Race in the marketplace (RIM)

Crossing Critical Boundaries

Race in the Marketplace (RIM) is an international multidisciplinary research network dedicated to innovatively advancing knowledge and critically understanding the role of race and how it intersects with class, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality and disability in global marketplaces. Building on our successful inaugural RIM Research Forum held in Washington D.C in spring 2017, we have decided to broaden the movement across the Atlantic and hold the second biannual RIM Research Forum in Paris (France) from June 25 to June 27, 2019. The broad objective of this second Forum is to continue the dialogue across domains, disciplines and geographical boundaries to contribute to an integrated understanding of race in markets.

ReFocus: The Films of Rachid Bouchareb

Rachid Bouchareb was born in Paris in 1953 to Algerian parents and became one of France’s first French filmmakers of North African descent. While his career now spans over thirty years and his diverse films have garnered both mainstream and critical success, including three Oscar nominations, there exists no book-length study (in French or English) on Bouchareb’s body of work. The director’s films are remarkably varied in their themes, formal elements, and narrative settings, from Senegal, England, Vietnam, and Algeria, to France, Belgium, Turkey, and the United States.

Plural cities - the urban geographies of difference

L'information géographique journal

À la croisée des études urbaines et d’une géographie à la fois culturelle, politique et sociale, cet appel à articles pour la revue L'Information Géographique vise à poursuivre et enrichir les réflexions nombreuses menées dans le champ de la justice spatiale et du droit à la ville autour des processus d’éviction et la lutte des places, la gouvernance et la fabrique urbaines. En tentant de comprendre dans quelle mesure la construction, la gestion ou l’exclusion de la différence transforment et organisent les espaces urbains, et en soulignant ce que cela nous apprend sur les rapports de pouvoir à l’œuvre, le futur dossier contribuera à cerner l’intérêt d’une prise en compte de la différence en tant que facteur fondamental de la fabrique spatiale dans la réflexion géographique.

Healthy and good to eat

Thinking our contemporary daily food habits through the optic of health

Ces deux journées ont pour volonté de nous amener à penser notre rapport actuel à l’alimentation qui se trouve aujourd’hui en prise avec de nombreux discours portés par différents acteurs du monde social : institutions de santé publique, industries agroalimentaires, médecins, experts médiatiques, journalistes… Si on observe depuis plusieurs années un rapport à notre alimentation qui tend à se médicaliser, les dimensions de plaisir et de convivialité restent toujours prédominantes. Une lecture rapide et simpliste nous amènerait à penser que manger sain ne peut pas être une source de plaisir et qu’il existe une forte dichotomie entre ces deux aspects. Si le bien manger tend souvent à limiter notre alimentation aux dimensions nutritionnelles, le bon à manger propose une autre lecture de nos comportements alimentaires. En effet, il lie le plaisir et le sain car le bon se compose du bon au goût, bon pour soi, bon pour sa santé, bon pour l’environnement, redéfinissant ainsi le paradigme alimentaire contemporain.

Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology

Research on Popular Cultures and Media Cultures Convention 2018

“Critical approaches to media fictions: stakes, tools and methods”

Research on popular cultures and media cultures emerged in the 1960s with a few seminal works, and developed considerably in the last 25 years, particularly in the last 10 years through the contributions of a new generation of researchers who fully own up to their immersion in contemporary transmedia and serial culture. Although many conferences have been organized in the field of media culture, and although researchers often read and are aware of each other’s research, we rarely get the opportunity to meet in a large group to compare our topics and perspectives or our areas of theory. The goal of this convention on popular cultures and media cultures is to fill this gap through meetings and unprecedented scientific debates between the disciplines, methodologies, tools, groups and networks…

Migrants in the globalizing city

Spaces, places and mobilities in Asia, Europe and the Middle East

While migrant presence and integration have shaped public debate and scientific enquiry for some time now, it has often been examined through eurocentric notions such as assimilation, multiculturalism and, more recently, cosmopolitanism. Yet, it is clear that not only Europe (or the Western World) has to deal with migration related issues, countries in Asia and the Middle East are also experiencing high inflows of variously skilled migrants, while the robustness of their borders are frequently tested by undocumented migrants and refugees.This conference proposes to give focus to globalising cities from Asia, Europe and the Middle East which are marked by the diversity of their population and distinct ways of managing migrant diversity.

