) on European and North American societies, including on young people and student movements, whose membership often goes far beyond national spheres.

Contemporary artistic practices and the issues related to their diffusion and to their reception
We would like to tackle the subject of contemporary art and focus on the ways, means and forms of its diffusion and reception. The issue of addressing the public seems essential to us. Because of the multiple forms and practices contemporary art encompasses - which range from painting to interactive devices or virtual reality - definitely raises this question. The reception of contemporary art is a fundamental issue.

Interdisciplinary approaches and European perspectives
La notion de diversité, une notion ancienne mais toujours d’intérêt dans l’espace scientifique et de l’action sociale, interroge aujourd’hui le renouvellement de nos façons de concevoir et de produire le vivre ensemble, nos mondes partagés, ainsi que les normes et valeurs définissant nos sociétés. Dans quelle mesure la notion de diversité – ses manifestations, ses représentations, ses politiques – est-elle toujours d’actualité comme analyseur des questions et défis de nos sociétés, des formes renouvelées de citoyenneté ?

Public communication in the territories, an imperative for the politics of regionalisation
Le Maroc a fait le choix de la régionalisation territoriale avancée depuis septembre 2015. Mais pour que cette régionalisation soit une réalité fonctionnelle et crédible, un de ses objectifs stratégiques devra être la participation effective et la fédération de toutes les énergies locales : citoyens, partenaires sociaux, société civile, acteurs économiques… Tous devraient êtes mobilisés pour se l'approprier, y croire et y adhérer. Leur implication réelle est le meilleur gage de sa réussite. Voilà pourquoi la communication doit être reconnue en tant que composante absolue de la politique des instances territoriales. En plus de son aspect technique, ô combien important, résidant dans la transmission de l’information, comme fondement de transparence et de bonne gestion, au quotidien, elle devrait, in fine, porter une nouvelle culture de gouvernance, de participation et de proximité.

The body in movement 3: the transformation of the body
International congress
Les sciences de la vie et du vivant gouvernent les représentations contemporaines du corps. Elles tranchent entre le sain et le malsain, la sécurité et le risque, conjecturant les modalités de la vie et de la mort. Elles contribuent à définir la beauté, la jeunesse éternelle, la forme, exigences sociales prioritaires. Il s’agit au final de faire du corps vivant ce que l’on désire, à partir de la maîtrise et des calculs désormais permis par des moyens inédits. Émerge ainsi le fantasme d’un corps sous contrôle de la raison. L’homme pense posséder les instruments nécessaires à réaliser ses volontés de transformation de son être. Le rêve est à portée de médicaments, de régimes, d’entraînement sportif, de bistouri...

Available multimedia content is rapidly increasing in scale and diversity, yet today, multimedia data remain mostly unconnected, i.e., with no explicit links between related fragments. LIMAH aims at exploring hypergraph structures for multimedia collections, instantiating actual links between fragments of multimedia documents, where links reflect particular content-based proximity—similar content, thematic proximity, opinion expressed, answer to a question, etc. LIMAH leverages technological aspects and usage aspects from the standpoint of law and human science to apprehend linked media contents globally and develop a long term vision of the domain in addition to scientific and technological contributions.

The museum and its environment - the contours of the museum space
3rd study for doctoral students in museum studies at Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle
Toute institution muséale s’inscrit dans un contexte – social, géographique, économique, politique, etc. – et est amenée à affirmer son identité et sa place dans ce contexte en traçant les contours de son espace. Ce processus de négociation des frontières et des limites s’opère au travers de multiples médiations et compromis. L’analyse du musée ne peut donc s’affranchir d’une réflexion sur ce qui l’entoure et sur les relations que celui-ci entretient avec ce qui se situe en dehors de lui.

Education in entrepreneurial spirit
Interdisciplinary issues concerning the forms and impact of educational development
Ce numéro thématique vise donc à ouvrir un espace de réflexion autour de ce qu’il convient d’appeler, en référence au champ plus large des « éducation à », l’éducation à l’esprit d’entreprendre qui vise à développer l’esprit d’entreprendre des jeunes, plutôt que leur esprit d’entreprise.