Women of the Americas

The recognition of women’s place in American societies has become a crucial social, cultural, political and economic issue, as evidenced by worldwide protest movements such as Ni Una Menos that started in Argentina – a feminist movement fighting against feminicides and gender-based violence – or the Women’s March against President Donald Trump in the United States. Whether these protests have to do with the struggle for women’s right to vote, the sexual revolution that started in the 1960s, or social movements denouncing gender-based violence in urban and rural environments, they highlight a continuity between yesterday’s feminist fights and their re-adaptation in the public space.

Soft Power - ethics and interests

L’ambition de ce colloque est d’organiser des échanges sur le soft power et d’étudier plusieurs articulations, car les débats s’orientent vers les problématiques de gouvernance mondiale, les « sociétés civiles » s’intègrent dans les relations internationales qui ne sont donc plus des territoires réservés aux États et les réseaux d’informations et de communications transforment les logiques de transparence. Il s’agit aussi de débattre des sources du soft power de l'Union européenne dont le développement accroît l’influence, et dont la crédibilité est liée à la cohérence interne comme externe. Une attention particulière sera accordée au Soft Power comme outil efficace pour la politique étrangère des petits États qui peuvent ainsi accroître leur impact sur les affaires internationales.

Hip-hop worlds?

Revue ethnographiques.org journal

La revue en ligne de sciences humaines et sociales ethnographiques.org accueille des contributions d’étudiants ou de chercheurs en vue d’enrichir une réflexion théorique, méthodologique et réflexive sur les pratiques ethnographiques. Les travaux de disciplines proches (sociologie, histoire, géographie…) s’inscrivant dans ce projet sont également les bienvenus. Elle accorde en outre une place importante à l’utilisation de nouvelles techniques de restitution qui obligent à repenser le rendu du terrain ethnographique. Ce numéro de la revue ethnographiques.org vise à comprendre la logique des négociations de sens à l’œuvre dans l’appropriation de formes culturelles globalisées, à partir d’études ethnographiques des mondes hip-hop.

Ph.D. Scholarship “Trajectories of Change”

Focus 2018: Transnational and Regional Dynamics

Europe’s neighbourhood has experienced armed conflict, political transition and authoritarian restoration along with profound social and economic change. These transformation processes with deep historical roots have usually resulted from an interplay of domestic and transnational actors and factors. In order to reveal their complexity, a view through a transnational and regional lens can be rewarding: Which interdependences – past and present – are constitutive for the neighbouring regions of the European Union? How can we study transnational influences and effects on change in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East and North Africa region? How to distinguish and take into account factors of change across national borders and social boundaries? To which extent do these factors shape political, social and economic realities in these regions?

Contaminations, the environment, health and society: from risk assessment to public action

The quality of the environment is currently acknowledged as being a determining factor not only on health but also the social welfare of populations. Attention is regularly drawn to the harmful effects of environmental contamination on health and sustainable development at all levels, from local up to global. The uncertain consequences of their accumulation (cocktail effect) during unwanted exposure are potentially conflicting and damaging to health, thus making them a subject of concern. Studying environmental risks therefore requires an interdisciplinary approach, bringing into question scientific assessment methods and knowledge transfer to facilitate operations.

Photography, with or without capitalism

Since its invention, photography has had a strong relationship with the development of capitalism : not only was its expansion, in the 1870s, dependent on the development of industry, but it was also the prerogative of the bourgeoisie which used it for its symbolic recognition. This relationship of contemporaneity, which spans the history of photography, and in part dictates its fluctuations, is almost an ethos of photography. This matter can be observed without interruption up until today, whereas the topic of fluxes is regularly applied to both the circulation of money and of images. Indeed, from the outset, photography has been an image which the liberal logic can be applied to. That is why, one can ask oneself if the aesthetic developments of photography can be regulated, in one way or another, by its economic ramifications. Both by colluding and/or by resisting, it appears that many formal tendencies result from (or answer to) its familiarity with capitalist logic.
